We would like to introduce some onomatopoeia today. They are very useful and so much fun so you should check them out!
There are hundreds of onomatopoeic expressions, so we have picked out three of them that are commonly used and easy to remember for you.
・ぴかぴか (pika pika)

2. Something thin and cheap-looking.
