Koohii stories:

1) [Danieru] 22-6-2008(283): Guess what? Japanese has dirty words too! (In fact, a lot of them) A sexual story is NOT inappropriate here, as this kanji is very sexual, such as in 性欲 ; lust. As for a story: the lack of contact with a woman's valley will leave a man LONGING for love.

2) [mattoc_g] 20-7-2006(139): The valley has something my life is lacking…. something I've been longing for.. peace and quiet.

3) [konayuki] 23-9-2008(33): Imagine a young girl who has lived in this valley her whole life. She's looking out yawning. When confronted about it, she simply replies "This is such a valley of lack! There's nothing to do here but yawn! I'm longing to get out of here. I'm longing for something more than just this valley of lack, this valley of yawns".

4) [synewave] 24-7-2006(14): Nausicaa is longing to get back to the valley because she is homesick. She lacks her home.

5) [shimouma] 26-4-2008(13): When I lived in the valley I spent all my time yawning - now I find myself longing to return.
