I apologize, I hope I am doing this correctly. I'm new at this.
orz

Set up beautifully.

>>2 Thank you. I was very nervous because I don't know Japanese, and was just making logical assumptions about what goes where.

according to the lastfm radiohead is the most popular band in japan this week

>>5 Really? With what song or album? I'm a bit surprised, aren't there more than enough great japanese bands to rival the foreign ones?

you can watch it by himself:
http://www.last.fm/place/japan
but it's very inaccurate statistics because only 2800 japanese people
registered at that site. and to say frankly i dont think that japanese music
is interesting

not 2800, but 4544.

見ろよ。良い女だぜ　おまえどっちを選ぶ？



ヨロシクお願いします。

>>7 Ah. I wouldn't know. Just that there are so many people going ga-ga over japanese bands in both america and europe. So i was assuming there are more than enough good bands in Japan.

I worked a wonder at the end of the previous thread
A dream was born when all my brain tissues went to bed

well, they're doing good job at selling their product, but it's just a product.
just like ordinary american MTV pop/rock. boring.

>>11
can you explain?

I'm madly in love with the Japanese band Onmyoza:

Official website:
ttp://www.onmyo-za.net/index.html

English version:
ttp://www.onmyo-za.net/eng/index.html

>>13
I have nothing to explain
All my words go down the drain

pizzicato 5 was popular in USA. and the shibuya-kei thing too

rock is dead. go back to 60s.

>>15 *hug*

I am missing the links to the offsite mirrors. Can somebody provide them?
They didn't get linked in the previous and this thread anymore... orz

>>22
Thank you for your honest opinion.

>>1-31
Please become happy.

>>32
You too, honey.

>>31
how my honest opinion can affect you? it's not your band or anything.
what a moron, lol

>>34
I am a Moron type O negative, inhabitting on the third planet, IQ sub-zero, thank you.

>>25 i'm not that cute :-p

>>28-30 thank you. i've only started visiting this board yesterday, so i forgot to link to those. sorry.
orz

urban predator is not really predator. victim more suits him.
something like Urban Victim

I wonder can a guy really value his appearance?

>>36
Your name is remarkably cute I must say, k-tan.
But I'm afraid to say that mine is cuter.

>>35
PANZER, is that you?

>>38 Value how?
Judge his own appearance? Well, if the guy is objective, then i would say yes.

>>37
You have a keen sense of critique, sir.

Hi from big country, Germany

Where are you from, k-tan?

>>40
No, I am not a tank, captain. Besides, tanks do not speak bad English as I do.

>>39 Heh, your name reminds me of the book with the title "Pedestrian Wolves" by J. Grant. A very good book. :-)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1894815149/102-9405524-9500127?v=glance
http://www.jameslgrant.com/ being the author's page.

>>44 I'm in the southern part of Sweden :-)

>>43 Guten Tag?

>>37
but can objective exist when we talk about human appearance?
i dont count if the guy is really ugly.

Cool. Sweden is beautiful.
What do you think about this forum?

>>46
I've never heard of the author you mentiond.
Actually, I picked up this name from a song of Swedish heavy metal band The Haunted.
'Urban Predator' is on their third album entitled ONE KILL WONDER released in 2003.
Their tunes are extremely aggressive, violent, merciless stuff.

>>48 Relatively, yes. Which is why it is so frustrating for me, because i easily both can see why people think i'm cute as well as ugly. It's all a matter of what perferences someone has.
But then again, i'm overly analytical. I usually easily notice the details in various subjects.

>>49 Interesting place. I definitely need to start hanging out here, especially since i actually can understand this part, since it's in English and I can't speak Japanese yet.

Hi, there.
I know most of you are in love with Yukorin, who don't know
about you at all. So I'm sorry to say your effort to compliment
her will end up in vain. My advice is, forget about her completely.

What happened to your homework, k-tan?
Don't tell me 2ch BBS is your homework.

Tell me what is Yukorin's charm? I wonder why so many of you
love her because she's boring.

>>46 Ah, unfortunately I haven't heard of the band. Maybe I should check them out, do you think their music is good?

>>53
You're alway talking like that.
I suggest to you thinking harder than now.

>>53 Heh. I wish. My homework got started on, then I got distracted with late lunch.

>>54 By the way.. Who is Yukorin?

I want to talk with Mr Shit.
Is there anyone here who knows where he's gone?

I hope he will come back and show us his dignity.

>>57
Are you kidding? We've been discussing things about her in this thread
for ages. Guess you're new here, right?

You can talk with mr.shit right now!
yukorin is ogura yuko

Yeah very interesting.
I understand Japanese a bit and with the help of computer translation I found it's very funny as well.
Especially emotions like (@e@)

@k-tan

>>55
The Haunted is one of my favourite bands. Their latest album rEVOLVEr (2004)
was great with the original vocalist Peter Dolving coming back.
You can check out just a few of sample tracks at ttp://www.the-haunted.com/

>>58
Amazed to know how many of you are still fond of him.
I read yesterday that some other guys love to have a chat
with him.

>>59 I've only been here since yesterday. And i've seen people say 'yukorin this' and 'yukorin that', but i didn't know who this yukorin was.

>>61 Heh. Lucky you. And yeah, the anime smileys are awesome (^____^)

>>60
What're you saying?
Are you Mr Shit?

Yukorin is a cute girl

>>65
Reference >>60
She's been hot in the English board. People say she's pretty
and cute.

>>63 Thank you. ^_^

*looks at links*
wow.. She's so very cute. And 28 days older than me o.O;;;

>>67
I'll say. But others say Kimura Kaera and Aibu Saki look
better than her.

http://www.star-lights.net/yuko/images/middle.jpg
ttp://www.angelfire.com/blog2/fourthsg/images/Ogura_Yuko/Ogura_Yuko04.jpg
She doesn't look like, but on some photos she does remind me of the actress who played Sailor Mars in the live action BSSM series. Very cute.

>>70
She is. And yes she looks yonger than a 21 year-old girl is expected.
Most people here have been enchanted, though of course some are not
as I said.

o.O;;;;; yukorin is as short as me, too. I'm not even half as cute as her, though. Damn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuko_Ogura

If Mr shit have yet posted anonymously, I'd like him
to show himself and talk to us like he did several months ago.

>>73 *nods*
Somehow the whole bit about "not looking the age they are" makes me think of Sayaa, though she's the other way around. -_-;;;; *shakes head at the pedos*

>>75 Mr. Shit was that entertaining?

>>74
Don't worry.
Cuteness is important for idols, while cheerfulness is most needed
for non-idols.

>>77
Not entertaining but quite intelligent.
I talked with him before and I found him very interesting.
He was gentle.
I wonder if the poster who said mr shit was here right now
had a chat with recently or not.

K-tan is a girl?
Well, I'd be happy that Dwaine guy isn't here tonight.
If he were, we would endure his disgusting talks.

i am amused. A friend of mine just fanboyed over http://www.icedmind.com/random/rentrerensoi-takumi1.jpg
He wants to get the same hairdo as him.

>>80 Yes I'm a girl, why do you wonder?

>>79 ahh, intelligent is good.

>>78 I see.

>>81
Ah, what do you mean, fanboyed over?
My English is limited.

>>82
The reason was, I couldn't tell whether a poster was a girl
or a boy, especially online and in English.
Hope you didn't feel offended.

>>83 sorry, made a verb out of a noun.. What i ment is that he behaved like a fanboy at that and other images of that guy.

this is what he said when i said he was behaving in a cute manner:
"Tehee! I am noooot~ Im just a silly fanboy! Hes GORGEOUS x3 I want! I hope I can get his hair done soon *squee!*"

>>84 Heh.. No, no, I am not the least bit offended, I've been mistaken for a guy often when it comes to chatting online. People seem to think that if you know anything about programming, you can't be a girl.
I was merely curious if it mattered what gender i had, and if so, why that mattered.

"Anime smileys" suck.
Go here for cool emoticons: http://aa5.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/kao/1122656961/

>>83
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world."

--Albert Einstein

>>87 Heh.. Those are what i call anime smileys :-p The japanese chatroom i used to hang out in 1999 called them 'anime smileys', so that is what i have continued to call them ever since.

>>88 True, very true.

>>86
You have a point, but at the same time some silly guys
pretend they are lovely girls because they know males love to
chat with females, as you may know.

>>88
And?

>>91
I'm a lovely girl. Wanna play with me?

>>93
Love to. Where can we meet?

Mr shit was quite nice. He'd change the world.

>>91 It shouldn't matter much if one is a female or a male, in my opinion. I think people too often forget that we all are human. We just have some minor differences.

>>94
How about in my dream? I'll be available in about an hour.

Kimura Kaera has been popular as well.
She sings very well.

>>96
You sound very educational. Good, good.
But face the reality.

>>97
Cool!

>>99 Hmm? Which reality?

>>98
I admit she sings well. I prefer Yukorin, though.

>>98
What do you see in her?

>>95
No single man can change the world. It's the minds of people that can change it.

>>102
I don't want to badmouth her but she's not so smart, is she?
Kaera is a good singer and is entertaining because of her witness.
If Yukorin speak well, it's a different story.

>>103
She is exotic and cheerful.
And I personally think an idol will be successful if she
get popular among not only boys but girls.
Yukorin is only for males; however, lots of girls of Kaera's age
like her. Yukorin makes believe she knows nothing but her inside
must be very evil. Sorry, don't get upset.

I'm going off line now.
Good night, every one.
And I'll see you in my dream, sweet dude. >>100

>>102
Don't you know?
Yukorin released her CDs and she apeared on TV show to sing a
song. But it was terrible... I couldn't stand it.

>>106 Good night, Urban Predator. Sweet dreams ^__^

>>107
An idol is just an idol.
I'd say you asked for much.

>>105
She is half English so no wonder she looks exotic.
How about Beccky, by the way? Her eyes are attractive.
Her nose looks quite different from Japanese girls.

>>110 Beccky who?

>>111
Where are you from?
She's a famous TV talent in Japan.

Beccky is fluent both in Japanese and English.
Plus, she talks very smart and more entertaining than Kaera, IMO.

>>107>>110
No matter what you say, Yukorin is the best idol.

Yukorin's fart smells like vanilla.

>>112 Sweden.I've only started hanging out at this forum yesterday. I apologize about asking a stupid question, but i don't know much about famous idols in japan.

>>115
So silly of her.
I'm sure she's out of her mind. What made her believe her fart does?

what is your favourite place in tokyo? i like shinjuku

>>116
Don't be sorry. We can tell you what it's like in Japan.
So feel free to post questions you want to know about-anything.

But you may be asked why you shoot a question
everyone knows. We don't have so many people overseas here.

>>116
by the way, this place can be really stupid and very slow sometimes

>>118
Why shinjuku? It's over crowded, isn't it?

>>119 Ah, thanks :-D
>>120 I noticed. I don't mind, the stupidity here is nothing in comparison to the /b/ board on 4chan :-D

I like this dude a lot
http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k24981539

>>121
I like buildings and shinjuku sky

>>120
Yeah, I myself love to talk about idol sometimes, but
some other time, don't. Don't know you are calling it stupid, though.

>>122
I adore Sweden because of its first-rate social benefit system.
I've studied Japanese laws related to social benefit and insurance,
that's why.

damn, build career as a photographer is hard. everyone wants to have a cool job
but only few have a talent

>>125
I am not calling that stupid, this place is pretty ok right now, but other times
it's almost no one writing to it, or writing non-sense

>>125 Ah, cool. How do the laws and systems differ?

>>126 Yes, takes a lot of talent, a lot of exposure, and some luck.

