Hey!!! you NEETs, nerds, YouTube-link spammers, pedophiles, neo-Nazis, Yukorin enthusiasts, Nanako SOS admirers, Part-Time-Preachers, Diplomats' spoiled sons, losers who can't remember Kanji characters, Big-boobs fans, Weeaboos from all over the world, learners of Japanese who are too lazy to update their Japanese blogs very often, and cunning linguists. And let's hope the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!
The match of Japan vs Denmark will broadcast on tomorrow's AM 3:00 in NTV. But, I wonder why all Japanese soccer freak wanna watch it, all though Japan soccer team has no hopeness anymore. Because I think all their team's luck were run out in the match against Cameroon. So, in this match, Japan soccer team will lose again, I think.
>>2 I think that people just want to have something to support, something to feel a part of, especially when it comes to competing internationally. On a small scale, people support each of their (possibly local) teams, so within the country, there is some kind of competition against other towns. But on a larger scale, supporters of teams which may be opposed nationally might stand side by side and support the national team together.
Of course, I have no idea if any of that's true. Not really much of a football fanatic. Didn't bother watching England's game yesterday, and will probably miss whatever's happening in the next week in a bit while I'm in Russia.
People here were very critical of England's team, and very pessimistic about yesterday's outcome. So anything's possible.
And as for tennis, Murray didn't go out in the first round, after all.
The miracle has happened.Although seemingly all are the scores of a free kick , the japanese are playing a game enduringly. It is doubtful whether as it is, they can finish a game.
I think that this victory is wonderful because I thought that Japan is defeated. I was very impressed. The topic of Japan of today might be one soccer color. I think that the 3rd point of Okazaki was good as a private judgment. The save of Kawashima was also regrettable.
The condition of the team of Europe is not well. Does an economic crisis influence it from Greece? In the market of investment, it has influenced considerably.
>>26 When today's battle is seen, they may win. The Japanese player who may be strong when it attacks I think that Japan has lost since old Japanese soccer was thinking defence as important.
An European poster talked about this in british forum http://www.vvv-venlo.nl/en/club-honda-to-cska.htm "Venlo sold Honda for 7 million to CSKA in Moscow in December, which is as much as their entire annual budget. Venlo came 14th in the Eredvisie this year. "
Above was what I expected before the first round began. Japan had been suffering from not being able to score in a game for a loooong time. Can't believe Japan scored as many as 3 goals against Europian powerhouse like Denmark.
I even thought Japan was beaten by Cmeroon. Japan made 2 miracles, which is beating Cameroon and Denmark. Never thought it moved on to the tournament. I even thought of promising you here that if Japan moves on to the turnament, I'd upload my photo here or I'd shave my pubic hair, which it's good I didn't promise you guys.
I wanted to ask イギリス人san following question.. if I could: ...Could we use the word "psycho" to describe something.. in a positive meaning? Although it usually means "Psychopathic"..in negative meaning. E.g., can you use the word "Psycho" to say "inspirational"?.. or to mention something which seems to be spiritually highly supernatural.. - to imply a kind of positive meaning?(..like describing Japanese succor team..)
Shunsuke was an existence which Japanese team do not already need. Although it is exaggeration, of course , Supervisor Okada seemed to have to handle Shunsuke or to handle Honda or to select it as the main player.
>>57 No,no. though. used to introduce a statement that makes the main statement coming after it seem surprising, unlikely, or unexpected The word "so" denies totally.
I read the link in 54.. - I remember- when the game with Cameroon has finished, the TV announcer was saying about Nakamura, as..: "He was very aggressively(or..passionately) leading the training yesterday- ..trying to lead all the other team mates with showting and calling..." etc. But - the article says he's got psychological scar while in Spain etc..I didn't know that
>>53 I'm in St Petersburg right now, so no idea if this will even post... found a 2ch reader/poster for this phone.
Psychopathic is hardly ever used positively - its main usage is really just another way of saying 'sociopathic'. I'll read up on it a bit more and try and post a better answer when I can.
The broadcast industry at least will be a pleasure in Japan's final advance. Possibly viewership became fairly good even if Japan had not done final advance. Argentina is interesting this year. Especially a supervisor is interesting although the contents of a game are also so.
There is a golf program by Ryo Ishikawa in Nippon Television Network today. Although it is slightly a question whether a golfer is an athlete , the young athlete of golf is also doing his best.
>>54 To use Shunsuke as the key player of the team was HC Okada's plan until recently. But, partly because of his injury, the plan never worked out. Approaching the World Cup, he finally gave up the plan and decided to go with plan B which is to use Keisuke Honda as the key player, and use the one-top formation. This plan B worked extremely well, though I think his decision should have been made earlier.
I know that some personal issues between them were reported on the media. But, in my impression, it's exaggerated or just fake. In addition, even if Shunsuke is not necessary to the team, we don't have to criticize him anymore. Reading something like "he is a burden to the team" is annoying to me.
>>60 I think in >>53, I have somewhat confused the word "psycho" for "psyche"...(I thought the latter is used in positive meaning. It's also a verb, which is used as "Psyche onself up" - or, "The kids are psyched about toys".. I also read "Bush's psyche.." In this sense, probablly, we can say: "The Japanese team had psyched themselves up" "They psyched out the Danes in this game"..etc. Although it's not particularly charming word anymore to use.. if it's not Psycho..?
It's like you say "Neato!" when you see something awesome, while you say "Neeto!" when you comdemn unemployed losers for living off of their mom's or daddy's wealth.
>>69 This person seems like trying to ridicule all other posters. deciding that he is a sociable, active person and others who post here..are all unsociable neats. - Do you believe the people posting here who have relatviely good English ability..are supposedly all such neats..who have improved their language skills in all such gutless environment..?
So, I currently live in Germany, and lately, ever since the crisis in Greece and the other PIGS, a lot of people here have been saying that European unification should be reverted to some degree, or even the EU be disbanded altogether, or split in half with the economically weaker countries left to their own devices. Me, I think we need *more* centralized European government, not less. Especially now. Many up here say it's unfair how the North has to pay for the South, even though Southerners receive way more social benefits from their governments. Everyone living under the same regulations would fix that. For example, Germans are especially upset about how they have to work until they're 67, while in Greece people retire at age 61. If the retirement ages in both countries were the same, agreed upon by a common government, there would be nothing to get upset about.
Incidently, there is the program of F1 tonight, too. Although the Japanese player of F1 does not look to advantage , I am going to record it for the time being.
I'm surprised at the win of Japan against Denmark in the World Cup, because I didn't have an expectation to them. But, I'm only surprised, not excited. When I'm excited about them, they get a victory in this time. I wonder if they can keep winning in the matches against some countries (Of course, including Republic of Paraguay where they gonna fight against day after tomorrow)and get a victory...
Moreover, if Japan can get the chance of a free kick well, Japan may win. Japan plays offensive soccer, and Japan can win its way up very well. I believe so. If it attacks, an enemy's foul will also increase.
If it can do, I would like to also see Shunsuke Nakamura's free kick.
I met a really nice Japanese man today. Unfortunately he is much younger than me. He is also shorter than me, but I have no problem with that. It is highly likely that I am not his type. Should I ask him out? What would he think? Could you please give me advice, onegaishimas.
It might certainly be correct. Unlike Showa, various sports are prosperous now. In the television station, viewership earnings are difficult. People's interests are also diversified. >
>>86 I wonder who is the lucky guy. Did you exchange your email addies? I'm not sure what exactly asing out means here but just meeting again and having fun over tea and chitchat would be great. It's totally all right if you contact him first.
Korea lost to Urguai and couldn't advance to best 8. Japan's next opponent is Paraguai, pretty similar name to Urguai. Even if Japan wins the game the next opponent is the winner of Spain and German, which are both candidates of the winner of WC.
To achieve the coach Okada's goal, which Japan being best 4, seems like a very tall order. Best 8 can be poossible, though.
Finally, some interesting stuff is going on here :)
My advice on this would be that you should ask him out if you like. It's true that females in Japan are more reactive than that. But, who cares about that. There is no golden standard for dating in any society. You never know that you might be his type. Besides, each person has different taste about women's age.
If he turns down, it's not gonna hurt you that much, unless he is a boss in your office. So just go ahead and see what happens.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxMSp3SHQC4 This movie looks like quite a controversial yet really heartwarming story. I haven't the slightest clue what they're talking about (guess it's Danish) but I'm sure some of you will love it. Love can start with a strong passion about any common interest, you know.
In my native language, there is a saying which goes, "foul words belong to the person who utter them", , Mr >>94
>>103, instead of pretending to be someone else, why don't you come out and live your life freely?
>>97 thank you for the sane response. I was at a friend's leaving party yesterday, I met him there. We are in different fields.
He is shy and quiet but I wondered what is behind that mask. He is good looking but not like the gorgeous Kamenashi. Thanks again for your kind advice.
>>107 What is his name? He must be Korean. You know, Korean guys are really popular among girls all over the world thanks to Korean Wave. Those fangirls of Korean guys say Korean guys are really smart, hot, manly, and attractive. They are all correct. You should look for a Korean date. He must be Mr perfect.
My American girlfriends say they are in love with Korean guys. They want to find as many Korean guys to go on a date with as possible because Korean guys are hot and appealing. White girls in these days seem to adore Korean guys. They know it's a tough competition, there are many more fangirls than there used to be years ago. All the girls around the world are quite mesmerised with Korean guys. That's the truth. I'm proud of it.
>>111 It's true, but nowadays Korean guys are getting popular among guys all over the world too. You know, thanks to not only Korean Wave but the World Cup, which is the world's most widely viewed sporting event, hundreds of millions of guys are absolutely enamoured and obsessed with the flamboyance of the Korean national team. Sadly enough, they have already lost to Urguai and are gone now, but hey, you can get a Korean boyfriend any minute now!
