Btw, there was someone whose avatar included an animated sequence of young men with moustaches. Anyone know which drama those pictures were from?

Are you referring to this avatar? If you are then it's from a Mario Kart commercial.

All right, thanks! 🙂 I wonder who the actor(s) is.

Why do stoplights have the primary colors red and yellow, and then green instead of blue?

There are times when you will miss what you never had. I wonder how you will find what you so desperately need.

Not sure if there's another meaning, but "Takedera", the name of a place. The kanji parts mean bamboo and temple I think.

There's a Tendai temple called by that name in Hannou, Saitama Prefecture. Not sure if that's what it refers to though. Looks more like someone's made up name for their home page or something looking at the picture.

please, help me with this one. I hope my explanation would be good enough. so, how do you say English, when nothing bad could happen to you, but could in the past, but didn't, and you are free to thing, there would be no harm anymore. in my language we say "byť za vodou", english "being behind the water". I think it could be "being behind harm", but I wonder. thanks.

if there is an option between "to do" and "not to do", I will always choose the latter.

Like an idiom/catchphrase?

Thanks, mattai and 狂気.

You could say the person is "out of harm's way" (the person is safe) or they made it "out of the woods" (the person made it past a dangerous situation unharmed).

Looking for... shoujo with a canned peach confession. Don’t English me I’m panic.

To "get off scot-free" also comes to mind.

But that's more along the lines of if you did something bad and didn't get caught, or you got caught but not punished.

The user didn't say what was the cause of potential harm; so,it would still work.

I didn't think about doing something bad and got out unharmed, but thanks anyway. I think I will go with "out of harm's way" or "out of the woods", but I never came across the second one.

if there is an option between "to do" and "not to do", I will always choose the latter.

I think there's something like "being in clear waters" or "sailing in clear waters", but couldn't find anything like that by google. I asked my friend though and she also suggested the same lines so I doubt I'm just imagining it...
