>>1
Don't make excrement thread asshoke ｍ９

>>9
I think >>1 is a woman
so you must bitch to her

>>10
Huh?? Why did you know >>1 is a woman?
Suck my balls and go screw myself

>>11
No you suck my balls

Fuck you, asshole. You can go fuck yourself

>>11

Ｘ go screw myself
○ go screw yourself

What's the weather like in Iowa?

Ｉｏｗａ and Iwo Jima are very simillar in spelling but so different in its nature.
What do you think?

>>14
It's pretty good
Iowa is most goodest state in United states
How is the your city?

You suck


I'll be back

wow... your blog sucks ass..

My penis is large. you wanna suck it.

No you suck my balls
you stupid asshole
pee your face

you guys really like to suck, don't you

If you were a 10-13 agid girls, you can give me your virginity

get out of here jackass
I will get her a virgin

I will be happy.

Jackass? How rude you are! I am not stupid. I just am a romantic lolicon.

You don't need to suck my penis. I'm sorry.

I suck, therefore I am.

My dick is too big to be swallowed by her.
What can I do?

May be you should have sex change surgery and get rid of it, so that you don't have to worry about it any more.
What do you think about that?

>>21
"pee your face"

lol

>>16
Are you a native speaker?
Is "most goodest state" gramatticaly false?
not false but not official? "the best state " is more appropriate?

how about "the beautifulest woman"

i think "the most beautiful woman" connotes that she may be the number one
in apperance but not necesarilly so.
If ways of expression like "beautifulest" is possible, we can express
the meaning of she being the numeber one.

I have stolen your pants.
The pants are now mine.
You will never see them again.
Bwahahahahaa.....

>>32
correct: good, better, best
incorrect: good gooder, goodest

correct: beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful

>>32
I think s/he is just trying to be a clown.
I bet he's waiting for someone to say "Hey, you idiot!
You dunno the basic rule of English?!"
Such a kid.

>>34
you can say "most goodest" but it's like an old joke.

hello!

i am interested in you and ayaseharuka

I have a Japanese question! It's probably elementary, but...

I was thinking of a phrase this morning: " Sleep is the cousin of Death"
And was wondering, are these the correct ways of saying it?
ねる　は　死ぬ　の　いとこ
死ぬ　の　いとこ、　ねる　は

It feels strange using a verb as a noun though... Sorry for the stupid question.

Sleep is the cousin of Death
first of all,i don't know this proverb.　i don't know the meaning.

direct translation of the prover can be 寝るの（事）は死の従兄弟（いとこ）
by adding "の" or "事" after verbs, they become nouns.　we always
use "の"　with particles like の or が which add the meaning of the Subject.
寝る　の　は.　寝るの itself means nothing.

we can use single noun which means sleep,睡眠(SUIMINN)
睡眠　は　死の　いとこ

most goodest is black or ebony English?

like の or が
correction like は or　"が"

Thank you! I should have known about using "事"... I guess I forgot.

Are you asking which is better to use? Black or Ebony?
Black is deffinatly more common.
But if you use Ebony, people will know that you mean black. I
t just sounds more poetic to use Ebony, since it's a black type of rock. xD

You should save the word 'Ebony' for when you are complimenting something. Like Ebony hair, Ebony eyes, ect.

i suppose which to choose ,は or が
is the one of the most difficult,complicating points for foreign japanse
learning people.

>>42
It's pretty hard!
But just by listening to other people speak Japanese, I can kind of figure out where to use them based on hearing it out of habit.
My teacher tried to help, saying that が is usually used for introducing new information to someone, but I don't think this is a fair explanation...

Any more English questions that I can hopefully answer? n__n

ebony ass can be flattering?

>>45
LOL!
No, I don't think so.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom_murder
By the way, does keira know this sickening crime?

I happened to know on the internet.
If you don't know still,
the main stream media don't want to report this news for some reason.

Even japanese like me know the case of Duke lacrosse players raping
a black woman. It turned out to be a false charge. She is a
stripper and she probably lied for money. From the start,Suspects
denied the charge. there was no hard evidence. but the main stream media reported the
case intently　across the nation

Two people were actually killed in the most atrocious way we can hardly imagine.
Police arrested suspects.
Media ignore the case or underestimate the case as much as they can.

Why??

How very depressing.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't report something like the murders, while they report a false rape charge...

I can only assume that the media would think people would pay more attention to a controversy, instead of an actual murder that has since been solved.
But I don't know...there could be a number of reasons, of which we observers don't know about. We have no idea what goes on behind the scenes of news broadcasts.

Oh, I see, you were talking about this comment?

"Despite the horrific nature of these murders, they received virtually no coverage in the mainstream media outside of the Knoxville area in which they occurred.
Some observers, including country musician Charlie Daniels and conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, have said that this is due to a media bias that provides more coverage to crimes perpetrated by whites against black victims,
such as the false allegations of rape against the Duke Lacrosse players."

Hmm...The media works in mysterious ways.

wt r u takin abt?

pretty much because country musicians don't wanna admit that they suck so bad they are
out of the main stream now, but believe that's due to a media bias.

lol, Actually, I believe Country is very popular in the midwest.

I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish...

Except one.
An inch. It is small and fragile and it's the only thing in the world that's worth having.
We must never lose it or sell it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

I don't know who you are but I hope you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and things get better and that one day people have roses again.

I don't know who you are but I love you. I love you.

exactly. there are way too many radio stations that play only country music
but they don't call it 'media bias', which bores so many ppl to death on a daily basis.

>>53
V for Vendetta?

>>54
Are you saying that 'media bias' only seems bias to those not receiving the bias themselves?

>>55
" Are you saying that 'media bias' only seems bias to those not receiving the bias themselves? "
whoops, to make it more clear:

Are you saying that 'media bias' only seems bias to those not benefitting from the bias themselves?

maybe. i just don't like country music.

Do Japanese have to do 漢文訓読 in school? I don't understand how it works exactly.
Who is the one who puts in the 返り点? Do you do it yourselves or is it given to you?

>>57
lol. Well, I don't really like it either. But that's okay. I tend not to stick with genres anyways.

true. I like some female country singers that rock. silly to be biased by the word.

>>58
We do. You follow kanji in a different order, in accordance with 返り点.
Even though it's traslated in 訓読, it's still archaic Japanese.
So, you need to be familiar with 古文. 返り点 is printed on the text book.
If you can put them in yourself, that means you can read Chinise.

>>61
Oh. I see. Thanks. I thought that maybe you had to learn Chinese grammar
and put them in yourself.

>>62
I did figure some grammar like verbs come before objects.
Actually, I remember questions like putting a couple of given 返り点
to make sense in a very simple sentence. I might be wrong.
Could be a multple choice or something.

>>63
Really? The reason I wanted to know is that when I look at things written
in classical Chinese, I know many of the characters, but I can't tell what they
mean at all because I don't know the sentence order. I was wondering how hard
Chinese grammar was. I've heard that it isn't very complicated.

>>64
I forgot most of it now, so I can't tell what a sentence means.
But if I can tell 80% of kanji there, I might be able to guess what it could be
talking about. But nothing reliable. According to a Chinese friend, the sentence
oder of Chinese is pretty close to that of English. So he's learned English very quickly.

Anyone who are thinking about visiting Japan this summer, be careful
of sumurai roaming around Narita airport.

They are survivors of last Samurais and notorious for thier vicious
acts against foreigners.

You again?

Yeah. As you know, samurai survivers are so dangerous that precausions
over and over is not enough.

But nobody would dare visit Japan in the summer; nobody in the right mind, at least.

I'd recommend that you should hire a ninja on your way to downtown Tokyo
from Narita airport even though it cost you 100 US dollars.

If you are visiting Japan, be carefuly with the measles!!!
Many universities have been closed down due to the measles epidemic.

foolish japanese!
You will never understand our sophisticated humour...

>>72
Which country are you from?
If you are from the UK, too bad, Terry Gilliam, who made all those
Python cartoons is from the US,
and if you are from the US, too bad, Monty Python is based in the UK.
If you are from other countries, fuck you!!

well fuck you too!

I know Terry Gilliam made these. I saw it first on Monty Python.

Baaaka!!!

aaaaaassssssshhhoooooooole!!!

I'm drinking champagne, more specifically, Piper-Heidsieck with
rice cracker on the side.
What do you drinking, ass hole?

Your sister's blood. I'm eating her liver next.

LOL, I don't have a sister!!!

of course you don't, she's gone, I'm eating her!

Baaaaka!!!

yumyumyumyumyum tasty etc

etc.??????
LOL~~~

etc, shorthand for et cetera
Hardly anyone uses et cetera, they use etc instead.

>>71
Owing to cancellation of classes triggered by the epidemic,
I can't see the person who are connected with me only by eye contact. orz...

>>85
Are you a stalker?

What made you think that!!
I am not a stalker, but a talker.
Let's talk!!

SSDD. I'm always feeling lonelyness and deppresion.
COS I can't remove that teriible memories (to be bullied).
I can't stand any more...

>>88
Do what I did. Drown your sorrows in computer games, or whatever takes
your fancy. Eventually you'll meet someone or a group of people, on the
internet or at some place like a university club or something with the
same interests. Even if you don't meet anybody, the fact that you have
something to live form, regardless of what others think of you because
of it, makes things easier.

People are too critical of hobbies. Everyone has a hobby or obsession
of some sort. Sorry to sound nihilistic, but if you're not particularly
interested or motivated by something, life is pretty pointless.

>>88
If you can't get over your trauma by yourself, you'd better consult a doctor specialize in
mental illness.

>>88
Just kill yourself, what are you waiting for?
In this world "sink or swim".
If you can't swim, then fucking sink.
You are the weak member of society that holds us back from
reaching greatness.

>>88
You'd better sit down if you can't stand anymore. lol

>>92
I am sorry, I have to go

I really dislike people with no hobbies.

All they do is study. How is that a life? >__<

I love anime, manga, and romance games. :3

>>94
Mind your own business.

Why? Can't we all talk? :3

The more the merrier~

>>96
You are the last person I'd want to talk with.

>>91
Only people with nothing else to live do everything they're told
to and want to do nothing but follow laws and do whatever society
tells them to. Whenever someone says they are contributing to
society, it just means no one cares about what they are doing,
or they have no friends.

>>91
Yeah I know.I gonna fack off right now.

手に力がはいらねえずら。
オナニーしすぎたずら。

>>99
Are you gonna write a suicide note?
People should tell jokes in suicide notes. They're too sappy otherwise.
Like if you hung yourself, write "I don't like it here, but I think
I'll hang around for a bit longer" lolololol

>>101
That's a good one!

ｋ２　is the best.

>>91
You don't know about society at all.
If you collected ten mans who says," I'm the strongest of all people."and
and made a society consists of them,
about two out of them would become ,what you call,"the weak"s.
That means there is a possibility almost everyone,of course including you, will become the "weak".
So first of all, you should learn "the theory of "thhe weak",otherwise you won't survive.

>>103
i agree, but mp5 and G36C are also good.

>>105
that is right.
generally M4 and AK are the populuar in the SF,
but i recomend beginners to M16.
i used to use M4 but now i mostly go with K2.

He that knows little often repeats it. lol

In June my friend will marry Malaysian man.
So I will go to Malaysia to attend her wedding ceremony.
And then I want to give bride and groom congratulatory address.
Do you know nice compliments in English?

Early this morning I had an unusual dream. In my dream, I went on a one-day trip to the
moon by spaceship.

You had a good dream! Did you enjoy it?
Were there rabits?

>>115
When I arrived on the moon, a creature I'd never seen before came and talked to me.
He was friendly and showed me around the moon.

I am hungry. But I spend all my earnings on anime figurines and romance
games. What to do now? Anyone want to feed poor otaku?

How much do you earn?

>>117
go to your mother, she will feed you. just give her a hug, and say "i'm
sorry for being such embarrassing son."

>>117
Yes, I would like to feed you.
I would like to feed you cyanide tablet.

>>120
I would like to teach you the proper use of articles in English.
It should be "a cyanide tablet", not just "cyanide tablet".

I would like to teach you a proper use of your testicles.
Suck them.

I'll feed you! ( . w . )〜

萌え Pills〜 -twirls around-

mmm.......actually, chatting is very difficult because we don't know what we should talk.
So, we should decide theme we talk about.

the theme should be love.

Love?

Hmmm... a kind of hard topic considering that I have had no experience. All I know is about the games. >___>;;

Yay~ Being an Otaku is fun! :3

What are you talking about?
I wanna join it too..

Ahh, thank you! I am not that pretty though...;;

You lie~

It's crystal clear that you're playing both of them.
You are such a ham actor!

ちゃうわ。スカイプで知り合った４ちゃんねらーのかわいい子じゃ。

No lie, honestly o _o
I am from Arizona.

ｖ

fffff

一緒に書いてみる。・

My name is Wickey.
May I have your name please?

Life one degree.
ってどうゆう意味？

It means life sucks, get on with it.
So basically, nothing.

Well, I'll make sure that You're really from Arizona.
If my memory serves me correct,there's a big park in Arizona.
Tell me the name of it.

I have no friends. Is it worth making friends with people? I don't like any of the people know, so I don't think it is.

Depends on what part you're talking about. I live in Tucson; there is Reed Park.

I love Arizona ice tea.

Yeah? What flavor? I'm drinking the plum green tea one, it's pretty good.

驚き！ほんまもんとはおもわんかったｗ

Definitely peach.

I am sorry, I do not know Japanese. D: Peach is good but a little too sweet for me sometimes.
How are you?

Fine, thank you. Youself?
Peach gives me a sugar high but sweet green tea tastes a bit awkward for me.

Very, very bored. There is nothing to do!

Sorry to hear that.
What time is it there?

I suppose this thread is also boring for you because there are few people
here fluent in English..

Norah is an Arizonian.
The only thing comes to my mind about Arizona is the word Arizonian

, and maybe Senator John McCain, who will be the next president of the U.S.

It's 12:21 am, and the thread is amusing with the whole talk about lolicon.
Arizonian is a funny word.

I'm totally not fluent, far from it. That's why I'm in 2ch. If you want fluency, you can go to american places.

Ahahah, Senator Mccain sucks so much. I hope he doesn't! None of the candidates are really appealing, but hey, it's America. (What else can you expect from us other than ignorance? Haha)

I'm downloading 2007Moodyz感謝祭 right now.
I can't wait to watch it. You should, too.

The language barrier doesn't bother me at all. But if you would like me to stop posting, I will. :)

No, Norah. It's the other way around.
You should keep posting and please us not fluent people.

A 15 y/o American girl... You know you are more than welcome here.

You don't like Senator John McCain?!?!
That's a blasphemy as an Arizonian. You should know better!!

I thought that Japanese people didn't like foreigners that couldn't speak Japanese. I feel rude for posting.

What r u talking about? This is the kingdom of lolicon!

Norah is 15?
I want peropero Norah.

Yo, don't scare her away.

Japanese people love female people under 13.
15? We can cope.

You can't say such a thing generally.
You know, so many men so many mind.
It depends on person to person.