>>112 The number of fangirls of Korean guys are surprisingly on the increase. There's no doubt about that. American girls tend to get enthusiastic when they are in the presense of Korean guys. Even American girls seem to feel vulnerable when talking to Korean guys. They must feel nervous coz they want to be in relationship with a Korean guy. That's understandable. Korean guys are hot, manly, reliable and attractive. Korean guys make even American girls feel weak inside. I'm proud of it. :)
>>113 You don't seem to understand how attracted you are to Korean guys deep down. You say you are scared, but in reality it's another form of love. I'm sure you will fall in love with the Korean guy soon. I'm proud of it. :)
>>113 Just take his hand, and feel warmth of Korean guys. You will change your mind in no time. You will be totally mesmerised with Korean guys. I'm sure of it. :)
>>116 Absolutely not! Why would I? There are a number of fangirls of Korean guys all over the world. I'm just hammering the truth into your head. Many girls all around the world would envy you if you go out with K boys. :)
I strongly recommend to girls all around the world that they should go out with Korean guys. Korean guys are amazingly popular with girls all around the world. If you want to feel like a star, then you should ask out Korean guys. If you enjoy the company of Korean guys, girls all around the world envy you. You will feel special that way. :)
>>116 What's wrong with a guy hiding his preference for Korean guys? Seriously, you may want to be a little more sensitive about it. Or are you trying to say he should be punished if he falls in love with a guy?
Korean guys are popular among girls all over the world. If you search on the internet, you will find many websites that deal with Korean guys, created by fangirls of Korean guys. They are serious about finding a Korean date. They are looking for a Korean date. I'm proud of it. :)
>>116. I am not implying anything. It is one's own choice and natural orientation. I understand that you want your feelings towards Korean men acknowledged. Is that true? Am I being too insensitive again?
>>123 I speak for all the girls around the world. So if you are not a girl, you can't understand how they feel, but you shouldn't be ignorant of how very popular Korean gus are among girls all over the world. :)
As I wrote before Japanese media reported England team in this WC is one of the candidate of winning WC the best England national team compared to Englnd natioal teams in the past.
But it turned out that it couldn' advanced to best 8. Man!
>>123. I am a woman and you cannot speak on behalf of me. I think you are going too far to dictate what we should like. Perhaps you are deliberately doing this for some sort of anti-Korean propaganda. The gentleman in question is Japanese, not Korean. Thank you.
>>128 I'm glad it turned out like that. I don't even care about soccer, but the English are always MASSIVE cunts about it when they win at something, or manage to draw, or even just lose not decisively enough. Actually, I've just taken a quick look at a few sports forums, and they're being horrible losers. I didn't see much of the game, but there seems to have been an English goal that wasn't acknowledged by the ref. They act like they lost only because of that decision, as if that would matter in a 1 - 4 thrashing.
If that goal would have counted, it would have been 2 - 2. England wouldn't have overexerted themselves to score a goal to become level again but that's what led to Germany scoring another goal.
Now, I am looking at the video of Japan's game. Honda is doing the fake at the time of Endo's free kick. A score pattern from a foul by a free kick is specialty of Japan . I also want the next to win in these tactics. Also in the next, Japan wins. I think so.
The rapid growth of the popularity of Korean guys surprised males all over the world while it was taken for granted by fangirls of Korean guys who knew all along that Korean guys are manly, sexy, hot and smart. It's proven that those girls are quite right. I often come across white girls on Youtube who say they want to be a Korean guy's girlfriend. They ask me for advice, so I reply to them, "it really is tough to become a girlfriend of a Korean guy because Korean guys are amazingly popular among girls all over the world. You've already noticed there are many girls like you, right? Read comments here that say, "Korean guys are hot" and "Drooling" and so on. The first thing you should do is let Korean guys know where you are. You should appeal to Korean guys, because Korean guys still don't know about you. Ask him out if you can." Then those fangirls of Korean guys seem really happy to make a reply to me. Korean guys are really popular with girls. I'm proud of it. :)
>>143 Wow, you can't read, can you? That's what I always say to fangirls of Korean guys on YT. The comment boxes there are full of love for Korean guys.
>>146 That means "Korean guys notice fangirls of Korean guys (you) want to go out with Korean guys thanks to your effort such as "by saying are you seeing someone? or I like your smile or whatever you can do to drop hints how you are interested in korean guys."
>>147 I don't know what you're mumbling about there, but I take it that you wanna get attention from Korean guys. Don't be shy, you know, just make a move first and see how it goes. Where you at?
>>148 I have no idea what you are saying. I support fangirls of Korean guys, so why should I need attention from them? I'm no gay. Korean guys are popular among girls all over the world. I'm proud of it. :)
I know there are many guys all over the world who are jealous of the popularity of Korean guys, who are really hot, smart, sexy and manly. But you can also be popular with girls if you learn lessons from Korean guys.
>>149 C'mon, I know what you're doing there. Or are you trying to be tsundere or something? I have to go get something to eat for luch, but just leave your addie here so a potential Korean boyfriend can reach you. You know, maybe you'll be the luckiest guy in this thread!
An average South Korean's face is awkward. It is known when the face of soccer representation is seen. Although a sport player is a foreign handsome set, why is a South Korean player awkward? I am very wonderful.
I cannot concentrate on work until world soccer finishes. It is interesting especially this year. Although there is also that Japan won their way up, it is mere a few. Because the capability of each player of a world level is being improved
Although it is a digression, there are many scenes on which misjudgment of a referee is conspicuous. It is a regrettable thing.
>>157 They are both good teams. On one hand, Netherlands are in the 4th place on the FIFA rank. On the other hand, Germany is in the 6th. That said, I started to think Germany is really strong after watching the match versus England. German players are really swift and phisically strong. Personally, there's a strong possibility Germany will win the world cup.
At the same time, it came home to me that there's a wide gap between those first-rate teams and Japan's national team. I can't imagine Japan will go to semi final, which was the goal Okada set up before going to South Africa.
Japanese media has reported that Spain is the best in this WC followed by Brasil and Argentina and other Europian countries such as Germany and Holland.
>>168 We're buch of English learners so what's the problem of making mistakes? Without making mistakes in the process of learning whatever languages, you can't get better.
I'm mentally tired from watching the world cup game. There was a chance Japan won. It was close. The national team of Japan did its best. I want to say thank you for each and every player.
Yeah, it was close. They did their best and I have nothing to complain. I want Komano, who missed PK, to keep his head up. Nobody can blame him. He should be proud of himself.
Japan lost honorably, that's all good and pretty wonderful actually. In fact, y'all should be relieved now to not have to see Spain raping the living crap out of Japan.
>>184 Oh, my! I thought you were just a troll but seems like you're right. I'm not a Korean stars fan in any way but I had impression that he's a nice and friendly man when I saw him on TV (Hey!Hey!Hey!)
I can't believe it. He must have been in a serious dipression or something. otherwise, no reasons for him to kill himself.
me neither, i'm bulgarian. Obama is the USA president. Don't you watch the news sometimes :? WTF ,,, i still can't believe that .. educate yourself a little bit :)
Mr. Park Yong-Ha's obituary is really sad. I am sadder than Japan's best 8 advance failure. It is because I understand well when saying that I understood defeat of Japan. I would like to pray for the bliss of the dead truly.
I've finally completed Dragon Age now. It took over 75 hours! Just before the final onslaught, however, I forced Alister to marry Anora the Queeen, and then talked him into sleeping with Morrigan. Am I corrupted? lol I don't know those were right decisions, but as for Morrigan, I knew she would leave the party if I refused to let her do so ( I watched Dragon Age gameplay videos, that's why). Anyway, Dragon Age was superbly fun and interesting to go through. I need to play it from the beginning. DLCs must be intriguing too. Haven't done them this time yet. Oh, and I must tell you guys that I didn't cheat on Leliana with Zevran. I wanted to keep her beside me. lol AH, I remember to say this, I didn't successfully unlock the Ranger class, still have no idea how. Have to search.
ahhh. I am disappointed. The young Japanese gentleman did not contact me. Well, I did not give him the meishi directly, I told his flatmate who was leaving the country to pass it on to him. Maybe he forgot.
>>221 So you are a chinese, aren't you? It might have been better to have approached him as a friend at first. You'd never try to ask out a stranger, or a casual acquaintance, on the first contact, wouldn't you say?
Chinese? No I am not. Your deduction is wrong, if you base it on the fact that the clip is Chinese subbed. Most Jclips on youtube are. I am learning Japanese, so I understand a miniscule amount of what is being said.
I did not say i was going to ask him out "on the first contact".
I tried to create a situation whereby, the gentleman in question would need my assistance on his arrival.
Maybe he is looking daikon, but cannot find it.
"ahh yes I was looking for daikon... I cannot find it in the Chinese shops..."
"don't worry ikemen-san, I will show where the find the best daikon in town.."
So off we meet and I show him the shop.
"ahhh that was a lot of work. want to rest at that Brazilian Cafe?
How long have you two known each other? I thought there was no problem to call him a casual aquaintace, though. And you seemed to took me wrong. I didn't say you were going to ask him out on the first contact. I said you "would" never do so to a person you still don't know much about. From what you wrote, there was nothing personal so far, right? That's why I suggest it might been good to be friends at first.
There is broadcast of a quarterfinal this evening. It is exciting. Probably the work will not be able to concentrate. Since it is once in four years well, it is good,isn't it?
Tome quarter finals are most intriguing. All good teams are still left in the tournament (sorry for Italy and others), and we can enjoy four good games.
> the work will not be able to concentrate. Do you mean you have to work on Friday evening?
The person doesn't seem to leak his/her personal infomation but I don't think it hurts. S/he used Venus because its word form was sort of famililar. I don't know why the person doesn't want to use Vietnamese, though. Vietnamese is completely Ok, in my opinion. Just have confidence.