>>124
I see. I thought you liked to go to shinjuku ni chome.

the world is changed completely in the last 15 years. it's because of internet.
now, all of the humanity knowledge stock in the one place. everyone has the access
to it. everyone can create a blog and write something. the times are changes
rapidly.

>>130 Hasn't the times always been rapidly changing? Just a matter of in what area. No?

>>127
I see. Seems like people get quiet here..

>>128
Generally, they were changed and worsened.
As you may or may not know, the rate of Japanese seniors
are getting higher and higher. So we couldn't enjoy benefit.
This is a big problem.

>>131
yeah, but not like nowadays. the our era reminds me a lot of the beginning of 20th
century hehe. i hope some horrible world war dont happen

>>132 yeah, i know. Many other countries are suffering from the same problem.

>>133 Ack, i hope so too. =(

>>132
Supplement: more money will be needed because senior people
often go to hospital but fewer citizens
(younger generation) have to cover the money, which leads to
deficit and so we can't enjoy benefit properly.

>>134
What is things like in Sweden?
I heard that you pay considerable amount of tax money but in
return, you'll pay. Correct?

We are feeling deadlocked, so smiles of idols such as Yukorin
are healing.

Everyone off to bed?

>>137 Well, for instance, going to school in Sweden is payed for via taxes.

>>139 not for another five hours. But i am cleaning my room while keeping an eye on this board.

>>143 Heh. Thank you ^__^

Still no word on mom/son porn?

who are you? Are you a bad man? 36 aged warehouse slave?

>>122
/b/? You fool! :P

>> 143
This seems to be the only thread that's moving though (and so fast!)... But oh well.

As for the "standards of living" stuff...

Australia might not be at the very top for standards of living, but Melbourne (a city of Australia) is rated as The Economist's Most Livable City.
http://theage.com.au/articles/2004/02/06/1075854028808.html

Although the last victory was tied.

"the award was based on a survey of a city's infrastructure, access, education levels, crime rate, focus on the environment, culture and events, its diversity and how connected it was with the rest of the world."

[insert gloat]

>>148
You are silly Aussie, yes you are.
Aren't you? Who's a silly Aussie? You are, yes you are.

>>149
*yelps excitedly and paws*

>>148
by diversity you are refering to all the racial strife right?
what with the Asians fighting the Greek, the Greeks fighting the
Aborigines and everybody fighting whitey

>>147 Heh? Fool? Who me? Why? >=D
>>148 Ahh.. Handy to know.

>>145 Sorry, no.

And i badly need to go to bed. it's 4 am x__X;;;;;;;;;;

>>151
Huh?

There's a lot of racial diversity -- and yes, there's some racism here. But racist crimes are still crimes and Melbourne has a low crime rate (apparently that's why it did 5 ranks better than Sydney).

But I think "diversity" refers to sub-cultures and such (individualism?). I don't think matters of skin colour are seen as important...

>>153
"some"? perhaps you're being generous no?

>>154
If you're implying that there's some kind of racial warfare going on, I think you'll be disappointed.

Most of the racism in Australia (therefore Melbourne) at the moment is directed at Muslims -- because of all that "war on terrorism" stuff going on. I'm sure it's much worse in the US & UK.

What prompts you to say that?

I mean... Geez...
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1054/1054_01.asp

Why are there so many people entering names on this thread... :/

The so-called "war on terrorism" is indeed rather horrid in the
US... it's a bit scary.

Well, I just kinda figured it'd be easier if I gave myself an ID, so that you'd be able to remember I'm one of the foreigners -- (ie speak good English, poor Japanese). *shrugs*

Besides, western forums usually make people register, so we're kind of used to it, I guess.

>>145
You're the reason why western forums require registration. :P

I want to know how people who don't speak Japanese detect this thread.
Anyway, I am happy to see remarks from around the world.

I'm a foreigner, too, but I speak enough Japanese to get around
2ch. XD; When in Rome, leave your name off like the Romans do,
eh? It keeps away the "gaijins go home" dorkuses, too.

I heard about 2ch on TV... this was before the 'Densha Otoko'
phenomenon, but I bet that's where a lot of other people heard
of it...

2ch BBS >> ENGLISH >> Chat in English (英語で雑談) Part xx

We can read enough. ^_^

>>160

Densha Otoko... aka 'Train Man'?

>>162
Yep. Have you read it?

Carbon Copy Man, are you k-tan?

>>163
After hearing about 2ch, I looked it up on Wikipedia. It talked about him. Intriguing phenomenon.

I did make a few posts as anonymous first, but after k-tan and getting more comfortable with the site, I figured there was no harm.

Wikipedia... breakfast of champions.

It's my personal goal to someday be featured in wiki. XD

>>164
No.

Actually in the US it seems there is a lot more hate towards Hispanics then towards Moslems.

I heard about 2ch from a japanese person... it's too bad nothing like it exists
in some non-japanese incarnation, because it's a wonderful idea. And yes, I do
know about "Train Man"

if reality train-man dont have any chances to date a girl like hermes. not because he is
an otaku, but because she is a rich and he is a poor

Foreigners always think it's the best idea to post with a name.

>>160
Gaijin go home

>>160
why are you in Japan? (if i may ask)

>>160
I think people could tell that you are not Japanese without you
giving yourself a name

There are rules here.
But it is almost a lawless area. That is 2ch.
English threads are generally good.
But try other threads of this forum, many of them are kinda sucks ugly.

People gone mad !

I don't want to be NEET anymore.

>>157
Because i was told to enter a name, here, by japanese natives on the board :-p I was happily posting anonymously until then.

>>158 Used to it, unless one hangs out at wapanese boards like 4chan and wakachan. :-D Though, those places still have tripcodes if one wants to be a tripcode fag.

>>159 Hmmm if i remember correctly, i found a link somewhere on 4-ch.net

>>160 Heh, yeah. Though I heard about 2ch long before seeing Densha Otoko. My boyfriend studies japanese language and culture, so he constantly kept sending me links to wapanese and japanese places like 4chan, wakachan and 2ch

>>162 Yes. Not Denpa Otoko the book. Hmm.. i don't know if you have heard of that one.

>>165 Heh. Good to know I've set a bad example. :-p

>>169 Hahahahaha, there are many image boards around like the image boards here.
And there are two places discussion-style like this that i know of.
Sooo, Do you want me to post all the links in my bookmark folder for english places like these?

>>171 No. I posted anonymously, then non-foreigners here told me to use a name so they could identify me better. I guess it makes some people less worried if they can keep track of the silly foreigners invading their peace.

>>174 They do, and then they complain about not being able to identify you if you post anonymously.

>>181
I never told you to give yourself a name. i just said you could
if you wanted. before i just said identify yourself. i just
meant you country

>>180
No.169 is not my comment, but I want to know english places like 2ch.

>>172
Nihonjin wa jikka ni todomare!

Okay, I'm hoping I did that properly. :P

>>174
Every single time? *shrugs*


Heh. It occurs to me that I could have an entire conversation with myself here and
no one would be any wiser. [insert evil laugh]

Of course, I'm not really all that interesting so I'll probably get bored and try to
slip out while I'm not paying attention. Oh well. Such is life.

>>182
Too late. You are now cursed with our namesakes!

*waggles his fingers menacingly and whispers voodoo incantations*

>>182 Alright, my bad. I'll happily continue to post anonymously, after this, then.

>>183
www.4chan.org Blocked for japanese IP though because they are poor. The insanity level is high in this place. Can't say i mind.

www.iichan.net and www.wakachan.org part portal, mostly image board but also discussion.

http://4-ch.net/ dicussion only board.

http://abma.x-maru.org/images/ image board

http://www.0chan.net/ image board portal, with this and waka i'm not gonna count up more such.

http://wakaba.c3.cx/shii/shiichan a page about why 2ch type bbs is superior to registration forums.

>>185 Heh. You're fun ^___^

>>177
Actually, I come from 4-chan as well, though I haven't been around there long.

I'm more of a vBulletin (or whatever) kinda guy.

>>188 Ahh. I'm too much of a hit and run type of poster. which is why i like not having to log in, but at the same time i also miss the registrated forum type of system.
So i'm greedy and like both.

Hm.. I need to start hanging out at the UserFriendly and CommissionedComic forums again. Good places.

>>186
Thank you.
I thought I communicated in English with only Japanese people here.
It's interesting to communicate with non-Japanese people. It's nice.

>>190 No worries :-D I find it interesting to communicate with people regardless of their geographical location.
This has a nasty side-effect of one getting good friends on the other side of the globe, though.

There are some western online places that link to this board.
My guess is that about one to two dozen foreigners read this thread regularly.

Sometimes it's nice to have an identity, and sometimes it's nice not to have the
responsibility of maintaining it. (To be able disappear for a while and have no one
miss you.)

But it's easier to make friends when you know who you're talking to.

>>195 Heh, i visit /b/ less than seldomly for all the silly image macros. and the wallpapers section.
and then sometimes visit the other boards.

And agreed on the identity bit. and yeah, easier to make friends indeed. Friends are good to have :-D

>>196
/b/ tends to be a bit too weird (or, er, random) for me. I think you understand. ^__^;;


Hee. We've so invaded this thread.

You know how it goes. First gaijin take one thread -- then before you know it, all of
2ch belongs to gaijin! Gaijin are not to be trusted!

I think that being invaded is much better than reading nonesense sentences about Yukorin.
So feel free to chat about anything you want.

>>197 Hahaha... Of course, everyone knows gajins are actually the demons in disguise. Which is why they're so uncivilized. *nods* So, shall we start roasting the babies and making virgin sacrifices, now?
I call first dibs on the roasted chicken!

And /b/ is indeed heavy on the weirdness. But i've grown used to be able to cope with it.
If it is one thing /b/ does, it is to numb your soul when it comes to the disgusting things and the horror in the world. Visually, at least.
Torture cat spam posting was so annoying eventually nobody bothered to care about the poor cat.

hmm.. 200GET?

Yukorin's farts smell like vanilla scented vanilla in a vanilla flavoured cake with vanilla pudding inside and topped with vanilla icing.

(sorry, i just had to)

>>202
Hello. Do you love Yukorin too?

>>203 Yukorin is very cute. A pity i cannot have her. I'd love her and pet her and call her george.

>>199
Mmm. Baby. The other, other white meat. ^^

>__>

<__<

*searches for a stabbing implement for use on the Yurokin-gas fanboys* :P

>>204
＞and call her george.
No, please, don't. Sure enough, she appears on the TV commercial,
but she doesn't look like a girl nicknamed George.

I'd rather call her vanilla fart George.

http://www.starchild.co.jp/artist/ogura/discography.html

>>205
Heh. The extreme vanilla exaggeration was by me, sorry about that. I couldn't help but poke fun at the silly fanboys.

I still want to know why it is claimed that her fart smells like vanilla. Seems like a very silly and utterly pointless statement to me.

>>209
Hi, K-tan.
I wonder if you read Japanese. If you do, you can comfirm
there're documents online that read: Yukorin said her fart
smells like vanilla, blushing.

some random idiot

How old are you, k-chan?

>>212
My advice: read this thread carefully.

>>210 Sadly no, i do not speak Japanese yet. And ah, people in the english chat thread kept talking about her and her farts. which is why i wondered.


>>212 21

I don't have much time to go all the way back this thread.

>>206
'since we were watching Bugs Bunny at the time Dickens chose me as his mom,
we gave him the name George from the cartoon that was on: the Abomidable Snowman who finds Bugs, grabs him up and says "I will hug him and pet him and call him George."
So, George is his official first name.'

Twenty one is the legal drinking age in most of the states in America.
How is the situation in Sweden? How old do you have to be to drink alcoholic beverages?

Eighteen? That's lenient. In Japan it's twenty.