Ahh! I still think it is rude though. I just turned 15 a little while ago. Does peropero mean lick? I looked up peropero, and found peropero candies "Peropero candies" literally means "candies that you can lick".

So I'm guessing I'm right?

オレハノーラの写真いっぱい持ってるぜ！

見せろタコ

Ok I'll put it another way.
Some Japanese people love girls under 10.
On average, we love them under 13.
15 is old.

>>185
no

I am sorry that I am too old. ):!

Norah's way of laughing is cute.

>>183
You're right.
"pero pero" is an onomatopoeic Japanese word for "lick".

It is not cute. I am too old.

I am very old.. im 17 nd ill be 18 this year..
omb.

Is Roswell in Arizona?

Norah is an old fart.

Nopeeee.

I am so old~~
Are you an otaku?

Not really. Are you?

Just a pedophile then? Haha :D
And nope.

なんだこいつらｗｗｗｗ

Actually, you haven't hit my zone yet.
What do you like about Japan?

幼女なんかより少年（ショタ）の方がいいのに。
美少年＞少女だ。
まぁそんな俺でもノーラは良いと思う。　まぁロリじゃないからだけど。

Japanese boys to be honest. Ahahaa, not just that. They are very polite which is a quality I like very much. I'm interested in every type of culture though; not just Japan's.

Well then, I apologize for all the impoliteness here.
People are just teasing you. Hope you enjoy chatting here.

Nah, it's okay. It is just the internet. :)

What's your favorite subject at school?

girls

What do they teach about girls?

That girls are made of everything sweet!

My favorite subject is math. I like calculus. Do you?

I thought Sigma was a kind of bear.

I will not be happy.

Be my guest.

Put my service to the test.

Why did you think so?
It's the most mysterious the thing I've ever heard, which seems to be beyond the Seven Wonders
of the World. lol

yabai, norah no itteru kotoga sexy sugiru !
oremo fera site moraiteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

hi, I'm from Japan and 22 years old.
Today, I tried to

Oh no. It looks like someone got him in the middle of his message.

You're right. He was kidnapped.

Today is the memorial day of the Impeiral Navy.
Admiral Togo is the most famous naval officer in the world.

I think the latter part of >>216 is like this.

I tried to figure out Native speakers talking. But I can't...
Please tell me how Natives pronouce " I'll be able to" in native speed....
It's no way "ｱｲﾙ　ﾋﾞｰ　ｴｲﾌﾞﾙ　ﾄｩｰ".

>>216
Are you a girl? If you were so, you can be my sex friend. I can make you satisfy with my large cock.

Are you a boy? Get out from here and do masturbate in a crowded train!

>>221
No one in the world could come as quicly as you whose speam come out
by only three times and a half piston actions.

>>219
Who are you? Are you a SDF officer or something?
I learned about "Togo Heihachiro" in the history textbook
when I was in high school.

>>222
Shut up! Why can you say my cock is sourou?

>>223
I'm working at College, my measure is mechanical engineering.
However, I like historical or naval novels like as Ryotaro Shiba or Hiroyuki Agawa and so on.

I also like drinking alcohol. (Now, I'm drinking vin de rouge.)
The Togo beer was brewed in Holland.

I took a terrible mistake in >>219.
×　Impeiral
○　Imperial

I saw Norah there and many J otaku kids are excited over her visit. That's
so funny....haha^^

and Keira was here on Thursday?...Oh I always miss her...^^; *wave~~Keira*

test

I am an otaku. I want to be a man such as a train man.
When I always ride on a train. but nothing has happened pretty gals around me.

I'm hoping that my erumesu would suit for Fukuda mayuko.
I masturbate her 2 times every day, for almost 2 years!

This thread seems to be made of lolicon, otaku and stalkers...

lolicon is innocent, but many people think it's guilty.

When on the earth my effort and my masturbation will pay off, namely Mayuko Fukuda will be my girlfriend?

How can Fukuda Mayuko come to you even you claimed you masturbate
thinking about her.. ewwww....I dunno who the heck Mayuko
is though....if she is generous enough, she might show you a
thank-you-for-being-my-fan-but-never-touch-me smile haha^^;

>>226
Keira said," I don't want to talk to Bernardo any more. because
I feel there's a deep generation gap between she and me.
Her story is always boring." lol

！

>>234
I'm bernardo, not Bernardo. Two different people. Thanks. lol~

Then, what's the point of starting with a small letter "be" for you?

bernardo is even older

"bernard" is old enough to put her leg into the coffin.

What would like to eat, honey?

I'd like to eat a large sized bowl of rice topped with beef,which was made
from a cow whose age is younger than 20 months old.

>>241
Do you want to eat a sausage which can enlarge and shrink itself without my will?
It taste salty but much more delicious than the onigiri you ate.

>>241
Rather specific concerning the cow's age, huh. x.X

>>243
Are you a neet? I often see you here at random in a day.

>>243
Of course,it comes from the information I got from news papers.
Anyway, I'm very scared of BSE but at the same time I like beel bowls
very much. To eat or not to eat...that is the question.

>>242
I guess your sausage would taste like cuttlefish rather than tastes salty.

Helllooo!
What is up?

everybody's asleep

Trouser sausage doesn't taste good at all.

>>246
Umm... cuttlefish.

It's 3 am there, right? It just turned 11 am here.

west coast?

Yes.

great. :)
how's the weather there?

PS: Why are you saging? ):

Very hot! It's supposed to be 35.5°C today.

I just do it.
doesn't mean much.

ooooo.
that's more than HOT.
make sure you are not being boiled.
are you?

who is norah?

I see~ (I thought saging was bad ;3)
Of course, too hot to go outside today.
How are you? What is the weather like in Japan?

I'm dying from headache and the weather is pretty good.
Hot during the day and cool at night.
The best season of a year.

Take some aspirin! :( Yes, summer is nice. :D

>>259
doesn't matter, does it?
and who are YOU?

>>260
I did. But it's not been working.
I drank too much during the day.
All I can do is wait and that's what I'm doing.....

What's your plan for today?

Probably nothing; I am getting over being sick.
Hangover? Awwwwe. I hope you feel better! You should get some rest if you have a really bad headache.

>>264
Thank you.
You're right. I should at least try to sleep.

Well, Good Night, Nora.
I'm going to bed. It seems the painkiller has just reminded of its role.
It was very nice talking to you.
Helped me forget about the headache.
I hope you get better soon and survive the weather :D

Just a little experiment...

What do you (anyone here) think of when you hear the phrase:
"Remember, remember, the fifth of November"?

Experiment? It sounds funny.
As for me, it's your birthday and you expect me to give you something
on the day. lol

Fifth of November is my birthday!
I think of a birthday party!

>>266
I think of "Why November? Could be September of December, too."

>>237
It just represents my laziness. You know..it's hard to press
Shift key by my fragile little left pinkie finger lol
Could you press it for me? then I can be Bernardo...hehe

>>270
I guess your room is messy because of your laziness.

>>266
I don't know what happened on November 5th, but I suspected
something historical happened on that day. I thought it was a phrase
from a book or a phrase of famous person.

I thouhgt, remember and November rhymes, but September, Ocotber
and December rhyme with remember, too so it doesn't have to be November
if rhyming is the effect they expect...

>>272
You are correct, it is an historical event. But also it was used in a recent
movie. My experiment was to see if the movie was recognised first, or the event.
If nobody gets it by noon my time tomorrow, I'll go ahead and explain both of
them.

>>267
Feel free to give me something!

>>268
Happy bir... wait, not yet!

It is from V for Vendetta! :D

あぁ、今日もノーラとスカイプしてチンコ勃起っ起。

>>274
Patrick said you like talking about ecchi stories.

More like Patrick does, rofl.

Norah is horny.

Shhh~

How big are your boobs?

How big are YOUR boobs?

>>273
To think you are British, I thought the phrase is from the movie
about Queen Elizabeth where the actor who played the Queen won the
Oscar. Probably I am wrong.

Patrick said that he wants you to give him a blow job.

Who doesn't? ;D~
Haha.

>>273
I know "September" by Earth Wind and Fire,
Do you remember..........September..........
but I have no idea about November.

>>273
Does it happen to be the movie you directed?

hey Norah
I'm sorry..
plz dont get angry..

I am not mad! > _<

Norah wants one too.

What do I want?

There are more things to do other than blow job as a 15 year olds. LOL
Actually, there is no blow job section on SAT.

Needle to say, you want THAT.

LOL NEEDLE TO SAY!

If I tell you my addy, do you send me a photo of you?
I'm just curious how you look.

Should I just post my pictures here?

Just a mistake Needless to say,it was "needless to say".

Blow jobs make the world go round.

It was a cute mistake :3

>>295
If you don't mind you can post here but that means more poeple see it.
If you send me a photo, only I can see your photo.

>>295
Go for it. That would be nice.

>>295
pleeease

Sad, isn't it?
In fact, I didn't know she suffered from cancer until today.

>>304
Hey. You are a cute girl. And I think your eyes are cute. Their shape
and size and color. Do you call the color green silver?

I don't know much about how MSN works. I have yahoo address but don't
have yahoo messenger.

>>306
What is your yahoo address then? We can talk through emails then.

And thank you! :D My eyes change colors in the light. Most of the time they are green.

I don't understand yours.
I wish that I can speak English very well.

>>304
Beautiful green eyes and dark hair.
V cute.
Two thumbs up.

>>309
Thank youuu! haha.

>>307
[email protected]　is my addy, which is full of spams
every day. I think I'm far too old than you think. And
you might think I'm pedophilia or something. So, it might be
better not to write to me.

>>311
How old are you? I like older boys.

ZARD DIED!?
WTF!!)U#RI#R

>>312
I'm too old to be called a boy. lol..
The reason I showed my addy is it's not fair not to.
Showing addy here in 2ch can promote getting more spams but it's OK
cause I don't use the addy anymore although it still works.

What's addy?
Penis?
It sounds creepy, you know.

>>314
Oh really? lol how old?
And if you want, you can give me your "real" email address in the message responding to mine if there is too much spam on the one you gave me.

>>316
There's something wrong with my PC, so I can't see your pictures clearly.
But you looks like Magibon.

>>320
Who is Magibon? :U

Magibon is a fairly cute American girl who entertains people with a series of
self-promotional video on YouTube. Speaks some Japanese.
Quite popular in 2ch and drops in here every once in a while.
Search her name on YouTube. You'll find her vid.

>>321
She youtubes. First she was uploading her videos there without Japanese
audience in sight. Then for some reason Japanese audience found out that
she likes Japanese pop culture, drama, music and such. Then Japanese
youtubers sent her message inviting her to 2 channel's thread made for her
in youtube watching board. She began interacting with Japanese there.
Then she was advised to make her own blog and she did.

ttp://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/magichan2007

She understands a little bit of Japanese but she counts heavily on
translation software, writing and reading Japanese.
You can see how she looks in her blog.

From what I see in the videos, she's very vain and tries too hard.

Right. She knows what would attract otaku people.
She is cool though.

What do you think of applemilk? I like her even less.

Oh man! I HATE applemilk. She is very condescending.

Here is a link to her, BTW.

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=applemilk1988

>>327
What about kerorin?

>>329
She looks chubby.
Why must all of these girls try to be Japanese? Can't they see that it isn't cute nor attractive?

>>330
I think it's just that they like japan and things Japanese. They
are influenced by Japanese drama, the way Japanese girl act and
speak and all. They like it when they act, speak like Japanese.
That's all, I guess.

>>331
I like anime, and if I were to learn Japanese I wouldn't talk like an anime character because of it's "influence" it has on me.
People are so willing to fit into stereotypes of what is attractive to a certain demographic, which I think is pretty ignorant.

Just because you are interested in something, doesn't mean you should dedicate your mannerisms to that hobby.

Do you know what I mean? In general it scares me that people are so impressionable.

I think the way that Japanese girls act is kind of funny, with those fake
high pitched voices they use.

>>332
I think I know what you mean, but if you ask me, I would say you think that
too seriously.

Kerorin and applemilk act and speak like Japanese but that's only when
they are talking in Japanese, which means when they have Japanese people
in mind. Isn't that natural when giving messages to Japanese people?
They are defferent when they are speaking in English.

If American kids like Britney Spears or whatever, they
try to dress like her, right? If you adore someone you want to be like
it, in their cases, they are into Japanese culture and they want to
be part of it, at least when they speak in Japanese.

>>333
They think the way they act and speak that way is cute.
But remember not all Japanese girls act and talk that way.
Some girls don't like it as you pointed out, either.

>>334
I understand, but what I'm saying is that I don't like it when people try to imitate others.
It's unavoidable though; we are all influenced by each other.

I wanted to be a spiderman and tried jumping from one building to another
and ended up breaking bones. I decided not to be influenced by comic books
since then. :p

Can anyone tell me the suitable Japanese words for "a certain demographic"?
I have a vague idea what it means, though.

>>338
I would say, ある年代

>>339
The term demographic isn't limited to age. It can mean a certain segment of the population chosen based on any shared characteristic they have.

How can I watch kerorin's vids?
Can't find any on YouTube.

To me, Applemilk sounds pretty intelligent in English, but not to the degree that she
could sound condescending. Seems like she's a bad actor, tho.
She sounds very sincere in Japanese, which I like most about her.
Doesn't speak like a anime character. So fluent in Japanese. I would say, her Japanese
is even beautiful. She looks just ok to me tho. lol

>>341
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=kerokerorin86

>>340
Then what about ある層? Any idea?

I think if you are in a certain demographic, people in the category
are in the same age bracket.

>>342
Thanks!

I like this girl alot! She is funny. I bet I would get the same impression when
she speaks English. Pretty laidback and not phony at all. Very natural Japanese.
I wonder if she lived in Japan for long. She could make a good comedian in Japan. lol

>>340
Thank you,sir. your explanation is very understandable and you have a good command
of English for a Japanese (?).
By the way,I learned the word "condescending" from Norah today but it seems to be a very
dangerous word because it has the opposite meanings.

>>337
hey jumping guy,take a look at this
ttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=515642196227308929

>>346
He is amazing. I know one performance group who are on tour showing their
physical ability like that. They seem to know how to release shock to
their knees. French rap is cool, too.

>>343
Demographics are often based on age, but they can be based on other things too.
For example, it is very common for demographics to be separated by sex as well.
Other common factors are race and economic class.

>>347
yeah, i don't remember well, but i watched on tv
that some french group parcouru (i don't remember the
past tense) around landmarks in london.

>>348
Thank you for your explanation.
I think I understand it better.

>>349
Maybe we are talking about the same group. I remember watching them
on morning TV show here in Japan introducing they would do their
production or something in Japan.

>>351
maybe... by the way, you seem to like france. well at least
french raps. do you know much about how the french presidential
election was broadcast in japan?

>>352
It's not that I particularly like France but that French rap is kind
of new to my ears and sounds good and fresh to me. I haven't had
opprtunities to listen to French rap. You are from France I take it?

Yeah. News about the French presidential election was aired some time
ago in Japanese media. As far as I remember, president wasn't decided
because none of the candidates gained more than 50% of vote, right?
And then vote was done again between the male candidate and the female
candidate. Then the male candidate won.

