Would that Japan were teeming with women like her!

>>944
Is that Karakuri TV? I hate that show. Many of their shit are so obviously
staged it's just insulting and degrading. Probably the most retarded show
I've seen in my life.
I'm now sayng the beard guy is fake. He's cool.

*not saying

>>935
Did you know that pizza means fatass in 2ch lingo?
Now I can only picture you as a slobbering fatass eating pizzas on a couch!

this is a bad time to say this but,

Dominos pizza is my favorite pizza

>>955 : We learn something new every day.

>>946

It is not common to take a year off, I am not taking a year off either.
I was selected for an exchange program out of 5 people in my city and we're
going to study abroad. Not all of us are in Finland though, just me. One
person is going to Japan but I don't think the country is good for him...
he is ignorant about learning the language.

If I wasn't going to Finland to study for a year I would be going to university like everyone else.
But it is not necessary to go straight to university, some people take a break and some people go
back to school for a year.

Thank you for the links but I already have both of them =P

>>955

No I did not know that! Thanks for telling me, I'm definitely not sitting
on the couch, and I'm not slobbering and fat lol.

>>956
Pizzas are good. In Japan we have a pizza chain called Pizza-La.
(along with Dominos and Pizza Hut)
I like Pizza-La but I've seen many foreigners calling their pizzas shit
or saying lolol that ain't pizza, japs don't know pizza, etc etc.
I guess it is like Japanese sushi and westernised sushi. Modified and
adjusted to local people's taste and thus not real.

Is anyone watching UFC 97?

おやすみなさい、２ch。
甘いい夢。

Is this right? It should say "Goodnight 2ch, sweet dreams". I'm not very
confident with my Japanese. If it's wrong someone correct me.

>>952
I say goddamn, Hachinohe.

>>960
>おやすみなさい、２ch。

おやすみなさい　is appropriate. But "2ch" part is a bit strange.
Maybe to say it is "strange" is a bit too far because I understand what you mean but
it's just that "2ch のみんな," meaning "guys in 2ch" is better.
It's a bit strange in the same way that "こんにちは、日本" sounds a bit strange.
"こんにちは、日本のみんな" sounds more natural.
In both cases I understand you mean to say 2ch means people/guys in 2ch, Japan means
people in Japan but when it's expressed in Japanaese, 2ch just refers to
2ch as a forum on the Internet and Japan refers to a country name,
not meaning "People in 2ch" and "People in Japan" respectively.

>甘いい夢

You meant to say 甘い夢, right? because sweet means 甘い, and dreams
mean 夢. But word for word translation doesn't work here because
we don't have the set phrase 甘い夢 in Japanese.
"Good night" is translated as "おやすみなさい" but there's no equivalent of
"Sweet dreams" in Japanese.

Some people might say "いい夢を" or "いい夢を見てね" is the equivelant
of "sweet dreams" but both of them sounds less common than the English
equvalent. Just my opinion, though.

>>958
Do you speak Finnish too or will you be taking courses in English?

I can't get over how good this song is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=JP&hl=ja&gl=JP&hl=ja&v=Cl2bv4arSkE

It would be insane if we made our own Chat in English thread theme song
with Vocaloid.

>>964
Ha ha, yeah it's awesome. Would've been a pity if I'd had to kick it
out of my playlist just so I don't listen to too much incorrect Japanese.

Would anyone tell me through what process the song in >>964 was made?
Is the /jp/ board a board in 4chan/4ch?
So 4channelers are the ones who made this song?

>>958
I see. Thank you for the answer. You must be excited to go overseas.

>>966
On 4chan, yes. This song was basically a birthday present for the board's community
by the guy who made it. The board was created roughly a year ago, and
most of its userbase used to be part of 4chan's Anime&Manga board, /a/, which nowadays
chiefly consists of teenagers discussing shounen anime. Discussion on /jp/, in turn, mostly
focuses on obscure Japanese computer games.

>>968
So one person wrote the lyrics and made music(composed the song), too?
So talented. Someone said the guy is non Japanese but why didn't he
write lyrics in English when users of 4chan don't understand Japanese?

>>946
Why did you call him a loser? He's just doing what he wants
without hurting anyone.

>You can tell from the way he speaks and his looks
No you can't. You don't know him. If anything, you just made yourself
look like a total ass with your asinine statement.

>>969
Well, the board is called Japan/General, not America/General.
Most of the regulars are both used to watching their entertainment
with subtitles and actually do speak at least some Japanese, with strongly
varying degrees of proficiency. It didn't strike me as unusual at all that
the lyrics were in Japanese, just that it seems to be GOOD Japanese really baffles me
and makes the whole thing even more awe-inspiring.
What's more, the majority of posters on /jp/ actually aren't native speakers of English,
and not all of them can fluently understand spoken or even sung English.
And besides, Vocaloid isn't well-suited for English lyrics.

