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, cunning
linguists and stupid fan girls of Johnny's Boys.
And let's hope the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!

This is the place to have a ball!!!!!

This is a japan.
This is a pen.
I am a tom.

I wish i have a メイド outfit for mt official 20th birth day present ><

shit skin beasts, swinging from the rope!

Does "get in on" in a T-REX song insinuate "have sex"?
Would most native speakers associate lyrics "get in on" with sex?

I got a >>11's question from "Nice seeing all you freaks and creeps getting it on with each other in here, finally"
in the previous thread.

nanashi's computer

CPU : Intel Core-i5 430M
GPU : GeForce GT 230M 1GB and Intel HD graphics
Memory : 4GB

Blu-Ray drive
18.5 inch monitor (1920x1080p)

5 facts about Sparky :

Sparky is
1) a Panamanian American
2) uses dear old shitty windows ME
3) lives in a state called Louisiana
4) has a big dark secret
5) and it's that he's a gay

715 ：名無しさん＠英語勉強中：2011/03/05(土) 21:30:26.61
When were you aware you were a gay, Sparky?
Since when did you start wearing skirts?

You seem to be angry and hostile all the time nowadays.
What happened?
Smearing kame and inquiry about your background
made you mad?

Can you understand German?
I don't understand at all what they are singing about.

>>17 No.

>>18 No.

Sparky, please do not do this again. This is a thread to chat in english, it is not a blog of yours.
Your links to pointless things are useless. Please behave on topic and do not make the thread off
topic as you did the last one.

Thank you for appreciating my concern.

What type of boys do you like, Sparky?
How about Ricky Martin?

I don't think Sparky likes a hot and sexy kind of males. I believe he prefers cute and feminine ones.

Our quake-resistant houses are not likely to break down by merely a 7.2-magunitude earthquake.
As we have no reports of death, injuries, and damages, I wonder why USA Today has reported it worldwide.
They should report Sparky's sexual preference to the world instead. It's more newsworty.

what's sparky? is it delicious?

I have diarrhea.

y'all don't have anything to talk about except sparky, do you?

I have gonorrhea.

Are you sparky?

>>28
who are you talking to? Me?

>>29
No, I'm talking to him.

Who, me?

>>31
No. He's talking to me.

Yes, I'm taling to him.
I mean I'm not talking to you.
In other words you're talking to me.

>>33
Then who is talking to me?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI1PyHkjjLA

>>34
I'm talking to you. Didn't you know?

>>36
Wait, I'm confused...
I though I was talking to him, but you're saying I'm talking to you.
Which means you're not talking to him and he's talking to you.
Is that right?

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE どーん！！！

stupid thread is stupid

"Stupid thread is stupid" said a stupid.

I am stupid.

You might be stupid but not as gay as to enter a secret homo letter into the mail field. At least, you aren't a stupid foggot.

>>41
No, stupid! I'm the one who is stupid.

>>37
I thought you thought you were talking to me,
and you're saying I'm saying you're talking to me.
Which means you're definitely talking to me, right?

anybody here?

Hello all

Sara Philips looks like gay, gay of her opposite sex.

ラムラナ = best game ever ^^

>>48
In short Sara Philips looks like shemale or drag queen.
Do you understand?
Sara Philips' sex is female.

I'm sure Spargay loves Justin Bieber type of guys. That is, cute and pretty boys.
Spargay himself is aiming to becoming a cute boy, or I mean, a girl.

I love reading this chat. I like to keep up to date on what
スパーゲイ's latest adventures are.

He should have his pipe cut off immediately so he can become a girl.

peek-a-boo <(^.^)>

Boys play while adults work.

Spargay dreams of becoming an android girl, right?
I take it android in this context means changing his gender
and undergo plastic surgery. He needs tons of money to achieve that.
Good luck, Spargay.

>>78
I see.
Btw, do you know "Toradora"?
That is my favorite anime. You can watch the full episodes on You Tube.

>>79
I heard of it but never seen it

>>80
Then you must watch it!!!
I'm sure you will be hooked on it. :)

I'm not familiar with moe comics.
For me azumangadaio and keion are in the same category.
Does Sparky like keion too?
What's the difference between them?

>>81
You are absolutely otaku. lol
Are you Japanese?

>>82
Azumangadaio?
I've never heard of it. What the anime is about?

>>84
Watch carefully inside the >>77's link.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQPRJjnNHfE&fmt=18
I'm Japanese but I don't see it amusing...

Hey guys, BOKU ARUBAITOOOOOOOO
Anyways, I'm working part time at this place that's terrible and about to go under
(and even if it doesn't, I need to find a better job anyways)

I've been thinking of getting a teaching job. Even part time, since that'd still pay
better than my current job. What do you guys think?

Sparky's interests in moe animes clearly shows he is not gay.
I'm serious.
where can I find a gay who wants to see school girls' underwear
and erect his penis?

>>87
Teach English.
Your English is like native speaker's one as long as I feel
in this thread.

>>87
I'm working part time at this place
What does "this" refer to?

>>89
Are you serious?

>>90
I'm 89. I said >>87 worte good English.
However as you mentioned, "this" seemed strange to me.
At first I thought he was writging stuff here to be paid.

>>89
That's what I was thinking. I'm actually more of a native than Japanese
but it's a long story.

>>90
I used "this place" kind of like "this one place" to refer to the place I work at.
It's a pretty colloquial usage and probably not "proper" English.

>>91
Serious.
I'm Japanese. Even Japanese like me can somewhat tell
who is native speaker and not here.
For example, kazutaka's English is quite Japanese to me. lol
He is also English teacher. Your English is more natural.

I was going to take you for a netive speaker except for "this place"

How do real native speakers feel?

>>93
You learned English without studying its structures?

I'm not sure of my feelings. I could be the one who took
things wrong way.

>>95
I grew up outside of Japan and learned English at a normal school for
English-speaking kids. I've never attended school in Japan...

>>94
You must be kidding!!!
Kazukata is a teacher!?
what the...I'm lost for words.

>>97
You are equal to native speakers.

Can you speak Japanese? 日本語話せるか？
リア充ですか？
Where do you live now? Japan?
Your English skill won't work overseas as good as in Japan.
cos everyone speaks English...

>>97
How much can you speak Japanese?

日本語は話せる。漢字の書きが小学生レベルだけど…そしてリア充じゃない…

I failed at getting work overseas so I came to Japan, since I prefer living in
Japan anyways.

There are a lot of issues with Japanese people and the culture, but in the end
I'm happy with being here.

>>98
He is or was a public teacher. His wage was way higher more than you.
And handsome pension is guaranteed untill his death.
He is a self-proclaimed master of English who invented
ten theories in English.
Even queer gay and unproficient teachers like him are left free in state-run schools.