>>214
An interviewer asked Yukorin if she broke wind, which she answered
like "yes, i do, but my fart smells like vanilla".
So lots of her fans believe her fart is very aromatic.

What are you doing up this late? It's past two in the morning over there, isn't it?

Do you think Yukorin snores?

i think japan is emo

>>219 Ah, i thought it was 21, same as in USA.

>>220 Thanks for the info =)

>>221 Who what where?

>>223 I think emo is bosnian.

(yes that was a bad joke about 4chan wordfilters)

>>214
Some people make jokes saying, for example, cute idols never poop.
I'm not sure that such a statement sounds very funny when read in English.

>>226 Well, the blatant inaccuracy of that statement makes it amusing.

>>226
No matter how her fart statements sound to non-japanese,
it's true her fart smells of vanilla, and we are following her.
Yukorin is an angel who've never told any lie.

shit.. i opened a lot of sites in firefox and I can detect which one have stupid
music on the backround
orz

What it boils down to is that you wanto to smell Yukorin's fart
because it' so refleshing.

from chat conversation just now:
----------------------------------
B says: since Gackt sang "I am your vanilla" does that mean Yukorin's farts smell of Gackt?
B says: ...
B says: w00t, jpop celeb buttsechs!
B says: inform the tabloids!
k-tan says: o.o
k-tan says: o.o;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
B says: I bet he was thinking of Toshi </visual kei slash fangirl>

Yukorin is just different, she has very unique character, well, looks something like naive
I mean she is really a girl cute girl.
one of her popularity

Mizuno Yuko is a macho girl. Couldn't imagine from her cute face

Mono no aware?

>>223

Exactly.

>>236

Sorry. That was supposed to reply to >>235. orz

What is that? mono no aware

>>238

It is a difficult concept to explain. It dates from the Heian period IIRC.

>>239
I see. sounds interesting since I like Japanese hhistory.

You are NEETs

>>241
I guess NEET is you.

>>208
Yeah, I realised it was a joke... Although I was afraid that the thread would suddenly
end up becoming all about Yurokin. Although I'm sure her farts smell like Gackt and
her urine tastes like cinnamon, I'm just not into bodily waste. Besides, Yurokin isn't
that impressive. :P

>>243
Uhh... Have mercy on the gaijin!

>>241
>>242
Actually, I have no idea what's going on here, either... o__o;;

>>240
Japanese history? It's interesting. I have to admit I'm a more interested in China's
history though. Japan got it a bit easy by not being attached to the mainland.

Although... I read Eiji Yoshikawa's Musashi.
Best. Novel. Ever.

>>245 in the west we learn to little asia history :(
japanese history is interesting i think . Btw i look for japanese novels , maybe i check out Musashi

>>244
granted this board says that its in english, but you really shouldn't
complain about Japanese on a Japanese website.

>>246
It's definitely worth reading. It'll take a while though because it's pretty long (I got
it in one big book, but you'll probably find it divided into seven or so smaller chunks).

>>249

>>250
[smell Yukorin's fart]

>>244 I know. I just amusedly told my boyfriend about the meme, and that is what he said.
Yukorin is pretty, but can't really claim she's the only person, nor am i into idol worship.
And i know too many pretty girls IRL to care too much.

the foreingers seemed to have caused the Japanese to leave this
site. only the foreingers seemed to be posting

no, not because of foreigners. I post only if I'm in right mood for talking in english.
recently I am in not the right mood. that's all

>>238

"Mono no aware (Japanese: 物の哀れ; literally, "the pathos of things") is a Japanese term used
to describe the awareness of the impermanence of things, and a gentle sadness at their passing.
It was a coinage made by the Edo-period scholar Motoori Norinaga.
It was originally a idea from literary criticism. In his criticism on The Tale of Genji,
Motoori thought it being seen as the crucial emotion that moves readers but
Motoori claimed its scope is not limited to Japanese literature but affects the Japanese view
of the world in general.

The verb form of "aware" means "to commiserate" or "to pity."
The concept corresponds roughly to Virgil's lacrimae rerum."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_no_aware

I am Japanese too. I think there is nothing wrong with anyone chatting here
regardless of one's nationality as long as using English. All comments on Yukorin,
politics, culture or whatever are welcome.

>>245
In any case, Asian traditional histories are great.
Check it out the following..
Ryoma Sakamoto
Nobunaga Oda
Shingen Takeda
Shotoku taishi...

Japan is just great. Samurai spirit is really cool.

"samurai spirit" is largely over-exaggerated to the point of mythology.

>>255
Thank you for your kindness

>>258
It could be... but then anything turns into somethin rubbish with such idea, right?

samurai spirit is a nonsense

I agree. No doubt China is much geater country. LOL

Samurai &Yamato spirit banzai!
Moe & opppai oppai banzai!

unfortunatelly samurai spirit have already died out

A lot of black American were killed in new Orlinz.
I think nigros should go back to Africa, because
it is very safe for them.

>>265
foolish! it is not safe in Africa. There are civil wars all the
time and bandits and law is not upheld very well

>>253 You're forgetting some important factors.
There are many many boards on this site. The english boards being but a few.
So while the average Japanese poster looks at hundreds of boards, the foreigners maybe only look at a few, so they will post more often.
And that due to timezones, there are times when Japanese people will post most, and times when foreigners will post more because Japanese people are asleep.

>>265 Keep in mind that the vast majority of all the "niggers" did not come from Africa.
Their family or a part of their family came therefrom hundreds of years ago.
So they themselves have very little if anything in common with Africans, apart from the color on their skin.

only stupid foreigners believes in samurai spirit

yesterday I was at art exhibition. it was amazing and inspired me a lot

I am vipper. that means i am cool

yo nigga! got crack?

ride my Dodge Charger nigga

dont fuck with nigga! he will beat tha shit out of ya in 5 sec yo

>>265
Indeed. These aren't "black people"; they're Americans who happen to be black. It's
the echo of past racism and slavery that has left the black population of New Orleans
to bear the brunt of Hurricane Katrina. It was largely because they dominated the lower
classes of society.

It's hard to say how much can be blamed on today's racism. Whatever the racism issues,
a lot of blame can be placed on the US government for not providing for the poorer
people of New Orleans. They didn't have cars; they didn't have any money to rent
hotel-space for when they left. They were forsaken.

>>267
Although in Australia I'm only about 2-3 hours ahead of Japan, for everyone else
I'd guess this is basically true.

>>269
"The Way."

Hey, it might be more fiction than fact but that doesn't mean it isn't cool.

Europe had the "Knight's Code", and that's as much a myth. Hell, the extinct Greek
religion is now regarded mythology -- and it can be pretty awesome sometimes.

stop smooking tha weed nigga! and do smth productive

Still no updates on good mom/son porn?

why i am happy:
because I have a favourite thing to do.
why i am sad:
because my skills is not very amazing

>>283
Give it up!

>>280
Agreed.
Besides, it wasn't just black people who were affected by Hurricane
Katrina... plenty of trailer trash white folk were deserted, too.

blacks are more creative types then white people, i think. many white people tends
to like moralize, writing boring things, liking borings things, while blacks like
to create, and enjoyng life

What is a good way to become black? Post your ideas here.

On another thread, I set a trip code to identify myself as a foreigner
because someone asked me to, but then other people didn't believe
that I was a foreigner. -_- That thread was in Japanese, tho, so
maybe it's different in English...

Still, it was kinda sad...

I reccomend you call black people "dojin" as used to be.
And they should live in jungles.

>>287
Reincarnation.

>>288
dont be sad. maybe your japanese was so good, that they dont wanted to believe that
you're foreigner. many people on 2ch are jealous

>> 286

Maybe they are enjoying life too much, and not thinking about important things.
Africa is the biggest shithole continent on this earth. How many children die in Africa every day because of warring tribes and primitive way of life?

I was talked about afro-american people. I dont know about africa much...

>>289

In fact, when I was much younger, black people were called
dojin or chibikurosanbo.

some japanese people want to be black too much
you know what i mean

>>277
That site is fun to read. Thank you for introducing it I think most silly comments here
derive from the same mentality as Kancho. It's a bit surprising that Kancho is not popular
in foreign countries.

Yea,some Japanese women really like big dicks.

>>296

In foreign countries you will get shot or sued for doing kancho.Actually, you will only get shot or sued in America.
In Europe they are too busy with gay sex to do kancho.

ouch

My cock is houkei. My cock is short. and which is worse it can't erect long time.
And I am cherry!
Don't laugh!

>>300

Me,too!
How about doing 69 together to erect our johns?

Yes let's with pleasure!

Are you guys idiots?

BoA and Yukorin are same type of girl who I hate most.

but if yukorin got married to a comedian, you would kill him. because you are stupid nerd

So what? I just nemed me BoA. That's not even my name. I hate you most,名無しさん＠英語勉強中. you guys are so gay.

comedian are stupid job, but if you're famous your salary will be big

Ｅａｓｙ！

do you know movie called Gaichu ? it's from 2001. aoi miyazaki play lead role in
that movie. it's movie about school drop-out girl(aoi miyazaki)

compared to Aoi Miyazaki, boa and yukorin are just like rats in front of the Sun

I wanna watc a movie NANA she is appearing. But I have no money because I am aNEET

I dont give a shit. You are hella gay. that's so gross. I hate GAY.

>>312
Get a job if you want money.

Don't worry, Boa. I am not a gay. I am just a lolita-complexed man!

Shut the hell up,312. People call you faggot. Let's kick the gay out of here!

Ｃａｌｍ　ｄｏｗｎ！

ok

Ｓｕｃｋ　ｍｙ　ｃｏｃｋ！

Kiss my ass you idiot!

BoA, you can marry me and give me your virgin if you are young.

Hell no! I dont wanna fuck with gay

>>322
Don't let me repeat that I am not a gay! You are stupider doll!
Suck my cock!!!!!

Ｆｉｎｉｓｈｅｄ

Japanese famous comedian Hard Gay, also known as HG, is hot.

By the way, what do you think of the result of the latest erection?

Razor ramon is bad comedian, but your faces just like an-girls

>>326
Recently, my impetus of erection has weakened. In short, I am suffering
from erectile dysfunction

HIROMIX was great in 9X. do you agree with me? I love her photos

Everyone here is pits.

I hate Aru-aru expedition team

Adachi Yumi reported getting married to Itoda Jun.

>>328
are you 36years old warehouse guy?

studio ghibli founder, miyazaki have lolita complex too. so dont worry
its normal

36 years shouldn't be called a guy I bet.

I can use 2channel at work! yahoo!

so, nobody knows about a movie with aoi miyazaki called gaichu ?

By whom Yumi Adachi' virvinity was broken?

I once wanked Yumi adachi.

You should've said who broke Yumi Adachi's virginity?

I believe in Aoi is an angel!!

I only saw one movie with aoi! it was Eureka by aoyama shinji. an epic 4 hours
tale in sepia tone! but it's not movie for you, neets. it's won major award at
cannes film festival

daigaku wa deto keredo

Arthur mustn't broken her virgin. one of kinki must have done

black people dont think too much about crap, they just do what they want.
white people talks too much about shit and dont do anything!

I am a cherry boy...sigh

>>347

this thread is

ほんと、かすのふきだまりだな。

whats your favourite japanese music band?????????????

haha britney spears gived a birth to a boy yesterday

yeah, her boyfriend put his spear into britney spears vagina and new life born!

>>280
>>285
Wait. Are you two agreeing or disagreeing with each other? @__@

>>296
That's your arse! Fingers aren't meant to go in there unless you're feeling kinky or
something. In the western world, such an act is highly sexual -- there's very low
tolerance for such things.

I'm told that there are people who read hentai (by that I mean pornographic manga) on
the train. Such things are done much more privately around these parts!