Now the story itself is getting suspicious. Why didn't he try to give his own name card by himself? What made him ask his friend to pass it to the Japanese man in question if he really had given him his assistance at his arrival (at where??). This is my wild guess, but he felt weak because he didn't know if the Japanese man was gay.
It's not that bad here in my place. My thermo/higro meter indicates it's 27 degrees celcius with 60 percent humidity. If I shut the windows, it may be muggy, but it's sort of breezy, so it's ok.
>>257 I do not like an air conditioner fundamentally. Electric cost is quite required. It is not good for health. A concrete temperature is not known. Anyway, I endure it as long as it is possible to do.
According to the news about Japan soccer team, in 1 July, they arrived at the Kansai international airport. In the news, I thought Keisuke Honda wearing a round edge sun- glasses looked Tatsuo Kamon, who is one of Japanese famous comic singers and well -known for "Kaeuta Medly (In English,Parody songs medly)" and "Hana kara gyunyu(in English, Milk from nose)"and so on. I wonder if everybody saw the news had an opinion that is nearly same to mine.
>>259 I thought whether to have been adoption from the program of Yuusaku Matsuda's detective fiction word. I think that the sunglasses suited him anyway.
>>267 the former is usually much better, though it depends on the degree of ugliness for the female in the latter. Whan banging an ugly women, it's difficult to complete the entire process. I mean, it's difficult to keep my dick erected.
The game of Brazil and the Netherlands was wonderful. Mr. Nishimura's way of a referee was also good. Probably, supervisor Dunga is getting angry,isn't he ?
I went to theater to see Bayside Shakedown the movie 3. It was fun and interesting. That's what I lived up to.
By the way, I have a question about this english phrase that's crossed my mind: the past tense form of "go see something". It is supposed to be "went saw" or "went see"? Or both are correct? Any explanation will be appreciated.
>>289 Though I don't explain (it's 3:50 in the Eastern TIme of the US, and I'm totally drunken), "went saw" does not make sense at all. It sounds odd. "went see" is just fine.
I got to go bed and be prepared for two quarter-final games.
It is overly advanced English. Everybody, a good child, had better not imitate. Although it is good for a part for the person expert in English to understand and use. It is too difficult for me. Thank you
It is the Argentina game today. No, is it a battle of a team (Maradona) ? Maradona's image is so strong.An interesting game is likely to be shown. Exciting !
>>302 Maradona Argentina was routed. Organizing ability of Germany was extraordinarily wonderful. Japan in which a striker is not present should also follow Germany's example. Although Argentina was routed, Maradona was appreciating the player just. The contents of a game themselves were not so bad. I was impressed. I keenly realized the lowness of the level of J. League with it.
The power of the office of Yoshimoto and Johnny's is powerful. Yoshimoto is forcing of the entertainer who is not interesting. Johnny's is a hush of talent's scandal.
The fun of making a program for television is halved by the these two major offices. To be sure in respect of making an eager program, Johnny's is doing its best.
>>326 What a shame. Is he really straight? There's no chance he can go on a date with Kame then. But I still think there's a chance Kame will enjoy his forbidden fruit. He can lead Kame to a new world.
You are talking aboout Kame when I wasn't looking???
>>311, >>323, >>324 What happened, it looked like a normal programme? Did MatsuJun cause an incident?
What do you mean when you say office (=management)?
A lot of people dislike Kame. They post his before and after pictures. Just look at the comments on youtube and you will understand his popularity abroad. It is not only his looks, it's his moves. He is not tall, has a long face and a broken nose. He looks like half man-half snake, so otherworldly.
>>329 I am not surprised that he has male followers on his thread.
Kame is straight. Rumours say he married KyonKyon in secret. I think I saw her carrying a ring necklace in her latest photo.
2ch is really funny. Becuse of anonymity, it is hard to say "It's me!" with a few exceptions. I know at least one person on this thread knows who we are. He seems to have access to our IPs. Perhaps he is a security guy.
>>336 I haven't heard about the rumour. Who started it? Are you jealous of her?
Anyway, Kyonkyon appeared in Bayside Shakedown the movie 3. She seduced a mental health counselor to get her out of the jail and let her kill herself in the Wangan police station.
The person seems to have finally appeared. Where is he? Is he really in Vietnam? China? Korea? I suppose he went to meet Kame when Katun hold a concert abroad.
>>who is this male Kame fan? I want to hear from him. As far as I know I am the only fan on this thread, >>345 I'd applaud her if the rumours are true. I'd say "Go girl!" Older woman, younger man. A great combination. Soo sexy.
A certain number of girls seems to have interest in An Cafe on a glocal scale, but those interested in Kame are fewer than that. An Cafe was reportedly popular especially in Finland.
>>348 I see you are following the news. You probably might have heard that Akanishi is in LA, and might have gotten married too. Kat-tun may dissolve soon. Kame wants to retire anyways.
. >>353 I do not have the kwsk. He has connection with BOA they say. >>352 Thanks for posting the links. i have neverheard of An Cafe. They seem to have a lot of followers but I know Finnish youth follow any rubbish band. >>354 Not heard of them. Hyde looks too feminine. Kame looks delicate but still a boyish masculine.
Compared to An Cafe, Johney's members are not popular in Europe. They are only known to Asian people. So all Arashi could do was go around Asia. by around Asia, it means only Taiwan, Korea, and Shanghai, though.
>>362 AH, I forgot about her. As far as I know, Akanishi has a "blond" fetish. He loves blond girls and half-American girls, and Arashiro Beni is half American, half Japanese.
Akanishi is extremely handsome and has his own aura and more popular. Kame is absolutely imperfect and has that "look". How to explain it. He looks like he knows himself well.
>>368 Why Sweden in particular? He likes to use English as you know, that's why he studied in LA. Guess he'd kill to live in LA, where he wants to find English speaking blond girls.
>>370 No, he's interested in American blond girls, I believe. There's a big difference between American girls and English girls. American girls are straightforward and exciting to spend time with. He chose to go to LA so he's likely to come back in LA.
>>377 No, there's no possiblity they have any firm fanbase in Europe. Johney's can't do bussiness there. Several thousands fans in the whole Europe are not enough to open a concert. That's why I think they will never try to advertise there. An Cafe is exceptional.
>>375 I don't mean to say Sweadish girls are nice, but as far as Akanishi is concerned, he has never shown interest in them. American girls seem to appeal to him a lot. That's his preference. Not Sweadish girls fault.
>>377 Are you a Johnny's executive, how did you manage to get such inside information I wonder?
I am talking about fans+potential fans. It would definitely work. It is a matter of promotion. Because Kat-tun is exotic to European eys and ears, it would gain recognition.
Maybe they should put me in charge of Kat-tun promotion.
Anyway, I have to go out. I thank you the sweet people of this thread with a song.
I don't know about other countries, but you can throw any visual kei band at a certain subset of Finnish teen girls and they will beg to give you their money.
>>380 Come on, please think carefully. Even when Katun holds a concert in Japan or Taiwan, there'll be at least tens of thousands of fangirls buy tickets. If they go to Sweden, I guess there's a thousand people gathering at best. They can't cover the cost. Plus, I have never heard Katun's CDs were selling well in Europe. So there's no chance. That's my conclusion. Sorry about that.
>>384 You are saying this because you are interested in Katun, but most of the Europian girls would think differently. If the promotion ends up in failure (and I'm sure it will), the agency has to pay a huge price. They can earn big money only in Japan and other regions are just additional. Why bother to take such a risk? It's not worth it. They can go to Sweden after their CDs sell well and they know how much need there is to meet their fangirls. One hundred? Ten thousand? That's not worth spending huge money advertising in Europe.
Europe is larger than sweden as you migght have noticed. It is only a tiny minority. Western plus Eastern Europe is a huge market. Anyway I have to dash!
If An Cafe was superbly popular in Japan they were too busy to go to Europe. Katun is too busy to pay attention to Europe and there's not so many fangirls there. The number of their fangirls in Europe are so small that Johney's agency will never be attentive. I'm quite sure of that.
>>386 Sure the whole Europe would be a big market, but no one believe any Asian boy group will be a hit there no matter how well marketing is conducted.
>>320 >If a woman over 20 is still virgin without any religous reasons, >we'd better avoid her as a girl friend.
I can understand not wanting a frigid girlfriend, but what if she's just very shy? And I don't see why being a religious nut makes her a better choice. That's a minus in my book. I mean, even those "virgin" women in Muslim countries, who risk being killed by their own family if they have sex before marriage, tend to have had anal and oral intercourse with several men before they get married. No normal person is as dull as those religions want us to be.
I am American. My wife and I went to Akiba yesterday, and noticed there were some white girls who were handing out fliers for maid cafes. The weird part is that they were hideously ugly. Do Japanese people just not know how ugly they are? Is it hard to tell?
Takanohana's action is sly. Takanohana offered secession from the board of directors of Sumo Association to a series of carelessness. The action is the deed which can take responsibility evasion Although it turns out that he wants to be upright and to be, it is an act equal to escaping from difficulty a little before. His action is dirty.
>>388 what makes you belive an Asian boy band will not gain recognition? Show me one boy band member from Europe or America that look as good as Japanese/Korean boy band members. To me they look like sausages. European teens should be introduced the concept of uber-ikemen boy bands. Once they get it, there is no turning back.
The viewership of the program of Iitomo will be the worst. The entertainer who is appearing is also trivial. Although nobody is looking, why is it continuing?
>>397 Tell me exactly where Japanese boys are popular in Europe. I wouldn't go so far as to say no Europian girls are interested in J boys, but the truth is that they don't have a proper market there. If Johnny's members are so naive as to buy what you say, I'm positive they'll be depressed and thwarted by knowing the truth.
