Genjitsukai Mac OS

Posted on  by

This site describes how to use Japanese on a Macintosh computer, particularly for people who use a Mac predominantly in English but also want to read, write, browse, and email in Japanese. This front page contains information on activating Japanese support in Mac OS: start by following the instructions below, then consult the other pages on the site for information on specific tasks and applications: email, web browsing, dictionary software, etc.

Japanese people would say 'genjitsu' to mean 'reality'. In this blog post, this word is explained in detail based on its kanji expression. Global Nav Open Menu Global Nav Close Menu; Apple; Shopping Bag +. Today using Japanese with the Mac is relatively seamless. Mac OS comes installed with support for reading and editing Japanese-in documents, in email, and on the web. Thanks to RehabMan for providing OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config, OS-X-Null-Ethernet, and SATA-unsupported. Thanks to Sniki for providing EAPD-Codec-Commander. Thanks to VoodooI2C for providing VoodooI2C.

Yeah, they're still around. While it hasn't been worked on for a while, Addict's 'Dai' is a nice illustrator.

The instructions on this site are up to date for Mac OS 10.13 (High Sierra), but you can use them with very slight changes for earlier versions of Mac OS X. (For significantly older systems, see the 'Other Resources' page on this site.)

Getting Started: How to Enable Japanese Input in Mac OS

Today using Japanese with the Mac is relatively seamless. Mac OS comes installed with support for reading and editing Japanese--in documents, in email, and on the web. If you receive Japanese email in Apple's Mail application or go to a Japanese web page in Safari, the Japanese will probably display correctly without your doing anything special or reading any further on this page. If this does not work smoothly, if you want to enable additional features in these programs, or if you want to input Japanese text (to create documents, do web searches, or send email in Japanese, for example), you'll need to take some extra steps. These are described below, and on the other pages of this site.

To enable input in Japanese (or other Asian languages), go to System Preferences from the Apple menu, click on the blue flag icon labeled Language & Region. Click on the button marked with a plus sign in the lower left to add a new language, then select Japanese from the menu and click the Add button. You will be asked you if you would like to use Japanese as your primary language; for now choose 'Use English,' unless you want the menus and dialogs in the finder and other applications to switch to Japanese.

If you have a trackpad, you may also want to repeat this process to add 'Traditional Chinese' or 'Simplified Chinese,' which will bring up a second window allowing you to choose the 'Trackpad Handwriting' option. This will let you enter kanji characters by drawing them on the trackpad.

The next step is to set the options for Japanese input. Click on the 'Keyboard Preferences…' button at the bottom of the Language & Region window, which will take you directly to the Input Sources tab of the Keyboard Preferences pane. From the menu on the left, choose 'Japanese.' (If you have an older versions of MacOS, this may say 'kotoeri', which was the earlier, more poetic name of the Japanese input method). You'll see the different Japanese input preference options. Set them as follows to start out:

  • Check the boxes for hiragana and katakana.
  • Uncheck the 'Live Conversion' box for now.
  • Scroll down a little further in the panel (past the content shown below) and find an option called 'Predictive Candidates'; it should be unchecked.
  • Check the box that says 'Show input menu in menu bar' at the bottom of the preferences pane.

If you now look at the menu bar at the very top of the screen, you should see the icon for the input menu--it probably looks like a little flag. You can now select Hiragana or Katakana from that menu to enter Japanese text in almost any application. For more on how to enter Japanese text, see the page on Typing in Japanese elsewhere on this site.) If Hiragana or Katakana is already selected as the input method when you click on the input menu, you'll get a longer menu with options specific to Japanese input, including a help option.

Do I need a Japanese Keyboard?

Most users (including native speakers) enter Japanese by typing the pronunciation in roman characters, so you do not need a special Japanese keyboard. If you have a Japanese a keyboard, it has a few extra keys you can take advantage of, as well as the option of dispensing with roman character input and having each key map to a specific kana character. The online Apple store now has an option that lets you select a Japanese keyboard as an option when you buy a new Mac. If you are using a Japanese keyboard or laptop, you can choose between the rōmaji or kana input method in the Japanese input preferences.

Choosing English or Japanese Menus in Applications

To enable Japanese menus in the Finder and other applications, you can go to System Preferences under the Apple menu, then select the icon for the Language & Region preferences pane. Add Japanese to the list of languages as described above, if it does not appear there already. If you drag Japanese above English in the list, the finder and many other applications will open next time with Japanese menus. Even if you do not want Japanese menus, make sure Japanese appears somewhere in your list of languages. Just having it there unlocks Japanese features in certain software, like Japanese encoding in Apple's Mail application.

You can also set the menu language of specific applications individually. Many (though not all) applications have menus in different languages built in. You can activate these with a third-party application called Language Switcher.

Next Steps

For a guide to entering text in Japanese, see the page on Typing in Japanese, elsewhere on this site. For an introduction to using Japanese with different applications, see the pages on Text Editors, Dictionaries, and Browsers. All of these are accessible from the navigation bar at left.

