Does anyone know what these Japanese loan words mean? I've seen them in various books and the Yui official score book. Will add more as I read further. Can't find these in my dictionary and no idea what english word they're associated with!

I'll add in the katakana words when I log in using a Firefox browser on my home PC.

Kime キメ

Moya Moya　モヤモヤ [it's in the lyrics of 'Help', Tokyo B-side]

 right, Ids... but they might mean something xD
like "chapu chapu" it's the sound of the rain or, like mrsean told us in a Staff Diary, "waiwai" is like "noisy"

Chapu chapu チャプチャプ. That's from the song 'Umbrella' right? I never thought of rain sounding like that. Only the Lord knows how Japanese folk approximated that!

I do recall that 'doki doki　ドキドキ' was an onomotapeia for heartbeat to denote 'excited'.

 ringring for bells and kaban for knocking sounds right? =P well if you hear a raindrop falling in a pool of water you hear something like chup --> chapu? =P I personally dont think 'splash' is a good word for it either, sounds more like a waterfall

Anime/manga always uses zuzuzuzuzuzu ズズズズズズズ　for sound effects, like the shuffling noise made by someone sneaking up.

 hmm... they say ペコペコ peko peko when they're hungry

i like more "chapu" than "spash"... japanese onomotapeias are more cute xD and i find it more understandable (that word exist?)...

 Those aren't loan words like スポッツ, ハンバーガー or シャンス.
モヤモヤ means "Hazy, misty, feeling sad, feeling fuzzy, feeling depressed, gloomy" (definition from the EDICT database)

and キメ... I think this is a native Japanese word, just in katakana for emphasis.

Those aren't loan words like X|bc, no[K[ or VX.
means "Hazy, misty, feeling sad, feeling fuzzy, feeling depressed, gloomy" (definition from the EDICT database)

and L... I think this is a native Japanese word, just in katakana for emphasis.
Thanks! Anyone know what 'sabi' サビ means? Another music term [I think] missing from the dictionary.....

Groovy! Be so cool if the EDICT database was a free to use facility like Dictionary.com.

 It IS free. Some softwares use that database (offline database).

Try this one for Windows. Although it's a bit old:
http://wakan.manga.cz/?page=download (uses romaji only)

...and this one is for Windows, MacOS X and Linux (uses romaji for english words and kana/kanji for Japanese)
http://www.tagaini.net/

I prefer the latter because it is an active project and is still updated from time to time. By the way, they aren't just dictionaries. They are study assistants as well.