>>101
Did you speak Japanese in your home with your family?

God Oshio Manabu often bragged that he spoke with her
daugher only in English. He has never been able to show his English fluency
in public though.

>>103
Yeah, my whole family is Japanese. I also had to go to a secondary school
(Japanese school) a few days a week until chu3. I wish I'd studied harder there,
because now I don't know anything about proper Japanese grammar or history.

I think I'll go with the teacher idea because I like jk.

>>102
＞＞His wage was way higher more than you.
I'm still 15. lol
OK, now I have a question
Why does he stick with 2ch like a NEET?
What happened to him?

>>101
Your usaged of anyway and "go under" sounded very native-speaker-like.

I guess Japanese would prefer using usage like "going bankrupt"
instead of "go under".

>>104
After all, you're a pervert, too like most 2ch user are. lol

>>105
I don't know. He may want to have a place to show his
God English ability and circulate his God teaching methods.
He may also want to flaunt his gay life too.
He has his own web site too.
He is pretty narcissistic a man.

>>104
Do you have brother or sister?
You spoke in Japanese even with your brother or sister?

I can see you sometimes speak in English for a change, don't you?

>>108
I'm sorry for him...I don't know why. :(

I have one sister, and I speak to her in Japanese. She attended university
in Japan.

I spend most of my free time on the internet, hanging out in English speaking
chatrooms and browsing 2ch or other Japanese sites.

Around this time of last year I was applying to jobs as 新卒... What a terrible
memory. I want to cry when I think of all the entry sheets I'll have to write again
and all the interviews I'll have to take.

You guys are "proper" Japanese and have English skills... Don't become like me!

I know everybody here is getting fucking sleepy now. lol

>>111
I don't understand.
Didn't you have a will to go to highschool?
Are you going to be a student in April?

I guess your English gives you an edge and you can easily pass Japanese
university examination. Many universities has unique admission system
for returnees too.
Why are you so hurry for the job?

Oh, I didn't make that clear did I.
I graduated a US college in 2009, came to Japan, applied to a bunch of jobs
unsuccessfully, and then began my current job (part time, but 40+h/wk) last
summer.

I'm 23 now, turning 24. orz
Can I attend Japanese college for free please?

>>114
Sorry, I mistook for >>105.
>>105 seems also foreigner to me.

Am I only the genuine Japanese here now? lol

It would be worth doing orz to some colleges.

>>114
Do you sometimes have problem(communication and manner)
with your collegues and boss because of your cultural diffrence?

I guess less qualified people teach English everywhere.
Why can't you teach?

Lol What

don't know.
I wanted to express
生粋の日本人は俺だけか？ｗ

That's because he can't write and read Japanese enough.

My reading and speaking level is at the average high school level, I guess.
多分。そうだと信じたいです…

I haven't really had communication issues, but I have learned a lot in the past
half year. I need to dust off my DS and 漢検 so I can be less shameful.

>>121
I have heard that to foreigners Kanji looks like a picture
and it's really hard to write properly.
Anyway, もう寝ます。

>>121
Do strangers like me notice you are from abroads for the first meeting?

I guess I would think Yu Hayami was Japanese, thinking Kane Kosugi
was not genuine Japanese. Yu Hayami spoke Japanese with some family member
in Hawaii while Kosugi didn't know Japanese at all.
You are in the category of Yu Hayami.

Writing kanji is also bothersome task for Japanese.
Written letters by me looks like worm.

Don't bring up subjects that are unfamiliar to Sparky.
He's lovely and cute, plus he's a gay now, planning to become a girl asap.
Support Sparky.

>>88 proved Sparky is not gay.

He's a gay. No doubt. Since 1997.
His gayness is 14 years old.

>>82

サタアンダギ
wwww

lost thing bag I don't understand.

I hate weeaboos

That explains a lot, Spargay, about why you like cute boys so much.

I don't think Sparky is a gay. His sexual orientation is more complicated than that. As we have been debating, Sparky looks like a boy outside, but in reality he's a girl inside.
So he likes crossdressing. He thinks himself as a girl. So we should use "her" when we call Sparky.

At the same time, though, she likes girls as well as boys. This makes things quite complicated. Bisexual Crossdresser would be a correct word to describe her.

I base this on one of her past posts. Reading it would convince you.
She has a lot of problems to solve.

Sparky is a gay.

You people are ruining what little good this thread served with this gay shit.
Grow the hell up.

>>1141

AGREES 100%

>>128
Don't you Sparky know けいおんk-on？

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0DA7AYtlf4
this one is funny

Wow this thread grew a lot since I was last here (yesterday).
>>121san, so you are a native English speaker then? It certainly
looks to me to be the case.

Azumanga Daioh and K-ON are both somewhat similar moe-themed
high school girl-centred anime, similar to other anime such as Lucky
Star. I've seen them all, none of them are by any means bad but you
must be able to enjoy the moe genre.

>>79san, Toradora is an absolutely amazing anime in my opinion.
However, it is not moe, it is a romance/drama, but it is indeed the
best one I have seen so far.

>>145
What do you mean by moe-themed and moe for that matter?
What's moe? Is it a feeling you sense when you see something attractive to you?
Or other meanings?

>>146
Do not think, feel and you'll be Moe.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIQjrMHTv4 Sputnik .... USSR ..... sparked .... life ....................................... in me .....................................

What little gayness in Sparky will spark here.

>>143


nani?

Romance is a syntax error in me

>>147
same as being a vipper (i think)

>>147
Hmmmm.... Thanks. I think...

It's almost spring.
Time heals all wounds.

>>152

that is so true

Holy shit

earthquake

Big earthquakes hit Japan. I'm still alive.
My heart still beats. Very scary experience...
Even in Tokyo and Kanagaga it was tranmatic..

Is everyone safe?

An earthquake? When? What cities?

Wow it looks like it was a 7.1. That's as big as the last earthquake!

And there was a 6.8 67km from Tokyo at 15:15.

Days are growing longer and longer these days.
Severe winter is finally gone!
I feel happy only when I take a walk, bathing in th sun.

>>160
Where do you live?
it's unthinkable to feel in that way in such a harsh time..
Do you live in the west area from kansai?
I still feel aftershocks around tokyo and kanagawa/

trembling now again!

Books and dishes are dropping from the shelve and the cupboard
in my house. I can see broken glasses on the floor too.

In tokyo and kanagawa area, biggest seisemic intensity was
lower 5 and upper 5 within the scale of 7.
Seisemic intensity must be 7 in Tohokku(north east area)
and north kanto respectively.

Never felt an quake even a bit where I live but seems like this quake was
a big one. Internet reports more faster than conventional media such as TV
what the quake and second effect are like. Look at the photos above.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TSUNAMI IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>165
Can I find organizded on-line report on the internet?