I heard he doesn't like sumo, saying just fat guys are wrestling or
something like that. He is right wing and doesn't agree with the idea of
accepting immigrants and has a tough stance against immigrants in France.

I know some French people really like Japanese anime and something like
Japanese festival where anime lovers gather were held in a venue and enjoyed
Japanese anime and pop culture. Many Japanese like France and France
is very popular as a tourist destination. And French brand name
products attract lots of young Japanese women.

>>353
well, there is always a second round for a french presidential
election. but anyway, yeah sarkozy won the election. he is short
and easy to be caricatured, like a barking dog. anyway, students
don't really like them because he wants to make france a police
state.

i need to pick up my laundry.

Is it true that you can see dogs' droppings in the streets of Paris?

>>356
Not only see them, but you can easily step on them!!

Geee. In Japan we take shoes off at home.

Seems like stepping on a dog's dropping and a part of the dog's poo are glued
to grooves of shoes cause much trouble in France.
You need to wash it with more care with runnig water.

i love dog's poo

Then paste it on a sheet of bread and have it every morning.

I love dog.
Tastes great.

>>360
Hey Mr Yamada! Fetch a cushion and give it to him.

>>361
Really? You must have been a dog in your previous life.
Because I often see dogs eat their own craps.

French guy!

She is half Japanese and half French. She is cute, isn't she?

We ate pickled herring for dinner, made by her grandmother

>>274
That is exactly the point of my experiment, thank you! The rhyme was used in the
movie 'V for Vendetta', yes, but it first came about in the 17th Century, when a
man named Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament during an assembly
with the king. However, the plot was discovered, and he was arrested before he could
ignite the basement full of explosives. This happened on November 5, 1605, and the event
is celebrated as 'Bonfire Night', or 'Guy Fawkes Night' here, by burning effigies of him
and setting off lots of fireworks.

"Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot"

I was seeing if people thought about the movie or the event first. Or were even aware of the event.

>>282
I haven't seen that movie yet, though I'm not really that interested. I think it puts Tony
Blair in a better light than in reality.

>>353
On the news here a while ago, there was a segment on 'Paris Syndrome':
ttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6197921.stm

>>366
Interesting. I wonder you guys celebrate it throughout UK on November 5th.
I noticed there are other words that rhyme.

"Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot"

treason and reason, plot and forgot. And maybe ever and remember, too.
I read wikipedia and found that Natalie Portman is in the movie.

I happened to read the story about the Paris syndrome, too. I first thought
the article is exaggerating. I should visit Paris to see how things are
in Paris with my own eyes.

>>367
Perhaps the article is a little biased, because Britain and France have had a lot of
conflict throughout their histories. Britain is known for disliking France and France
generally hates Britain. In a European poll, France was widely regarded throughout
Europe as having the rudest people. But I can't really say, because I have only driven
through there without having stopped.

As for your observation of the rhymes throughout that verse, you are correct. However,
on the matter of 'ever' and 'remember', I think they would rhyme if a normal Japanese
person said them out aloud, but in English, the 'v' is a much softer sound than the 'b'
so we do not regard it as such.

Do you like Natalie Portman?

>>361
I don't know if I should say this here because it is very racist, but in the UK,
our stereotype of Koreans are of people who eat cats and dogs.

>>168
Yeah. I do like her. The first time I saw her in a movie was when
she was in Leon, where main character is played by Jan Reno, French
actor. I just thought that the girl acts very well. Next time
I saw her was in Star Wars episode ??? and I didn't recognize she
was the girl in Leon and was very surprised she grew up to be a
beautiful girl. She was in Japanese shampoo commercial like many
Hollywood movie stars do as moonlighting.

She has looks and brain. She graduated from Harvard if I am not wrong.
I wonder if she entered the prestageous university like other students
do or she got a special advantage given by the uni.

Oops. I made a mistake.

X >>168
O >>368

>>370
Jean Reno is one of my favourite actors, and he was fantastic in Leon. However, though
he was good in the Hollywood remake of 'Godzilla', the movie was otherwise terrible.

I can't really remember many other movies she was in, other than Leon and the new Star
Wars prequels, but also was surprised to see her after a few years. As for her attendance
at Harvard, she was there based on qualifications, I believe, and graduated with a degree
in psychology.

I didn't realise many Hollywood actors did commercials over there.

but you know psychology is a doss subject. doesn't matter whether
she gets the degree from harvard or not. it is still a lame subject,
not at all useful in real life.

>>373
Some people make a lot of money from things that are completely useless in
real life. Look at Scientology for example. They use a lot of psychology in
order to brainwash people to give them money. A lot of psychologists are
given funding to carry out really stupid and useless experiments, such as
seeing how to traumatise a child.

Even my business and management education involves psychology to a degree,
to try and understand the needs and workings of your subordinates as well as
your clients.

yeah, and we scientists get less fundings. not only that,
it ends up closing down physical science departments around the uk.
that's annoying. have you read a recent article in Guardian
on this subject? i think it was about Kroto commenting on
the way science is underfunded in britain.

((/ デ.ㄟ) Why do they do that?

The mediocre tend to believe that they are underappreciated in their fields
despite the fact that only the genius innovators can make the best use out
of limited resouces to break the ground. Simply put, because they waste money.

wow

I will be happy.

somebody there?

maybe, maybe not

how about u?

>>372
You can watch their CMs, making appearance for Japanese companies.

ttp://www.japander.com/japander/

Actors from UK such as Sean Connery, Ewan Macgragor and musicians
Ringo Starr, Rod Stewart Sean Lennon, Jamiroquai and football players
Beckham made appearnace on Japanese TV CMs. And American actors such
as Natalie Portman's CM can be seen on the website. Kate Winslet also
was on a CM for shampoo but her clip is not on the website.

Excerpts from NY times.

“The days of Brad Pitt doing a commercial in Japan that he thought
no one was going to see are gone.” As recently as 2000, it was
common for celebrities to negotiate contracts that kept commercials
they made out of view in the United States. Many celebrities saw the
TV spots as potentially harmful to their reputations back home, much
the way Bill Murray’s character in “Lost in Translation” avoided
making domestic ads. Widespread Internet access, however, has made it
hard to limit ads to one country, and dozens of foreign commercials
starring actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney and
Jennifer Aniston have found their way online in recent years.

>>372
Oh, and you can watch Rawan Atkins's CM there, too.
Anyway lots of British and American actors are on Japanese CMs.


Whose CMs impressed you guys most, I wonder????

What's CM?

Commercial Messages

i can't get along with her anymore

I'm glad to hear that.

Me too! you can use my hole anytime you want.

ttp://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=269822

Japanese Riyo Mori won the Miss universe following the second place
of Kurara Chibana last year.

I know Miss universe is not decided based only on looks.
But I would say her looks is not so good. Her figure? I think it's
just average among contestants. I wonder why she could won the title.

I think in Japanese aethtetic standards, her face is not beautiful
nor cute. I guess her looks appealed to judges overseas.
Oriental beauty or something like that? Still, I don't
get it. What do you think? By the way, I am Japanese.

ttp://www.missuniverse.com/

Her face. I wouldn't mind going as far as to say she is ugly.
She doesn't look like Japanese but south East Asian.

>>410
Thank you very much for that, I had no idea any of these existed!

It is very unusual over here for celebrities to be used in advertising on
television. The only exception I can think of recently is David Hasselhoff
being used in an Internet Service Provider commercial.

Michael J Fox's CM made me cringe... it was very bad, and Harrison Ford's
was very unexpected. I have seen many of the people mentioned on Japanese
talk shows, so I guess 'Lost in Translation' wasn't far off from what happens
while they are over there. I find it quite uncomfortable seeing them play
along with the show without actually knowing what's going on though, such as
when David Beckham was on a food show with Utada Hikaru and TUNNELS.

Haha, just watched the Ringo Starr one, and the play on words with his name
was terrible, but made me laugh! The Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) CM was done
rather well.

How much does Yukorin minopolise in your heart?

Hi everybody, nice to see ya..

Sorry, I don't know what intership is. lol
Because my educational background is not so high.lol

Tell me what it is if you don't mind,

it is working in a company while you are still in college. So after graduated it is easier to find job, because we have work experience

Oh, I see, What do you major in at your college?

computer science. i'll be back(go to lunch)

How did you come to know 2ch, this board?

A few questions to you. Do you know that Japan's biggest SNS called mixi?
and its chief engineer is from Indonesia and he studied in Japanese uni?

Is it common that Indonesian elites go abroad for advanced education like
you? If so, US is the most popular place to study?

For your reference; ttp://www.answers.com/topic/batara-kesuma

I'm off to bed. ZZZZZZZZZ....

Wow, so you Martin intend to get a job in US , right?
In that case how does it be about VISA or passport.
Would you get a long term VISA or something like that?

Nice to meet you Martin n__n
Did you enjoy your memorial day weekend?

i know this forum from densha otoko ^.^

mixi? <i have not heard of it>

Is it common that Indonesian elites go abroad for advanced education like
you? If so, US is the most popular place to study?
< yes, many indonesian going to US or Australia to study abroad>

Wow, so you Martin intend to get a job in US , right?
<yep>

In that case how does it be about VISA or passport.
Would you get a long term VISA or something like that?
< if i get a job i could get a working visa, and after that green card. but i have to graduate first>

Did you enjoy your memorial day weekend?
<yes, really much, i went to Austin(about 2 hours) yesterday.>

>>454
Thank you for having a little chat with me,Martin.
Thanks to you, I gained a bit confidence of talking in English.
My nick name is micchan. I often come here to study English by watching
different types of English.
So,when I get a chance to talk to you again,It'll be my plesure.
But I learned one thing that is very important from a conversation with you.
That is, you can't keep on talking forever here because of 投稿規制（toko kisei).lol
I don't know how you say 投稿規制　in English though.
See you again!

you are welcome micchan,
toko kisei = it is regulation of how many you post the message???

>>421
Some of the CMs that website has are from 90s so they might look old
and less sophisticated besides bad qualities they originally have as a CM.
The impression I had when I saw Ringo Starr CM for the first time
back then is "OHHHHH the pun is something even kids can come up with.. Too
rediculous...To make use of the pun they asked Ringo Starr to make
appearnace on it????"

His Last name is used as a pun , too in the CM just in case
you didn't notice. Starr sounds a bit like 擦った（すった）, past form of
擦る（する）, which means "grate."(in this CM's case, grate apples)
It's apple bevearage and they grated apples to make the product.

You watched David Beckham when he was on Tunnels show with Utada Hikaru!
I did, too. Actually, that's not a food show. That's a popular "segment"
of the Tunnels show. Segment may not be the right word because it occupies
more than half of the show. When a special big guest comes to the program,
they spend the whole show for the segment.

Maybe you recognized the pun and know about the Tunnels show, but
I tried writing additional info above. Anyway you know a lot about
Japanese TV shows. I know what the movie, Lost in translation is about
but haven't watch it. I think I should watch it.

keira, tell me when you arrive at Narita airport.
I'll have Japaense government prepare for special ninja task force.

Don't forget to write US OTAKU on your forehead as a sign.

>>457
Thank you for the extra information! I did not catch the pun about grating in Ringo
Starr's CM. And you're right about the pun on Ringo - it was stupid, but stupid in
a way that made me laugh. It works well with British humour because, for some reason,
we just find silly things really funny, which is why we like things such as Monty
Python, Fawlty Towers, BlackAdder, etc. It's a little bit immature, I know, but we
don't really mind as long as we can laugh at it.

I didn't realise that was just a segment of Tunnels' show, since it lasted so long,
but that's good to know also, thank you. I enjoyed when they used to do spoofs of other
television shows and movies, or even promotional music videos.

Oh well, because you gave me a lot to watch, I'll return the favour:
ttp://www.tv-links.co.uk/show.do/1/73

You seem to know a lot about Japanese TV shows to the extent you can
be a commentator of them. You must have watched the drama 電車男, or
train man. The actor who were in the leading role was on of of the Tunnels's
spoofs when he was a little kid.

And thanks for the link. Red Dwarf. I felt familiar when I watched
one of the videos you linked to. I searched and found out that it was aired
on NHK before. That's why I felt familiar. I think I have watched it on NHK
before at night. It was funny. I found that there is even a Japanese
fan's website of the comedy.

I read somewhere that BBC announced they make all of their archives
available on the Internet in the future. It's not easy for me to understand
dramas, comedies in English but I thought it's a great project.

>>462
i don't think that's going to happen. BBC is not that generous.
hit comedies like red dwarf, black adder etc etc are still
very expensive to get on dvd. by the way, i love part troll by
bill bailey. you can see some clips on youtube.

>>464
yeah and that was 4 years ago. more importantly, greg dyke was kicked out of bbc. so there, nothing is going to happen.

>>460 - >>462
I'm glad you liked the link!

>>462
You're right, I have seen 電車男, but still had no idea that he was that child in
that parody sketch! He had bushy eyebrows!
I'm quite surprised that a British comedy show was aired over there though! As I
mentioned last thread, the only show of yours we got was 風雲!たけし城, as well as
clips from other shows on this programme showing TV from around the world. It's a
shame, because I find that British and Japanese humour can be quite similar sometimes.

Thanks for the compliment too, but there is still a lot I haven't seen.

Unfortunately, >>466 is correct, and Greg Dyke has since resigned as Director General
of the BBC, so I'm not sure about the status of that project.

>>463
Ah, I'm very surprised you've heard of Bill Bailey! Part Troll was one of his live stand-up
comedy performances. He also appears on many comedy quiz shows, such as the music show 'Never
Mind the Buzzcocks':
ttp://youtube.com/watch?v=POKeGdqNOJQ
or 'QI', a quiz show mainly about English language:
ttp://youtube.com/watch?v=K6wNWeGM3nA

>>463 >>467
I see. Then the chances are the project has disappeared into thin air.

>>467
Was 風雲!たけし城 aired on BBC or on another private TV station?
I watched Dragon ball on the website you linked to above.
The voice of English version Goku is a little bit husky but not
far from the original Goku's voice. I thought the voice actor catches the
character of Goku very well.

norah is my friend.
she often call me on skype!
she is sexy girl.

>>469
Are you a high school student?

>>468
風雲!たけし城 was aired on a cable channel called 'Challenge', which often showed game shows,
mainly physical ones. However, recently, a channel called 'ftn' (I have no idea what it stands
for...) licensed it from Challenge and aired it on free digital TV. Our version is different
though, and the commentary is dubbed over by Craig Charles (from Red Dwarf) and they cut out
quite a few of the sketches to fit it into almost half an hour.

I don't really know much about anime or Dragon ball, but people here generally prefer to watch
foreign shows in the language which they were intended, and to have subtitles instead of dubs
in the language of the country showing it.

Ah, talking about dubbing and voices reminded me of another Japanese show that was aired here
and was extremely popular (and still is), called 'Monkey'. I believe it was first released as
西遊記. The English language dub was produced by the BBC in 1979 and the entire series has
recently appeared on DVD.

YEs yes
That was Sakai Masaaki's version of Saiyuki. That show was realy good.