>>345
Right. And you got these facts where?

I live in Melbourne. By coincidence, this happens to be one of the most multicultural
cities in the world. I went to school with Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, South
American, British, Maltese, Italian, Aboriginal, Greek, and god knows what else. There
are some differences between these groups because of differing cultural backgrounds.
BUT. Many of them are also first-, second- or third-generation Australians. There was
really nothing all that special about them. The colour of someone's skin is no more
significant than the colour of one's hair, eyes, or any other aesthetic detail. It's
just a lot more obvious.

That's my anti-racism statement for today.

>>352
I haven't liked a lot of Japanese music I've heard, but I've liked the Pillows for quite
a while now.

No wait. I like Yoko Kanno stuff too. And a few other anime-related things (probably
just because that's the stuff I hear).

>>355
are you on the Melbourne tourism board or something? Or does praising
Melbourne just get you hard or something?

And besides everybody knows that the levels of casual rascism in Austrialia
are only topped by those in S.Africa

>>355

>>280 was agreeing with the spirit of what >>275 was saying but
stating that >>275 doesn't really know what he/she is talking about
because he/she is obviously not an American and probably has not lived
in America for long enough time for his/her opinion to not seem as if
belonging to someone looking in from the outside.

And I think that >>285 was agreeing that he/she doesn't really know
what he/she is talking about. At least that's how it looks to me

Do you have a job Carbon Copy Man?

do you think that 2ch changed japanese media and society?

>>360
no, not really

>>357
I don't mean to be praising Melbourne so much. Initially, I did it on purpose, but now
I only mention it as a matter of consequence. Melbourne has its share of racism: our
asylum policies suck; Muslims are being prejudiced; and people often have
stereotypical/generalised views of certain racial groups. However, Melburnians in
general care more about which football team you barrack for. It's a sport-crazy city.

"Casual racism"? As in the use of the terms "wog" and such? As in racist jokes?
There's plenty of them floating around. There's also a fair amount of racism in general
going around, but Australian racism tends to be all rant and no action.

One problem is that Australia has a kind of cultural inferiority complex. It's only
been an independantly governed country for about 100 years. It doesn't have much
cultural identity, but a lot of Australians are anal about preserving what little it
has.

>>358
I may be an Australian, not an American -- but I chat with many Americans on a regular
basis. I understand American controversies not only through my own reading of the
local and foreign newspapers, news reports and other non-fiction, but also through
the eyes of my American peers.

>>359
Unemployed university student at the moment. I do some freelance work, but haven't
taken on any work recently.

>>355 Agreed.
By the way, do you use any IM services?

i hate otaku because they only think about their needs and fantasy, never think about society around them
does anyone else feel this way?

i dont hate them, I am think mostly about myself but I have a pity for them.
stupid freaks

by the way, if you want to make a society better, then start from yourself.
if you improve yourself you are improve small part of society

now many americans will say "i am otaku and i am so good" but when i meet otaku behavior on internet, i think to myself "do these people understand there is a world around them?"

I understand there is a world around me.

>>368 what world , a otaku live on the internet

>>368 of corse we do , i concider myself a geography otaku sometimes.

>>368 Otaku doesn't mean the same thing in the west as in what it does in Japan.
In America and Europe people who like anime and manga, instead of calling themselves fans of the style, they call themselves otaku.
Most western "otaku" are nothing in comparison to real anime otakus in Japan.

The whole world is about three drinks behind.
〔全世界は酒三杯分遅れている〕
-- Humphrey Bogart（ハンフリー・ボガード）

fans are the same as otakus. two different words, same meanings. you wont
call sci-fi geek otaku in america, but that does not mean he is freak.

"but that does not mean he is not freak. "
sorry

for me otaku is the person who is un-sociality, have few friends, or have a lot
of friends who're into the same hobby as him. i dont like that kind of people.

>>372

x otakus
o otaku

japanese words have no plural like that

>> Most western "otaku" are nothing in comparison to real anime otakus in Japan.
can you explain?

otaku want to spend time jerking off to drawings of girls
but if they do something to improve themself, they can meet real girl. that's why i think otaku are stupid

Definition of otaku on the web:

ttp://www.google.com/search?q=define:otaku&hl=ja&lr=&rls=DVXA,DVXA:2005-17,DVXA:ja&defl=all

i dont care how you call it
otaku or something
if your main hobby is watching cartoons it's just silly

"Are you an otaku?"
「お宅はオタクですか？」

--Beautiful!

hey, urban predator are you from tokyo?

i wonder how does otaku mother feel when she think of her children
in secret she feel like she is failure, but otaku don't care about that
they only care for jerking off and buying things

>>383
I'm afraid but I don't remember it well because I was too little when I was born.
How about you?

I am asking this because I seen "suburban-hell" in your email field! what that
mean? who kind of place is suburban hell?

I'm gonna sleep because it's midnight in Japan Where do you live?

>>400
I live on the east coast of the US.

I think you can omit 'as' in that sentence because it's a simple statement of a fact.
Will this make you laught again?

>>401
So are you ok after Hurricane Katrina ?

>>403

Thankfully the hurricane didn't touch this part of the country. I live closer to Canada than the Gulf of Mexico, we never get any hurricanes here.

>>404
I'm glad to hear that.
By the way, I had curried rice and potsticker at dinner.

Are there any American comic books being publihed inside Japan?

I am also wondering, do the Japanese read comic books by Western authors like Alan Moore. His work is like literature, it has a quality that transcends the limitations of the medium he works in.

I am a student pilot in America. I have some european friends on the internet, and in
Europe, private aircraft are very expensive due to government regulation. They have to
pay fees to take off or land at any airport, pay more fees for talking to air traffic
controllers, pay even more fees for flying over certain cities, and so on. It's a very
big mess. Here in America, if you have access to an airplane and the skill to fly it,
you can go almost anywhere and only pay for the fuel you burn. It is actually cheaper
for me to fly an airplane on long trips than to drive, because the airplane uses much
less fuel per mile than a car does. It also goes almost twice as fast. How common are
personal airplanes in Japan? Is it like europe? I would imagine that since Japan has
multiple islands, airplanes would be very popular as a means to get from one island
to another.

I also hate the sheltered existence of otaku, but the anime "Monster" is so so good.

i don't think Japan got many airplanes, because it got LOTS of trains.

I just a Russian dished called plov, it's basically beef and rice with a few extra ingredients. Now I'm eating a piece of cheesecake. After a meal like this I should probably go outside and run a little.

i ate noodles with kikkoman yesterday

>>412

you probably eating kosherman, and your mind think of kikkoman.

>>413
no , kikkoman ftw

I don't think Britney is prettier than Yukorin.

How does Britney's fart smell?

>>416
Very stinky like rotten fish, I guess.

>>414

what is ftw, fuck the world?

>>417
No, i don't think so.
She's very cute and it's believed a cute girl never poops.
If she does once in a blue moon, hers must smell very aromatic.

>>363
I would say that you're still not really going to be able to know what
your talking about. Getting infor from your peers is still getting it
from a secondary source and can as limiting, if not more, than a newspaper
or non-fiction book.

basically that earlier statment came across someone stating "facts" about
American life when it was really just opinoin based on what they've seen or
read or heard rather than lived. Its fine to have opinions and to form
them based on whatever you wish, just don't try to pass it off as facts or
based on your own experiences when you don't have any.

>>419
You moron. I said Yukorin's cuter than your Britney, which means
your cute girl's fart is more stinky, not aromatic.

>>419
she is not so cute. she just has a good make up artist and is
often posing for cameras. her real face is quite plain and sometimes
her skins looks very bad

>>418
You need to take pleasure out of guessing work, idiot.

>>422
How in the world did you know what her face looked before making up?
It's all your imaginary story, isn't it?

>>422
I'll say. Yukorin looks better.

>>422
What? Britney's skin must be fine.

Britney gave birth to a baby. So she's not appealing to singles,
is she? Why so stick to her?

>>427

Because they are stupid, they the kind who will marry woman with a child. They are pathetic.

>>424>>426
there are many pictures in American tabloids. probably on the
internet as well. It shows that she is quite plain without much
make up

>>409 Hmm.. Monster, i've only seen the first 8 episodes of that series. I should watch more, it seems good.
But i'm so busy nowadays =( I have so many series i would like to watch, but due to school and friends, i have no time. That is sad.

>>423

your mother vagina is so very dry, when i insert the cock inside it was like a corpse.
truly scary experience.

>>429
I suppose you loved Britney so much that you checked out such stuff.
But as you know, she get married to someone, not you. That's why
you've been mad at her: why did she not marry me? She betrayed me!
It's completely silly, though.

And thats why he is fanatic for her.
Something you cant reach is apt to be more fascinating than as it is.

I liked this thread better when people were fighting over japanese idols and not Britney Spears -_-;;;

I'm so sick of Yukorin. After I came on 2ch the word Yukorin make me physically ill.

C'mon people! What happened with Yukorin and Kaeda or whatever her name was and all the rest?

>>435 Alright, let's find something new for the fanboys to fight over, then?

>>434
Isn't it amusing to see Japanese idols vs American idols?

>>432
Actually no I hate her. That is why I was happy to see such pictures
because they show the truth that Britney is not so wonderful as
stupid fanboys think.

So fuck you

there are no idols in America. only fake celebrities and
pop-singers

>>436
Britney and Yukorin are both cute. On the other hand, Kaela
is not. I admit she's a good singer, though.

Almost all of American males are in love with Britney like you all
love Yukorin. So Yukorin are Japanese version of Britney in a way.

>>440
Britney is not fake.

>>442
But someone said Yukorin's skin is finer than Britney.
What's your opinion on this?

>>439
Do you want us to read between the lines?
We think you're jelous.

>>440
Seemingly, Americans love to smell idols' fart more than Japanese
does. Am I wrong?

For the bloke who keeps asking for mother/son porn:

http://sexylosers.com/233.html
and
http://sexylosers.com/201.html
and
http://sexylosers.com/228.html

:-p

Fishy.
Never ever post dubious links, filthy maggot.

Japanese people barely know about Eropian Idols. They only have
good knowledge on Hollywood stars.

>>440
No idols, no peaceful mind.

>>449
True.

>>408
It is true that Japan has multiple islands, but its big islands such as Hokkaido, Kyushu and
Shikoku are all connected with bridges or undersea tunnels to the mainland of Honshu. So
you can go almost anywhere in Japan by car or train. As for other small islands such as
Okinawa and Sadogashima, people usually use a ship or an airplane as public transportation.
Although I am not familiar with government regulation, unfortunately, personal planes are
not cheaper than other ones as a means of transportation. Actually, people owning personal
planes are rare and recognized as extremely affluent.

>>448 Sexy Losers is a collection of joke comic strips with a twisted sense of humour. Fun stuff.

>>453 Yes, Sexy Losers is a very funny webcomic. One of my favorites to read.
I believe the author is a resident of Japan, and he himself has written negatively of otaku.

In a nutshell, we love Yukorin and Britney, but not Kaela.
OK?

>>406
>>407
There seem to be some American comics translated into Japanese though
I personally haven't seen those in book stores.

Here is links to the publishers
http://www.jive-ltd.co.jp/americancomics/index.html

American comics are being discussed in Japanese on 2ch.

im da bomb

>>457 I will cum on my fist and punch you in the face.

>>452
Thanks. I was curious ^_^ That's how it seems to be pretty much everywhere outside of the
USA, flying is for rich people. It's a real shame, because having an airplane to yourself
is a freedom unlike any other I've found my entire life.

I need a girlfriend. please be my lover if you were a girl. please, please.

>>460
I need a girlfriend; if you are a girl, please be my lover. Please. Please.