I've been to costoco in machida.
one elder woman seems to be severe condition there.

Now I'm swimming!!!

The apocalyptic images aired on the NHK of Tsunami swallowing cars and houses
made my balls shudder and contract.

>>167
Not sure.

This guy is live streaming from Odaiba in Tokyo.
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/%E3%83%93%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8D%E3%82%B9%E7%99%BA%E6%83%B3%E6%BA%90-test-live#utm_campaign=twitter.com&utm_source=7428631&utm_medium=social

I've heard big earthquakes hit Japan. Fortunately, I'm OK.
But, I'm concerned about people live around that area...

Is he a student who is aiming to become a TV reporter of anchorman?
I'm sure I can't behave like him. I become upset easily.

http://twitpic.com/48e8lb
It could happen even in Tokyo.

Did someone here left a comment or something in >>171's live stream?
He read an English comment followed by "I'm sorry. I don't understand English."

>>175
Sounds like a student or something.
But what's he doing?

>>161
Sorry,sir.
I felt a bit tremor when the quake occured but never wondered why.
Because I was wrapped up composing a English sentence at the time.
I live in Kansai district. I feel for you.

Am the only one who is excited?

>>175
He was planning to live stream with different topic from 8:00pm (3 hours to go) but the earthquake hit
so he started live streaming to report how things like in Tokyo.

>>179
don't have to apologize.

But I don't think the tremor was not as big as you felt.
You won't keep on studying if you were hit by big earthquake
like the latest one.

Are you OK, Japan?

NHK live
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fc2mh3

>>180
You must be living outside the hit area.
Fear remains now and I just wish the earthquake never happened again.
It seems that if we experience emergeny, we can't afford to enjoy
the thrill of emergecy.
It's quite natural thing.

It's getting boring now.

Wow, a city is covered with flood on TV.

>>186
Tidal waves (tsunami) are coming everywhere.
And you will know the real damages of the quakes afterwords.

again trembling again.

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13242977
Tsunami caused by this earthquake. HUGE!

>>186
This video get you excited again, I'm sure.

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13242977
Is Tanoshingo reporting?

One of the earthquakes was a magnitude 8.9. That's huge!
We can all be glad, I think, that it was off the coast and not on the ground.
It looks like the tsunami formed was about 2.8m high.

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13242977
What the hell is this?
Tanoshingo is in the helicopter?

>>189
Wow!!!Looks fun!!!
But if I had been there, I would've drowned for certain!!!

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13242977
Where does tanoshingo get the video from?

I cant watch this footage from terrestial broadcasters in Tokyo.

>>194
The voice sounds a Chu-bou rather than Tanoshingo

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/13242977
Is this the footage from NHK sendai?

Tanoshingo = chobo.
Tanoshingo is between man and woman or betweemn boy and man.
And chubo is on the stairs from boy to man.

While everybody in the eartquake hit regions fears aftershocks, I'll get >>200 with
gorgeous Arzentina tango steps.

again again I'm sick of it!

I know I missed!

ttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12710020

OK, and how many people died in this tsunami and earthquake so far?

>>202
I know aftershocks may not be crucial one in Tokyo.
but every time i feel aftershock, I feel anxious.

cnn
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/11/japan.quake/index.html

fell anxiety was more proper, I guess.

>>201
This is REALLY shocking photos.

>>201
I fucking want to know what happened to them after that!!!

>>206
8 have been confirmed dead, but it is certainly more than that.

What broadcaster reported this footage?

I don't know why conventional media didn't report this yet.

a M8.3 earthquake hitted hokkaido, tokachi coast line but the death tolls are only 2 people.
japan is strong !

Big Quakes scared shit out of cowed and meek Japanese people.

NHK

Yeah Japan will never ever collapse, I swear.

>>216
Well, Japan builds its buildings to be earthquake-resistant. So in that
sense, Japan is strong.

Today, this thread's キーワード describe what I think this thread
is about: [you and talking the to stupid Sparky]

>>215
NHK

>>218
NHK sendai?

I changed channel to NHK.

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fc2mh3

This is live from NHK livestreamed on Ustream by 8th grade kid.(He's not Tanoshingo)

>>222
This is a big quake and there are so many damages and victims
so I think NHK reprots nationwide, not limited to Sendai.

http://livedoor.2.blogimg.jp/hatima/imgs/2/a/2aad4a4b.jpg
fish-like cars . oh..

>>224
Why did Tanoshingo-like keep on shouting "NHK ざまあ (that deserves
NHK?)"? He seems to dislike NHK.
I may be the one. But when it comes to disaster, NHK is the most
reliable source.

Nuclear reactors in Japan are in danger, someone reported.
It seems that they cannot be cooled.

Does anyone here live near Sendai? If so please tell us about how the
city is doing.

It seems that the Tokyo tower got bent near the top.

>>226
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!
I've never seen such a horrible scene.

>>230
You mean this?
http://www.jiji.com/jc/d4?d=d4_topics&p=eqa200-jlp10575297

Supposedly the number of dead has been raised to 19. I wonder
how high it will be.
Also it seems estimates for damages could approach \100,000,000,000.

>>227
I'm not sure but as far as I know,
His Ustream account was stopped temporarily and he thought NHK asked Ustream
to ban his account becasuse of copyright infringement.

But it turned out that that was his misunderstanding. NHK let him keep
livestream on Ustream. I even saw one tweet saying NHK's twitter account linked
his Ustream account so that people who have no aceess TV can watch NHK.
That means NHK support him.

He isn't saying NHK ざまあ anymore, right? I think you heard him saying in
recorded footage not in "live" footage broadcast now on Ustream.

many houses are floating ...
>>233
these pictures make you rethink of the number of dead.

>>235
What a bunch of fool people...

>>223
Did you see the houses streamed away in Tusnami?
People living in the houses are all dead at least. I think at least 500 people
are dead.

http://livedoor.2.blogimg.jp/hatima/imgs/8/4/84cf5405.jpg
I think they had enough time to escape.
I don't know they all eventually escaped though.

Strong earthquake makes people's brain white and some would
never be able to think further.

I'm sure the deaths will be in the hundreds or thousands. But reporting
them takes a long time. I hope it's as few as possible.

What a day...

Tsunami has such a huge power that carry away everything on its way.

No skillful surfers match it.

I feel more composed now but whne I see the mess in the entrance,
I realize again how the quake is strong...

I feel like crying and my legs feel like shaking still.
Even lime me who lives far from the epicenter feel worried so much.

>>243
I mean there is an interval of about two hours between earthquake
and tsunami before tsunami hit sendai.Two hours are enough for
most people to escape.

Guys are you OK in JAPAN?? I am worried for my friends and colleagues
in Tokyo area!!! news pelase!