Johnny's members are not so idiotic that they will believe such noisy minority because the ones that suffer loss of money and feel miserable are themselves. They won't go anywhere near a place where a ridiculously huge number of girls welcome them for the agency is shrewd enough to use it in advertising in Japan. If Johnny's boys are treated badly or it turned out they are not popular at all overseas (Europe or America), it'll hurt their reputation. So they won't take such risk. On the bright side, though, Johnny's agency seems to know they are sort of popular in Asia, so there may be another chance Arashi will go around Asia, but that's just me.
>>384 I'd rather ask you what you see in Kame. You said yourself he looks ugly like toad or frog or anything like that. Do you honestly believe Swedish girls like a boy like that?
>>404 However, Akanishi is doing its best, isn't he ? His English ability seems to be considerably high. It seems that he has already worked apart from other members in the United States.
>>410 I don't know if he's active in America. Is that true? What is he doing there? Just dawdling? On vacation? On business? Possibly, he quit, didn't he?
Oh, and you might say it's a matter of promotion, but that's not fair. Let me make this clear. An Cafe didn't use huge money to advertise themselves in Europe. Rather they were invited to come visit by some German promotor who noticed there was a lot of fans in Europe. In other words, it's Europian fans who invited An Cafe to Europe. On the other hand, if Katun wants to perform in Europe, they have to use lots of money on promotion, because they have almost no fanbase there. And since most Europian girls are not interested in Katun no matter what the promotion, they won't be welcome. I'm sure Johnny's agency know that. That's why Katun will not go to Europe.
>>413 Yeah, it's Spanish. But I'm a bit confused right now, is An Cafe a pure boy band or a mixed group? I can't tell the gender of some of the band members.
I didn't kwow that there are such a huge number of Johnny's fans on this thread. What kind of people are you? English learners who happen to be Johnny's fans, or Johnny's fans who can only use English?
>>417 They are all males. You can call them feminine.
>>418 I wonder if he's still in contact with the other Katun members. I guess not. Anyway, there are lots of Asian girls in LA. Compared to that, An Cafe was sort of popular with Caucasian girls. That's a big difference.
Why do a chairman of a program, etc. get the stand-up comedian who is not so still
weaker as Chutoriaru? It will be the power of the business of Yoshimoto Kogyo. Fukuda is completely especially boring. When it says a decade ago, it is Masato Yamada . Thank you .
>>423 I think she'd purse/bite her lip when she read you. She needs to be brought back to earth. Even her friends say they won't be intrigued by a person like Kamenashi. She knows that.
People over 20 who are idol fans be it male or female tend to have unfortunate looks. It's natural for lower teens to be idol fans, but most grow out of it simply because they find real life partners. People with unfortunate looks can't, so they stay fantasizing about idols. It's natural to think an idol is attractive, of course they look good. But to idolize them after highschool is like telling the world how pathetic your love life is.
>>431 Meh he's way too outdated for this thread, you know, especially after this song came out and now it matches the latest trend in here. Don't be shy, I know you like it too!!!
Although it was Tokyo, it became flood under a floor. A guerrilla heavy rain is dreadful. Are those who are coming for sightseeing to Japan safe ? The damage of the past several year guerrilla heavy rain is uncanny in Japan. Some people have passed away in the sad thing. It is better to be cautious of the weather information on this time. I think that I will come out with a larger umbrella although I also go out today. It is a foppish colorful parasol usually. Of course, the larger umbrella is carried out strongly black.
Although it is anxious also about the weather, it is anxious also about an economic trend. Advance of a strong yen does not stop. In the worst-case scenario, it becomes the level of 86 yen.
Kamenashi, Akanishi.... Yeah, I know those names, but if I'm not mistaken, there are other members in Ka-Tun, but I can't remember the names and the face... Kira would do anything to know them.
Tomorrow is the Netherlands-Uruguay game day, I am looking forward to watching it.
Naturally, I do not support either of them. But, because of their filthy play in the end of last game, I think Uruguay team is a king of cheaters, and lean torward Netherlands, a bit.
I'm a male, but oddly I don't have any hate feeling towards Arashi members, probably because they don't put up a front, at least to the best of my knowledge. SMAP? They seem sort of arrogant, aren't they? Ka-tun? They try to look cool and it's kind of disgusting. So it's natural Arashi's became the most popular among Johnny's talents.
>>453 As you may or may not know, Ninomiya also caused an automobile accident, when he drove his car, and according to the recent news, his case was brought to the court, though I'm sure the woman, reportedly aged around 30, won't file a civil case. What about Matsumoto's case? I don't know much about it.
>>464 It's pretty good, but they like the original better, 'cause Samwell did a fabulous job of putting a 'man in the mood' feel to it in a subdued but joyful tone, like lots of guys here discuss thoughtfully yet enthusiastically who's the hottest Johnny's boy ever of all time. And remember, sometimes they're delicate like a flower, you know.
>>469 I just translated Kame Nashi into English. Kame is turtle and Nashi is pear, so Kamenashi is Turtle Pear in English. I should've told you first. Sorry about that.
>>471 Rick Roll is something I got to know here in this thread. You can watch South Park version of "what what in the butt" videos in related video section on the page. Anyway, I got you!
>>475 You're doing it all wrong... How can you call it Rick Roll or Butt Roll when you're TELLING EVERYONE WHAT THE VIDEO IS. You're supposed to say it's a video about naked chicks or whatever sounds interesting; if it's a thread about an accident, you say it's the video about the accident. Only THEN you fooled people. Fool.
It was good to rise early. the Netherlands !-- strong ! However, Uruguay was also good. They were the wonderful contents of a game. I was very impressed again.
I come to my room after a long long day and look what I have found. The WHOLE thread is dicussing Johnny's boys. I am beyond amazed guys. To the person who asked about "what I see in Turtle Pear": I can only tell you the reason in private. It is NOT what you think at all. I never said he was ugly by the way. I said he is imperfect. Kat-tun shows are definitely more exciting than Arashi shows.
can I ask you something.
WHY ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT JOHNNY's? Knowing that I am the only fan here?
>>481 Stop whining. You are the only fan? Cut it out. I like Arashi. They are better singers than Ka-tun. No, the best among all the Johnney's groups. They are funny and energetic as well. That's why they are the most popular now.
>>454 I didn't watch the game live, I just read about the result on an online article, but Holland seemed to be really impressive. They won by the margin of one point? Hyu, I remember Holland won against Japan by the margin of one point as well. Which means.... Japan must have had a chance to go to semi final if luck was in Japan's side? lol Just kidding, but isn't it fun to think that way?
I know enthusiastic fans of Arashi pay a visit to Japan in order to see their live performance from Asian countries, such as Taiwan, Macau, Korea, and Beijin...
>>483 I also think so. The members of Arashi are amiable. I considered the reason. I think that it is the point that everybody have a respectively good starring or semi- starring teleplay program. If it says correctly, although I will not know Mr. Aiba's drama.His character has still come also out of Mr. Aiba before. The program of the Bambino of MatsuJun in me is a favorite most.
>>494 Off course, just a matter of weather. It lives in the place which is not so much visible in a star even if it is fine generally. When saying so, the elaborate toy to which whether it was from TAKARA can carry out astronomical observation was put on the market.
Why does the Liberal-Democratic Party become the sponsor of the game of soccer and K1 ? It is sick, although a good game is seen and it is rising. As for the Liberal Democratic Party, doing is dirty as usual. Tanigaki is annoying.
The election campaign of the Liberal Democratic Party is irritated. How does the Liberal Democratic Party take the responsibility which has made Japan the debt power until now? May the Liberal Democratic Party be with a sufficient tune at CM? The Liberal Democratic Party is an irresponsible political party.
Kawashima opted for the overseas transfer. The house seems to be rich and, seemingly, was also carrying out linguistic study. The language study seems to be skilled to Kawashima.

A hippie gets onto a bus and sits next to a nun in the front seat. The hippie looks over and asks the nun if she would have sex with him. The nun, surprised by the question, politely declines and gets off at the next stop.
When the bus starts again, the bus driver says to the hippie, "If you want, I can tell you how you can get that nun to have sex with you." The hippie of course says that he'd love to know, so the bus driver tells him that every Tuesday evening at midnight the nun goes to the cemetery to pray to the lord. "If you went dressed in robes and some glowing powder," says the bus driver, "You could tell her you were God and command her to have sex with you." The hippie decides to try this out.
That Tuesday, he goes to the cemetery and waits for the nun. Right on schedule, the nun shows up. While she's in the middle of praying, the hippie walks out from hiding, in robes and glowing with a mask of god. "I am God, I have heard your prayers and I will answer them but you must have sex with me first," he says. The nun agrees but asks for anal sex so she might keep her virginity. The hippie agrees to this and quickly sets about having sex with the nun. After the hippie finishes, he rips off his mask and shouts out, "Ha ha, I'm the hippie! " The nun replies by whipping off her mask and shouting, "Ha ha, I'm the bus driver!"
>After the hippie finishes, he rips off his mask and shouts out, "Ha ha, I'm the hippie!
>The nun replies by whipping off her mask and shouting, "Ha ha, I'm the bus driver!"
In the sentenses above, "rip off one's mask" and "whip off one' mask." Are these idioms used figuratively or were the hippies and the bus drivers wearing a real mask that looks like God and a nun respectively?
>>530 Deliver the aroma of Starbucks coffee to us via Internet.
I don't usually go to Starbucks, Tally's coffee etc. bacause coffee there cost a fortune for me, more than 300 yen, or $3.3. Canned coffee you can buy at a convenience store or from a vending machine cost just a 120yen, or $1.3.
So I can't shell out that much money for Starbucks coffee so I stick to cheap 120 yen coffee. Nothing I can do because I'm NEET. Of course coffee at Starbucks is a lot mor tasty but there's nothing I can do to enjoy coffee there.