Maybe once your English improved you will have many new lovers.

I don't need the correction of my stupid sentence! I need a lover urgently!!

You will only find male lovers here. Aren't there any single females where you live?

There is a few single females im my neighbour, but they are so ugly.

Maybe you should take what you can get, or go to a different area. Still, I would probably do the ugly girls if I was so desperate.

You can't know my bitterest life, you are laughing my tragedy!

I would never laugh at you.

What makes girls hate me? my looks?

No matter how ugly you are, you can still find a girlfriend.
You just have to build a natural charisma,and girls will fall for you.
Maybe you're too nervous around girls, calm down a little.

you should start being an otaku! you will never ever find a girl for you
so escape in the fictional world of games & cartoons

this sound unbelievable but many of the otaku people attracted to drawn girls!
and what even more crazy, they think that only drawn girls are beautiful and
real girls are ugly!
god, what a mess in their heads

I feel bad for otaku, I wonder how they're able to live with such a warped perception of reality.

>>470 don't make other people around you a loser like yourself.

>>473
I am not loser. I am that guy from waseda. an university you will never be able to enter.
www

i love nerds!

>>475 otaku are not nerds.
nerds do creative things, and they are smart.
otaku consume and consume, and become obsessed over inanimate objects.
truly, scary people.

>>474 If you are from Waseda you would be studying. You are NEET, go back to having sex fantasy with your drawings, and leave us alone.

i still have two weeks of vacation. and learning in waseda is not that hard for
a smart guys like me. this exams are hard, though

>>478
Use your final days of vacation to prepare for school, or have a small party and socialize a little.
Pull your hand from your pants, and do something human.

what? for the last ten days I posted like 10 messages here www

ぬるぽ

you are a bad liar

>>480
For lying like this, you will now lose 50% of your sperm.
Lie like this again and you will 50% more of your sperm, till your penis becomes permanenetly soft,flaccid, and useless.

hey look, it's almost 2.000.000.000 hits!

hallo?

Which do you like best, Yukorin or Britney?

Yukorin sure represents Japanese idols. She is an epitomy of cuteness.
To Britney maniacs, I'm sorry to say, she was married and had a baby.
So I strongly recommend giving her up.

anyone here play videogames?

no

why? videogames are fun

I like GTA but others

What's GTA, anyway?

Grtand Theft Auto

Grand

i like final fantasy VII

Well, eh, i can't imagine what the game is like, though.

you dont know about final fantasy VII?????

you dont know about GTA????

it means stealing car

test

I played GTA1 in 1998, haha I am such oldschool

i never played games since super famicom

>>500
Is it an action game?

I played quake II a lot on the NET in 1998-2000. when I thinking about it
i feel nostalgic

If Yukorin appears in a adventure TV game, do you want it?

no i dont care about yukorin! by the way i think that NET games is great waste of
time

>>506
Yes, MMORPG takes huge time to play. So I avoid it.

>>364
Yeah. I use MSN and AOL mostly, but the MSN network's broken at the moment. Email me
and I'll give you the contact. (Put something obvious in the subject header, because
I'll have to spot it in my junkmail folder I'm not about to post a non-spammy account
on an open forum like this where it'll get picked up by crawlers. :P )

I do use other IMs sometimes, but I never really have a need to, so I don't.

I'm paranoid like that.

Anyway, email "evarobby" at hotmail.

>>506
Then who do you care about? Kimura Kaela? Britney Spear?

I care only about girls around me

I am a lawyer

>>471
But drawn girls are so SEXY! If only it were somehow possible to have drawn girls in
the real world like in that Roger Rabbit movie or something. :P

On a more serious note, the attractiveness of a drawn character is usually a lot less
subjective -- and almost most anime characters is drawn to be somewhat attractive. At
the very least they're made to look hella cool.

>>497
I preferred Final Fantasy VIII. Final Fantasy VII was boring after the first disk. The
story just went screwy after you left Midgar. Final Fantasy VIII wasn't perfect either,
but at least it had a beginning, middle and end. Whatever people say about the story,
most of the people who like Final Fantasy VII like it because they like chocobo racing.

>>504
Quake & Quake II rocked. For a while I was practically invincible at those two. But
then school invaded my precious gaming time. Curses!

That reminds me. Isn't it true that poor Japanese students don't get school
holidays -- you only get pretend holidays?

As in: You're on holidays but you still go to school every day?

>>511
Only in your dream, sweet baby.

real lawyer dont have a time to post on shitty english board

>>512
that's crazy... I can't think what so cool about drawn characters..
real people are much much more interestings

>>515
I was kidding for the most part. I prefer real people too, but animation can be so damn
fun.

The acting tends to be better and the designs tend to be cooler (or outlandish at least).

i did not study english at all

Because you're a native speaker?

you're war criminal
why dont you surrend to the gov.?

>>518
because I am lazy.

>>520
Just because your name is Raiji, it means you're lazy.

I am raijin!
Actually, I tried to read some english books but it was so boring so I stopped
doing that.

I drink about 7 big glasses of water everyday. it's great for health

>>512
Why do you think foreign people don't make animation characters lile those of Japanese?
They admire enthusiastically animation and comics in Japan, but they don't seem to try
to create such things.

my cat is the one of the most prettiest creatures in the world

did you just tried to fcuk your pretty cat? his ass must be hurt

I like TETRIS. The creator who made this vedeogame is genius.

I mean videogame.

after final fantasy VII I never ever be able to find another great RPG for me.
final fantasy VII struck on me too hard...

Final Fantasy VII is the best game ever. You cannot disagree!

Are you paying the premium of the public pension?

>>530
I dont know, but I played FFVII in 1997 when I was a kid, and maybe I just grown-up
a little...

>>527
>>530
I choose to disagree with the both of you. :P

Especially Tetris.

And chocobo racing sucks. It's one of those rare games that you can play with just
your toes. Except without the eye candy and fancy prizes of Dead or Alive: Extreme
Beach Volleyball.

Although I have to admit it can be pretty amusing to play a game with your toes.

I am godzilla nad you are tokyo!

>>533
I find you to be a right chief

I am looking for gay clubs in tokyo

>>536
just go to ni-chome. that place is full of gay clubs

Still looking for good mom/son porn!

『夏から秋に向けて、夜を美しく撮る』

>>538
nobody cares

download a programm called emule and search for "incest"

>>420
Do you believe that the only way to learn anything is to experience it first hand?

I don't base my opinions on heresay. I research all my facts from reliable sources, and
I suggest everyone do the same.

But American peers are able to raise American issues and offer American an
perspective -- which helps to balance against what I naturally see on Australian TV.
When it came to Hurricane Katrina, 50% of the articles I read were American -- the
others tended to involve foreign reporters on the scene -- or would reference
American articles (which I'd then look through).

>>535
"Right chief"? I guess I'll take that as a compliment. ^__^

(I have to admit I don't completely understand your meaning.)

>>541
Too much fakes to sort through.
I want to know about some good Japanese movies.

if will never be able to find what you want, only if you work hard

>>542
Not always. But in this case, which to me actually had less to
do with hurricane and more to do with statements you made that
sounded as if you were some authority on life in america, which
were connected to something you were saying about the hurricane
or something or other.

basically no matter what you read and how many american internet
folk tell you stuff you're never going to be able to get away
with being sophomoric on america life.

>>542
you shouldn't.

its terminology of your former imperial oppressors

damn, wasting my life on 2channel is not fun. actually it's sad.
bitter-sweet life. degeneracy

Carbon Copy Man is sound like the nerd i think

Yeah, right.

yeah right what?

i noticed that

2ch always gets the nerd foreigners I think. why does the nerd
foreigner have the interest of japan?

because japanimation is very popular in the world

does nerd foreigner think Japan is similar to anime?
do they understand japan through anime?

Too much food is wasted on television. Japan is shameful for it

How i should know lol

samurai movies are for nerds

>>556
because you are similar to foreigner nerd

>>558
why? You dont even know what messages I posted(it's not that I care what do you
think)

>>559
I actually don't believe so I just typed it because of boredom

yeah, i knowed that

Sorry to be so doom 'n gloom, but I feel like I need to warn you guys...
but do you know about The upcoming collapse of the global economy?

No.

sure do.
im ready for the revolution though

I bought awesome vinyl player and a lot of lps! I hope it'll helps the
global economy

Good for you.

it won't.
only having guns will

we need to live crazy before the WWIII and global economy collapse!

yes we do. lets go get lots of cocaine.
and them some LSD or magic mushrooms.
then rent cars and drive them into swimming pools.

and pick up women who are wild

cocaine is expensive as hell. dont forget 100$ bill to blow up your nose!
and do it somewhere high at luxury hotel

it is expensive to live crazy. but what does it matter because
the future will be collasped

Moss in cocaine photo furore
10:00 AEST Fri Sep 16 2005
National Nine News
By ninemsn staff writers

Shocking pictures of supermodel Kate Moss snorting cocaine have been
splashed across the front page of British tabloid newspaper the Daily Mirror.

>>524 Heh.. You haven't been paying attention.
Many non-japanese people have started making tv cartoons and comics in the stereotype manga/anime style.

i don't think its shocking that supermodels do cocaine.

it is especially not shocking that kate moss did or still does
cocaine

Puffy have a cartoon about them in America. Puffy don't do the
voices for the characters because they can't speak english
well

>>576 Argh, tabloid newspapers. Kill! >_____<
We hates them, we hates them good, yes my precioussss...

>>579 Puffy? Puffy who?
The Powerpuff Girls? Those are american characters, created by people employed by Cartoon Network.
If another Puffy, then please to enlighten me, i am curious ^__^

Puffy the Jpop duo. Ami and Yumi...

poop

cocaine + supermodels is essential

>>582
Ahh.. awesome :-D

the cartoon Teen Titans is drawn and styled like anime.

and the old American comics Usagi Yojimbo and Kabuki stole manga
style. So did the american comic Ninja High School.

>>580
I think they're not lying today

>>584 For a while, the "Heroine Chic" look was popular in fashion. Stupid people.

>>583 Poopy? http://www.gucomics.com/comics/gu_20050415.jpg

>>586 That is far from all. And usagi yojimbo is anerican? o.O i thought it was japanese. but then again i have never read it, just seen some images.

yup it is written and drawn by an american

Teen Titans is actually pretty good... Though it gets a bit boring if you watch a few
episodes (the story doesn't always make sense and it's too episodic).

The theme song is super-addictive.

>>546
Really? I would have hoped somebody would have told me if I'd been oppressed all this
time. I mean I'd expect them to at least have the dignity to scream, "Thousand-times
imperial oppression cannon!" or something.

>>548
*ahem*

This is the Internet. Most people are nerds here. Anyone who says otherwise is
in denial of their own nerdiness. Anyone who says, "I play action games and not RPGs
so I'm not a geek," is in denial of their own nerdiness. Anyone who spends all day
sending messages via SMS and playing games on their mobile phone is probably in
denial of their own nerdiness.

I'm geeky in some ways, but if you think I'm a fat, balding middle-aged otaku with
thick glasses you might be disappointed. :P

talks about animation make me sleepy

>>591
hey, I am sorry but today is not 1995. the whole world use internet
and if your internet activity is online games, downloads and talks about
anime it's your own troubles

>>592 Lack of sleep makes me sleepy. =( Sad.

>>593
Simple question then: What makes you not a nerd?

proper sleep is important, otherwise there will be trouble with your face look

>>595
I can understand how do you feel. you watch animation, you play video games
you met your friends by the same interests(animation&v.g.)
you live in your absorbed world of nerdness.
but it's only you

>>591
I don't think you could disapoint. i already don't expect much
from you

Carbon Copy Man is definately the nerd.

i said this in thread earlier: otaku are not nerds, nerds understand computer well, they are smart and creative.
otaku, what do they do? they consume, consume, consume, and obsess for inanimate objects

>>591
if said "former" imperial oppressors, so you weren't affected.
I think it he or she was trying to find a clever way to say that
it is British slang.