Sorry one hour...
I guess one or two kilemeter move is possible in an hour.

>>245
Yeah, even if they could escape in time, it must be tough to be in a situation
where they couldn't do anything but seeing their houses were swallowed by Tsunami
and carried away.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%98%AD%E5%92%8C%E4%B8%89%E9%99%B8%E5%9C%B0%E9%9C%87

This earthquake was about the same distance as the current one, and
less powerful. It killed more than 3,000 people.
This concerns me.

>>246
Basically, Tokyo is all right.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12710020
BBC

I wonder emergency evacution call was propler carried away.
If so, I guess there are a few people who didn't move eventhough they
knew the call.

What is meltdown?

>>240
but i think i could see many cars had been going around the site at NHK news.
so there is less time to leave..

>>253
Really? but the road is almost empty at the tsunami time.
I don't know why cars are running at that time though.
Didn't they came from another direction. I mean they might
have bothered to come near the dangerous zone.

I wish the Japanese 2ch users my deepest condolences.
I hope you pull through this as soon as possible.

I cannot watch the NHK channel on KeyholeTv this
morning. it is so patchy!

>>250 thank you. I will mail my people in Tokyo.

My people? Your modeling collegues or Johnny's fan circle?

>>255
Watch this then.

NHK via Ustream

The above link gives you more clear footage, it seems than 258.
The death toll rose to 28 and rising. Lots of missing people.

I am going to sleep. Good luck Japan. In the morning (late night in
Japan) I will check on the situation again.

>>260
Don't forget to jerk off before you sleep. Sweet dreams.

>>256>> You are incredibly rude. Not appropriate for times like this.

My family has acquaintances for over 30 years
and I have my own friends, flat mates and university colleagues.

I hope weirdo san is Ok too.

>>254
these pictures may more appropriate to draw the situation.
many cars are escaping or stuck near the impending tsunami .

When faced with an earthquake situation you must have a flashlight,
batteries, water, small plastic bags, non perishable food, firstaid kit,
hyperthermia blankets, paper tissues ready at all times.
If you have pets keep extra food for them.
I hope you will be OK when I return in the evening! Take care.

>>264
Yeah, pets can be served as precious food, valuable source of protein when you have no access to foods.

http://tokuriki.posterous.com/45630079
This photo shows how people are paying attention to securing enough foods at hand
when you are emergnecy like this.

>>262
I'm safe and sound.
Sorry for the anxiety I caused.

BBC reports 200-300 bodies found in Japan due to the massive earthquake.

How atrocious tsunami is!

This seems to be what techno is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4s2W_baaDE
Is this piece from Foetus techno? I didn't regard this as techno but
I realized this song was similar to examples of techno Mr.Sparky brought here.
Come to think of it, this song is very American and hiphoplike.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdXaR0dnH-M
I can't distinguish between techno and electropop and industrial.
noisy electro music = industrial.
right?

Death toll of this earthquake could be more than 1000 because I think
there are lots of people missing swept away by Tsunami.

This is a real tragedy. More severe situation than I first imagined.

GAAAAAAAAH
Electronic music is too complex

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCT43aawYOU
This may be techno music (i think)

"Techno" is also commonly confused with generalized descriptors, such as electronic music and dance music.[11][12][13]

fool and Romanians are too away from the center of the world.

Industrial music is a style of experimental music that draws on transgressive and provocative themes.

Please! let's be culturally sensitive.
I refuse to talk about celebrities and music with Japanese people.
This is their darkest hour.
I cannot get in touch with a colleague and his family in Sendai!
they are a lovely family and I got to know them year.
So please be sensitive.

>>283
google offers this service. i'm not how useful it is.
http://japan.person-finder.appspot.com/?lang=en

hope you'll find your friend and his family doing fine.

>>283
Every TV broadcaster (major broadcasters of six in all and
local broadcasters) has been
reporting about the earthquake without CM since its occurence.

Hosodaigaku (broadcasting university) is the only one exception.
It is broadcasting lectures as usual. Now TV kanagawa gave up
and back to usual program with tsunami caution map on the screen.

Emergency earthquake bulletin seems to be correct so far.
I felt tremors afterwards. But the authority couldn't predict
the first and the strongest tremor. That was regrettable.

>>266 Thank goodness you are alive Weirdo-san. Please take care.
>>273 Thank you I am watching it now.
>>274 I can send hugs .I feel so sad I need one right now.
>>283 Thank you. My colleague in Sendai is not listed there.
Both his corporate and university sites are down.
I will mail other colleagues who might know his whereabouts.
I heard from one friend from Tokyo, he had major damage in his house.
I have not heard from my ex flat mate nor our very dear family
friends.

Both his corporate and university sites are down

Tohoku University? it's one of the elite university in Japan.

>>287
Have you ever homestayed in Japan?

I am error.
X.X

I am at work now but wanted to check again. What is Japanese news
saying? How are the efforts going to rebuild after the earthquake?
And can people contact Sendai?

>>287
Quite a lot of people are faced with power outage so you can expect
them to write back to you in the meantime.

>>292
lots of aftershocks in wide areas bisides another big quake hit in inland Japan,
Nagano prefecture, which I don't know whether counted as one of the after shocks.
Because, I doubt Nagana didn't shake much in the quake yesterday.

People in Fukushima near the nuclear power plant are advised to evacuate
because there are possibility of radiation leak.

As for resucue efforts, I doubt that there's big progress, becasue
it's night here.

>>287
Wow. Hugs from white woman of 176 height? I'm kind of masochistic man.
I'm grinning now. I know it's not decent at this harsh time. But I have to.
Today's really stressful day. You gave me power.
I feel recharged now. Thank you!

In this time of emergency in Japan, Igirisu-jin is flirting with the Russian girl?

>>291
Shut up you stupid attention whore.

>>295
That's what I thought.

Hi, from the UK, I hope Japan recovers quickly!

My country is on standby to help if we are needed!

Keep safe everybody!

>>298
Thank you.
But, the damaged area was only a small one.
As for Japan as a whole, its damage is not big.
Though stock prices had gone down soon after the earthquake, it would go up
probably at the first of today.

The big pictures: The moment Japan's cataclysmic tsunami engulfed a nation
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1365318/

>>300

The earthquake itself did not damaged so much the suffered area.
Oil storage tanks had often burned when big earthquakes had occurred.
And, the only buildings which I heard collapsed was the building of a university
except for old houses.

But, after that, tunami attacked the area, which swallowed a lot of things,
houses, moving cars, and fields. It will be a direct reason of a huge expected
number of death yesterday. There are still a lot of missing people there.
The reason why they are missing is probably that they were washed away off the coast
due to tunami.