>>471
I see. Cable channel and then digital TV.

I personally prefer subtitled version to dubbed version because I
can enjoy actors' voice. I think acting involves tone of voice so dubbed
version decrease the pleasure of enjoying original acting.

When a Hollywood movie is in theater, there are two versions,
subtitled and dubbed versions. I always watch a subtitled version.

>>472
That's the one! I have a couple questions about it though. Was it supposed to be often funny?
I can't tell, because the English dub might have been modified from the original in translation.
Also, was the original theme song in Japanese or English? I really enjoyed that show too.

>>473
I agree completely, the original voices usually carry the intended amount of tone and emotion,
whereas dubs usually lack the character.

Over here, when foreign movies are shown in a theatre, they usually have just subtitles, but
there are exceptions - such as when, for example, a new Hayao Miyazaki movie comes out, it is
dubbed by 'major' actors. I wish they would release two versions like they do there.

It is a shame that foreign movies aren't more popular here, because we only get a very limited
selection on DVD, usually only by a few directors. Kitano Takeshi is easy to find, and I usually
enjoy his movies, but Miike Takashi is also easy to find and although I enjoy some of his movies,
I cannot watch too much at once. It is strange how Fukasaku Kenta keeps getting Battle Royale 2
re-released even though he is a terrible director (Sukeban Deka remake was terrible too!). Oh!
Kurosawa Akira is very widely released here, but the DVDs are usually more expensive for some reason.

>>471
Hello there.
Oh, you know many Japanese Director. Then what do you say about Iwai Shunji?
Did you ever seen? If not, I strongly reccomend his.
He sketches something like adolescence or so, that' why over the differece of culture
people would be moved, I think.
His movies are worth to watch, I bet.

>>475
Hello!
I have heard about Iwai Shunji - he did '四月の物語' and 'Love Letter', right? However, I
have never actually seen any of his movies. Thank you very much for the recommendation though,
because I always enjoy exploring new movies. They'll be impossible to find in shops here, but
will search around elsewhere. They sound exactly like a type of movie I would enjoy. Thanks again.

>>474
The theme song, was that "Monkey Magic"?
Then, it was all in English.
Another song from that show "Gandara" has both English and Japanese version,
because the band "Go-Die-Go" (a pun with an emperor's name "Godaigo") was
a band with 2 Americans and 3 Japanese.
Oh, they also sang the theme song for an animation series "Ginga Tetsudo 999,"
both in English and Japanese, and both the animation and the song are
very popular.

I like "Mr Bean" since I don't have to pay attention to English. lol

>>470
yes. why?

I would like Americans in this thread to do me a favor.
In a thread in English board, a Japanese high school chemistry teacher
posted a message win which he said he is interested in how chemistry is
taught in American high school. So he wants to get a chemistry textbook
used in American high school.

I read his post and searched for a publishing company that publishes
high school chemistry textbook. I found this company.
ttp://www.hrw.com/about/index.htm
And textbooks they publish.
ttp://www.hrw.com/science/chemistry/index.htm

Would you tell me what chemistry text book you used or using when you
are a high school student? I'd appreciate it if you give me links on
Amazon or textbooks publishers website. Thank you.

im japonais. sorry.

find it on www.half.com in textbook section

>>474
> Was it supposed to be often funny?

I'm not 472 but If I remember correctly, there is a comedy factor
dotted in an episode. I mean when Goku is using his long stick, he
accidentally hit himself on the head with it. Hmmm. But this has not something
to do with dubbing. That's what you can tell from his action. Another thing
I remeber is the pig-like man (ちょはっかい）often plays a role of laughing stock
in the drama. I mean, they teased him for eating too much food and
such. Well, I am in my thirties so my momery is blur and I think
I watched it when I was around 10 years old so I remember I was
a little scared of monsters that I appear in the drama.

Yes I do. This is a pen. Nice to meet you.

I heard that Japanese people have abbreviated laughing online to "w".
I think it's a good idea. That way, whenever people type in a web address,
they start with "www", and know not to take the internet seriously.

>>477
Thank you! I never knew anything about the band that performed the theme song! So
they kept the original theme in the dub. I have been looking for more of their songs
but so far have only been able to find about eight different versions of 'Monkiey Magic'.

>>478
Always a good reason! There tends to be quite a lot of 'visual' comedy in Japanese and
British shows, which makes it easy for people of any nationality to enjoy.

>>483
You are correct, I guess this ties in with my reply to >>478 as well. I think the dub stays
quite true to the original script, but sometimes the way the voices are done are a little
inappropriate with the scene and so makes it a little funnier than it should be. Pigsy (the
pig-man's name in our version) stays true to his role as the greedy fool.

I guess at some point in everyone's childhood, they are frightened a little by some characters
in some show. I don't really remember much of the shows I watched as a child, though, but I do
remember having bad dreams a couple times because of the 'Care Bears'.
ttp://youtube.com/watch?v=wfsrjGb7LcE
Watching that again reminds me why I was a little frightened. And I don't mean of the monsters.

>>484
Is this a pen? The cat is blue. How do you do?

How long had you loved Yukorin before her scandal was exposed to many people.
Or do you still love her?

get out from here! you christian zionists:the root of all contention.

god chosen people? resurrection of jew jesus christ?

give me a break! you idiot!! crazy!!! it's 2007.
2007th days after jew-selfproclaimed mesia jesus christ
died.

ex-boyfriend the other day.
He has asked someone's help and advice, like me...
Because he is really worried about his job these days.
Such as he's thinking of going to quit his job and so on.
To tell the truth, I broke up with him about 5 months ago.
He's 5 years yonger than me. He graduated from university
in Nagoya,and decided to start new job in Osaka last spring.
After few months later, he got transferd to Nara.
He was really busy from then on. (He is still busy now）
He couldn't take a day off,and had to work overtime.
So it was so hard to keep relations between him and me
at that time.
But we still keep in touch by e-mail once in a while.

I wish I could help his matter. But I couldn't advice to him
easily... I hope to it turns out well!

I'm sorry for writing my poor English diary.
Thank you for reading.

There was also a new versin (remake with different cast) of Saiyuki.
The cast includes the Densha-otoko and a member of SMAP.
Here is the theme song for the new version.
The band is called Monkey Majik, I think it's also a mixture of Japanese and
Americans.

Good Evening everyone. Sorry I've been so absent lately. For some reason I don't quite have anything to say. >.>
Anyone have plans this weekend? I intend to study my Japanese like crazy!!

>>499
How many days do you have until you come here?
Can you come to 2ch while you are in Japan?
Have you hired ninja already to protect your mom and you from vicous sumurai?

>>499
>I intend to study my Japanese like crazy!!

Go for it!!
Your vist to Japan must be really approaching!

>>500
>>501
Yes, it's in a couple of weeks, so I'm excited, but I'm also nervous because I get frustrated when I get my japanese messed up. u_u;

I don't think I'll come to 2ch while in Japan. I'd rather leave my laptop at home, since it's such a burden to carry when traveling.

No, I haven't hired a ninja, they are too expensive. Maybe if we wear wigs we will blend in with the natives and pass by unnoticed.>:D
If worse comes to worse, Optimus Prime will save me.

>>502
I wish you had a cell phone that can be used in Japan, too.
2ch is accessibale from a mobile phone so we could read your travel story
live.

Optimus Prime(I googled it) might save you when you are in danger.
Taking Billy the Kid with you is a samrt move.

I think "Billy" from "Billy's boot camp" is even mightier.

I think you are a stalker and nerd of Yukorin.

Take a hillbilly with you.
I think he'll kick their ass.

In a few months I will haven't had a girlfriend for my entire life of 38 years!
It's misery, inferno.
But my Emma watson is the only angel who can heal my heart. I want to marry her.

I am shotacon. and u?

and I am NOT Imae fan. and you?

>>499
keira, where do you come from?

>>482
Thanks for your response.

What I don't know is when you say textbook, it always means textbooks
used in school. I searched on the net and there seems to be a textbook
for grown-ups. What he needs is a chemistry textbook that's actually
used in high school.

Anyway thanks for the link.

admire cho!!!!!!!!! he is a martyre!!
he died for you!!!!!!!!!!

Margaret Cho?
Didn't know she had a sex change op. :p

no!!!!!!!!!1 cho of virginia tech!!!!!!!!!

oh that one...he was just another disturbed kid who went postal, that's all.
I wouldn't think he 'died' for me, no way.
besides, a martyr wouldn't go around shooting people.

really? how about adolph hitler?
he killed millions of people. but he killed himself just
like cho! muhammad killed tens of thousands of people,
but he is great.
difference is only that they were killed or not.

the number of people they killed is also differnent.
the greater ,the greater they are. hummmmm.
stalin and mo are the greatest. mo is not handsome. he is not great though.

>>497
Thanks very much for the links! I had completely forgotten about the ending
theme for Saiyuuki and how nice it was. However, 'Galaxy Express 999' was a
little bland for my tastes, but 'Holy and Bright' was also nice.

Might I ask about your taste in music?

>>498
Thank you for this information. I had no idea there was a remake of Saiyuuki,
but I'm always wary of dramas with band members in because sometimes they can't
really act well and are only there to attract their fans to watch the show for
TV station ratings... saying that, though, I have enjoyed some shows and movies
with music artists in them, such as 'Nana'. I would mention Ryoko Hirosue, but
do not know if she did acting or singing first... but whichever, 'Poppoya' was
a fantastic movie.

>>487, >>505
I did a search for 'Yukorin' and found some girl who talks like an annoying six
year old child. What does she do and why does she speak like this? She's not as
annoying as ttp://youtube.com/watch?v=eQZ0Bgv_O_4 though. Kana's 'singing' makes
my ears bleed.

>>518
>why does she speak like this?
why? don't you know? she is doing that somewhat intentionally.
there shoule be another female talent in UK
who speak childish to attract men.

kazuki saya will be a big rival for yukorin.

>>518
i think godaigo is one of the few japanese bands that
is acceptable by westerm rock standard.
their melody,their english level,their manners,etc.

how do you think?

>>518
As far as I know, Yukorin is popular among Japanese Otaku and men who is
kind of like lolicon. As you recognize, she talks like a kid although
she is over 20 years old. As someone pointed out above, she plays her
character and makes her voice to sound like a innocent girl and
that's what appeals to Otaku and lolicon guys.

Her face is cute and plus her voice and she says she is from Colin planet.
It is of course a imaginary planet that even appeals to her fans.
While she tries to be pure and innocent throughout her carrer, Media reported
that she goes out with a Japanese comedian and that made commotion of
her fans because she is believed to be vergin among fans but there's
a possibility that she is not. Her fans feel kind of betrayed by her.
Verginity is very important for Otaku because it's a symbol of
pureness.

She has released CDs and she has been on some CMs, on drama
(not many I guess she is a bad actor.) and TV vaiety shows. Her photo
book is very popular among otaku although her boobs are not big at all.

I don't think she would get a fan base among western countries where
mature and sexy woman is considered to be attractive. Yukorin is on
the opposite end compared to the Japanese woman who won Miss Universe
this year.

I will be happy!

I will be happy.

>>521
You must be NEET and/or Otaku yourself.
Thank you.

Where is this Korin planet?
I will send my starfleet to destroy it immediately.

>>525
According to Yuko-rin, the Korin planet is approx. 20-30 minutes from
TBS or Fuji TV station by horse carriage.

>526
Sorry, not an ordinary horse carriage, but a "Strawberry" horse carriage.

Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates and Apple cofounder Steve jobs met for the

Wait... San Diego? Keira is from San Diego. It must be especially big news there.

(:D)|￣|＿ ﾁﾗ

>>532
Sorry, is it bad that native speakers sometimes come here? Though it may be
embarrassing for some non-native people to post English here, it should not
really matter - we *do not* laugh at peoples' mistakes. If anything, we can
try and help if anyone has a question about grammar or even just meanings.
It also gives a chance to practice English in a typical method of conversation.

>>519
Ah, now I'm starting to understand a little, I think. I wasn't really aware that
some people found a childish manner of speaking attractive. It's very different
in the UK - girls try to sound more mature than they are in order to try and
attract men.

>>521
Again, as above, it's been a bit confusing. This area of culture is very different
to ours. I think if we had such things as photobooks in the UK, many feminist groups
would protest and complain.

<continued...>

It's difficult to say what is preferred in the West - it seems quite evenly split
between people who like 'cute' and those who prefer 'sexy'. From the 80's to the mid
90's, there seemed to have been an image of the 'perfect woman', which is when supermodels
became very popular, but those days are over now. Personally, I find women who are my
height or taller a little creepy...

>>520
You are right - their style is similar to many western bands from the 70's. These days,
however, it seems that a lot of Japanese bands have a western style of rock, but the only
reason they are not commonly listened to in the west is because of a language barrier. One
group, however, really stands out to me with its similarity to European rock, and that is
403 (ttp://www.gun149.com/~nekonyan/ - I believe they did the music used in 'Nightmare City'
flash animation), who reminds me strongly of an Italian group called 'Rhapsody'.
I do not really wish for Japanese bands to try and become more western in style. It is the
difference which interests me, which is why I do not really enjoy R&B, hip-hop or rap in
almost any language.

>>534
Let me try translating what >>532 is saying.
"If you are not a native English speaker, write "non-native" in
a blank where you are supposed to write your name because you non-native
speakers are annoying. Non-native speakers' English should be so bad
that I can't learn from their English and their posts are diturbing."

He is Japanese like me and he can't tell which post is
from a native speaker and which is not. So he is kind of nervous
about acquiring bad English by reading non-native's English without
knowing it is non-native's English. He just wants to read native speakers'
natural English. So don't worry. It's not that he doesn't want native
English speakers to come here.

>>536
Ohh, I see. Thanks very much for clearing this up for me. My Japanese is still
really quite poor and I guess I had a bit of trouble with some words.

>>532
I'm sorry if what I said was a bit harsh - I didn't understand completely. Haha,
I'm a learner too, just of a different language.

By the way, who is White?

>>524
I'm not Otaku. ^_^ I just wrote what I know about Yukorin and Otaku.

>>535
Yeah. There sure were super model craze back then. I read somewhere
that too skinny models are banned for some fashion shows because
they can give wrong messages to girls that the skinner, the better.
It's terrible for girls to have eating disorder.

I'm not 520 but checked the website you linked. I found out that
403 is not a band. He says there are some people who help him make his
tunes but they are not band members. 403 is solo. He is a university
student. He has talents not only in music but in gymnastic and all.

Nope, I'm not in San Diego. Although I've been there a few times. I went on the 80year-old rollercoaster and thought I was going to fly out... >__>;;

>>553
Isn't Billy the Kid an outlaw from Frontier Era? I mean the age of
Wild west. As far as I know he is a master of shooting.

>>518
Wow...Kana.
I haven't heard of her in quite a long time.
Many people say they hate her singing, but I think it's rather unique and it depends on the person.
Just like how some people like Melt Banana, even though they are considered "Noise/Rock".
sometimes the singing doesn't matter too much.