>>600
nerds are not always creative and do not have to understand computers
to be nerds.

>>599
I think you are wrong Carbon Copy Man is more of a geek than
a nerd it seems

then what do you call those smart ones that have great understanding for computers?
still, otaku they are scary people. they are those that are on the bottom of society, and i believe the word "nerd" doesn't fit for them

>>604
computer experts?

>>604
don't many otaku have great understanding of computers as well
as draw their own manga as well as consume too many games, comics
figures etc.?

Mochida Kaori is surely cuter than Yukorin

>>606
there is difference in those that are creating manga, and those that consume.
the manga creators, are sometime great artist that have been trained in art.they have a talent.
you will see that they are also concerned for their outer appearance, and some of them are female.
otaku are male who do not care for their outer appearance, they spend their free time buying things, and looking at drawing porn.
they base their life around cartoon and forget that there is a world outside

I love geeks, nerds, dorks etc..Always find yourself falling for the guy/gal with glasses, mussed-up hair, pocket protectors, and an endless knowledge of computers?

Good...I'm not alone...

>>608
What about amateur manga artists who create manga but are not
paid and have not been trained? They are otaku but they also create
their own works.
I do not think that many male manga artists care for their apperance.
I have seen female manga artists who do not care for their appearance.

u know..just drop it

>>611
why should they drop it?

>>609
you might be alone. I don't really know you

>>610
you do not understand the word otaku. i like manga, many my coworkers like manga. are we all otaku? probably not.
those that have talent and ambition,and utilise it for making manga cannot be called otaku
otaku are those that consume the things others create, and become so obsessed for it that they lose social life.

maybe she is not really pretty girl, and only nerdysh guys can love her.
or maybe she dont have confidence in herself to date "cool" guys
who knows..

hah?

>>614
But I think that these people who seem to just consume also sometimes
create their own things even if they don't sell them or share them.
can you still call them otaku?

there is different kind of manga, there is manga that everyone reads. like action manga or classic manga of tezuka osamu, who is a national hero in japan
and there is perverted manga. manga that depicts depravity.
otaku have a fantasy to images of high school girls. but when they go to high school, they are usually isolate themself from other people.

i really am speechless...lol

>>598
You're misunderstanding, but I don't really care. I'm fat, I'm bald, I'm ugly, and I
like chocolate ice cream cake. I live in the Bat Cave with my eccentric Viking friend
and I spend my my free time pillaging the under-defended cities of Europe. I also enjoy
long walks on the beach, and on some occasions I find it quite enjoyable to mess with
people's heads.

>>599
>>600
>>602
>>603
I'm still trying to work out what your point is. Yes, I know about computers -- and?
Are you having computer troubles you need fixed or is this discussion as pointless as
it seems?

>>604
Admittedly, I have to agree that otaku are awfully bizarre and creepy, but it's
a largely a Japanese phenomenon and you have to wonder about the factors involved in
creating them.

That said, I'm a slight Evangelion-otaku. But that's okay because Evangelion rocks.

>>618
why do you assume that an otaku can only create perverted manga?

And is the perverted manga that is sold everywhere made by otaku?

>>620
I don't think you are capable of messing with people's heads

"but thats okay because Evangelion rocks"

hypocritical and stupid, plus no one asked you to justify yourself

>>622
Don't make me use my nerd-powers.

>>621
only otaku would be so deprived. because otaku are so interested in pornographic image and they mostly don't communicate with other people,
they begin thinking of the most disturbing and perverted things.
perverted manga is not sold everywhere, manga with sexual humor is sold many places. but many people enjoy those things, it's like enjoying the movie "40 year old virgin"

>>620
so what the difference between japanese otaku and non-japanese otaku?
dont non-japanese otakus spend a lot of money or time on animation and videogames?
I remember, you wrote about how drawn girls are hot. isnt it a typical japanese
otaku attitude?

>>623
A couple words to add to your English vocabulary:
Irony.
Sarcasm.

:P

>>624
that's it...?

>>626
Extreme "otaku" are the kinds of people who lock themselves in their bedroom and don't
come out except for the bare necessities for ten or so years.

>>629
that's hermits, not otakus. most of the otakus are not afraid of going out. they
like crowded places like their fun meetings.

>>627
he/she may have not know what they mean but you certainly don't
use either very well.

omannta~

I mean "fan" meetings

>>627
Sure you were being ironic. Just keep telling yourself that

>>609 My boyfriend is a male meganekko. *squeals* ^__________________^ Blushing, shy virgins are cute!

>>635 please shut up, and get the fuck out of here

>>636 I don't know, it's getting rather boring with the whole otaku discussion. At this point random weird posters at least lessen the heavy seriousity here.

saeko is surely cuter than yukorin

>>630
Well, it's the perception I got, anyway. "Otaku" means "home" after all -- my general
idea of it was that it had a lot to do with the antisocial/obsessive behaviour. But
it's not a topic I'm particularly knowledgable about.

>>634
Yep. I'm obese. I spend all my time in my bedroom, but I swear it's not on purpose.
I just can't fit through the door!

The anime/manga Genshiken is a depiction of Japanese otaku. In Genshiken the otaku were really interested in pornogrpahic doujinshi more than anything else.

I think that's the difference between American and Japanese otaku - American otaku aren't fixated on erotic manga/games/etc. Of course the reason for that is probably because we aren't exposed to doujin soft games and erotic doujinshi.

>>639
there is an operation call a gastric bypass that would be
helpful for you

>>640
so based off of one manga/anime you understand how every single
otaku acts and thinks?

i wish it were winter already. i enjoy cold weather for some
reason

>>642 Did I say that I understand how every single otaku thinks? I simply stated that my impression is that Japanese otaku are more interested in erotic manga and games, and American otaku aren't.
Another obvious difference is that American otaku are more outgoing and social, for example, when I browse anime at a place like Best Buy (large electronics store) a worker usually come up to me and enthusiastically expresses his interest for anime.

>>644
what store employee in any store in Japan will go up to a customer
and ethusiasically talk about anything?

>>644
just like in akihabara www

Kamille Bidan, Zeta Gundam let's do this thing!

ok if you insist

>>645
Right, it's a fundamental difference in national character. Americans are generally more outgoing, and conservative when it comes to sexuality. Japanese are generally more reserved, and liberal when it comes to sexuality.

>>649
Probably just how employees are trained in Japan really

of course, people sometimes hate each other because of simple misunderstandings.

To me, it seems, as if the fundamental difference between the people who the label otaku is applied to in Japan,
and the ones who apply the label to themselves in the rest of the world, is that
a) appart from that outside of Japan "otaku" refers to anime fans only,
while as to my impression is that inside of Japan "otaku" refers to the nerdiest of the nerdy.
b) for an otaku, their live revolve around whatever they otaku over,
while as the anime fans (outside of Japan,
the ones who call themselves "otaku" to denote that they like the style of anime/manga)
merely have it as one of their big interests/hobbies.

Also, japanese otaku do indeed also seem to be more prone to focus their
sexuality on fictive characters and consume a lot of anime/manga-based porn,
and dislike spending time with people who are not otaku.


This however, is merely my impression as a foreigner.
These impressions i have gotten through my friends who study japanese language and culture
(some of which have visited japan, others whom live in Japan),
a few animes and series (also including such as Genshiken and Densha Otoko)
- and interacting with many foreigners who claim to be otaku, when in comparison to
what i know of japanese otaku they are nothing.

Japanese otaku is what i would call "really dorky nerds".
The problem being that lately during the past few years, the labels "geek", "nerd" and "dork"
have changed their meaning.
"Geek" nowadays often is a very positive word, while as "nerd" is offensive.
However, at some places, it is exactly the opposite way.
Depends on where you go.

I am used to "geek" meaning "a person who is highly skilled in a field he or she likes,
and very likely works within that field".
Which means that a very good car mechanic can be a geek,
and so can a computer programmer.

My point is, that what labels mean are not written in stone.
Words change, words can be used for many different things,
of which is some may have nothing in common with eachother.
Words change their meaning. Once "gay" ment "happy", now that means "homosexual".
"Otaku" means one thing in Japan, and something else outside of Japan.

Things get bastardized that way.
Languages are constantly evolving and changing creatures.

and you wrote all that large text just to comfort yourself
"Look! japanese guys, I am watching anime for 24/7 all of my friends are into anime,
we are going to the anime-meetings together, but hey, I am not like japanese scary otaku!
even I am never been to japan and akiba, never met any otaku I can say so, just
because I seen few animes about japanese otakus"

I think the picture of Japanese otaku that has been painted is too harsh. Japanese otaku go outside, and have social circles, they have anime gatherings like foreigners.
They are not scary hiding in dark corner jerking off all day long. There are people like that, but people like that are everywhere in all different hobby.

ニュートーキョースタンダード

1) Otaku are people who have a primary interest in anime-based art. Some people like politics, some people like bird watching. They like anime.
2) Those otaku who devolve into stuttering perverts that would rather sleep with hug pillows than women were pieces of shit to begin with.

Now let's please drop this subject, because it's already been covered dozens of times in this thread alone.

TOKYO SUBURBIA is better, i think

no, otakus are geeks who dont know how to communicate with humans, so they are limitins
themself to special hobby like anime and socialize by anime interest.
I doubt that in USA star-treks geeks have any respect. same for otakus

>>659
Excuse me, people limit themselves to their hobbies all the time. Bodybuilders socialize with other bodybuilders, political experts socialize with other political experts.
Why are otaku so special? I know why, because 15 years ago, there was a child rapist/murder Miyazaki that turned out to be an otaku. And Japanese public said "If he is otaku, than all otaku must be like him."
Guess what? They were wrong.

>>660
most of the profession people sick of their work, and people at their work.
I met people by only one criteria: their personality.
it's something that otaku doos not understand.

>>660
I bet you're one of those dudes, who're always sit alone at class, dont know
people at class, dont go out and spent a lot of time online.

most people have have too-generalized-image of otaku.
speaking of myself, i'm kind of english otaku.
and it is also true of other japanese who post here.

what's wrong about people who have passion and doing work eagerly
like researchers?
In a sense they're some kinds otaku who devote themself in finding the truth.

if not for otaku japanese economy would lose a few billion dollars

>>664
nothing, scientist are great people who doing very hard job for progress' sake.

i think that japanese people, the characters of the japanese have to do with otaku culture.
Japanese tend to be a maniac if they find something they like.

>>654 Heh. I've never been to a con. At all. That includes any kind of con.
I haven't watched a single anime episode for more than a month.
Most of my friends are not into anime, quite few bother to watch them, actually.
I'm too busy with school to have time with watching anime.
Compare that to a kid who has candy once a month and drools when he walks by a candy store.

>>666
not only scientists, there are people devoted entirely to historical research, or the study of social science like philosophy.

>>666
I'm a student and belong to a laboratory.
most researchers are what we call nerd or dork.
if they were not in that social position like professr,
people would look down on them.

Having hobbies are great. Having dreams are wonderfull.

>>671
yeah, but as long as they look normal, not nerds.

('A`) I hope this topic doesn't come up in Chat in English (英語で雑談) Part 24

what kind of topic do you prefer?
Yukorin thing?

>>674
I don't know, let's discuss our favorite beverage to drink. I used to drink coffee a lot, but now I can't drink it at all.
Does this mean my blood pressure has risen?