>>291
オマエガナ！

I am in mental pain and i feel the pain Sendai, Japan feels ><

>>302
Shut up. You Do not. And you are Insensitive

>>302
Shut up. You Do not. And you are Insensitive

>>302
Come back when you've been hit by a 10m tall tsunami.

The earthquake was/is disasterous.
I have never experienced such earthquake. The worst one Japan ever had.
The power went off for more than 6 hours even where I live.
Water supply is cut off even now. My family prepared some bottled water and
we're using it for now.
I'm deeply sorry for those who suffer from this.

God damn it Sparky, it amazes me how talented you are when it comes to
making an ass of yourself. Not everything is about you, you self centered
asshole. You have a shitty personality.

The tremor is horribly huge. I thought I was used to sort of tremor, but
had never experienced this. I live in a compartment on 9th floor.
What I thought was threatening was when glass and coffee cups and stuff dropped and shattered into pieces.
Father wasn't able to come home because the public trance portation wasn't available.
He says he's coming home now.

>>308
I hope your father can do.

Please no!
NOT ANOTHER CHERNOBYL DISASTER ><

>>309
Thanks. He was back at noon.

>>311
I'm pleased with your father's happiness.

All I can do in twitter is to tweet some information for people got injury
or lost their house by the earthquake and tsunami...

According to twitter, Kansai electric power co. and Kyusyu electric
power co. has started supplyed electricity to east-area of Japan.
So, if you live in Kansai area or Kyusyu area, please save electric
power as possible as you can.

>>312
What you are doing is like writing a message asking for a help with an address on it
and with a word KAKUSAN SHITEKUDASAI, isn't it?

>>314
Oh, thank you for advising me.

You are welcome. But, I didn't write intending to give you advice

>>316
Oh, sorry. I just misunderstood...

Now, I'm tweeting in English for all my foreign followers
to let them know the situation of this earthquake in twi-
tter.
And I ask them "please dominate to all disaster victims of
this earthquake if you'd like. Of course, I also do."

a meltdown may be happend at hukushima.

>>308
The tremor is horribly huge. I thought [ I was used to sort of tremor ],
but had never experienced this. I live in a compartment on 9th floor.
[ What I thought ] was [ [ threatening ] was [ when glass and coffee cups and stuff dropped and shattered into pieces ].
Father wasn't able to come home [ because the public trance portation wasn't available ].
He says [ he's coming home now ].

>>320
You trying to break apart his grammar? Well you're correct. But there
were a few grammatical mistakes, I don't know if you were looking for
them or not but:

The tremor is horribly huge. I thought [ I was used to {that} sort of tremor ],
but {I} had never experienced this. I live in {an apartment} on {the} 9th floor.
[ What I thought ] was [ [ threatening ] was [ when glass and coffee cups and stuff dropped and shattered into pieces ].
Father wasn't able to come home [ because the public {transportation} wasn't available ].
He says [ he's coming home now ].

By the way, "trance portation" sounds like an album of a trance music artist.

please dominate hahaha

When the news paper(NYT) headline say; "Japan Struggles to Reach Survivors
Quake Toll in Hundreds; New Radiation Fears" -
Doesn't it sound like as if entire Japan is struggling for rescuing survivors,
or fearing for radiation? But that is not true-.
We are fine in tokyo.. We must say our condolence to the people live in the seashore and local
cities in northern areas, though.
I guess Western or foreign newspapers tend to exaggerate it, in particular, if it's about calamity in Japan,
especially if it's NYT it's sort of their anti-Japanese traits?

>>323
Nah, that headline just sounds more interesting I think.

>>321
I want you to correct my English because it would cost me a lot of money if I had my writings corrected by using fee-based service.

I found a shocking video...

you think too much.

Nyt has been notoriously anti-Japan.
But this is rare occasion that their seeming anti-Japan voices are not heard,
because disaster already happened in Japan.

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2011/03/11/world/asia/20110312-JAPANREADER.html

nuclear facility at fukushima exploded.

Thinking about the people working on the nuclear plants is making me cry -
that I can only hope for their safety and that things turn out okay.
I wish I could do something for them ;_;

>>326
Do you think she's dead at the moment?

It looks as if she raised a left arms at the end.

I KNOW YOU ALREADY HAD 80 POUNDS OF BACON TODAY.

YOU BACON DOUBLE CHEESE BURGER EATING FAT COCKSUCKERS.
LOOSE SOME WEIGHT CHRIST FOR FUCKIN' SAKE!
JAPANESE IMMIGRATION SHOULD REFUSE THEM FAT FUCKERS TO ENTER JAPAN.
I'M SO FUCKIN' PISSED!

>>327
Well newspapers will certainly exaggerate the situation if they can,
because then more people buy the paper/go to the website and
then the paper makes more money.

>>325
Keep it within reason.

>>334
Your English is very good. You must be an American in disguise.

It looks like four people were injured by the Fukushima explosion.
Hopefully they don't die. Sounds like the explosion was big.

>>336
Hello, Mr.Nanashi. I've also heard the news. I'm glad they don't die.
But, something more awful maybe happened in there...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698

This appears to be one of the best real-time English-language resources
for up-to-date earthquake information.

American nuclear energy policy was geared toward anti-nuclear
strategy after the Theree Mile island incident happened.
Japan went on putting nuclear power plants on the center of
power policy even with prior two lessons.
I can't hope for real (clean) energy policy even with
this time meltdown incident. Vested interests matters more
for politicians and business people.
What a fool country!

Here comes a nuclear winter to make you bald!

I'll stay indoors and avoid radiation, thanks.

I was really upset yesterday but this morning I received a reply from
the Sendai colleague! He and his family are safe!

I have a number of Tokyo people who haven't replied yet. But most are
safe. I have flat mates from years ago I lost in touch with.
I am deteremined to find them and keep in touch.

It is very saddening news regarding the nuclear plant.
I hope it will be under control soon.

My heart goes out to all suffering people in Japan.
I believe Japanese spirit has the strength and resilience
to overcome the most devastating disasters.

I think NEETS and Hikikomori in Tohoku region are suffering the most.
They have to live at a shelter.

This was the ultimate test for nuclear energy.

Not only it is expensive it is screaming UNSAFE.
Nuclear power stations should never be allowed
to operate in earthquake countries.

People of the world should unite against the
nuclear madness.

with the russian girl?


↑Regular reminder↑

I can't bring myself to talk about that kind ot thing now...
Maybe it's because I'm Japanese.

>>294 It is all well hugging someone over the net. I hope you do it in
the real world too. Especially now when everyone needs everyone else in
your country. Why don't you give power to the other lonely and frightened
people? You didn't even hug me back after bragging about it so much.

I wanna hug you from the bottom my heart cuz I love you.