I want to ask the Kamenashi girl if she really is a fan of his. Kamenashi likes to play/watch baseball. Did you know that? If you talk with a boy like that, you should come with him to baseball games. Do you like baseball? If you find baseball rubbish or something boring only couch potatoes watch, then you'll never click with him. Learn about baseball and make friends with Japanese boys!!
I was busy apologising to people today. So I am not in a good mood.
I don't care about Johnny boy's strength, they look good, mostly fit and slim and sweet.I am sure they are stronger than me...
Yes I followed Kamenashi's Going episodes. I saw how hard he tries in baseball. I know whe is a baseball boy. I wouldn't mind watching the games. it is more interesting than football.
Hi guys, this is probably the only place that I can understand everything lol. I am a Chinese who live in Netherlands, but I am studying in New York now. I have been studying Japanese since January, it is really difficult. I can't really understand the posts written in Japanese in other sections. But I do hope I can learn some vocabulary in this forum:) btw, I study Japanese because I really love anime!! Good luck to those who are also learning English!
>>558 Being anime fan and learning Japanese is two different things. I heard lots of anime fans overseas take Japanese course at high school or university but end up failing it.
Just being an avid anime fan doesn't make you fluent in Japanese. The same is true about Japanese English learners though. Being Hollywood movie fan doesn't make you fluent in English.
Because of my messes I've made in the shop where I worked in, I was fired from my part-time job... So, I have to find a part-time job again... Sigh, I have to buy resumes and take a photo for putting on a resume...
>>547 You might know a little about baseball, but I don't suppose you've heard about Japan's profesional baseball league. Well, Japanese baseball boys who happen to be in relationship with a foreign girl would be happy to hear their girlfriend talking about Ichiro. The same would go for Kame. One of the topics suitable for both casual&serious partners.
>>567 She isn't American. Even among them, there must be lots of girls who don't know about Ichiro. So the Kame girl possibly didn't even heard his name, I guess.
Kame girl isn't even a girl, she's a obasan who fits the >>427 description perfectly.
Got in trouble at work and had a rough day, boohoo. But instead of posting about it on facebook, twitter or a blog, she comes to this thread. And not just venting about it anonymously, she announces she is kame girl to gain recognition. Pretty pathetic I'd say.
>>569 No matter the age, a girl is a girl. Plus, there's a certain number of males who likes to go out with an older woman - take Kamenashi for examle. And Udo and Akiyama is famous for their preference for older women, you know. In particular, Udo says he find over 60 y/o women very attractive. That's an extreme example, though.
Personally, I have no problem with 40 y/o women, if they look cute and nice, because they are usually mentally mature and nice to younger partner, don't they?
Yes I have unfortunate looks. I have three eyes, a green complexion and antennae to match. I am frightening to look at. But unlike you, I do not bad mouth people out of the blue or try to put them down. >>567 You are talking about Ichiro Suzuki I guess, He is world famous, isn't he?
>>569 >>571 You guys are totally wrong and have a fundamental lack of understanding of what's happening here. I urge you to better grasp the reality and deal with it asap. There are lots of types of girls out there these days, including ones that used to be men but have now transformed into the girliest girls ever by having a transexual surgery. They talk, act, look (almost to none), and post like girls, their innate sexual identity being still male. Right, she is a kame girl, but in essence is a big fat ossan, and you all have to know and accept her as she is.
>>576 Oh, you heard about him? I believe he's the most famous Japanese baseball player and that would apply to the countries where baseball is nationally popular such as America, Cuba, Korea etc. but I can't go so far as to say he's world famous. In Europe and Africa, I think fewer people are interested in baseball. That's why.
>>577 What's in it for her, pretending to be a female? If she were a man, she wouldn't have felt shy when she met a Japanese guy. I suppose there is a second chance for her to get in contact with him.
>>577 Do you specialise in slandering people that you haven't even met? What do you gain out of it, does it make you feel more intelligent than you really are. I am sure it doesn't make you feel like you are a better person.
>>582 I'm not quite sure what she really wants here except random attention, which is more or less what all cotehans or namefags enjoy soaking up on anonymous boards and she gets that here. Guess she's fine.
The Democratic Party is likely to lose at an election. It is likely to carry out a remarkable complete defeat. The Liberal Democratic Party is likely to revive. The strategy of the Liberal Democratic Party excels. Such a thing sets aside. We will pile and go up the Jhonnys' talk today also.
>>585 I don't understand the opposition. It's not like I'm going to vote for Satan just because I'm originally from a different country. I'll just vote for the candidate with the biggest nose. Just so that I can relate to him. You know how it is.
I wonder if the kame girl wants to see the guy again. To begin with, we don't know if he's single, so she might have no chance from the beginning. Also, she didn't seem serious either. She dropped it probably. Are we wasting time considering her romance?
Currently, we Japanese have no choice but to rely on bureaucrats. Law makers can't even make laws. They only can sign Bills made by bureaucrats. If only we quit depending on bureaucrats,..
>>596 She likes only good-looking guys. Guess she didn't know who he was, so chances are it was better that way, I mean, if he wasn't the type of the guy she believed he was, she would have been shocked to stand up again. I hope she will find a good guy, that doesn't mean "looks".
>>591 Check out their videos and user comments on YT. As I see it, they have fans overseas, but it seems most of those fangirls are teenagers, so adult women are probably not enthusiastic about Hey say jump.
>>603 Well there's the requirements to become a Japanese citizen; like having to adopt a Japanese name and not allowing duel-citizenship. And there's those Koreans. The problem with them probably stems from the previous point.
>>585-608 >It's not like I'm going to vote for Satan just because I'm originally from a different country. But if you're from China or America, you might vote for a pro-US or pro-China party, for example. >Well there's the requirements to become a Japanese citizen I don't know what you have to do in order to gain citizenship in Japan. But unless first-generation immigrants can't become citizens through reasonable means, I don't see an issue here. Sounds like common sense to me. Unless we're talking about those Koreans, who (claim to?) have been basically abducted during the war. >adopt a Japanese name would you rather have your friends not being able to pronounce your name and your children made fun of by the other kids in school because of their funny name? >and not allowing dual-citizenship There are some exceptional situations, but in general, I hate the concept of dual-citizenship. If you want to participate in the politics of a country, your allegiance should be to *that* country only, not divided between your 5 different passports.
>Are there any European people here? I'm European, but I didn't follow the World Cup at all. 本田 makes decent cars, though.
I'm Japanese but won't go to vote tomorrow for the election. I am hikikomori so what's the point in bothering to go to vote? I don't care what party will win. I spend less than average consumers in Japan so raising consumption tax isn't that big problem to me.
I wish the planet earth explode tomorrow. My wish is trigger-happy party becomes a leading party of Japan and wage war against insane countries like North Korea. The Kim jon Il, the leader of NK launch Nuclear weapons and BANG! Smash! WHATEVER! The world is over and that's what I want.
I wonder if Kame will go to a vote place. About ten million people already voted before the election date, tommorow, and probably he already voted because if he appeared there, fangirls will go out of control, asking him for autograph and hand-shaking.
Also I knew she said she was a fan of Kame, but it's not possible that she came visit Japan in order to see him perform on stage. If she did, I'm quite sure she must have mentioned it. Don't you think so? How deep is her fandom? Youtube viewer?
>>616 Don't let yourself tricked into a old woman's trap! She's horrible! She would do whatever it takes to fool young boys to serve her! You should know that!
I do not have Kame's poster on my wall. I have a list of things I want to follow to achieve my goals. I do not import magazines from Japan. They are far too expensive and my Japanese is at elementary level. I pondered about this Kame-obsession a lot. I found out some interesting observations. I am in love with his ability to concentrate and do things just right. He loves attention and has to rise above the rest. So he strives and has a mental attitude that he can do his best. He is self demeaning to the point of inferiority complex at the same time.
I have never been to Japan. I would have loved to see their Tokyo Dome show. What an awesome production.
But I had a lovely Japanese family dinner at a colleague's house yesterday. I was moved by their kind hospitality. Their children were so sweet and handsome. I hope I managed to answer some of your questions.
How deep is my Kat-tun fandom? not much. In life sometimes you need mirrors to meet yourself. Such obsessions provide clues to who you are sometimes. That is all.
This is what happened yesterday or the the before yesterday in a game. I wonder how you'd react if Kame run to you and touched you gently. You'd act like her?
This video shows very well how he's recognized among baseball fans in US. In case you don't know much about baseball, he used to play baseball in Japan but 9 or 10 years ago he decided to play baseball in US where the professional baseball league is higher level than Japanese one.
>>619 I remembered Ichiro and Kame has something in common.
Ichiro loves older woman. Actually, his wife is 9 years older than him. They have no kids. All the have is a Japanese dog named 一弓(いっきゅう) 一(いち)as in "Ichi"ro and 弓 comes from 弓子(ゆみこ), his wife's name. So each Kanji characters usde for the dog name come from the names of both Ichiro and his wife. His wife worked for a TV station as a news reader.
Seemingly, each provider has received regulation for the election day. It seems that the third-place play-off of Germany and Uruguay was also wonderful.
I didn't get to meet him again. I know what he does, and where he lives. But there isn't a way of meeting him, because his flatmate, who was my friend, is not living there anymore. I do not want to be pushy, but will ask him out for coffee if I bump into him again. I guess that is considered acceptable.
>>633 If you mention you're interested in Japanese language, culture, etc,(which you may have already done,) then he will have positive impression on you and be interested in you.
Becoming a language partner with him would be ideal for seeing him regulary and getting to know each other. But to make being a language partner work, both has to have the same level of fluency in their target languages. If he speaks English very well, then the option of becoming a language partner wouldn't be good.
If you really want to talk with him again in person, asking the former flatmate of his to set up a date and place for you to meet him might be a good idea.
After twists ans turns, if you end up getting married with him sometime in the future, invite me to your wedding reception.