>>545
Oh yes fashion magazines get complaints when they have girls that are too skinny in their advertisements.
In the 90's, there was a slang for this style, called "Heroin Chic"
Since the girls were really skinny and emanciated with dark makeup on their eyes, people said it looked like they were on drugs (like heroin) and it was a bad influence for young women.

>>554
Is he? Wow, I'm really out of the loop. I don't watch TV much...

>>556
Noooooooooooooooo.
He is not a charcter of TV drama! He exsited in real life.
But I guess there were some dramas based on his life cause he is
a legendary outlaw gunman. ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_the_Kid

The point is he would be the man who can save you from Samurai attack.

I didn't know Billy the Kid was real. I thought he was just made up. lol

Who gives adam?

Why girl idols and models quite often betray her fans like us?
They marry rich businessman, professional sportsman, or a poor but handsome musician?( except Yukorin, she sexed with a foolish comedian)
I wish Nishiyama Maki not betray me, and marry me.

Nishiyama Maki won't betray us.
She is too godess-like to do such a thing.
But the marrying part, I'm not sure.

I googled her.
She looks funny, which has already betrayed me...

But I wouldn't mind sticking my nose into her armpit tho.

>>563
Shut up, Yukorin nerd!
Topic on your Yukorin had already faded away!

>>545
Haha, I was a bit suspicious because of the website having pictures of the same person,
so thanks for confirming it. He must be quite skilled with instruments and editing, too,
to be able to mix everything into a complete and decent sounding song.

>>545, >>555
There's been quite a bit of media coverage over here about the state of models, after
a girl (also a model) died trying to become thinner. I'd heard about the fashion shows
in Madrid and Milan, and their ban on any model under the BMI (body-mass index) of 18
(18.5 is the lower limit for normal weight/mass).

>>555
That's true - 'each to their own'. I'm sure if I made a peanutbutter, anchovy and durian pie,
there'd be at least a few people in the world who would enjoy it...
Guess I'm just not really into it because the whole pretending to be a little girl thing doesn't
appeal to me - though I do like old fashioned clothing and especially hats!

>>557
I'm sorry, but the 'otaku' in my country do not agree with you. They say that the Samurai
would just use their swords to cut the bullets in half. I think Darth Vader could give them
a good fight, or maybe even Jesus.

Jesus couldn't beat Darth Vader.
Darth Vader works for the Emperor, and the Romans kicked Jesus'
passive ass.

Who is Jesus?
Is he a superhero?

He died like Cho Seung Hui.
That's what Cho said in his video anyway.

OK.. so who is ChoSeungHui?
Is he yet another superhero??

>>569
Yes. He flew all the way from Korea to liberate Virginia from the
rich charletans.
Although he tripped over, fell on a bullet, and died. Stupid bastard.

He can fly, then. That's sweet. But, does he have like other super powers?
No super strength? He died because he tripped over onto a bullet?
Viginia was like attacked by the rich charletans?
That's kinda lame as a plot, you know.. like kinda?

'Hulk' from 2003 was on television a couple days ago, and it was one of
the worst movies I have ever seen. Not as bad as 'Godzilla' from 1998
though.

I saw the Hollywood version of Godzilla, too. I don't remember its
storyline, though. Although I knew that Hollywood Godzilla looks completely
different from the original Godzilla(Japanese Godzilla) in advance,
I was surprised at how it looks. I liked the theme song of Godzilla
by Jamiroquai for some reason, so I bought the santra which includes
the Jamiroquai's song.

I haven't seen Hulk, but I've heard that it's full of CG.

cho is everywhrere. he is just a start. next will follow his
wishes. he is the real strong man.

he didn't ally with anybody. a lone wolf,cho.
bin laden is weak, coward,dispicable. cowards usually get together.

get out by yourself!!!!!!! fight
by yourself, never use weapons except handguns.

stand like a man. like cho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bin laden is hiding behind terrorist's backs just like little kid.

bin laden! why not do suicide attack for youself????? why force someoneelse to do it?
you are as dirty as arab millionares you thought vulgar.

you are never comparable to cho. far lower than cho. cho has guts!!

bin laden looks like jew jesus christ. no wonder they have common ancester....

now they are fighting ,killing each other. ridiculous. cho will rule!!!

cho rules!

keira, where do u come from?

I'm bored...

>>583
Do you dance?

give it to me babe

>>584
It takes two to dance.

>>584
Is cricket sports for upper class?
Is it only in Physical edcation's carriculum of prestagious schools?
I heard that its rule is too complicated to understand well.
Is that the case?

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

ur outa my sight

>>588
Pet shop boys.

>>590
hehe, yeah.
I wonder if they're making anything new lately?

let's talk about cho!

>>921
I don't know. Even if they release a new song, I don't think it sells.
Maybe all they can do is to release an album which is a single collection.

they are very gay

From fbi
http://sanfrancisco.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/2007/sf030707a.htm

>>595
So Mr. Lau is a pimp who got busted in SF.
What's the big deal about it?

>>587
Cricket is a sport for people who like to think they're upper class and think they are
superior because they understand the rules. The rules don't make sense though, and nobody
really understands them. Anyone who says they do is a liar.

However, cricket is also what baseball was derived from, after rounders.

It's not just in the curriculum of prestigious schools though; even mine had it.

if nobody can understand the rules, why can cricket players actually
play? mysterious.

I will be happy!

mainly because they are show offs

>>597
I see. Thank you. As I heard it, it seems like its rules are hard to understand.
As for the origine of baseball, there seems to be a few possibilities.

I read Guardian online and found that there's a controversy over channel4's
show about Princess Diana's death. If there's something like conspiracy
involved, that's horrible.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

>>601
There have been rumours of conspiracy ever since the event happened, but it blew
over after a while. Some people think it was orchestrated by the Royal Family or
the government in order to get rid of Dodi al'Fayed, since if he and Diana married,
the father-in-law of Harry and William would be Muslim. I don't really see how that
would matter though, as the royal family holds no real power anymore.

I still just believe that the driver was intoxicated, and took far too careless measures
in order to try and escape from the paparazzi, resulting in the accidental deaths of Diana,
Dodi and the driver. But then, who really knows?

>>598
Ahhh, but can they play, or are they just making things up, since nobody could really be sure?
I guess they also want money and fame.

>>597
If cricket is for people who think they're upper class, then why are
us convicts so good at it?

Cricket is absolutely not known in Japan, you know.
Many people don't even know cricket exists, you know.
Instead baseball is quite popular in Japan.
Those are the two lamest sports. you know.
The Olympics commitee or something even has decided to exclude baseball for its lameness.

i don't know, you know.



who knows!

>>605
I don't know nothing of Cricket except its' name
I thins this low profile of the sport drews less commercial interest .

>>604
Sorry, the upper class thing really only applies to Britain. Fortunately for us though,
you Aussies always annihilate us at it and put us back in our place. Which is also good
because it means less television coverage.

>>605
I'm not surprised it's relatively unknown over there. It's one of the most boring sports
known to man.
As for the Olympics, people in London don't even know how to design a good logo for when
the Olympics will be held there in 2012: ttp://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A23431826

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/43005000/gif/_43005619_london_new_pink_203.gif
Hey, this logo is cool. I love it.
It looks like the woman on the right with her hair olympiced is giving the london guy on the left a blow job.
It's probably like advocating for the importance of cocksucking.

It does look like it. lol

>>603
Thanks for sharing your opinion about Diana's death.

When >>604 called themselves convicts, I didn't understand what
he/she is talking about. Then, when >>608 mentioned on Aussies,
that rang a bell.

What I thought is that studying English is not just about grammar
and vocabulary building.

Some voices on anti-globalization and new-liberaism idea are getting popular among the poor.
But I ain't an economist, so I'm not sure for them.

hello, I am korean I live in Korea. I am English major...Nice to meet you.

Some day, there are few poors in the world. But there are a lot of slaves
who might be oppressed by the rotten capitalism and the globalisation made for
the have and their greedy. I am to be sure about that;not wrong at all.

Who is the most pretty Korean girl idol?

Anti-globalization is deeply related to regionism and thus nationalism,
which is easy to attract the poor who are uncontended with the status quo.
Not sure what new-liberalism is tho.

Yes, one day everyone will live like people do in Korea.
We'll starve and have no freedom, but we'll be able to sing non-stop
all day about how that faggot Kim Jong-Il is so great and how great
it feels to get screwed over by him.

may i speak

I want to see my neighborhood on the "Google Earth"screen.
But my PC is not able to download it.What a shame!

>>619
Just type in your address at
http://maps.google.co.jp/maps?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=ja&tab=wl&q=
and you'll get the same image as you do with Google Earth.

oops, I forgot,
you need to click on 航空写真 to see the photo.
have fun!

What the fuck are you guys talking about?
It's sick!!

korea has cho. that's the decisive difference from japan.

japan can't catch up with korea in every aspect ,all the time.

what subject right now?

Okay, then I'll explain to you what's happening, kid.
There's a free downloadable software called Google Earth, developed by Google,
and it allows you to see satellite images of literally anywhere on earth;
Tokyo, Paris, London, New York, Bagdhad, Jerusalem, anywhere.
619 was lamenting because somehow he couldn't download it, so I told him
that there's an alternative.
Get it?

It is strange, because Google Maps doesn't have high resolution imagery of my
town, yet Google Earth does.

What's strange?
Google earth is superiosrasefasd

Google Earth is great. Now NEET can see what they're missing, in the
comfort of their own home.

I look at my house and am amazed at how colourful the outside world is.
One day I will return to the sun land myself.

>>625
His PC's spec doesn't match the qualifications of Google earth.
Mine, too. Even if I intalled it and run it, my PC would freeze.

Get a new computer, lol~~

Is anyone here familiar with the J-pop singer Mikami Chisako.
There is a song by her that I have been searching for a long time,
almost 2 years. Maybe someone here can help me?

Probably you'll have to search another millions of years because
nobody knows such a minor singer.

Hello :D

>>631
I haven't heard her name and searched on the net, and found out
that her name is 三上ちさこ if her name is written in characters
used in Japan. Do you read hiragana and kanji?

ttp://www.universal-music.co.jp/universal-gear/chisako_mikami/disco.html
This page is on her label's website and shows her discography.
You see blue letters next to each sigle, album and DVD jacket.
BLue letters show titles of each single, album and DVD.

If you click a title, you are lead to another page that shows
all songs name included in the single, album and DVD.

On this two pages you can listen to samples of her songs.
ttp://www.universal-music.co.jp/universal-gear/chisako_mikami/POCE3506.html
ttp://www.universal-music.co.jp/universal-gear/chisako_mikami/POCE3507.html

I hope the song you are looking for is one of these samples. If you
remember where the song was played or more information about the song
you'd better tell us for better searching.

>>633
Hi!
Did you finger your clit one day of the past week?
Have you played cyber? If so tell me what it was like, how you felt?

>>631
ttp://youtube.com/results?search_query=mikami+chisako
ttp://youtube.com/results?search_query=fra-foa&search=Search

On youtube you can listen to some of her songs and the songs of
the band called fra-foa, which she was a member.

>>636
Wow! thx for these boring clips!!

>>635
That's a strange thing written.

I wonder why clits exist..
What's the reason?
At least, it has nothing to do with our reproduction, right?

Only serious heitai would be here on such a lovely day.

>>636
They did a pretty nice job of visual effects on some clips,
though her every other song sounds alike.

I think it has a lot to do with our reproduction.
If clits didn't exist, women would hate to or be reluctant to have intercourse with men.
As a result, the population of human beings would decrease to the extent that they finally die out.
It's a plan of nature.

Hallo! Native speakers!

Are there any threads like 2ch in England or America?
I seek for the Server gathering threads where we talk about any topics.

my anus bleeds when i shit
how do i fix this, it's getting really annoying
also, theres a big obvious peeping hole in the toilet at the station i use
if i see someone peeping through the hole, can i stab his eye?
do i get arrested? for stabbing a peeping homo's eye?

First you should quit anal sex.
Also stop flirting with homos in the bathroom.
Then you'll be alright.

>>643
Probably the most popular online community in English is http://myspace.com/
There's also 4-ch.net which is an English copy of 2-ch, but only otaku hang out there. (Otaku in English has been
adopted to mean someone who is obsessd with Japan especially anime and manga ;))

Just think of a topic you're interested in, go to google, and search
"<the topic you're interested in> forum" or something and stuff will probably come up :).

>>645
I'm not 644 but
I've never seen a great doctor like you in my life.
Where did you get PHD? If you run a clinic, I'd definately visit you.

100

>>646
ooh great! you are very kind man.

I always become weary with searching Forum i interested in
because i dont have English skill so much >< .

thx u!

You are a very kind man.

I am Japanese, and you are my Valentine. Therefore I live in the USA.

I am idiot.
I can't get job.

*sigh* You guys haven't changed at all...haha
but makes me laugh...
have a nice day...opps the day is almost over haha

Fuckin high

I prefer Hyakkin!

I'm high on life!
I think I'm ODing!
blarrrghhharrarrrgggghhhaaarrrb

Kaho chan is mine!

hmm.. Is there any intelligent being here?

>>658
Including you, nope.

i smell something funky.

>>653
You've changed a lot. Getting even older..

G8 members is working harder to solve NEET problem in Germany.
All leaders except Japan have the idea that NEET should be saved and given them jobs.
But prime minister Abe only advocates that they should be sent off to the compulsory camp.
If you were a neet, you wanna go to the camp?

>>662
Actually ，they aren't talk about NEET ?
I think they are talking about CO2

They're talking about nothing.
They just pretend like they're talking about something. That's all.
So folks, Neet won't be saved anytime soon.

>>663
Not carbon dioxide, but greenhouse gas. Don't you read newspapers?
Last week, Mr. Bush, for the first time in his presidency, said that
the greenhouse gas emmision must be controlled in order to prevent
climate change. Bush was trying to take control over other European
countries in this issue and that annoucement is the direct reason why
they are talking about GHG at the G8 meeting.

CO2 and NEETs are the same problem who should be solved immediately!
Only Abe has hawkish idea while other leaders have dove methods, in order to solve neets.

When on the earth do you keep your loyalty to Mr. Abe?
Quit it, or you would be gone to compulsory camp!!

Abe is too stupid to know anything about global warming.
His IQ is below 90.

so u think u can dance.

Actually Bush has beein talking about global warming for some time.
He used to deny the existence of global warming, like some republicans still do, you know.
But his IQ is below 85, so he doesn't quite understand it.

My IQ accounts for over 200.

Mine is over 300.

hitler's iq is over 400.

>>665
Green House gas?
What the hell is that?
Do you mean vegetables produce toxic gas in the green house?
FU!!

Why would any sane person ever put their faith in another human who claims that a higher power speaks directly to or through them?
It is the crudest, most obvious con ever invented. So sad.

>>661
time paases equally to everyone in this world.
if I get older, you also get older...kekeke

Damn, you guys are so stupid. You guys do nothing but to pretend like you know english.

>>677
I'm not pretending. ;]
Hello everyone!

>>678
Hi there!
What the hell are you doing still in the US?
The rainy season is just around the corner in the Tokyo area.
Hurry up, and get your butt over here!