U.S. Pacific Rim on High Alert After Japan Quake Triggers Tsunami

(how strange this world is..) our world is all linked

Today when I went to the supermarket in Tokyo, I could never find any breads on
their shelves. I went around 4 different grocery stores in my town- but completely,
breads are gone at everywhere. I thought people are rushing to buy commodity foods
such like breads and rice.. and all sold out after the quake, because
there is emergency atmosphere in people's mind..??actually all shops were unusually crowded
with people with somewhat uneasy faces.
But later I heard.. breads were scarcely distributed from the beginning today,
and there were only few breads on their shelves.

おしい！
I thought people are→people were

なに？間違いチェック？自分でも散見してるよ！！おしいだなんて？
すいませんねｗ
bread are gone at everywhere→Breads are gibe everywhere　(atはいらないかも）」
commodity foods→常備食とか毎日の食糧とか、いう意味でこの語が使われるかどうか（いまいち不安？）

No offence to Sparky but now I really want her to stay out of this thread.
Your comments just touch a nerve somehow.

Nobody in Japan has not been having fun in this disaster.

I hope the fallout hits USA

My Russian friend is showing Anti Japanese attitude....

>>374
Please let us know in details.

Do russians know japan heled a lot and offered technology and
equipment when russian nuclear submarine sunk?

Concerning with the northern territory of Japan, Russians insist that they are theirs,
despite they had intruded there at around the end of the ww2.

at around the end of the ww2.

Precisely "after the japanese declaration of surrender"

>>378
No, they invaded our land before the declaration of surrender despite we had a nonaggression pact.
Don't you know the history(fact)?

http://folderman.tv/up/s/fotv13137.gif

Media overseas reports what Japanese media doesn't report because if Japanese media
report it, that can cause a panic to Japanese people.
We can't believe what our government say about the amount of radiation leak.

These are photos shot near Fukushima pref. border by foreign media where Nuclear power plant is.

PM Kan was rescued by the earthquake ironically. His Administration is likely to survive longer than anticipated.

The adminstration would last 1 month longer than I thought, yes.
No more no less.

>>383
I predict Mr.Kan will call for National Mobilization in this critical situation.
Then DPJ-LDP merger will be formed...what do you think?

>>379
Sorry, as you said the USSR invaded Japan just before the declaration
of surrender and the end of the World War 2.
What we have in mind is the same ; How despicable and coward Russian
Army is.
They know Japan was powerless at that time and would declare the defeat
soon. They broke the piece treaty between us.
The USSR kept on fighting and invading even after August 15
(the declaration of surrender or the declaration of acceptance of
unconditional surrender) , defact end of the War.
I wonder why the USSR officially claimed September 2, 1945 the
the victory day in 2010. I think justification of illegal
invasion and occupation by The USSR is behind this move.
The USSR seems to have kept on the operation of occupation after the sign of
the piece treagy though.

>>384
Yomiuri Shinbu implied kan's visit to the nuclear plants
may have delayed works and prompted accidents.
What a scum! I think oppositons will start attacking him
after citizens restored calmness.

>>385
>I wonder why the USSR officially claimed September 2, 1945 the
the victory day in 2010. I think justification of illegal
invasion and occupation by The USSR is behind this move.

I think the reason was that part of Japanese army was still fighting after the Japanese surrender, mostly because they didn't know the surrender.
Unlike in the internet age, they weren't informed properly.
As you know, Mr.(corporal)横井庄一 didn't know the war had ended until 1972.

" I am Yokoi Syoichi. It's a matter of shame, still I came back home."

This way, the war had finally ended in 1972.

Take a look at this Interactive Map!
http://www.nytimes.com/packages/flash/newsgraphics/2011/0311-japan-earthquake-map/index.html
Map of the Damage From the Japanese Earthquake

Doesn't it look like..almost like 2/3 of Japanese island's soil is all destroyed by Tsunami?

>>386
You are a lier. See this.
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/対日戦勝記念日

Have you watched the photo of Shigemitu Mamoru having signed
on the military ship, Missouri? That day was set as the victory day for United Nations,
which has been called Kokuren in Japan after the ww2.

>>390
As you say, I'm going to lie on the bed to sleep.
Good-night, folks.

Have a good night.
>>391

On today's noon, I donated my blood to Japanese red cross society.
I was taken my blood for 400ml.
the more you donate your blood to all the disaster victims, the more
they can keep themselves alive. So, please do this right now!

Goodnight everyone. Good luck on you, your family, lover, and friends.

>>393
400ml？？
are you alright??

>>393
I'm not sure that I have 400mL of blood in my body...

>>386 >>390
Sorry, my comments were misleading and confusing.
I knew September 2 is the official victory day
for most of the allies.
My question is why Russia bothered to disgnate Spetember 2 as victory day "in 2010". 2010 was just a yesteyday.
I guess russan's move was to justify their illegal
occpations of four islands, which they said were the legitimate fruits of victory over Japan.

As for the fighting, army couldn't easily
gave up and run away, knowing civilians were
raped and massacared by russian armys.
And I should note Russia invaed Japan before
the surrender.
Japanese army negotiated truce
with the USSR after 8.15 but Russians declined the
offrer.

Some japanese army
foght with south east nations against France and
Holland and etc, knowing Japan lost.

Do you get shaken by the quake?

Help please.

お悔やみ申し上げます。(my condolences)

Is this appropriate in this situation? Thank you.

>>351 I am glad you are capable of loving.
I hope you would make that love available to real people too,
not just some foreigner posting here.
The world would be a better place when you make someone happy
so keep on loving.

In my opinion, お悔やみis often used when someone was dead.

If you want to someone to cheer up or take heart, the expression might be a bit unsuitable for the situation.
In such cases, if I were in your shoes, I would say in the following　way.

この度は突然の災害でたいへんだったでしょうが、元気を出してがんばってください。

Other two sourses of the situations in Japan.

Some people just need to grow up and give in to the fact that we all have different principles that we live
to, more so if we come from different cultural backgrounds.
I've never eaten whale or dolphin meat before, but I still don't understand what separates whales and
dolphins from other more popular meat such as beef, pork and poutry.
I understand their point where they claim whales may go extinct, and how torturous dolphin hunting is,
but I feel that the truth is much simpler - they just can't stand the fact their 'cute' marine mammals are
being hunted for food.
I just hope Japan quites hunting whales and dolphins sometime soon, just so that we can get these self-
righteous, self-absorbed hypocrites off our backs.
If it means paying out billions of taxpayers' money to support those whose livelihood depend on hunting
these animals, so be it. It will be money well spent.

This isn't still confirmed and might be a rumor stage but the Bokemon
Creator is said to be dead.

Pokemon, not Bokemon
Bokemon sounds like Stupid Monster to me.

>>602
お悔やみ申し上げます　is for the dead.
お見舞い申し上げます is for the alive sufferer.