>>638 we have to have something stronger than just having a date set-up. If there was any attraction, he would have called me. In my friend's leaving do, I found him wanting to talk to me, quietly in a corner. That is why I thought of contacting him again somehow. The best that can happen is a heartbreak in this kind of set-up. I cannot ever imagine a marriage happening. The probability would be lower than an meteor killing one of this thread users. Then again, one cannot stop imagining what could have happened. >>639 You wouldnt excpect someone to run around like that AND hit the perfect note every time, seriously.
This election outcome is a signal fire of the Liberal Democratic Party Administration revival. Although the Liberal Democratic Party raises a consumption tax as political power. The Liberal-Democratic Party seemed to be excellent after all in the campaign strategy. The Liberal Democratic Party overcame the Upper House election in the skillful tactics which also involved in mass media.
The game of Spain and the Netherlands was a wonderful game. The contents were wonderful even though mark were 1 to 0. It was the game which cannot look aside temporarily also, either. The same comment was written the other day, and this game was also wonderful even though mark did not just enter. Since it was early morning broadcast, I have been careless all day long today. I should go to the festival at night. It is a festival of Ikutama Shrine today. I live in Osaka.
The Your Party, the most anti-bureaucrats group, gained momentum in the election. But I doubt their capability... They are not experts, but only SPEAKERS. We all depend on the bureaucratic system actually.
Sakura Yokomine was the results of the 10th place. She was very good fight. The young men of the golf community are doing their best. I will also do my best.
Probably, Liberal Democratic Party Tanigaki had confidence. From now on, he will speak like crazy. The Democratic Party Administration is facing a crisis. The patience of Prime Minister KAN is spectacular. I want without resigning immediately like Mr. Hosokawa, even if blamed.

>>659 The latest approval rate went down from over 60 percent to 36 percent, and it's just within a month! That means Kan administration is a lame duck. I doubt he can decide on how to construct a new base in Okinawa at the end of August as he promised.
>>661 You mean to say hung parliament is problematic? As for me, it's a good thing, you know, because the way DPJ was in the past 10 months was horrible. They didn't try to hear what others said, and I should call it despotic. People judged that's not acceptable. That's why they lost the election.
>>662 It's definitely a problem. Since the coalition government does not have two-thirds of seats in the Lower House, they can not use the supermajority to override the Upper House decision.
What we will see is the Diet incapable of making any decision. I am not saying that the DP's governance in the past 10 months was good. It was actually clumsy. But the divided chamber will also harmful. The situation is basically a dead-end. The opposition parties will ask for calling early election, but the DP has no reason to follow. In that sense, it's just the same as the end of the previous term of the Lower House.
>>663 Don't you worry. Decent bills will be passed. There's a big difference between DPJ and LDP. DPJ was bad after they won the previous election, and all they did was do anything that's against LDP, no matter what. But LDP is mature, you know, they say they will debate and check, but not oppose for the purpose of opposition.
The Liberal Democratic Party makes the present condition of present miserable Japan. All Japan is defeated by the politics which the Liberal Democratic Party decomposed. Slowness of the Democratic Party is unavoidable. The complete defeat of an election also has a place depended on operation of the public opinion by mass media. That incompetent announcer has reported half in fun has a cause.
>>664 Mr. Nishikido had appeared in the program of IITOMO yesterday.He was a good person. He was teased by the senior's Mr.Nakai and his person's merit was felt reverse.
>>671 why surprising ? There is no political party good for others. In Social Democratic Party and Komei Party, the conception is the junior high school student levels. Poetic justice level ! The Democratic Party is only given the bad impression by mass media.
A terrible quantity of rain fell today. Although there was no flood under a floor in my area, probably some people suited flood damage. Is the person in the Kyushu region safe?Seemingly, remarkable damage has come out in the report of television.
I'm just posting here because I keep forgetting to put 'sage' back in my posts. So I'm 'sage'ing it here rather than post something stupid elsewhere. You may now return to your regularly scheduled chat content.
There are many places which are encountering flood damage after all. It is said that the torrential rain has fallen in various places. It was broadcasting in the program of television.
Seemingly, the damage in Gifu Prefecture will be severe. The damage of a flood is severe because of local severe rain. We cannot be inattentive still more.
The situation which a money order breaks the level of 87 yen temporarily has arisen. On the financial side, it is quite a cautionary zone. Since we go to travel abroad easily as an English thread, it is glad news,isn't it ?
I prefer JK to nurse..It's weird when I was young, I thought I wanted to sleep with older ladies including ladies with costume.but, I wanna eat teenagers now.
Is kamenashi freak here still alive? She must have some opinion about akanishi's secession.
Days ago, I read an article in which takizawa was said to criticize akanishi for his selfish behavor and say akanishi deserved dismissal. The article also said johnny K proteced akanishi. It was out of expectation that one of jonnys' member expressed his own opinion which is against Johnny k's will and it was a mystery why Johnny supported akanish so much, akanishi who is not so popular and whose commercial value is low.
According to the Japanese sub, one of the girls say there are 300 Johnny's fangirls in Finland. 300 is quite small. I don't believe Johnny's will ever try to do business in Finland and 300 in each country of Europe doesn't make any difference. 300 in sweden, 300 in France, etc.. The agency will be in red if they forcifully open an agency there. They don't have a proper market in Europe.
I am here, reading the Jin news. I am shocked and annoyed. Whoever made that decision should be fired.
Johnny or Mary Kitagawa: Hear this. This is BAD decision making.
If they let Jin be, without dismissal, then we could have accepted a 5 member KT-TUN.
The hope of Jin returning would have been a good feeling to keep alive.
But that hope is gone, YOU put intemse pressure on the other members to continue. And fans feel this pressure, Jin's absenece and this sour situation gives a very bad feeling.
Johnny's executives: You must understand how fans value bonds. you have dismisssed Jin and broke this bond. You are dispicable.
It is so against the KAT-TUN comradeship. These kids grew up together into a group, now you are telling them to move on without a member. But fans cannot move on without Jin! It destroys peoples's faith in the bond of friendship, even if it was a worn out and mostly pretended one.
Humans value bonds and friendship, so you should have made your business model around that fact.
I'm sure Katun memebers are not on good terms with each other in their private lives. They are forced together just for the purpose of business. Akanishi has been selfish all along, but the other members was patient because of business. Now the damage inflicted between their relation is severe. You will never see them together. And I'm sure Akanishi will fail in America.
The other Jonney's boys will learn a lesson from Akanishi's example. Don't bother to have interest in America. They don't have market there as in Europe. Johnny's is popular in Asia. They should consider going around Asia.
Arashi, although I accept their success, have never appealed to me.
They never have this warmth that Kat-tun had. I cannot see any visible talent, expect MatsuJun , who must be the most talented of all current Johhny's.
Only Kamenashi will survive after kat-tun is disbanded. It seems, though, that they publicly say they won't be dasbanded for now.
Akanishi's blond fetish went too far. He couldn't restrain himself from living in America. I wouldn't be surprised if he would get married to a hot American blong girl with huge tits.
I don't think Akanishi will regularly appear in American TV shows. And he won't show himself in Japanese TV. He will be forgotten both in Japan and America sooner or later. Guess there are fangirls Akanishi has in America because they watch Japanese TV shows uploaded on Youtube, but new vids will not be uploaded since he doesn't base his activities in Japan. In other words, he can't feed their curiosity and interest any more.
>>729 Kamenashi would survive even if there was a nuclear war, I m sure. he is amazingly stubborn.
I don't think Akanishi's problem is with girls, it is almost certain that he could not forsee where his career was leading. He could not handle the extreme pressure at all. I think he is the one most truthful to himself. I respect him for his independence. He is a truly free person. The rest are full of pretense, esp. Kame, who buries his sorrow very deep inside.
Akanishi should know better to think carefully about the other members. He doesn't know fangirls are fickle and get bored easily, some of the American fangirls seem happy, but I'm sure they are far from loyal. The day will come when he think of returning to Japan, and just then he'll notice there's nowhere he can go back. He betrayed the Johnny's agency and every Japanese fangirl. The best he can do is suck up to American girls.
>>732 I look at a nother angle. I think Johnny's should have stuck with their talent no matter what happened.
Johnny's betrayed Akanishi. There were inner conflicts, jealousy and politics. I think it has nothing to do with Kame.
I think Jin, together with Toma, is the second biggest loss in Johnny's. At least Toma is now an actor in Japan and working hard.
If they hadn't put so much pressure on these kids, Akanishi would have stayed. Break The rEcords was too much pressure on the lads. What happens if you drive a machine beyond its limit? Kat-tun is now like a car with only one headlight. Making Kame brighter will only wear him out.
Do you think Kamenashi had conflict with Akanishi? Because of the two, Kat-tun was faced with disbandment and Akanishi flied off the handle so he decided to go to America?
no I think the pace of work, competition and mistreatment by others was too much for Jin. It is true something is wrong between the two but they were handling it in an adult sort of way.
Kat-un were expected to perform like a rugby team. Jin is more artistic and delicate. He loathed the situation he was in. Jin felt claustrophobic in that high pressure setting. He loathed other members because he felt hurt. If they recruited me as their manager, I would have kept the band i ntact. Despite the loathing.
>>715 When did Tegomass go to Finland? That didn't make news either in Finland nor Japan. I guess they weren't welcome there, that's why. Johnny's should have learned it was tough to be successful in Europe.
>>734 As far as I know, Johnny's didn't dismiss Akanishi. They only say Akanishi won't be back in Kat-tun. So he's not a freelancer. Without Johnny's help, Akanishi can't perform in America.
American fangirls, both whites and blacks on TV are all ugly and nerdy, who Akanishi didn't want to have relationship with in real-life.
Akanishi who would be less attractive in America won't have good relationship with white girls he admires. Only roppongi whores , losers from america, dare to.