The book is over 2 inches thick and weighs almost 3 kg. If you're not careful, you
can easily damage or rip the binding holding the heavy pages.

>>675
what do you mean by can't drink?
you no longer feel like drinking coffe?
how old are you?

The photographs are of excellent quality technically, but visually there is nothing
extraordinary.
They only seem to convey the bland, impersonal, and
dehumanizing feelings of suburban life.

>>678
It's not like I don't feel like drinking coffee, it's like I can't. It makes me disgusted.
I'm 22.

Question: Why is it always "Japan vs The World"? -_-;;;

Can't we all just get along?

you mean this place?

名前：名無しさん＠英語勉強中 ：2005/09/17(土) 01:15:15

>>680
22! you're young. and saying that your blood pressure is high.
i just can't believe it. Are you a kind of overweight person?
Sorry, i asked too much of personal questions.

684 名前：名無しさん＠英語勉強中 ：2005/09/17(土) 01:18:06

>>681
no,no! dont get it wrong. it's just fun to talk with geek-in-denying his own geekness
by saying that there is always worse kind of people.

>>681
because people in japan especially in tokyo believe that the world is revolving around them.

Her first claim to fame was through a photo contest called the "11th New Cosmos of Photography
(Shashin Shin-seiki, sponsored by Canon) in March 1995. Her entry was a small
36-page photo book made of color copies of regular prints. The title was Seventeen
Girl Days (also called "School Days"). It was a photo diary compiled into an
album-like booklet which was not an unusual technique.

>>687
ha ha ha. tokyo is the best place. if you're living in middle of nowhere
it's just sad, dont be jealous.

However, her photos gave a light-hearted, fast-paced, and original look at this
17-year-old high school senior girl. It was a glimpse into the girl's everyday
scenes and ordinary icons: a pet cat, a record, poster, flowers, friends, and
self portraits. All the good, random moments of her current life.

middle of nowhere is proabably quieter and has more space, i rather be there

>>686 There are always worse people, the same way there is always better people. No matter who you are, you almost never is the best or the worst one in a society, because the bell curve says so.

tokyo is the best.
why?
do you ever asked yourself why tokyo people dont have any regrets about
living in the one of the most modern city in the world, while people from
middle of nowhere are always talking about "stupid" tokyo people?

living in tokyo is very expensive. trains are very crowded.

i wonder if yukorin ever take train in tokyo

but living in the big city is great. but probably some people dont like it, and
prefer quiet life in middle of nowhere. nothing wrong, though

one of the advantages of living in a big city is everything is so close.
and you don't have to have a car.

>>696
I live in New York City, and I would rather be somewhere quieter. But one of my problems is that there are too many immigrants here: Mexicans, Pakistani, etc.
They all have SO MANY childrend and they are so loud, noisy, and dirty. I suppose this isn't a problem in Tokyo.

there are many asians in japan

korean chinese philipina brazil...

>>698
Japan doesn't accept so many immigrants.
in the future it might change, but it will take a long time.

I actually bought a washing machine for my already small apartment because I wanted to avoid going to the laudromat.
The laundromat is completely occupied by Mexicans, and it's not like they do laundry and go home.
They bring their whole family to the laundromat like a picnic. Their dirty children are running around everywhere eating things off the floor.
It's total chaos.

crime that committed by foreginers are increasing especially by chinese (over 50% every year)
This is the problem.

japanese people in general have a negative prejudice agaisnt chinese.
and the negative image is growing bigger and bigger because of the high crime rate.

i don't blame the chinese for running away from their shitty country

this is a kind of political problems, but i don't like the chinese government.
they interfere with japanese politics too much.
Whether the prime minister visits the Yasukuni shrine or not is none of their business.

Yea actually china doesnt care about Yasukuni at all.
If so, then why it havent insisted of the problem by now?

Good morning.

I am into BDSM

hey, since someone, sometime ago mention a movie called gaichu I want to tell you
about a movie Sasayaki. it's about strange relationship between two 17 years old
school kids.
this movie was released in america too
this is what writed on american dvd cover:
HE WANTS TO BE HER DOG
SHE WANTS TO SEE HIM CRY
LOVE HURTS

we're all lonely middle aged gays, so girls, please get out of this thread!

>>711
eat my shit, my slave

is there a english bulletin board similar to 2 channel where all westerners post?

no

English speakers, I have a story to tell you

Last time I was sleeping I have this strange dream, and I meet a powerful being. This being have this onversation with me

Me: Why am I so lonely?
Being: Because you have a small penis in your pants.
Me: Why do I have such a small penis?
Being: Because of the bad deeds that your ancestor have done in the past.
Me: How do I make my penis bigger?
Being: Do good things.

So, when I wake up I think that I will do good things.But I don't know which things to do.
Please help me redeem myself from the past of my family.How do I start doing good things?

it's called Penis Enlargement tool

my penis is big, like a foreigner's penis! yes

>>702
I am surprised to know that many illigal immigrants from Mexico enter the US across the
border line. I wonder why the US government doesn't improve its border security. I don't
think it is difficult to build a high and long wall along the border which can prevent illegal
immigrants from entering.

>>662
im a bit like that , it's not like i don't try to make friends , it's just relly hard if you don't drink and party wild im my town.
but i am not totally isolated , i have a few good friends , so i guess im not total otaku :P

>>720
Bush doesn't want to close the border because business owners are his supporters.
Business owners would rather employ Mexicans, because they can pay them less money than Americans.
In this country money and greed takes precedence over security and quality of life.

Yukorin doesn't want all of you here in the thread to smell her fart because
it's so seraphic.

>>714
I warn you. Your desire to make Yukorin eat your shit shall be stopped
and you shall kneel down to ask for mercy.

I wrote a rap music in English. Is this the right place to post such thing?

>>725
you must think twice before you take any action. got it?

Sing and record it with an IC recorder and upload it so
we can judge your rap music. What do you say?

Okay but my rap is a little dirty, if there is a children in your quarters tell them to leave before you play it.

>>726
What do you want to say?
I thought three times before posting. I decided on doing what
I like. Nobody can stop me.

>>726
You're evil. Yukorin would fight against you with her aromatic fart.

I tried to record the rap but I decided to wait until my house is empty of inhabitants.

You mean your family members are going out for shopping or something?

>>732
Going to work, and such. If I wasn't coward, but tough like my favorite rappers I would spit my rap music and not care for their concerns. Life is a terrible struggle.

>>725
I'd rather want you to make a song for Yukorin.

>>734
Alright, i'll do it, but next time...

>>703
this is a false stastistic. The number of violent crimes commited by
foreigners is very low. Most "crimes" committed by foreigners are
immigration crimes like not have a visa or visa overstay. 90% of all
violent crime in Japan is committed by Japanese. It only seems foreigner
crime is going up becasue of slanted news reports and more harsh enforcement
of immigration laws. I would not say foreigner crime is a problem.

Japanese just blame foreigners because they do not want to blame themselves

>>736
Are you implying that Yukorin also may commit a crime?
Cut it out!! She'll never do it because she's very pure.

>>736 dont everybody do that

Do you think Yukorin can save the trouble of Middle East and Africa? I think Japanese
government, as a means of promotion of Japanese culture, should persuade Yukorin to make
appearance for Israel and Palestine. This is the only way to make peace between these
nations.

>>739
I am intrigued by your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Let's send a petition to President Bush.

>>739
At least, her cute smile would make people also smile if you ask me.
That's the way it should be.

Yukorin might help leaders to agree.
but they would only agree that she is too annoying and needs
to be slapped in the face or kicked

the leaders of middle east and Israel could all take turns kicking
Yukorin and they would laugh and enjoy themselves so become easier
for them to talk to each other. then they could kick Yukorin more
and remember how much they do not like her annoying self together
And then kick her more. It would be so fun for them and help peace
Yukorin should be kicked or slapped in the face for peace

>>737
Yukorin will commit a crime. she is not pure. when her career
is failing she will become the prosistute because she only loves
money

>>739
indeed, if suffering people see yukorin, they will stop suffering for a moment when they see themself in yukrin's eyes

all japanese bitches care about is money.

no wonder japan has declining population

>>745
suffering people would only suffer more if they see yukorin and
have to see her annoying self. it would be cruel to show yukorin
to suffering people.

yukorin is reading this thread while waiting for photo sessions

yukorin is in my bed right now, let me ask if she's reading this thread

dont even try to do dirty things to my yukorin

once yukarin is older and done modeling, i feel she will become a great author or musical
composer or painter. she's blessed with beauty, and she has talent for all lofty arts of
humanity.

>>769 you are a great fool. when yukorin is in my bed, it's not called "dirty" it's
called "magical moment" yes me and yukorin are making "magical moment"

>>770 who is this yukarin? surely i don't know her. however, the way you describe she
sounds like yukorin, but no one can be like yukorin, so yukarin must be a product of your
imagination.

im da bomb

yukorin is mine.

please tell me about your craziest adventure in 2ch

>>772
I will cum on my fist and punch you in the face.

I shaved all my pubic hair

i rock!rock!you suck!

yukorin belongs to every male (and some female?). if you want her she is in your heart.

yukorin tell me that she wanted you to stop talking about her!
that made her sick and disgusted

>>776
Is your balls itchy now? When I shave mine, it was so itchy. But I sent my pubic hair as a
present to Yukorin. After she recieved that present, she made me her personal assistant
and lover.

what happened to ignoring me, is the ignore option too hard for niggers to understand

It really doesn't make sense to call people who aren't black
niggers. And if there are black people here you probably shouldnt
call them that anyway.

I would never click on a link posted on 2ch. I did that once and it has scared me mentally.

I bet it was a lolicon link. Usually I click those out of amusement, then I go into a download frenzy. I have to delete it later.

Why does Carbon Copy Man no use his name anymore when he posts?

>>848
You will be welcomed in Japan. but don't go to Hokkaido, they
don't like Russians so much up there

Don't you think that Yukorin will be wellcome even in Russia if she goes
there as her cute smile and aromatic fart must get favor from anyone anywhere
in the world, do you?

>>855 i don't post lolicon links. i dislike lolicon.

>>856 Maybe because it's handier to be anonymous? People stop focusing on WHO posts it, and focus on what is posted instead.

>>821
Uhh. Last time I checked:

The Australians:
- Say "G'day" and "Crikey!" and "Blokes" and "Beauty!" and "Bugger!" and
"Christ fucking Jesus!" a lot.

:P

>>856
I was absent, not anonymous. I leave for one day...

>>859
Indeed. That's always a good point. But I think I'll be me for a little longer.

Japanese must have very short memory to be entertained by the samething

his mouth. it is boring now because he does it too much!

>>873
But we'll never get bored to see Yukorin smiling.

>>874
You are right. Yukorin does not make me bored. She makes me
irritated because she is too annoying and stupid looking. She
must be slapped in the face

what's the difference between russians and europeans? I mean about their look

>>875
You're lying. Guess when looking at her pictures, you easily get
excited and do what healthy males would do.

russians drink vodka too much

>>869
We have a lot of words.

The best is quite possibly "bludge".

>>876
Not too much, I don't think. I haven't been paying too much attention, but I think
they look quite British -- except Russians tend to be taller (and more blond perhaps?).

>>877
I don't see what all the fuss is about. She's youthful... but perhaps too youthful.

Then again, if more people's farts smelled of Gackt, there might be fewer warring
countries. :P

I am quasimoto

>>861

True, but I think of Canadians saying "Beauty" because of Bob & Doug Mackenzie.

Maybe I should've used hoser, eh?

>>841

Interesting Fact of the Day:

Japan is known as the "Land of the Rising Sun."
Ireland, on the other hand, is known as the "Land of the Setting Sun."