ご冥福お祈りいたします　May your ［his, her］ soul rest in peace
works for the dead too.

These expressions are formal and ceremonial.
These experessions are used, for example, in the letter or funeral or broadcasting.
People would frown at us if we couldn't write or say proper Japanese in
certain situations.

I guess many Japanese can't manage to write or say politely at
certain situations, especially yougsters can't. I'm one of them, which
doesn't mean my age is young but mean I'm still green.
We don't often confront the death and if so, we don't use formal words
among friends or family.
When we are grown up, the society becomes more complicated and we
have to know some manners.

To avoid Tokyo artificial earthquake


If you find Jewish trying to evacuate from Tokyo,it could mean another artificial earthquake on Tokyo!


I do not discuss the detail for a while, but we can’t miss the fact that

thousands of Jewish people then working at World Trade Center twin

buildings, for some reason, kept themselves from the twin tower on that day

when the 9/11 terrorist attack occurred, and none of them were victimized from the tragedy.

Please notice us if you find your Jewish friends evacuate from the Tokyo

metropolitan area. Please make a lot of fuss on net. Our aim is to stop them

from practicing their conspiracy, to make them giving up their plan of attacking Tokyo

with artificial earthquakes. We won’t let them destroy Japan anymore!

I guess the writer is a nigger. A picture of negro man on his youtube page
shows his preference for nigger culture ; gang raping and robbing
and drugs.
I think he would gangrape and start robbing in disasters like the
latest one.
I don't regard nigroman as Brits.
His misspelling, imbreed of inbreed shows he is not average Brit either.

Koreans(real gook), who have stuck to Confucianism than
its master Chinese, prefers to call Japanese descendants ofinbreed.
So, he might be a gook brit and masquarade as normal brit. That cheating
is well-known korean tactics.
Either way he is scum.
It's ironical that the nigroman on his page shows a pose like
Bruce Lee or Karate Master. Bruce Lee is chink (1/4 german american)
and often mistaken as Japanese abroads.

If he is wigger, it doesn't matter. Whites polluted with nigger culture
are as good as nigger.

Thank you for the explanation of the reason.

We can't change the fact, however, the fact of interpretation(reason why) differs from person to person.(I'm not a teacher so I may be wrong.)

Back then, Japanese soldiers were indoctrinated into believing that surrendering was shameful, and were ordered to choose death rather than surrender. In the situation, they often launched desperate attack(so-called BANZAI CHARGE) so that they could die.
I think the word "surrender" was not in their dictionary. And some of them wouldn't believe that Japan had lost in the war.

the fact of interpretation →　interpretation of the fact
Sorry.

I still use floppy disks

>>424

Really? Are you mad?

How famous is Dr.Nakamatsu in America?

Dr.Nakamatsu is self-proclaimed inventer of floppy disk
and self-proclaimed inventer who surpassed Edison.
Also he was selected as no1 scientist in human history in
an science award.
He is runnnig for tokyo governer in the 2001 election.

Nakamatsu bragged that there was even Dr.Nakamatsu street
and Dr.Nakamatsu Day in America.

>>422
the fact of interpretation(reason why) differs from person to person.(I'm not a teacher so I may be wrong.)
Agreed.
I guess hokkaido is near so exchange of information was
not difficult.
I guess the situation was different from soldiers who were wandering in the jungles in
the Southeast Asia.

I don't have correct information. But there seemed to be shameful and
shrewd army men who abandoned japanese in china and now russian-held japan
and escaped first.
This line was believed more and I think my father told me
like that angrily.
So today's study shows different angle that (some) Japanese army fought
bravely against the USSR.
History has two dimensions and new facts have been excavated.

oh no...what is gonna become of japan

If in this extreme emergency Igirisu-jin doesn't show up to say hi,

So do not be disappointed. I am sure he loves Japan and is
very upset.

His legend of floppydisk is still prevalent to a certain level.

I saw his house in Setagaya ward.
His house can be called a mansion in American standard, wide

A suite room with one glass with no partition was dazzling.

Its no doubt he is a millionare.
I don't know how he got it though.

If what we write here is getting on your nerves take a gardening leave.
We are all in sympathy and expressed that several times.

who are you who gives me that order?

Human beings are a kind of animal that can think of good things or bad things at the same time.
Because according to the Bible, the ancestors of them, Adam and Eve eat a fruit of knowledge.
There is a proverb in Japan, which says 他人の不幸は蜜の味。
With my English ability, it's a bit difficult to translate the phrase into English.
I've read a article somewhere that brain science proved that the proverb is true.

Igirisu-jin! It's nice to see you again!
Thank you for you going extra miles to post here.
When I put the cursor on your name, it says 代理書き込み at the bottom of
my browser, meaning you asked anyone to post instead of you.

I don't know if you asked your friend to post or you used 2chan's alternate post thread to ask someone
to post instead of you. I have used the latter when my ISP was banned and that wasn't easy to do it.
Sorry for the trouble.

Hope the access denial to you will end soon or you'll find a new proxy.

>>464's English was perfectly fine, aside from some minor errors.

>>468
Eh? It makes perfect sense. The grammar is a bit strange, but not inherently wrong by any means.

Sparky, why are you here? Don't you belong in /g/ or something?

>>469
I got it. Thanks.

>>474
"to search for ... " was a bit confusing. I would put it in the beginning of the sentence.

>>476
That doesn't make it wrong, though. "In order to search for" would have a smoother flow, but isn't really necessary.

I agree that the statement should be refined with better grammar, but to state that the original didn't make sense was a bit of an overstatement in my humble opinion.

>477
I smell (ﾟ⊇ﾟ)ｶﾞｲｼﾞｿｰ

>>460
My Japanese ability is limited, but I'd translate 「代理書き込み」 as "A stranger's misfortune tastes of honey" or something similar.

It is similar to many English statements of the form "One man's [noun] is another man's [noun]", the most common of which is "One man's trash is another man's treasure."

>>478
Indeed you do. I used to post here in the past, oft under a trip, but was not able to continue until now (as in the past 45 minutes).

>>483
Foreign media sources seem to be exaggerating the danger of the nuclear reactors' situation. Publishing fear-mongering and sensationalist stories for ratings is very common among these sources right now.
The general public knows very little about the type of reactors involved, and are overreacting.
I think the Japanese have handled the situation admirably.

I am foreign, but have friends in Japan I cannot get in contact with since the earthquake happened. They are probably safe, but I am still worried. Most of them live in central Tokyo, so they are probably safe.

Oops! I had copied the wrong line. I did not know many of the kanji, so I meant to copy 他人の不幸は蜜の味 but accidently copied 代理書き込み.
I do not know why I did not notice that I copied the wrong words.

>480
>what do you mean by (as in the past 45 minutes)?
I meant that I had only been able to post to 2ch again since 45 minutes before that post.