I remember a korean guy who repetedly boast korean popularity among white girls. He would make fun of Akanishi's decision and I feel ashamed of akanishi, ugly guy who don't know his ability.
It is assumed that Akanishi fails in the United States to be remarkably. What is important is how to work after he comes back to Japan. He is likely to take an active part enough by himself in Japan.
>>745 As a non-Japanese, I totally challenge your view. Internet is a medium that will completely transform ideas, identity and inclinations.
One person who has never heard or never understand a foreign product, will be using it religiously next.
It has everything to do with EXPOSURE.
How you expose people and how frequently, would change the time taken for that product to become a household item.
This will happen sooner and later and the whole world will begin to understand the "Local" information and acquire other nation's lifestyle, tastes, even emotions!
This will happen increasingly and naturally over the internet, and thatis why governments will try to censor it.
The world in two-three years from now will be totally different in terms of attitude. Johnny's will become a music trend at HMV in england where I will be able to buy Kamenashi's solo CDs.
>>750 As far as England is concerned, I'm quite sure that's never gonna happen.
France, however, maybe has a certain number of people with interest in Japanese pop cultures, such as manga, anime, and J pop. That's why they hold Japan Expo every year. If Johnny's members are welcome, I believe it's in France, though the fact remains there's only a slim chance that'll happen.
If any European agency or coordinator had thought they could sell as many as 10,000 tickets to hold a Jonny's concert, they would've done that already. Arashi has gone to Taiwan, Korea, Shanghai and Thai, and their tickets were sold out and more than 10,000 people were accomodated in each place. Considering these facts, it's safe to assume that Johnny's is not popular enough to go to Europe. 300 enthusiastic fans are not enough to do business in Europe.
>>762 Oh, come on, wake up please. Have you ever heard of the fact that Akanishi held a concert in America? About 300,000,000 people live there, including millions of Asians. Do you know exactly how many girls went to the live? It's only about 2,000. Most of them are Asian girls. If you are doubtful, go check on Youtube please.
It'd be safe to say my deduction is almost perfect - give or take 50 fans. The number of the European fangirls of Johnny's should be far smaller than that of America since there are fewer Asian girls living there. As I said, it's not enough to cover the cost. I have never heard that more than 10,000 copies of their CDs sold there. Why do you think that's a fixed idea? It's the fact.
You think its only Asians who like Japanese music? It may be the case in that part of the world but not here!
Even in this small town I live I meet so many anime, drama, Jpop fans it is unbelievable. I can easily find you over 500 fans in a wink!
You can imagine how many would be in London, Birmingham, Edinburgh and the rest of the UK. You have no idea what young people eat, drink, watch and follow! So stop making up numbers.
So you have to be Asian to listen to Japanese music? How could someone be so narrow minded?
>I am talking about fans+potential fans. I hate to say this, but you don't seem able to show solid data. Sure, it'd be fun to talk about the possibility, but the reality is always harsh.
If Johnny's had many fangirls out there in any European country, they would've been invited to perform live there by some European coordinator. As for An Cafe, a German coordinator noticed the band had many fans in Europe, got in contact with them and invited them to hold concerts there. Why did no agency try to contact Johnny's? That's obvious. They aren't so popular in Europe.
What do you think about violent and sexual scenes from cartoons in Japan?
In my opinion, comic books and computer games made in Japan should be restricted. Characters in Manga or Games are treated in a dehumanizing way! It would encourage abuseful behavior.
Cartoons should be clean. It is a basic philosophy.
>you have to be Asian to listen to Japanese music? No, I don't think so. You took me completely wrong. I just mentioned the fact of all the girls who visited the Akanishi concert they were mostly Asian girls, and millions of Asians living in America. Why can't I mention the truth? Why does that make me narrow-minded?
>>769 It might be a good idea for European fangirls to get together and ask a showbiz agency with enough power to invite Johnny's to perform live in Europe, if there are so many fans!
Here's a good example. There's a Japanese pop Idol group named W-inds, and their CDs were sold well in Taiwan and I believe Taiwanese girls sent messages to invite the group to visit Taiwan. And their wish was answered. Do you think there are enthusiastic Johnny's fans like that in Europe? No, I don't think so..
>>787 It's "quote-and-quote" gesture, which literary means that the speaker is quoting something. The gesture is used for explicitly showing that she/he is referring the word's in its general usage, and may not agree with the definition or connotation.
Hm, I cannot explain it well in English. Its equivalant in Japanese is いわゆる. Emma uses the gesture for a word "woman" and the meaning is 「いわゆる大人の女性」
A japanese fan said on TV " I don't believe in yonha's death. I believe he will come back. I couldn't live unless I don't think so" another fan said "meet you in heaven". These shows what real love is.
I don't understand why somne white girls are attracted to japanese male celebrities. In essential korean and japanese have the same feature and koreans are more musculine. Loving both is understandable at least. But loving the either of both, Japanese is not understandable. Love celebs as such too. http://star.hallyu.jp/img8/ryu-20080508-2.jpg
Change the topics to more world-wide one. Is it true that in the states, food fither Kobayashi is more popular than Ichiro?
Kobayashi's next move is a thing to see. He has not worked in Japan for a long time because of the contract problem with a Japanese TV station. Now he cuts tie with the american associaiton. Will he come back to Japan? I want to see a fight with giant shirota and other food fighters again.
I think koabayashi's redebut in japan would have the power to retract a retirement of Ginat shirota and other great fighters. Who is the real champ? There was a suspicion that Kobayashi escaped to the U.S because he was defeated land-slide by his rival shirota for two consecutive fights.
If the Kame girl really is successful in collecting more than 10,000 signatures, I have to admit that's awsome, whether or not Johnny's is interested in going somewhere in Europe. I guess it will be France if Johnny visits a European country. Next year in Japan Expo? Anyway, 10,000 out of the whole Europe may not be so appealing to Johnny's agency, but they would agree to go to Japan Expo, since Morning Musume went there this year.
Yankies fans and Red sox fans have conflict with each other even though they both love baseball. So Kame fans and Arashi fans also must have something to argue with each other.
>>821 These are not mutually exclusive. You could be a fan of both Kame and Arashi. This is not the case for baseball fans. Being a Red Sox fan implies hatred toward Yankees.
There is only one Kame girl here, that is me. Someone in the thread is also writing subtle but confusing replies, kind of imitating me. There are other JE fans who drop by.
International "Jin come back petition" has reached 980 in just a day and a half. Most KAT-TUN fans are still not aware of what's happening.
Kame-girl has important things to deal with this week.
American fangirls of Akanishi's would be against the petition. He's now very active in America because he made the decision. If he's forcifully brought back to Kat-tun activities, he can't go to America often. That'd not be acceptable to American fangirls. And Akanishi himself wouldn't want to be back.
I thought the petition would be more like "Kat-tun in Europe" petition. That'd be fruitful.
Hey guys, posting from a mcdonalds right now. I almost feel like a real American while eating these morbidly fat burgers brimming with grease and diesel for your diseased heart.
What is your most favorite hamburger chain in your country? Personally, I'm interested in Burger King.
But here in Japan, only people living around Tokyo can use Burger King casually.
Other people living in other area such as like me cannot eat Burger King unless going to some US military base when they open their base to Japanese civilian once at a year.
It is one of the places good for killing time. However, it is a problem that it is also a place with the sufficient convenience also for a senseless human being. In McDonald's which I know, weak junior and senior high school students play a game, and are occupying the seat for a long time. Therefore, the store manager seems to be troubled by them.
How about TACO BELL? It's not hamburger shop but I often hear their good reputation.
I think maybe they had already retreated from Japan aside from US military base. I really want to know their reputation in USA. Does TACO BELL catch on as well as other hamburger shops?
One more thing related to fast food that I am interested in is Pizza.
American living in Japan quite often says that Pizza sold in Japan is weird and terrible. Every time I heard their complaint, they said Pizza in USA is more simple and delicious. I am a Japanese who live in Japan, so I don't know what kind of Pizza they choose as thier favorite.
It would be grateful if you would give me some examples of Pizza shop or chain they think really good.
>>853 Lucy...(;´Д`) Lucy resented the aggressive salesman trying to make her sign the contract.
I went there 5 years ago and thought this shop was very good. I'm afraid I don't know the two burgers. I probably forget, but they looks very delicious.
After 20days since Japan lost the game. He had a confidence with PK. Just before Kicking the ball, he found that he failed. He couldnot think anything. i made a mistake. i talked with my wife. i could not see the scene. but now i can see it because i have to. i must remember the scene. i want to kick again in next world cup.
Japan is a tremendous aging country. I can't find what to do. The expense for welfare is getting more by 1 trillion each year. Who will relieve this evil situation?
>>865 There are three solutions. 1. Excecute elder people, because of a felony charge of getting older. 2. Import young, productive people from foreign countries 3. Let elder people work and make money
Tear buildings and change Japan like Edo era.And let's cultivate soil with your family. Many farms can make us healthy and happy.People won't need to suicide himself anymore.
>>868 I am not obsessed with Jin, I feel sorry for him and also Kame, who has to work harder to cover for his absence. Whatever way you look at it, KAT-TUN without Jin is not possible. I wish they would disband completely. Kame should retire and pursue his boutique dreams and marriage. KAT-TUN should not exist anymore.
Ken Watanabe is advancing English by studying the individual counseling. Since he is an entertainer, he has money a lot. English progress requires money after all.
It is said that heatstroke is prevalent. I will take care. I am always walking around with the canteen. Canned juice cost can be saved. Since gargling is possible also when some are eaten, it is good also for a tooth.
>脱退の理由については「強いて言えば方向性の違いでしょうか。 >決してメンバーが嫌いだからとか、人間関係のねじれとかではないのでご安心を(笑)みんな好きですよ」 Akanishi says about why he left Kat-tun, quart, " If I have to say, it's probably difference of our preferences. It's not like I don't like the other members nor do I have a bad relationship with them. So please don't worry.lol I like them all."
