Actual Japanese Windows Error Messages

 

Haiku: In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft Windows error messages with Haiku poetry messages.

 

Haiku poetry has strict construction rules - each poem has only 17 syllables;

  • 5 Syllables in the first
  • 7 In the second
  • 5 In the third.

They are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity.

 

Here are some actual error messages from Japan:

 

Three things are certain:

Death, taxes, and lost data.

Guess which has occurred.

 

Printer not ready.

Could be a fatal error.

Have a pen handy?

 

Errors have occurred.

We won’t tell you where or why.

Lazy programmers.

 

Windows crashed.

I am the Blue Screen of Death.

No one hears your screams.

 

Server’s poor response

Not quick enough for browser.

Timed out, plum blossom.

 

The Web site you seek

Cannot be located, but

Countless more exist.

 

Chaos reigns within.

Reflect, repent, and reboot.

Order shall return.

 

Program aborting

Close all that you have worked on.

You ask far too much.

 

Yesterday it worked.

Today it is not working.

Windows is like that.

 

Your file was so big.

It might be very useful.

But now it is gone.

 

Stay the patient course.

Of little worth is your ire.

The network is down.

 

A crash reduces

Your expensive computer

To a simple stone.

 

You step in the stream,

But the water has moved on.

This page is not here.

 

Out of memory.

We wish to hold the whole sky,

But we never will.

 

Having been erased,

The document you’re seeking

Must now be retyped.

 

Everything is gone;

Your life’s work has been destroyed.

Squeeze trigger (yes/no)?

 

Serious error.

All shortcuts have disappeared.

Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
