Maybe Phreadom can play with a few colors after the move. We found someone who is working on the last hard bits.

逆襲

HOW TO WOW! Fun Words

逆襲

counter-attack

The word:	Closer look at the kanji:	B = Beginner \| I = Intermediate \| A = Advanced
逆襲 gyaku shuu counter-attack	逆 gyaku reverse, opposite 襲 shuu attack, pounce on	襲来 shuu rai - an invasion; an attack; a raid [A] 逆転 gyaku ten - a reversal; turnaround [I]

A distressed Henry began the rally despite the low turnout.

SUGGESTED USAGE:

ヘンリーは、音楽の業界値上げへの逆襲として、この誓いをたてた。「私はこれから絶対８トラックのテープを買いません。」
henri- wa, ongaku no gyou kai neage e no gyakushuu toshite, kono chikai o tateta. watashi wa korekara zettai eito torakku no te-pu o kaimasen.
As a counterattack on the music industry's recent price hike, Henry vowed to not buy new 8 tracks.

ABOUT SUGGESTED USAGE:

ヘンリー henri- - Henry
音楽 ongaku - music
業界 gyou kai - industry, the trade, world of
値上げ ne age - raise in price
へ he - to In this case meaning regarding the price raise
として toshite - as, through, in response to this This can be translated by different words depending context
この kono - this placed before what it modifies
誓い chikai - promise, vow
たてた tateta - made, established 誓い uses 立つ (to stand, establish) to mean make a vow
これから kore kara - from now on これ this + から from
絶対 zettai - absolutely, positively
８トラックのテープ eito torakku no te-pu - 8-track tape

We start off with ヘンリーは、since Henry is the main figure of the action. But since Japanese is flexible with word order, he could just as easily be put before kono chikai.

Other 業界 examples:
ファッションの業界 fasshon no gyou kai - fashion world (industry)
建築業界 ken chiku gyou kai - the building trade
ゲーム業界 ge-mu gyoukai - the Gaming world

Other をたてた examples:
計画を立てる kei kaku o tateru - to make a plan
目標を立てる moku hyou o tateru - to make a goal