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Genjitsukai [GxB GxG] [Romance Otome Vampire]

What if you're so obsessed with Vampires that you wholeheartedly believe
them to exist in real life and you've made it your life goal to prove their existence to the world?
This is the case for 19 year old Cherise. Having been obsessed with vampires for years she spends most of her time reading vampire themed books, thinking of theories to prove their existence and most importantly; being on the outlook to find one!
The latter has been rather unsuccessful — that is until Cherise finds Dalton and Aleisha, two people who make her 'Vampire sensor' overheat. Being full of excitement and hope she makes it her next mission to get close to them and prove once and for all that she isn't crazy like most people believe her to be.

In Genjitsukai you get the option to choose a route at the beginning and this will change the story you'll get completely;


Special description for Dalton's route;

In this route Cherise has recently spotted a (inhumanly!) handsome guy who
made her Vampire senses flare up immediately. With the sudden gut feeling she had to follow him, she chased him around for at least 30 minutes until he suddenly sensed her from a pretty big distance — this only being a confirmation to her that he is, indeed, something special. She tried to follow him home, but frustratingly enough ended up losing him somewhere along the road.
But then, a week or so later, she meets him again at the same shopping district. And this time she is fully determined not to lose him again.


Special description for Aleisha's route;

In this route Cherise meets a strange girl at her favourite bookstore, who makes a sudden remark on the specific books Cherise is carrying at the moment. Being offended by her description of it being 'unrealistic' and 'a pain to get through' — especially once the girl pointed out Cherise her favourite book of all time — she waves her opinions off and continues her way, but then suddenly it hits her that the way the girl pointed it out was rather suspicious.
Suddenly being triggered by a form of excitement and curiosity she decides to go back and talk to the girl, only to find out that she is long gone.
Then she made a promise to herself that, if she were to ever see her again she'd make it a proper discussion and try to figure out whether this girl was a vampire fanatic like herself or perhaps the key to finding out a truth she has always hoped for.

A Note from KagiProjects:

Kai

We're glad to finally be able to share this game with you that we've worked so very hard on in the past month. KagiProjects had the wish to participate in NaNoRenO for a few years and we've finally been able to do so.

Of course we would have liked to make this game more complex, but with lack of time we decided that a more simple game would be nice for NaNoRenO.

Does anyone need a walkthough because I need one for real life and every game XD Seriously is there a walkthough for this game?

(there are less choices in the dudes route yet I can't get the good ending T_T )

Yeah... Alisha is adorable and cute... and smart... and she has even more advantages.

Art style of game is of course good too.

Genjutsu Kai Mac Os X

I really like the story. About love, understanding each other and accepting all the defects. Very beatufil and romantic ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Aleisha is so sweet and adorable, I loved her route, thank you very much for doing this game !

We're glad you've liked her route. Thank you for playing our game!

This game is GREAT! I've only played Aleisha's route because I had my eyes on this route since the beginning and I can only say that the good ending was really cute. I was worried at the beginning that Cherise would annoyed me but I find that her passion for vampire was credible and I really loved her. Plus, I liked the explanation about vampire nature, it's change of what we're used to see.

Thanks you so much for making this game!

Aww, thank you so much. The compliment about Cherise and the explanation about vampire nature means a lot to me. Thank YOU for playing and liking it!

OH MY GOD! *fangirls* FFNNSRDGVNIPGWRE DALTON IS SOOOOO HHHHHOOOTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you :3 We hope you enjoy his route as much as his design~~

this game is awesome but i keep getting dalton bad end any tips on how to get his good end?

Thank you for liking and playing our game :) I've made a playthrough for everyone who gets stuck with getting the desired endings. You can read it here: Genjitsukai Playthrough

Very fun game, Aleisha's route put the kind of grin on my face that I don't want to have but just can't shake off because the two of them are just too adorable together. So much blush ///. Dalton a bit less because the flirting badboy is never really that much to my taste but his good end was still nice. I was kinda rooting for Dalton to be a regular human all along or a different kind of mythical creature (There's no such thing as vampires, silly. I'm a fairy, see?) just for the anticlimactic reaction that Cherise would've had on it.

Aww! Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked Aleisha's route so much. It's true that they are very adorable : ) Haha, that's alright. Everyone has their own tastes. I LOVE that idea about the fairy - I wish I would have thought of it. It's true that I (as the writer) do wish to one day make a fairy game so I laughed when I read that. The 'good ends' are actually also the TRUE ends of the games. Thank you for playing our game and commenting ^^

omg!! i love this game!! i wish it was longer!! but amazing job!! keep the games going im waiting for more!!!

Hey! Thank you for showing interest in our games, we appreciate it! : ) I'm glad you've enjoyed the game and I'm sorry that it wasn't as long as you wished for. I can promise that Secrets will definitely be longer than Genjitsukai.

Thank you :) At least we put the demo back on now! (In case you weren't aware yet) ^^