Hmm...
I thought that since it's past noon in Japan, more people would be on...It's 1am here. xD

I can't help but think that your mom chose the worst time to visit
Japan. Rainy Season. But even in Rainy season that lasts about a month,
there are clear days dotted. I hope you are lucky enough blessed with
fine days, keira.

What are you looking forward to most in this your coming trip to Japan?

Wow, Princess Hilton is put in jail again!

holy, crap, I meant 10pm. how did i screw that up? lol.

>>681
Thank you! Yes, it wasn't until we already paid for the trip that we read it was going to be rainy season!
I mostly looking forward to harajuku actually! I want to spend all my money there!

btw, if you're still online, we can chat on http://l4cs.jpn.org/gikopoi/flash/gikopoi104_for/flash_gikopoi.html

The problem with NEETs is that they can't focus.
Abe only wants to send them to special "concentration camps" for
their own good.

>>682
Yeah, and the judge doubled her sentence, but her lawyers are appealing.
She's in the mental hospital section of the Twin Towers jail in LA now.

>>685
I didn't know the sentence was doubled!
Why was that?
Did she try under the table or something?

Thanks for talking with me in the chat, hiro-san! I'll talk to you later! bye!

I'm a fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool

>>687
I've just gotton out of the chatroom. I enjoyed chatting, too, keira.
I think I talked with a 4 channeler in the street. Next time,
I think I'll get inside the house to see what's going on there.
Maybe wierd inside as the rumor has it, but it's worth trying.

OMG...keira was chatting with a guy earlier today.
Hopefully he was not a pervert haha
gee that is a Chinese chat room...oh I'll try
next time then! ^^

I want to chat with keira too.
when is the next time?
make sure everybody knows when please.

>>691
well I dunno but I'll try to visit here from 1:30pm to 4pm since
keira usually come online during that time?^^

Are you a interenet stalker?
You shouldn't be stalking a girlk whether on the net or in the real world.

>>693
HUH? I just wanted to communicate with one person I know...
I might come on net during that time or I might not.
I don't know. But hopefully I can talk to her again on live...

grab the turd

>There's also 4-ch.net which is an English copy of 2-ch, but only otaku hang out there.
Absurd lies.
Some are indeed japanophiles there, but plenty of others are not.

>>696
Most are though. There are some pretty hardcore wap threads too.

There are too many pervert in the NZ thread. Check it out.

>>697
What does the wap mean?

Does it stand for wireless access protocol?
You mean they are talking about technological things in some threads?

What about pretty hardcore porn threads?
Where can I find them?

>>700
The moon, you fool!

>>699
In this case, 'wap' is short for 'wapanese', which is offensive to the person
you are directing it to. It is a conjugation of the words "white" and "Japanese"
and used for someone who wishes they were Japanese despite being white.
It is usually used for white people who love anime or manga too much, and put
very few Japanese words in their otherwise Englishs sentences, which they learn
from anime, such as "You are such a baka! >_______________________<;;;;;;;;" or
"that anime figure is sooooo kawaiiii!!! ^_______________________^".

The WAP you mention does, indeed, stand for Wireless Access Protocol, but it is
a rare subject, I think.

>>702
What is 'fap' or 'fapp'?
I saw this in chatting rooms sometimes.

>>703
'fap' is slang for the act of masturbation. I think it's supposed to be based
on the sound it makes.

>>704
LOL Thanks
Now it all makes sense. They were talking about it.
Someone made that noise. lol

>>704
I am not 703 but let me ask you another question.
You said fap is sound related to masterbation.
Is it related to girl's or man's masterbation?
If it is man's, then when is the sound made? While rubbing it or the moment
of ejaculation? I'm a man but when jerking off, I don't make such a
sound like "fap."

I have to admit I feel like an idiot, while writing this post... lol

nonwhitejew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>534
イギリス人
sorry for the late post.
i basically agree with you.
but i have my own idea. let me explain.
i think we can't separate between sexuality and childishness
completely.

i don't know much about british actress.
let me raise marilin monroe who is
thought to be the sexiest woman in the west.

i don't know what exactly sounds childish or not in english.
but for me, monroe's way of talikng sounds childish and fool.
speaking with a lisp in high tone.
she looks dumb in her movies. her way of walking looks
strange.
monroe looks mature in appearance . she pretened to
be dumb as well. i think being dumb is relevant to
childishness.

even if western world has stronger preference to
mature women than japan, i think western world also love childish elements
in attractive women.

hoshino aki has both elements. bigboobs and loli behaviour.

>>535
godaigo's composer,takekawa yukihide is an alumni of the most prestigious
state-run foreign language university. gogaigo has a couple of american
musicians. so there was no langauge barrier for godaigo.

personally gogaigo looks natural. they behave smart.
takekawa's partner , micky yoshino has an academic backround
in music,too. he studied in us.

many japanese rock musicians try to imitate
western rock band as hard as possible , like larc en ciel.
strange rolling tongue vocalist , strange outfits , strange makeup trying to
look like white people ガイジン etc.
in fact, they are following their idols in the 80's british rockband.
yougsters don't know 80's music. so they look new to many japanese.

>>708
Use capital letters where they are supposed to be used, faggot.

>>706
Sorry, but I am not an authority on this subject, so I am unable to help you
further. All I can say is it is related more to male than female. In these
discussions, people tend to say a female sounds more like "shlick".

Haha, you may worry worry too much about thinking you sound stupid, but I
sound like a pervert!

>>708
You're right that most men do like a certain degree of childishness in a woman.
I think it's to do with power and dominance, and a wish to feel as if they're
protecting someone who needs it (even if they don't). Perhaps it is a ploy - or
even natural bahaviour in order to bond quickly with a man, and so have little
need to fend for herself.
I agree with you about Marilyn Monroe as well - she may have acted dumb and
dependant, but she managed to gain the attention of many rich and powerful men.


>>709
Hmm... I'm not so sure that the makeup is trying to make them look like white
foreigners, but was more of a 'style' thing; David Bowie did it in the late 60's.
I have to admit though, even if they did get inspiration from other bands, there
are unique elements which make it stand out from our styles of rock and make it
enjoyable, which British rock bands of today lack.

>>711
Hyde is thought to be like caucasian in japan.

Gackt even paint his face white and bleach his hair blond
and wear blue contact lens.
I admit he is handsome. but weird.

Cultural admixture is good point in japanese culture. But when real people
do it, it's shameful. In mangas, animes, pc games , imagination
works as possible as it can.

gekidanshiki is a good example of japanese shameful culture.

>>712
That really surprises me. People who know who Hyde is, here, hardly think of
him as anything other than Japanese. However, I must admit Gackt is weird. His
interviews are sometimes interesting, but I cannot stand his music. His style,
however, is very confusing. I have seen him, as you say, when he has white makeup
and bleached hair, but also when he has had a hairstyle with 'cornrows', which is
generally a black thing. Perhaps he thinks that a mix of styles will gain attention
from many ethnicities. It is not how I'd approach it, but it seems to be working quite
well for him.

>>713
Hmmm... I looked up Gekidan Shiki and it took me to a theatre group website, which
seems to perform predominantly Western productions. Is this the one you mean?

>>713
Don't worry, we have Kabuki to compensate for that.

>>714
yes

it's suprising dokyun harajuku performers embodied
japanese traditional dancing style. they knew japanese cultere more than
armchair inteligent critics.

i don't like them though.

lick my dick if you can

by the way
I have to go to bed
my job is called HOSTES in japanese.
I was tired tonight.

By the way, do you guys know the clip of song, change from british
new wave rock band ,tears for fears?
in the clip, a group or men in the hoods wearing noh mask , start
dancing. they are raising hands alternately in simultaneous move.
they are apparently doing bonodori move.

nobody in youtube seems to be aware of it . it's sad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuC5HAlZZZw

>>719
how many dicks have you sucked?

Hello again!
If you guys want to chat again, I'll be on again at maybe...
1pm-3pmJapanese time (my time it will be 10pm-midnight)

>>712
I've seen Hyde and Gackt and have noticed that they are more outgoing with their fashion tastes, but I never thought they were trying to be white.
They are musicians, so they probably travel a lot and see interesting styles that they want to try out.

>>702
lol, I hope you don't think I'm a Japanophile since I use emoticons sometimes. xD
Oh well, maybe I am. All cultures are very interesting,but I have easy access to Japanese culture.So maybe that's why I like it.
Americans don't really have much of a culture, except media culture. ;__;

seen them in the movie?
the worst movie ever lol!!

http://images.google.co.jp/images?hl=ja&rlz=1T4GGLG_ja___JP225&q=%E6%B5%9C%E5%B4%8E%E3%81%82%E3%82%86%E3%81%BF&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi
do you still think so even when you see it?
it's not white or not. i personally don't think she is beautiful..



化け物 monster.

>>722
There's nothing wrong with being a Japanophile, or enjoying the cultures of any other
country - it's only when someone wishes to forsake what they are and be fully another
nationality that it becomes something shameful, at least in my eyes.

>>724
ttp://fashion.3yen.com/wp-content/images/ganguro2.jpg
This is what I personally find extremely disgusting. It makes me feel a bit sick just
looking at it...

As for Hamasaki Ayumi, she is quite attractive, but does wear far too much makeup, and
she does look a little creepy in some pictures, but it's still obvious what ethnicity she
is just by glancing at her.

>>725
they are exceptional. they are also the targets of ridicule in japan.

they are called yamanba.
they somewhat do it intentionally for attention regardless of
good or bad impression.
generally less beautiful, less
confident girls tend to put on such weird makeups.
they are desparate and catching a wave is easy thing.

many japanese talents are said to look like whites(外人) here in japan.
like hirai ken, hamasaki ayumi.
But actually they only look partly like caucasian. they don't look like
european at all.

as far as i know ,ootori ran is exceptinal.

how do you think? calling her a greek or iranian, she would pass in
these contries.

When I first saw Hirai Ken, I thought he was a westerner!

>>730
oh really? not hispanic or something?

>>731
Perhaps something like Spanish or Italian.

When I first saw Hirai Ken, I though he was hardcore gay.

nobody exceeds him.

ibu taro is from saitama. pure japanese.
he is bleachin his hair,tring to look more white thogh.

>>733
your impression was right.

i heard on the net many many years ago in uk,
italians were categorized as non whites
and regarded as below pakistani.
is it true?

>>734
That's really, really creepy! He looks like an American.

Isn't Saitama that place that has all the crime? Saitamasaitamasaitama
saitamasaitamasaitamasaitamasaitamasaitamasaitama, etc.

>>737
oh really?

i can't distingish between them.

>>737
why do you think so? information from 2ch?
i admit saitama is high crime rate prefecture and also
brings bad cultures to tokyo. actually many gangsters in cities like
ikebukuro was saitama people.

incumbent governer ueda tried hard to clamp down crime and has succeeded
a lot.

but don't stretch the image .
though saitama is statically unsafe prefecture, you won't feel big differnece
when in saitama.

statically →statistically
correction

>>738
Sorry, I was just making a judgement based on a silly flash animation. I know nothing
about prefectural crime rates. When I was a university student I was in a town called
Middlesbrough, and the crime rate was absolutely terrible! A couple people even got
murdered just outside the university. There are so many fake beggars and drug addicts.

Middlesbrough was worse than anything I had heard about Saitama. Sorry if I caused any
offence.

I heard from スコットランド人 that north western part of
england is hot bed of white supremacism,nazism.　is north west
england economically hard place?

sorry, north east is correct.

I will be happy!

You love Yukorin and you are loving the way she speaks.
But can't you know the word 'pretend'?
And Until when do you keep believing she is a Venus?

recently one otaku bought a landing patent of kolin planet for
more then 500,000 yen. you can see news on yahoo.

Yeah he might be very very stupid. Or He bought the land for love.

hey, a girl sucking dick in the movie say
mama??? a girl:paris hilton.

why she didn't suck my cock? I was waiting for that.

imagine . john lennon said.
imagine paris suking your dick.

Hey, you Ph.D in girl idol!
What makes the difference between Yukorin and Paris Hilton?
I ask you that professinal answer!

paris is a whore, bitch, prostitute, nasty, dirty.


yukorin is pure, cute, adorable.

maybe like this.

it's surprising somebody who are exposed dicksucking video
is still active in showbusiness. her face seems to say "so what?"

LOL
if yukolin's sex video was exposed, she won't live in showbis anymore.
she won't live in this world too...........

>>751 >>752
Are you answering by the side of Yukorin?
I want professional and neutral answer!

But I know how deep you love Yukorin.

i'm not a yukolin mania.
i just answered on behalf of yukolin mania.

so ,let's wait for real professional answers.

Has Yukorin ever seen male's cock?

i think yukolin is actually sucking somobody's pennis in secret.
so they both love sucking dick. that's the same.

the differece is circulation of dick sucking video.
it doen's mean presence of dick sucking video.
yukolin may have dick sucking video personally.

>>755
not only that. she have seen a dick enlarging in front of
her eyes!!!!

yes yukorin knows how to enlarge something lol

>>702
Thanks for your explanation about wap. I think I have seen those emoticons
and sentences with a Japanese word put in like that.

>>760
You too?

>>711
Thanks for your response.
This kind of onomatopea will never be on English textbook.
Thank you.

>>741
The place I was talking about in >>740 is in the North-East of England, and the population
is often ignorant enough to be very racist. Most people of other ethnicities tend to live
further to the south, so the population is a higher percentage of white. I think the towns
most associated with racism and extremism here are Bradford and Keighley, where during local
elections, the BNP (British Nationalist Party) has received a higher percentage of votes than
anywhere else. The BNP is known for its extreme racist policies.
As for the economy, it was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, but
most of the workers were miners or factory labourers, who earned very little. A lot of people
here live in government-provided homes, and live off welfare, doing no work, and having a
detrimental effect on society.

england is awesome.. i went to london when i was a kid.. iirc i ate a boiled egg
in teh morning, and stepped in some faecal matter in teh night cuz it was so dark
ppl were laughin at me.. i did not cry

you were strong. good for you!
you know what they say, boys don't cry. hillary swank is awesome in it.

>>764
So if I go to that part of the UK, what would happen?
Would they beat me to death, the moment they get the chance?

American Idol's winner Jordin Spark is very fat.
Why are a lot of American's fat?
Is that because they don't have much of self-control,
as indicated in their foreign policy of meddling with the internal affairs of other countries?

>>767
You may get people on the streets calling you names such as 'chink', since
they are ignorant and believe anyone who is from Eastern Asia is Chinese.
There may be a risk of being pushed around. The worst that would happen may
be a light beating. These towns have nothing interesting in them anyway though,
so most people stay clear of them.

Once I was on a train, coming back home from the South, and there was this guy
in a wheelchair who started talking to me. He had just been let out of jail. I
asked why he was in a wheelchair, and he said he stabbed a man from India (not
fatally), just because he was from India. He was very stupid though, because
there were 8 of them in the group, so they beat him and broke his ankles. It
just shows how stupid racists are here.