And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

<丶｀∀´> Korea, - "Land of the Morning Calm," <丶｀∀´>

I thought Russians were Europeans?
but if count Siberai then Russians are Asians as well.

>>877
I only do that after I look at your mother

>>883
Fuck you yank

wow, I heard that RIAA made illegal to use p2p programms such WinMX, limewire and
few others in america.
scary thing

I am started to get into pixel art - a lot of fun!

i think siberia takes up a majority of the land in russia. btw, is 2ch moderated?
if not, what's stopping from becoming a jungle of advertisement and spam.

Excuse me. I can't find a thread anywhere so may I talk about Dragonball here?

A lot of the people here feel very negatively about otaku, but personally I don't
mind.

>>891
no. not moderated

I mind.

i dont care about otakus too. it's their chooses to lead such stupid life

i found this on foreigner forum:
First 2ch tip.

If you post good information some people will hate and insult you.
If you make a mistake some people will hate and insult you.
Probably the same people but it's hard to tell because 97% of them are 名無しさん


Second 2ch tip.

Decide early on whether you want to be 名無しさん or not.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both ways.
If you do use a username then add a トリップ (trip) which you do by typing
#somestuff after your name. (Remember what 'somestuff' is because you might
lose it later).

コテハンs (people with fixed names) generally have a reputation - and this
naturally makes them bigger targets for the general 2ch crap. On the other
hand if you don't have a fixed name you'll have trouble persuading people you
know what you're talking about with regards to the English language. (Well,
you will anyway with some people - see tip one). Posting under 名無しさん
means never having to say you're sorry because they won't (generally) know
it's you when you post again.

in truth i post as anonymous because i think people who post with names and trip want
to make internet reputation for themself. since anonymous post is allowed here, why not
use it? in many forums you cannot. i think you should only use name when people are
knowing your posts and expecting to talk to you.

I think people prefer to stay anonymous, because of thier insecurity

>>899
Do you have insecurity?

feel that's personality question. but I think almost everybody have some insecurity

what's average age of people in this thread? I am 19

26...
I bet I'm older than everyone else, huh...

there is 36 year old warehouse worker. www
He is older than you

Today I got a CD rack that holds 240 CDs.
I loaded all my CDs into it, but there were about 20 extras
that didn't fit.

Now I can't decide if I wanna just keep the extras somewhere
else, or find 20 to sell to BookOff so everything fits. If I
sell some, then I'll feel obligated to keep only 240 CDs for
as long as I have the new CD tower... but my room will be nice
and organized. :/

Vexing...

>>904
Do you mean "CUSSW"?
I figured he was about 50, not 36! ww

>>905
I believe it depends on your perspective. Do you believe music as true art? Then you
should keep your cd's, perhaps you can put them inside a closet where they are out of
your view. If music is not something you taken so seriously, and only there for slight
entertainment, then you should sell these cd's.

By the way, which music do you enjoy?

>>906
no. I know one person without name, who freq. posts here. he is warehouse worker,
virgin. not CUSSW

I have iPOD for tons of mp3s I have. I dont buy cd frequently because I am not
into serious music, that you can lay off on your bad, and listen to(like classical).
But I want to buy vinyl player for some records

Vinyl players have gotten very popular lately. I belive this trend started in England
and the United States, where people calling themself "beatdiggers" began looking for
old soul, r&b, and funk records that were sampled in their favorite hip-hop songs.

But now, it has outgrew it's humble beginnings and associations with hip-hop culture,
and old vinyl records are truly popular worldwide. It's interesting to see that such a
thing has been ressurected, and is now played alongside digital media.

>>910
yeah, I am interesed in hip-hop and that vintage things! some of independent hip-hop
records are truly amazing, I believe it's the most edge-cutting music today.

>>906
Mr Shit, who's the most intelligent and benign of all we've had, must
be nearly 60 years old. He said to us that he didn't especially like
female idols without good knowledge on things about artists/novelists.
He loved to talk with a woman like Yukorin because she was so smart.

Mr Shit is just an alter ego of one person on this board

>>913
I couldn't guess who you're referring to.
He hasn't recently appeared here, Mr Shit...
As I see it, he left for some other board, and of course he must've
changed his name. We'd never met him in 2ch, I'm sorry.

>>913
Um, an idea hit me!
Are you Mr Shit?

How do you do! Lately, I begin English coversation study.Please
teach me English!

>>915
No, I am not. But I know who is mr shit. there was one talk with mr shit's alter ego
and I suddenly discovered that mr shit is not real person

>>916
I am fine, thanks. whats bring you here?

>>917
What're you saying? Mr Shit is not a real person?
Of course, there must be no one by that name offline, but Mr Shit
is not a computer or an animal or whatever. He's somewhere in Japan.
We know that.

I think Anyway I must study English.I think foolhardy.I forgot,My name kaz.

Do you become chilled?...

No,no,no. most of us want to chill out with Yukorin, though.

>>919
no, mr.shit is not real, it's just character played by one of the member of this forum

Why dont U use the Yahoo chat USA? wara

>>923
Do you mean he was not honest?
I thought he used an ID, I mean, he was what we call kotehang.
And obviously, even Mr Shit was one of the user here.

>>897
I don't think people insult other people for "good" information. It
seems more like for "stupidity" or "bad" information

>>926
I see. So some of them here sometimes insult Yukorin?
It's very stupid of them. We must fight against any such vicious person.

Let's get into more complicated and difficult matter.
Yukorin said her fart smelt like vanilla. But to be honest,
I've never met a girl whose fart is so aromatic. Did she tell a lie
to us? If so, why did she do it? Or if I'm domb enough not to know
girls' fart usually smells of fart, what made their fart vanilla-like?
What's your point of view on this?

>>925
I mean that he is a fake. some user wanted to create a character called mr shit
and play with him

>>929
NO! You're absolutely wrong. I take umbrage with that statement.
As you may not see him online, though, Mr Shit was here to post
interesting messages. He's real. He must be living somewhere in Japan.
I'm completely sure about it. You can believe me.

>>930
why do you think so? Everyone can create a name he want and play with that
name like an actor

I doubt Yukorin was from Korin Planet. If she is not that cute,
she musta bashed. Do you know when a girl lies and what for?
I can't guess why Yukorin said she was Korinian...

hey,What's mean of "fart"?
I'm lack of english language!
hahaha!

>>931
Because you said he was not real. He really came here and talked
with us. You can't deny it.

We want Mr Shit back.

>>933
おなら

>>928 She was probably exaggerating.
Farts usually don't smell much unless you've been eating something that makes them smelly.
And so since her farts don't smell, she probably was trying to state that her farts are not smelly.
And instead of coming with a long explenation of how they don't smell,
she merely stated that they didn't smell bad by stating her farts was vanilla scented.

But you probably can get vanilla like farts if you overdose on vanilla or so.
Nothing I would recommend.

>>934
HE is not real personality. he is a FAKE! can you understand that?
it's product of someone's imagination.
not a real person

>>937
It's only name he invented. He was really nice for everyone.
Can't you understand?

i can. but he is not a real person.

Anyway,I will buy digital audio player.
but,recent CD soft is have a copy gard!
so,if I have a digital audio player,I can't copy a recent CD music.
how do you think about a digital audio player?

>>936
If you bump into Yukorin when you are walking across the street and she drops
her belongings before you pick them up, and when you look up, Yukorin look you
in the eyes as if to say she's just fallen in love with you, then what will you
do next? Ask her out?

>>940
buy apple ipod instead

>>938 At the other forum i usually am at, there used to be this person who
posted under Tomoyo's name (Tomoto from Card Captor Sakura) and tripcode.
In reality, it probably was an old man.
But in the forums she was always cheerful, friendly and sweet to everyone, acting like Tomoyo from CCS.
I haven't seen her for a month or two. I miss her, she was nice.

>>941
True. I'd ask her out if she really loves me.

>>944 But what if she wasn't sure if she loved you or not, would you ask her out then?

do you know where I can download english audiobooks? I want to read book
in english while listening to perfect english speaking! it's good way to
teach myself english pronounce and understanding spoken english

>>946 Try looking at the BBC radio shows page? I do think they have radio dramatizations of some books.
Otherwise try using some peer to peer program or bittorrent page?

>>947
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain/saturday/ random BBC comedy radio.

http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3360577 hitchhiker's guide torrent.

Like so, you mean?

thanks I will try it

>>948 Um, yeah. Shiny links.

>>941
I'd tell that if she cleans up her act and stops being annoying
I will consider going out with her. But she has to pay for
dinner

Why be interestedin Ogura Yuko? She is not so interesting nor is
she so cute. You all should find a better girl to be stalker fan-boys
of

you're idiots.

>>953
and you're a spastic monkey

>>952 Hey, at least they're not being stalker-fanboys over Cracky-chan.

That would have been really bad.

who is cracky-chan?

cracky-chan ?

I found it via google.
http://4-ch.net/dqn/kareha.pl/1118131496
look, it's english version of 2channel

how to write correct
A and B ARE good. or A and B IS good?

foreigners are very fucked up is seems

>>960
why? or you mean those foreigners who are anime geeks? but not all foreignrs in
this thread are anime geeks.

>>960
I mean the foreigners on that 4-ch. link

>>958 Heh.. I have Repeatedly linked to that site. I am amused

hahahahha foreigner stalkers
hahah so funny

>>962

Remember that the board on that link was called "The Forbidden Garden of DQN". There are much
less fucked up places even on 4-ch.

4-ch is small board...

>>966 In comparison to 2ch, yes. Very small. But then again 2ch is one of the biggest forums online, no?

>>967
mew mew

>>968 Mew? Do I know you? o.O

=^.^=

>>959 When in doubt, rewrite.
"A and B ARE good." => "They ARE good." Correct.
"A and B IS good." => "They IS good." Incorrect.

And thus you know that "are" is the correct one.


http://www.drgrammar.org/ is a very good site for english grammar and language questions.

>>907
That's good advice, thanks! I'm going to keep the extra CDs.
I like all kinds of music... CAKE, Green Day, Blink182...
And some Japanese pop, too...

Yukorin demands more sacrificial vanilla cream from this thread.

>>972 http://www.papapaa.co.uk/shopgraphics/vanilla%20cream-big.jpg for yukorin. chocolate.

Hi, I came here for the first time.
I have bad English ability but Nice to meet you

>>974 'y helo thar', and where are you from?

Yuko Ogura is mean! ^^
She almost makes me like her more than I like Ayaya,
but I'm resisting bravely!
Of course, she can't sing very well,
and she can't actually dance,
but she's annoyingly cute!
And even though she'll be turning 22 this November,
she still looks much younger and fits perfectly the
lolita-style which make a lot of pervs drool over
her photobooks and DVDs ^_^;
And maybe she'll eventually improve her singing
and dancing skills, although many people think
that that clumsy look is actually part of her charm.

>>976
I don't think people describe that kind of girl mean!
I'm worried if too much love turns into great hatred.
Sure, Yukorin is pure, calm, and pretty. No doubt about it.
I don't want to deny it.

Yukorin is beautiful, carming, and attractive.

Who is Yuorin anyway, and why does anyone care?

>>979
Are you kidding?
She's a famous idol! Once you watch her on TV, if you're a male,
then you'll be in love with her. People in this thread have been
enchanted for years.

>>980
No, I'm not kidding.

O.K., I did a search on her and yes, I have to admit, she's cute. But
not exceptionally or uniquely so. I guess it's like the entertainment
news programs and talk shows in the U.S., they keep talking about a
celebrity even when they're not exceptional or even noteworthy.

I'm guessing Yukorin is the Paris Hilton of Japan. The more you hear
about her, the less likely you are to like her.

>>980
well you have to admit that she is
quite an idiot.