Hm, your effort seems to have gone up in the smoke. That can't be helped. He's resolved to be successful in America. All that he's interested in is American blond girls.
Heat and sunlight make me imagine the death of people. you can easily burned and dehydrated outdoors.
A good numer of Japanese joggers would love to run in noon, exposed to hign heat and sunlight. They are not doing the right thing for their health. I don't know about the situation in America. But I think on TV I regulary see american joggers running in the sun.
Maybe They loves the adverse refreshment like beer and shower. It's like abstinence from somoking and smoking again.
Hazama kanpei, famous jog enthusiast comedian came down with a cancer and came back from cancer. He believes jogging make him fit, young and happy. I suspect his illness had something to do with his jogging habit. He loved overwork in the sun and still?
>>896 how can you prove their IQ is low, isit becaus ethese boys did not make it to Todai? They were memorizing complex dance moves and songs instead of formulae. Human intelligence applied to the show business. If they were so dubm, they wouldn't have survived so far. They are focused and bright boys. You are simply jealous.
It was the heat which burns. I felt dizzy. It was the heat to which my body is burned and attached. It was correct that I came out of with the canteen .
There are also many people who have passed away in heatstroke. It is inrush from a rainy season to drastic change intense heat. The news of the accident of heatstroke and water is in use.
What about Akanishi? Did he employed a private tutor teaching him English? Or did he just taught himself? I guess his American blond girlfriend taught him English. That's why he made rapid progress.
>>898 If you knew tahara toshihiko, kondo masahiko, kita koji and so on and so on, you would understand what I mean. You janiwotas don't know even about johnny's itself. They are the lowest level of eastern europe gymnasts whose life are not balanced and who know allmost nothing except their work.
Their dancing skill, acting skill, any skills are all halfway unlike comanechi. Comanechi led a adolescence full of mental hurting but her skill changed history of sports which a bunch of johnny's men can't achieve. Genius may often lack commonsense and be alone. Johnny's are only lacking commonsense. In modern times, we have the affluence to enjoy and laugh at Queer and fool takahara toshihiko. But world full of toshihiko tahara would lead Japan into mess. New japanese can't read kanji, can't calculate four arithmetic operations and always laugh like the addicted to stimultants.
Johnny is a worldwide brand name that can carry otherJapanese brands,
through fans, they can reach the international consumer markets.
Why are you so fixed in your views, Comanechi was in the 70s, this is year 2010, the world has different priorities, interests, women are more involved in the definition of everything including succsess.
Success isn't only showing rubber-band flexibility like a gymnast, or ten twists in midair by a n ice-skater, or smashing an opponent in a wrestling match anymore.
Success isn't how fast you drive, how much you know, how clever you are anymore.
Success is about moving the hearts of people and earning their money, or becoming an ambassador for other brands to make money.
You refuse to accept the fact that these boys are doing pioneering work. They are advertising Japanese sexiness in the first place! That can't be bad.
Instead of being proud ofthem getting through to a glovbal audience you are bickering about them!
About KAT-TUN without Akanishi seceded. According to the news about that, a problem of KAT-TUN's A was solved by covering with Kamenashi's KA. But, I wonder if leader's name of KAT-TUN isn't Kamenashi but Kimura or Kume, what would the problem be!?
I think international Kame girls must feel thwarted to know that Akanishi quit Kat-tun with resolution. He prefered to go to America. He must have felt irritated to know some people tenatiously continued "Akanishi should go back to Kat-tun" campain. Those people seem to him like obstacle because they are trying to be in the way of him going to America, where blond girls are waiting for his arrival.
Love is [ sharing bodies with each other ]. I like young men's bodies very much. I sometimes share our bodies in shinjuku 2-chome. I like slim guys. What about you?
I've watched District 9 yesterday. What I half-expected was some boring lecture about racism and apartheid. What I got was an action-packed, really funny film that was the best sci-fi movie I've seen in the last 5 years at least. And that South African accent made it even better.
>>944 Back in my late teenage years, I found a Japanese penfriend who also wasn't very good with English - and my Japanese was (and still is) terrible. Although it was embarrassing at first, it became quite fun, and really helped us learn. Don't worry about being embarrassed and just go for it!
I saw Nick Griffin, leader of BNP for the first time on TV at home. NHK broadcasts BBC NEWS. Since I watched the news on its way, I don't know exactly what happened. Mr.Griffin seemed to be invited or volunteered to go to Buckingham Palace. He was denied to come in. I saw a scene of a fanatic communist or jew, (maybe both) cursing at Mr.Griffin on the stairs. Mr.Griffin was talking back to the man.
In my opinion Mr.Griffin resembles both incumbent Prime Miniser and leader of LDP of U.K. He must have the looks of aristcrat lineage, Oxford face.
It's strange that a man of unity, anti-nationalism is called racist. There was a guy who called himself スコットランド人 here who hated English and proposed secession from England. Nick Griffin is quite opposed to スコットランド人. Mr.Griffin is the man who can set aside small differences and forgive the pasts of each other and call for the unity of people.
Actor Ken Ogata died because of cancer his son Naoto Ogata went to Ogata Town of Oita Pref to find out what his father felt Ken was very glad to see the fall. and he went to a small shrine he climbed up the stairs and he prayed he said this is the place. and this is my root

There is an all star game of professional baseball today. The starter of Pacific League seems to be Darv?sh. Probably, the batter of the Central League has the regret at that time, etc., since They were pitched against each other by the interleague game. A sports program is pleasure this evening also.
Just a reminder to create 'Chat in English (英語で雑談) Part 143' soon... it's been too soon since I last created a thread, so can't do it myself.
>>949 The garden party's a mixture of politicians, charity workers, and maybe people from television - though Griffin was given an invitation, it is said he was going to use the garden party for political purposes and that is why he was banned. Apparently people are supposed to just relax and talk to each other about mundane things, such as tea, the Queen, embroidery and the weather.
>>952 2010 was supposed to have been the year when Scotland was given a referendum for independence from Britain, but we haven't heard anything about that recently. Perhaps it was scrapped when the Scottish people voted out their old government.

Even if in a house today, don't those who develop heatstroke occur one after another? The number of times of mobilization of the ambulance of every place is likely to increase. Please take care.
Dont go out at noon, drink water with salt and sugar in it, Eat lightly, keep yourself cool, if possible, go to the mountain tops for cooler, drier air. You have mountains in Japan , haven't you?
>>971 I heard that royal family was afraid of a turmoil which was likely to happen for his visit. I don't know royal family made up stories like Nick's hidden purpose and threat of aftermath to prevent him from entering the palace. But in the first place royal family invieted him... Stories are complicated. As for scots, they are ballless chicken who say things which they know won't be achievable and which they are not willing to do in real life.
>>974-975 Are you another British? Or an european foreigner in Britain who loves kamenashi?
I see. He is not a jew but possibly communist. White nationalists call gay people communist because of their sexuality only. And his backgrond is sufficient to be called communist. He might be called leftist or socialist in academic term, isn't he?
I think that Arashi is doing its best very well. Each character is also taken out clearly. Is KAT-TUN already useless, though regrettable? The face of Kamenashi has also man-in-the-street-ized . Other members aren't known.Taguchi is not wonderful,
I am scared of Arashi members. They look distant and evil. With the exception of MatsuJun, there is nothing significant about Arashi. News are a bunch of clueless boys lead by a depressed Yamapi. I am not a fan of him at all. I like Kame's man on the street looks, so what?
The temperature is rising because of abnormal weather. No, it may not be abnormal weather any longer. Such intense heat may become common every year in the summer of future.
I will go to the building ,which air conditioner is effective, for window shopping.
Three years have passed since zero unit cost of translation was firmly established worldwide. Meanwhile, fraud cases have been exposed, one after another, to the public eye, where profit-seeking English conversation schools apparently conducted predatory business practices. Now, learning of foreign languages, including English, for free is a world norm.
All foreign language translation schools are in serious financial trouble. Since wet-behind-the-ears translators who just graduated from such translation schools via insubstantial correspondence courses are not expert in subjects of translation jobs, their translations are frequently erroneous, or flatly wrong, as a matter of fact. They are typically poor second-class citizens among the digital divide. Accordingly, the internationally accepted standard for translation fee has been established at nil, or zero yen, per character, per word, or whatsoever. It's a safe bet that a sea change will unlikely occur in the translation business.
Moreover, since the person of foreign citizenship other than Japanese, such as Chinese people, understands neither the custom of Japan nor the Japanese semantic content, the unit price of 0 yen serves as a market price. In addition, the company where the passing word only in the company is English in recent Japanese firm plans to do the management failure sooner or later and to go bankrupt. Anyway, if a large amount of non-regular employers of a present Japanese nationality are not employed, economic development in a Japanese country like the bubble economy era and the high economic growth period, etc. cannot be done.
>>988 Those who think Kame is hot are named Kame girls, and one of such girls is here actually. She often compares Kame with Akanishi by saying which one is hotter.
>>989 I don't compare Kame with Akanishi! They are two different planets.
I was in London today, I am glad to be back. It was noisy, filthy, and the tube was unbearably hot. No concept air conditioning, we are still living the Victorian age here.
Too many people with a lot of money and no sense of anything, so many retards everywhere. Why do they live there, I am clueless. They must be crazy.
>>995 meeting a person so unreachable so much is not a good idea. it is like unrequited love. Your target would not have the inclination, interest or time to befriend you. two different worlds. There is no overlap and so you would be devastated. rather than inflict pain on yourself, you should avoid meeting the person. I had a college mate who told me about how she worked in the broadcasting business and met her idol one day. I think they had a relationship which ended in disaster. It took her years to recover.
Arashi's fangirls try to see them in person; even a glimpse of Arashi makes girls crazy. You don't think you will scream when you see Kamenashi, do you?