If they challenged me a fight in the town, I'd tell them I am a cousin of
Jackey Chen, Hong Kong kunfoo(kunhoo?)star and show them some quick
punches right infront of thier eyes. I don't think this would work, but
worth a try. hehe.

I've read a travel story in which its writer was surrounded by locals
who chanted "Jackey Chen! Jackey Chen!" somewhere in the world.
They for some reason know the kunhoo star, maybe from movies, and
whenever they see Asians, they call them Jackie Chen.

I don't believe there is such place in Japan, where you get stabbed just because you're white or black or something like that.
How come nobody do anything to get the situation better in those areas, not just staying away from them
How come it's ok for a political party to even exist whose platform is basically racist principles
That's stupid. Don't they teach in school racism is bad?

Yeah, that could work.
But realistically maybe they just pull a gun out and shoot you...?
Come to think of it, is it ok to have guns in the UK?
I don't hear much about it. I mean Ive never heard about shooting sprees in the UK, like in the US.
By the way, Cho is one of my heroes. ^-^

I heard the same kind of story.
Aska of Chage and Aska said he experienced the same kinda thing.
I want to be treated like Jakie Chen.
Maybe those people who treat any Asian as Jackie are just taunting them, though.

>>774
Oh! That's him! I was wrong. You and I heard the same story.
For whom you don't know of Aska, here's his pic.
ttp://www.rnb.co.jp/radio/maido/aska.jpg

>>771
Democracy in our country enables such political parties to exist, though I
believe neo-Nazism is illegal. Morality is supposed to be developed throughout
schooling, to en extent, but family backgrounds also have a big influence. It
seems that the most racist people are generally the lower classes, a lot of
which live in the areas I mentioned. Even though a lot of them live off government
welfare, they still blame immigrants for leeching off the government too, which is
very hypocritical - especially since a lot of our immigrant population does work and
do contribute to the good of our society.

>>772
Aside from a very few exceptions, guns in the UK are resticted to law enforcement and
military. However, there have been a couple cases of gun crime these past few years.
In 1996, an unemployed Scottish man walked into a primary school and murdered 16 children,
an adult, and then killed himself. After this, even tighter gun laws were passed. There
was another case of a shooting in 1987, I believe, in Hungerford, but I don't really know
the details.

>>770
That is a very strange story! In the West, though, Jackie Chan is a very well known actor,
but known mostly for his work in Hollywood movies. It's his Hong Kong movie background which
put him there though, since his fighting choreography was often very elaborate and sometimes
whimsical.

>>775
I didn't know who Aska was, but he looks nothing like Jackie Chan!

>>770
lol, he probably came down here, to Australia. Just as England has their
filthy chavs, we have filthy ferals. They're like chavs but there's
more open space, so they ride their shitty motorbikes and wear shitty
t-shirts instead of shitty hooded jackets.

When I assume my rightful role as leader, I'm executing anyone who earns
less than a certain amount, as well as the unemployed. It'll help keep
streets clean and the miserable lower classes in order.

>>777
Are those what you call 'Bogans'?

>>770
Gun crimes do happen in Britain, too.
As for a shooting spree, in 1996 in Scotland, 16 kindergarten children
and their teacher were killed by a local unemployed man.

>>778
Yeah. Bogans, Westies, Ferals, they all fit the same character, but it
depends on where you are. Bogans is pretty universal, but I don't like
using it cause the stupid things have started taking a liking to the
name. Ferals fits them nicely, because they breed like them and their
children act like them.
I'm not even upper class. Australia is supposed to be a working man's
paradise or some shit, but the dregs of our society are pathetic. Since
you get them in England, too, I suppose it's the same everywhere.

>>776
Thank you very much for all the replies.
I didn't think of problems with immigrants resulting in many racist people.
So that's the major cause ;immigrants robbing them of their jobs,
or at least, some think that way and blame them for their bad situations..

Japan don't accept immigrants like they do in Europe, so that kind of problems haven't happend, yet.
That's why I really had no idea.
Japan is talking about their shrinking and aging population. and possiblity of accepting more foreign workers.
So we will have same kind of problems down the road... hmm. scary.

>>781
They might blame the immigrants for robbing them of their jobs, but they are
unwilling to work in the first place. A lot of them are, as you say here, NEETs,
and don't even try to get a job. In my job, there are quite a few immigrants who
I supervise, and they are generally harder and better workers.

>>780
You're right, there. I really wish the government would clean up their act and
give them something to do, rather than than stay at home all day, or go out and
vandalise things and harrass people.

DownTown is the dainihonjin

It may sound a bit odd for a Japanese to ask this question,
but does anyone know a good Japanese history book in ENGLISH?
The reason I'm asking is that there are a lot of situations where
I'm asked about Japanese history by foreigners, and although I know
the history in Japanese, I don't know the corresponding English words
e.g. Feudallord for Daimyo, Shogunate for Bakufu, etc. etc.
I'm looking for a very basic book.
I've tried Amazon, but could only find books on some specific topics
such as history of tea ceremony, Geisha and so on.
I'd very much appreciate you guys help!
Thanks in advance.

Excellent!
I want you to teach me english...;(

>>785
YOU teach me Japanese hitory in English first, then I'll teach you English
in return, deal?

Japanese history? Are you from?

...OK! Although I don't know well, I will taught you as possible.

Do you know figure skate?

lol, very incoherent!

Did you not understand my english sentence?

I'm sorry…;(

>>784
I don't know of any books on Japanese history, but I remember learning a little bit about Japanese history in school
and our history book used a lot of Japanese terms, like daimyo, for example.

>>790
I see.
Thank you for the information.
Then maybe I should stick to the original Japanese terms and
explain the meaning of them, instead of trying to find the English
equivalent of the terms.

>>791
I did a search and found something that might help you.

http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/jptoc.html

>>792
Thank so very much for the link to such extensive information!
Yes, this is exactly what I needed!

btw, I really admire your ability to search.
Thanx again.

>>777
Australia has a certain amount of immigrant population from China or
other Asian countries, including Japan, right?

What are white people's reaction to those Asian people? I think Asians
are relatively deligent and work hard so it's not the case that they
are unemployed and hang around in the streets, I think. Do they blend in well with
Australian culture or are they treated as outsiders? What's your opinion?

Hi,I'm live in Okinawa.
Have everyone ever been to Okinawa？

イギリス人,
You are looking for Japanese movies to watch, right? I know someone
introduced you to some movies, including 大日本人 shot by a Japanese comedian
and participated in this past Cannes Film Festival. Kitano Takeshi
participated this time, too. These two movies got the most Japanese
media coverage, I think. I was surprised to know that a Japanese film
shot by a Japanese 38 year old woman won the second best award at
the Cannes this year. You can check her out on the link below,
if you are interested.

You can see the film's trailer here.
ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehnx1C6VHDI

I didn't know about her at all. She doesn't seem to make a movie
to become commercially successful. Maybe you can add this film to
your list.

>>793
These two are found on Amazon.co.jp

No, I've never been to Okinawa although I've always wanted to go there.
BTW, is it true that people living in Okinawa are not very good at
swimming?
I've heard that they only look at the sea but seldom go in it, and
those who actually play with water are all from the main land!

uminchu

>>796
Thank you very much for this information! I always mean to check out the films
that show at Cannes, but never remember when it is.

I had never heard of Kawase Naomi before either, so it may be interesting to
see her past work as well, as a previous movie seems to have done well. The
trailer looks interesting, but also a little confusing, but I guess watching
the whole movie might make it fit together.
Haha, when someone mention 'Dainihonjin' earlier in the thread, I had no idea
it was a movie, so thanks also for pointing that out. As usual, I was also
unaware of 'Kantoku Banzai', which is strange because Kitano's movies are
often quite well publicised, even over here.

Quite recently, I got hold of a movie called 'Kwaidan' (怪談), but have yet to
watch it.

Have any of you ever heard anyone say "dweeb" in real life? I've heard it on TV shows many times, but not one time in real life that I can recall.
I think it's TV-only word.

>>801
you could be right. I've never heard of anyone actually say that word either..

where are you guys from

I'm from Saitama.
I speak Japanese.

I'm from Tokyo.
I also speak Japanese.

I'm from Saitama.
I speak Japanese.

I'm from Japan.
I speak Saitaman.

I will be happy.

hey is someone out there??

imposter!

hi, where are you now ? in Sydney or Japan ?

in Saitama

sure ? why in saitama ?

ill go to bed. hav a good night !

I will be happy.

I don't go to bed.
I sleep on futon.
I go to futon.

I want you to use my dick as your pillow.

>>817
I better warn you, I have a nasty habit of setting my pillow on fire.

just teaches you you can't judge a book by it's cover. just prooves how wrong prejudice is

こんちゃ

>>820
Don't ever say that to a Brazilian or Portuguese!

>>801
"dweep" is a word similar to "nerd" or "geek".
But It's hardly ever used anymore. I think It was popular in the 80's.

Please call me any of them.
I feel ecstasy whenever you treat me as abmormal.

>>821
what does it mean in portuguese?

>>825
In generally most of South America, it is a word used for female genitalia.
It is often used in phrases such as "Concha es tu madre!" or "La concha de
tu madre!" (I'll let you figure them out). Insulting a person's mother is
one of the gravest of insults in Spanish and Portuguese countries.

>>826
I thought it meant "shell", like "conch" in English.

>>827
It's literal meaning is, yes, but if someone approaches you and just says "concha",
I don't think they'd be talking about a shell.

>>826
cool thanks... so it's like, YOUR MOM'S CUNT haha
it's kinda interesting how western languages use female genitalia as a general insult

bobo

bob

Yes yes
English speaking people loves to refer to the lower parts of body, like a cunt or a penis or an ass or crap or shit or ...
So imature, in my opinion.

>>832
Also note that the example used in >>826 isn't in English.

>>832 can get no boner anymore... sad

Is Yukorin sharing much part of your heart?

>>832
You have a point!
I've felt the same way since I started to understand English
curse expressions.
As a matter of fact, we don't have those lower parts of the body-related
curse expressions in Japanese.
The worst I can think of is "Omae-no ka-san debeso! (Your mother has an
outie belly botton!), lol

Don't patronize me. I'm not one of your little bimbos

"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay, and red, and he placed them on separate continents....
The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix."

>>837
.....by Space ALC.

>>838
You still think the earth is flat.

In reality, we were all apes living in the trees in Africa. And at one
time, one of the apes climbed down a tree and started running on the
ground, and then eventually some of the groups of ape started to
live on the ground. One day one of the apes started to walk with his hindlegs.
They all started to walk with two legs.

They started to travel for foods and some of the groups of apes left Africa,
and they spread to all around the world. On the process, depending on
where you started to live, the number of melanins in your skins varied.
The more your skin is darker, the less white. We Asians are just in the middle.

All I want to say to you is you gotta be careful not to fall down from
the edges of the flat earth. lol.

What is this copy/paste nonsense that's been going on in the last few messages?
Let's have a real discussion instead of posting garbage. What do you think we should
talk about?

>>832
Shit is used very frequently in every language, i think... Though when it comes to
variety nothing can beat English shit though since it can mean anything.
And, shit is not immature. Shit is timeless and transcendent.

>>836
Don't forget chinkasu. That's about the only one though.

Shit happens when you least expect it.

my shit is odorless and translucent

>>844
Are you a panda? Pandas eat only bamboo leaves so thier poo don't smell
at all.

>>845
Then YOU should start eating bamboo leaves only
for everyone's sake!!!

>>846
Humans cannot live on just bamboo leaves.

Let me tell you guys a funny story about panda's poo.
I don't remember much about detals so maybe I am partly wrong about
my description.

There's a popular program called 探偵ナイトスクープ aired at night every
week. One father didn't believe that panda's poo doesn't smell at all.
So his family memberes tried to make him understand it doesn't smell.
In the TV program family memberes went to a zoo to get pandas poos.
They managed to get them and shaped them like dumplings and
served on a plate. When their father came home from work, they
urged him to eat them. He noticed something was wrong with the dumplings
but didn't imagined they were actullay pandas poos because they
didn't smell at all.

"grab the turd" (>>695)

i think this would make a good slogan for this thread, it sounds aggressive,
suggesting that if you want to improve your english, you need to go all out
berserk like when grabbing a turd. also, turd is a symbol of luck in japan
which is cool for a slogan

or, if you can come up with a good slogan for this thread please post it
because slogans are cool

>>848
I think you missed out one of the most important parts of the story! Did it taste
nice or not?

>>841
How about hats? Only saying that because I have a small collection.

>>850
Really? What kinds of hats do you collect?

talk about hats??
what a lame proposition.
maybe the lamest proposition ever
anyway, I hate hats because my head is so big that when i wear one, whatever it is, i look retarded. thank you.

>>849
I have a slogan suggestion.
How about "grab the turd"?
It sounds strong and forward-leaning, but at the same time, describes the pointlessness of this thread?
What do you think?

I watched the same episode of Tantei Knight Scoop.
It turned out, the panda turd they grabed from China was just as stinky as any other turd around.
The funniest part was how they found out that.
They actually went to China and one of its panda sanctuallys, and guess what!

ANIMAL ABUSEMENT!!!!
I shall avenge tha pandas

>>850
The poos didn't smell bad at all but the father noticed something was
wrong with dumplings so he didn't try eating.

>>854
Oh. Maybe you are right about their going to China to get panda's
poos. But if my memory serves right, poos didn't smell bad at all.
I remember the scene where they were all amazed by the fact that
pandas' poos don't smell bad. To be exact it smells a bit like bamboo
leaves.

i love panda they taste good

>>856
You are right! I now remember!
My memory totally served me wrong there.
Yeah, it was totallyl kind of anti climatic that panda crap smelled just like bamboo they ate, and that was somehow funny!!

>>852
I am sorry that hats are such a sore subject for you. However, I have seen websites with
hats for people with larger than average heads. If you get a really big hat, maybe it would
make your head look smaller.

>>851
All sorts of hats, really. Fedoras, Trilbys and Bucket hats mainly, though with a few more
unusual hats, such as a couple from Libya, a Stetson, and a few Russian, one of which is
from the military.

Now, anyone?

Oh, boring.

>>859
Do you have the kind of hat that Sherlock Holmes wears?

>>859
I gooled the hats you mentioned, and wondered what matching clothes
you wear with those types of hats.
Because I think if you pick wrong clothes, you will end up looking kind of
dumb.
Or, are you bald or something? So you wear hats to conceal it, lol

bonjour.I came.

Bounour!
Comment ca va?

>865
X Bounour
O Bonjour

Magandang umaga. I came.

>>865
Bonjour. Tu est francais ou est-ce simplement que tu aimes le francais?
Je suis desire, mais mon francais est pauvre, et je ne puex pas parler de beaucoup de choses en francais.

English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?

>>869
いいえ。話せません。英語を教えてください。

>>862
Really wish I did have a deerstalker hat like that! However, finding one which
looks good is proving difficult.

>>863
I don't really have anything to wear which matches the last three types of hat,
but as for the others it really just depends. The colours really have to match
or at least complement each other. The Trilby and Fedoras are usually worn with
either a suit or a 'long coat'. Depending on colour, they can also go quite well
with a casual jacket. I'm far from being bald, but hats are good for a little
extra warmth and protection from the rain, and it is often cold and wet here.

