    • 2003, Nagaru Tanigawa, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Kadokawa Shoten, page 11:
      『ただの人間(にんげん)には興味(きょうみ)ありません。この中(なか)に宇宙人(うちゅうじん)、未(み)来(らい)人(じん)、異世(いせ)界(かい)人(じん)、超能(ちょうのう)力(りょく)者(しゃ)がいたら、あたしのところに来(き)なさい。以上(いじょう)。』
      “Tada no ningen ni wa kyōmi arimasen. Kono naka ni uchūjin, miraijin, isekaijin, chōnōryokusha ga itara, atashi no tokoro ni kinasai. Ijō.”
      "Normal humans don't interest me. If anyone here is an alien, a time traveler, slider, or an esper, then come find me! That is all."
