Cam Site Glossary
26 terms every viewer runs into, in plain English. New to SexJapanPorn? Start here, then dive into the live rooms.
- Ahegao
- A deliberately exaggerated facial expression borrowed from manga and anime, performed as a visual punchline rather than anything spontaneous.
- Annyeong (안녕)
- Korean for hello, and equally for goodbye. Annyeonghaseyo is the polite full form and is never the wrong choice with someone you have just met.
- Arigatou (ありがとう)
- Thank you in Japanese; arigatou gozaimasu is the polite version. Worth typing after any request a model actually fulfils.
- Bangkok hours (ICT, UTC+7)
- Thailand runs one hour behind Tokyo. A 9pm Bangkok show is 9am in New York and 6am in Los Angeles, so the Thai grid is an American-morning roster.
- Chuu (ちゅう)
- The Japanese onomatopoeia for a kiss. You will see it typed in chat constantly; it is affectionate, not a request.
- Ecchi (エッチ)
- Playfully naughty rather than explicit — the mild end of the scale in Japanese usage, and a word models use about themselves with a wink.
- Ganbatte (頑張って)
- Do your best, keep going. The standard thing an entire Japanese chat types when a model is working toward a goal.
- Kawaii (可愛い)
- Cute. The single most-typed word in Japanese cam chat, and a compliment that lands in almost any room across East Asia.
- Konbanwa (こんばんは)
- Good evening in Japanese — and remember that it is her evening, not yours. See the time-zone entries below.
- Kosupure / cosplay (コスプレ)
- Costume play. In Japanese and Korean rooms it is treated as a craft, with proper wigs, lenses and props, and performers stay in character while reading chat.
- Manila hours (PHT, UTC+8)
- The Philippines is 12 hours ahead of New York and 15 ahead of Los Angeles. A Manila evening show is US breakfast time — which is why Filipina rooms fill up while America is still waking up.
- Mosaic / bokashi (ぼかし)
- The pixelation required on adult video published inside Japan. International cam platforms are not Japanese publications, so live streams on them are not mosaiced.
- Namahousou (生放送)
- Literally live broadcast — the standard Japanese word for streaming, and how a model describes what she is doing right now.
- Onee-san (お姉さん)
- Older sister; used as a persona and a term of address for an adult woman who runs her room with confidence. Every performer on the platform is 18 or over.
- Oppa / unnie (오빠 / 언니)
- Korean terms of address that carry warmth and familiarity rather than literal family meaning. Used constantly in Korean chat.
- Oshi (推し)
- The performer you personally champion — your pick, the one you show up for. Japanese fan culture takes the idea seriously and so do the models.
- Otsukaresama (お疲れ様)
- Thanks for your hard work, said at the end of a stream. Typing it as she signs off is the most Japanese thing you can do in a chat box, and it is always noticed.
- Po / opo
- Filipino particles of respect, added to sentences rather than translated. You will see them in Taglish chat, and they signal politeness rather than formality.
- Salamat / kamusta
- Thank you and how are you, in Filipino. Two words, and they change the temperature of a room instantly.
- Sawatdee kha / khrap (สวัสดี)
- Hello in Thai. The ending changes with the speaker’s gender — kha from a woman, khrap from a man — so type khrap if you are male.
- Seoul hours (KST, UTC+9)
- Korea shares Tokyo’s clock. A 10pm Seoul stream is 8am in New York and 5am in Los Angeles the same morning.
- Sugoi (すごい)
- Amazing, incredible. The reaction word, typed by half the chat at any interesting moment.
- Taglish
- The natural English-Tagalog mix most Filipino models chat in. You do not need any Tagalog to follow it, which is why these are the easiest Asian rooms for an English speaker.
- Tokyo hours (JST, UTC+9)
- Japan is 14 hours ahead of New York and 17 ahead of Los Angeles in winter, one less in US summer time. A 9pm Tokyo show is 7am on the US East Coast, and the American evening lands in the Japanese mid-morning.
- US evening in Asia
- When it is 9pm in New York it is already 10am the next day in Tokyo and Manila. That is why the Asia grid thins out in the American evening and the diaspora rooms take over.
- Yoroshiku (よろしく)
- Roughly “nice to meet you, please be good to me” — the standard Japanese thing to type on arriving in a room for the first time.
A little language goes a very long way
Almost nobody watching an Asian cam room bothers to learn ten words of the language, which is exactly why the ones who do get remembered. A greeting in Japanese, a thank-you in Thai, an “otsukaresama” at the end of a stream — none of it is hard, and all of it changes how a room treats you. The time-zone entries above matter just as much: half of watching this roster is knowing what hour it is at the other end. Put it to use in Japanese, Korean or Filipina rooms, or browse by country.