You're right though - a mismatching hat (in both colour or style) usually looks
very stupid.

>>868
Aimes-tu les fromages?

My chemistry teacher faps himself to pics of Rush Limbaugh and Al Sharpton.

I bet he digs Bill O'Rilley, too.

hi...

>>871
We hear that a British person carries with him a very neatly and tightly
rolled up umbrella but never opens it.
We also hear that there is an oppupation specialized in rolling up umbrellas.
I don't know if they are just rumors, but do you wear a hat to prevent
rain even if you have your umbrella with you?

>>874
how are you?

Dammit, the French are here. Let's have another Agincourt and teach
them why English people are superior. We have bigger bows!

You are talking about 100 years war?
But British had been completely defeated by a single saint girl, Joan of Arc.
Plus King John had lost many parts of England territory in French.

>>878
Really, the English army defeated by a little girl?
Is that before or after we roasted her like a pig at the stake?
This isn't anime. In the West, we decimate moe girls!

I love Beatles!

A lot of French pretend not to know any English, espacially in France.
Why is that?

Hmm... there are two types of umbrella that we carry - one is the short, compact
and lightweight umbrella which can easily fit into a pocket, and the other is
quite long, and often more elaborately decorated in terms of handle and print.
I think these are the ones you hear of more often, and are sometimes used as
canes.
However, the occupation for rolling up umbrellas... I had not heard of that
before! Maybe it is a cult.

I'm glad to your right knowledge.

>>894
are you from okinawa? do you eat cicadas?

wellwell, this thread seems to be progressing in a weird way. xD

Strange subjects, but at least people are practicing their english. n_n

>>896
Hello, keira. You haven't been posting as much recently, have you?

Yes. Japanese people are very friendly to any race except for blacks. That is why Japanese girls are so easy, but never for Black men.

>>897
You know, I kind of haven't...
I guess I don't have much to say on these topics. >.>

But I still watch the thread, even if I don't post.

Why do you enter a fake e-mail address? You can just leave that field blank, you know.
That's what almost everyone does except when they use "sage".

>>899
If you posted topics that you wanted to talk about, I'm sure people would respond to you.
If you don't have anything you want to talk about, though, I guess it can't be helped...
BTW, if this isn't too personal, what's your college major? I don't remember you ever saying it.

Yeah, that's the problem. I don't want to just waltz on in and change the subject. xD
I'd rather just comment.

The reason I haven't said my major is because I don't have one yet. >.>
I want to Minor in Japanese though. For my major, I want to do something art-related, since that is my field I'm good at.
(I got first place for the junior devision at the state fair), but my mom won't let me go to art school, since there is "no money when it comes to art". SIGH.
So, I'd have to pay for my own classes if I wanted to. >.>

I'm Japanese, but I don't know Japanese!

I'm learning.

I'd rather join this conversation... looks cool
It's so glad to see someone's gonna choose a way rather than attending uni... like going art colleges...

Do you mean you are not interested in hats???
I'm surprised!!!!

Rainy season finally started yesterday.....but it was very sunny today
and the mercury rose up to 30 degrees.
We'll probably face shortage of water this summer.

>>899
I think these threads are more interesting when there are many topics active at
once. It makes it feel like it's worth replying, because there's always more to
say.

>>902
Guess I can sort of relate to that. Originally, I'd taken all these subjects at
college (senior highschool equivalent in the US, I think) to try and get a place
in a games programming degree at university. Getting there, my mind had changed.
It was now an arts course I wanted (digital media - 3D modelling, animation, some
life drawing with traditional media, etc.). Two years on, and decided I'd get
absolutely nowhere once I graduated. Figured I'd made a mistake turning a hobby into
a potential job, because it had taken all the fun out of it.
Actually, it had nothing to do with what you said after all, aside from being related
to art. Oh well!

If you're good enough though, there's plenty of money to be made as long as you get
into the right market for it.

>>911
It's been dry almost all year so far up until three days ago, and hasn't stopped raining
since. The temperature is only around 18-21 degrees though, which is normal for this time
of year. In past years it has been very dry and hot during summer, and the government
placed rectrictions on water usage, even though there is a huge reservoir nearby.

>>912
It's ironical both UK and Japan are surrounded by the ocean and
yet face water shortage from time to time.

I saw a video of a farmer who built a trebuchet and spent his days
flinging porcelain toilets across a nearby river at his neighbours.
I wish I didn't live in the city, and could live the simple life...

>>913
You're right! I never thought of that.

>>914
You could just move out.

> 902
> 912
Not sure about UK but that's absolutely correct in the US.
I got some friends working in the art feild like conservator,
curator, dealer, archivist, and such.
For most of positions, they normally require master degrees at least.
You need to invest tons of money for it and end up with
making the least mount. lol

Plus, it's way too small society. You gotta get along with
whoever that is even some gay or elegant snobby people,
otherwise you will get banned in thier society seriously.
Only a good thing is that there are so many good-looking
females I guess. lol
But you gotta see their nasty sides most of time tho.

All this negativity makes me want to break my wine glass and slit my wrists with the shards

Me too. I am sick of negative assholes polluting this thread with their depressing and/or aggravating messages.
They should just leave us alone.

＞＞９１８
ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD.

>>919
Are you talking about yourself?

I'm neet and I cant do anything about it...
I want to die but I can't commit myself to do it..
I'm trapped.

>>918
What kind of wine is it? If it's expensive, you should drink it all before
smashing the glass else it'll go to waste!

>>917
To work in the art field in positions such as those, in the UK, still requires
qualifications such as masters degrees, yes. Basically whoever has the most
money and can talk the most about nothing would get the job.
However, working as an actual artist is a very different matter (unless they do
modern "art"), and artists can get a good job with the right exposure of their
work.

hello how are you all living?.
Please take a look at this video
Her name is Annasophia Robb.
I think she is the cutiest girl ever in this world.
What do you think?

meh, she's not THAT cute. I've seen cuter.

She is cute.
But Catherine ZetaJhones is cuter.

It was for charcoal actually. But I paint, sketch, chalk, pastel, and ink as well.

Actually, I love hats, but I don't think I look that great in them. xD
I don't know much about hats... but I do love the winter kind that have flaps to cover the ears. n_n

>>912
>>923
Actually, It relates well to what I'm thinking! I've always been worried about that too...turning a hobby into a job.
Either you'll love your job, or you'll start hating your hobby.lol

What I want to do doesn't nessicarily HAVE to revolve around art, but I want to have a job were I am free to be creative in an artistic way.
There are so many jobs that can do this for me-alltypes- but I haven't found out which yet.

>>940
Thanx for the reply about what you got the prize for.
I wish I could see your art work very much, but I guess this is the
limitatino of 2CH......oh well, plz let us know if you ever open up your
cyber art gallery. I'd like to visit it!

I like the Russian hat that looks like one carries a racoon on his head!

hello how you guys living?
check this google video clip i ve got.
it's michal moore's new movie sicko
this movie is really great, and describes how greedy americans are,
so much so that they even dump patients on the street who cant pay for the treatment LOL
poor americans are actually willing to die for greedy rich people, it's so funny
let's watch it and laugh at americans.

the funniest thing is ,even after this movie, americans won't do anything about their healthcare system.
maybe greedy rich people will get even more greedy rich LOL
and not so funny thing is that Japan is following suit in this greedy american ways... the rich get richer, the poor get poorer...

>>942
Well, aren't we the charming little troll.

>>942
Actually the poor have the last resort, the ER, and the rich pay for it.

Hillary Clinton was very keen on passing the bill on the universal health insurance,

In Japanese parliament, a gentleman in military uniform stands on the platform
with a script in his hand, and at the front of him more than hundred councilors
salute him solemnly. But in the next moment, councilors are muddled up much,
because the gentleman suddenly roles his script and looks them through it like a
telescope with loose smile...

He was called "Emperor (Tenno) Taisho" and he was actually an idiot, who cannot
perform his task as emperor. This "telescope-incident" has been told privately,
because in Japan it's forbidden to speak of scandals about imperial family officially.

Such idiocy of him was hereditary and took root in the traditional incest by pre-Meiji
emperors. They took wives from and gave daughters to only a few related noble houses.

It's rumor that also current emperor's cousin has a mild idiocy. And a misbirth of
Masako, the wife of prince might be actually an induced abortion because the baby had
some invalid or idiocy.

>>940
Ah, freedom to be creative, that's exactly it! My main worry was the possibility
of having to take a job where I would draw and animate, but where I'd have little
say in the concept or design, restricting my own pleasure of creativity.

It is lucky that in the UK, Prince Philip (the husband of the Queen) does not really
do much, because he has a habit of saying the wrong things at the wrong time.

When was this emperor around?

be careful, if you talk bad things about the tenno emperors, scary people will come out of
some corner and get you... or so i heard in primary school

>>948
The Taisho period, where Taisho emperor was on his throne, is dating from 1912 to 1926.
I would say >>947 is just trash talking about trash.

I thought it was Emperor Tashiro, not Taisho..
I spend too much time in 2ch, I know.

Why are british people so ugly?

>>952
If you give me an example, I can try and give an explanation.

Far above, you guys were talking about how French people hate the language of
English, UK or US. In general European people don't like US because of US's
arrogance represented by unilatral approach to international affairs such as the
invasion of Iraq or it's attitude toward global warming issues. But in my opinion, I
don't think French people don't like UK and US as much as they claim, and I don't
think other European countries don't like US as much as they claim, either. After
all, they are all white and in western community and share same value, same
religion.I've read a survey that shows Japan is considered to be a friend and
trustworthy as a nation among European countires. But Japan doesn't share the
same value, same religion with western community so on person-to-person level,
it's difficult for Japanese to make friends with people from western countries plus
there is a language barrier. America is disliked by UK and France because of the
reason above, but on a personal level, American can make friends with French and
British people far more easily than Japanese can. My point is even if America is
disliked as a nation and Japan is liked as a nation, on person-to-person level, Japanese
feel isolated when, say, there's a party where people from various European countries
plus US, and Japanese gather. People from overseas here in this thread may like Japanese
but average American, British and people from other European countries don't interested
in Japan at all although they are interested in countries of western community.
Kind of sad as a Japanese myself.

>>953
Prince Charles, lol

>>954
You could summarize your crap in 3 sentences, idiot:
Europe and the US love and hate each other more than they do Japan
mainly because they are westeners; they don't really give a fuck about
Japan and Japanese; I'm sad :(

>>954
The French and the UK have a longstanding rivalry, which began with the Norman
invasion of 1066. Once the nobility integrated itself into the then-current
society, they did not consider themselves French, and were considered a rogue
branch by the ruling class of mainland France. The British then went to war with
France and took a large amount of land, even with fewer numbers and less knowledge
of the terrain. This is what the French resent most about Britain. If you mention
the year 1415 to them, they sometimes become really agitated.

It is true, however, that the UK and USA are on somewhat better terms than we both
pretend we are. There is that long-standing rivalry from when the USA became independent
of the UK and wasted all that nice tea in the harbour, and always complain and moan about
and insult the British on the Internet (Britain usually does it back though), but when
face to face, the people are generally a lot friendlier.

There is always a barrier between most Asian countries and the West, though, because of culture
and language, as you say. However, there is much tension between religions over here, and I
don't just mean between Christianity and Islam, but with the tension between different types
of Christian, as demonstrated in Northern Ireland.

His/her writing is always too long and very boring.

>>958

>>959
I can tell by the way he/she writes.

oh. i usually dont read long stuff posted by a nanashi
so couldnt tell

>>961
>i usually dont read long stuff posted by a nanashi

Good idea.
I should do that too to avoid wasting time.

Japanese's English is a bit weird

>>963
So is yours.

Someone posted here few months ago, whose English was typically Japanese English.
So a native speaker didn't understand his English at all.
But I clearly understood what he was saying because I am a Japanese.

>>965
What's your point?

>>966
Nothing. I just told you what was going on here in the past.

>>967
*sigh*

>>963
A bit? It's a common knowledge that it's the weirdest English on earth.
Ever heard of Engrish?

>>969
Chinese English, Korean English, German English and Finish English
are also very poor when it comes to pronuciation.

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my delilah
Why, why, why delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me delilah I just couldnt take any more

I can't get enough of the Red Army's rendition of this song :)

>>969
The weirdest English comes from a city in the north of England called Newcastle.
They speak a hard to understand dialect of English called 'Geordie'. It gets even
worse because they drink a lot of alcohol there, so even if you can understand
a bit of Geordie dialect, it then becomes drunken Geordie dialect.

Also, a question to anyone: Could you tell me what a 'nanashi' is, please?

>>972
No name, i.e. anonymous

do you see this ? -> 名無しさん＠英語勉強中

名無し = nanashi

>>957
I didn't know that French and UK's rivalry dates so far back as 11th century.
I just thought the reason why France doesn't like the language of English is
that English invades French culture. I've read something like, TV programs in which
English is spoken have to be restricted to a particular percentage among all programs aired in Franch.

>>974
I thought that meant toshiaki or something. Or is that 2ch's
equivalent of /b/tard, ie just the "elite" of the members who
visit this site?

WTF is toshiaki? LOLOLOL gerosuwwww

>>976
I'm not sure what you are talking about, but as >>973 said a nanashi is
an anonymous user on 2ch, like us. Not elite or anything.

>>977
What, you dont know Toshiaki? LOLOLOLOLOOOL NUBCAKE!!!!!111!!

nanashi is na nashi ; literally no name. without name, nameless　
probably came from Nanashi no Gonbei.

>>973, >>974, >>980
Thanks for your explanations! I'm a failure at reading Kanji.

>>976
I'd hardly count /b/tards as elite members; most of them are retarded.
At least there is occasionally some cleverly amusing stuff from there though.

>>975
I hadn't heard about this restriction. I'll do a little reading into that.

I've always wondered if Japanese people eat cheese. Sometime I will get insatiable for cheese and consume up to two pounds of it in one go.

>>982
Off course we eat cheese.
My favorite is Stilton blue cheese with Porto wine or Parmesan with champagne!

btw, I just saw on TV that there is a so called "cheese festival" in UK
where a cheese master throws a ball of cheese from the top of an extreme steep
hill (probably 70 degrees) and 20 reckless men run down the hill following the cheese.
The first one to reach the ground level is the winner.

This year, a young japanese comedian participated in the race and he got
the second place with sprained ankle.
It was really fun to watch.

>>982
wanna know why you're so constipated?

>>982
What do you weigh?

And for the record, Japanese people live on rice and fish alone. o-o

>>985
What's your staple food in Scotland, potato?

>>986
Yeah, pretty much. Potatoes, carrots and the weird parts
of animals that nobody else wants to eat. =3

The weird parts of animals, lol~~

When non asian people talk about japanese food it's either sushi or ramen
but TONKATSU deserves more atention imo. When served as Katsu Curry
or Katsudon, it beats sushi hands down. Sushi gets boring fast.
Katsudon/Katsu Curry I could eat everyday. You should try them.