>>970

I didn't like his voice either. The way he speaks is really vulgar and
annoying. He may be a pretty cool and smart guy, but the way he speaks is
annoying to me. He speaks like he is a 15 year old skateboard punk, but he
appears to be an adult. I just don't like him.

>>970
A loser doesn't have to hurt anyone.

My definition of a loser Gaijin is someone who can't get a good job
in their country, so come to Japan to teach English with an illusion
that they get popular with Japnese girls if they're native English speakers.

Look at Tokyosam. He's just a fat ugly guy with no IQ. He doesn't have
any qualities to get popular, get a good job for that matter, in America.
Even after a few years of staying in Japan, he speaks terrible Japanese.
I wouldn't say he speaks Japanese, though. All he can do is to utter a
few Japanese words in conversation. He can't even make a sentense.

>>972
I know, I didn't like some parts like boobs and honk honk and shit either
but that's not enough for me to call somone a loser on the anonymous Internet.
Because you still don't know who he is. After all he's just giving tips
to other learners. He is positive and >>946 is negative. That's my opinion but
it's just an opinion so meh. I think I see him as a fellow laguage learner and
that's probably why I'm defending him.

>>972
>He speaks like he is a 15 year old skateboard punk, but he
appears to be an adult. I just don't like him.

haha, good point.
It's unaccepatble kids in Japanese school call him a teacher.

Also, he reminds me of a fat kid who lived with Harry Potter
or the obese spoiled kid in Charlie and the chocolate factory.

>>971
Thank you for the detailed information.
He seems to undersatnd 2ch/4ch jargon and it's trend.
The lyrics includes many knee-slappers.

>>962

Ah thanks, you probably have no idea how helpful that is =D

>>973

Is a good thing I'm not under this delusion.
I like keeping to myself anyway.

One thing I find hilarious about Tokyosam is, according to him, he makes a living as a "host",
which is basically a male prostitute who doesn't sell sex but caters for middle-aged women
otherwise at bars. They make pretty good money, of course it's not illegal, and I don't care
what they do, but he just doesn't look like one that women would be all over, even in Japan. lol

>>978

I thought that was a joke. That guy must be a real con artist if he can
get hired by any clients as a host with a mug like his.

>>978
I thought he's an English teacher.
I'm not sure but if I'm not wrong, he said something like "My students..blah blah..."
I don't remember in which video.

>>980

On his blog, it says he is an English teacher in Chiba city.

>>979
Yep, it's gotta be a joke. Otherwise, he's pumping up some people with false hopes. lol

>>981
Oh, is that right?
I didn't know he writes blog. I wonder if he's JET or an English teacher
at private language school. Either way, just the thought of him teaching English
makes me shiver.

I wonder why he looks like a high school kid. He doesn't look matured at all.

I wouldn't really be surprised if he was a host.
A guy like that can work as a host if he can talk. Of course he would never
be like a top dog but there's some demand for that type.

I just watched the other video where he talks with the black guy.
The black guy's intteligent demeanor is really contrasting to Sams swearing.

He lives in Chiba, but he is Tokyosam?

>>981
Where is his blog? I checked his youtube page, but there is no link.

Also, can he really be a teacher?
Do English schools hire that kind of person?

>>986

By the way, I read an article from a psychology magazine. It said that
daydreaming is good for you and very important for improving one's creativity.
It is supposed to be similar to night time dreaming, but while daydreaming,
one can write down the creative thoughts he or she has before forgetting them
and put them into practical use.
I suppose that is why they say all the best ideas are created while one is
sitting on the toilet or in the shower (like The Thinker). Einstein supposedly
came up with the Theory of relativity while daydreaming at his job as well.

Procrastinating may not be such a bad thing after all if you just can't focus
on your boring work.

>>985
Maybe "Tokyo" draws more attentions from foreigners who adore Japan.
"Tokyo" Disney Land is located in Chiba. Cities in Chiba near the border
of Tokyo is within commuting distance, actually.

>>986
Check his front page of his Youtube account again.
There's a link to his blog at the bottom of his self-introduction section

>>988-989
Thank you.
I never created good ideas while taking a shit? It must be a lie.

Is there more formal way to say taking a shit?

>>990

You must try harder.

>>990
I don't get what you mean.

Can someone please answer >>991 ?
I used online dictionary and I got:
go to stool; defecate; empty one's bowels; relieve nature [oneself].

But I don't think these can be used in actual conversation...
Go to stool. Do people really say it?

>>994
I don't get what you mean too.

>>992
I always try hard. If I try harder, I think my ass will break.

>>995
taking/ having a shit, to represent the action itself is not formal anyway.
so there aint any formal way to describe ' having a shit.' going to poo sounds better
somehow.
just say go to the bathroom.

using the words like stool and feces instead of shit is used in hospitals for the patients.

>>997
I see, thank you.

1000

>>999
LOL
You did it intentionally.

Here gooooooooooooooooooooooooooes 1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