>>488
>Oops! I had copied the wrong line.

Now I understand what you meant. haha Seems like I jumped to a conclusion.

Thanks for the explanation of "as in the past 45 minutes."
I hope native English speakers like you come visit this thread no matter if you use
trip code or not.

>>489
I visit 2ch to practice reading Japanese; in return, I like to help with English when I can!

I will definitely visit this thread when I am able to. 2ch likes to block foreign ISPs, but my
current VPN gives me a Japanese IP. I hope they don't ban it, so that I may continue to post.

Long ago, I used the name "Ether" here with a tripcode. For now, I think I will
leave it this way unless anyone wants me to use a trip.

>I think the Japanese have handled the situation admirably.

Albeit with considerable help from the US navy offshore. We should be handling this totally on our own.
Failing that, we shouldn't rely on nuclear anymore. Don't you agree?

>>490
Oh, I remember you! You're from Florida if my memory serves right.
I hope 2ch won't ban you.

>>491
I feel it is admirable that the Japanese realized when they needed help and
asked for it. It was the responsible thing to do. Many governments would
be too arrogant and prideful to ask for help, and the situation would
spiral further out of control.

The fact that it took an earthquake of that magnitude to cause that mere
amount of damage to the nuclear plants speaks for their safety and
integrity. I support the construction of nuclear power plants, and
do not think the Japanese are at fault in this situation. It is less
severe than what many news sources portray it as.

While I think it is a good thing that sovereign nations exist, in the end
we are all in this together. When such a large disaster occurs, it is
the entire world's duty to assist one another to resolve it.

>>492
Oh wow, I'm surprised anyone is still here from that time!

Yes, I am the person from Florida.

>>490
I think you should read novels or newspaper articles written in Japanese so that you can acquire
an excellent style of Japanese.
The Japanese language posted in those who inhabit in 2ch is terrible. I assure you. lol

>>495
Novels and newspaper articles are too far beyond my skill, so they are very difficult for me.
I have never had any formal education in Japanese and have taught myself everything I know.
My Japanese grammar is pretty bad. You speak English on a far higher level than I speak Japanese!
I only know hiragana, katakana, maybe 100 kanji, a decent vocabulary and very basic grammar. I
rely on a dictionary for most of the kanji I see.

Even if the Japanese posted on 2ch is terrible, it is still above my level!

I might start taking Japanese language classes in the fall at my university, but I am not sure yet.
It depends on what other courses I have to take.

>>493
Just wondering, you might be in the minority in your country as far as your position on nuclear power as energy resources goes.
I bet what happened would have greatly affected people's take on the issue where you live.
It seems your logic can be easily construed in the opposite way: "Look, even the country with such advanced seismic technology suffered that much. That's a clear sign that we shouldn't go nuclear."

I am sorry I forgot to thank everyone who replied to my post,
asking how to say "condolences" in Japanese.

>>493
Your compliment is sure reassuring. Thank you very much. Having said that,
from what I hear and see here in Japan, it looks like what's going on now is nothing to sneeze at.
The shocking news is that Kashima Antlers, the Manchester United of Japan, in Ibaragi Prefecture has just announced that
they will be canceling all their schedule indefinitely.

>>493 In that case we need to elect a World Government.

Maybe that would help with dealing with disasters and avoid famine,
drought and wars.

Why not? I would elect Kame as the world prime minister.
He is good at producing. I would then be the head of the world state,
with power to veto his laws. He would then have to come to my room
and ask me why and I would explain it to him,,,,,

>>500
Do you happen to be a cougar like Demi Moore?

there are no cougars on Venus.

>>500
could you imagine the bureaucratic nightmare that would be a single government?
I call the minister of fornication job

Give me a break!
Odawara earthquake(kanto earthquake) occured in a chain reaction?

>>498
Don't mention it. It's my pleasure to help someone whom I love.
You are my sunshine! You are my everything!
I can't live without you. Believe me!

I'm worried that you are mistaken for the guy who had the
privilage to get three throwing kisses and hugs via internet.
It's me. LOL
Don't intervene between us! hahaha.
>>350
I wanted to send you back and write some inappropiate comments
for this situation, like "I'm holding a pose hugged by you and
now I'm closing eyes and pouting...".

But the earthquake discouraged me. It has been very serious
incident and kept me from a foolish act.
I appreciate your kindness. Thank you very much wholeheartedly.
You are a very kind woman.

>>505
Are you coked up?

>>506
Japanese expatriates and Japanese Americans are likely to
overadapt to America. They are simply coward and don't want to be
disliked. Sycopant and groveling are the typical Japanese jobs.
I guess Japanese American virtue is too glamorized. They
were made to be on their knees to America by discrimination and
illegal incarceration.
I keep a distance from both Korea and China. But we should get
a bit of their sticking togheter and shouting their
rights in aborad.

>>507
Don't take my words seriously.
It's nothing more than my favorite phrases in English.

You are my sunshine! You are my everything!
I can't live without you. Believe me!

Is this? I think I havd heard something like these before.
Are you amuro namie or Misia or JIMMIE DAVIS or bono by any chance?

I think below poem can encourage all the disaster victims by Miyagi earthnquake.

Now, I translate this into English for all foreigners. (Notice: Please don't trust my English.)

道-Road

この道を行けばどうなるものか
You wonder if you go for this road.
危ぶむなかれ、危ぶめば道はなし
Don't be afraid. If you're afraid, you can never go anymore.
踏み出せばその一足は道となり、その一足は道となる
The more you go, the longer the road is.
迷わず行けよ、行けば分かるさ
Don't be dizzy and let yourself go. And you will know what I mean.

According to Yahoo news, the number of blood donors has increased in Hiroshima too.

See:http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20110315-00000005-minkei-l34

As I wrote in this thread, I also did that(I donated 400ml of my blood for them).
I hope the number will increase more and more.

Workers Strain to Retake Control After Blast and Fire at Japan Plant
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/16/world/asia/16nuclear.html

I think Japanese media's Internet site is irresponsible, to say at least.
Because they don't put precise information but only put the articles which is
"summarised" to the max, due to the limitation of volume of the text.
BUT the font size on Japanese websites are needlessly big, and
automatically restricting the information level and volume
delivered to the Japanese people.
As a result, we remain idiotic as a nation, because of this silliest "media control",
or media restriction.How come we can't resist against this situation?

>>512
Are you a fan of Inoki? Poem was made famous in the inoki's retirement
ceremony.
The last part of his speech was from Ikkyu Osyo(monk ikkkyu). I don't know
whether it was a direct excerption from ikkkyu poem or an adjustment
from Ikkyuu pem.
I searched on the narratative and found out a new fact.
Inoki misunderstood "the original of his poem" as Ikkyu's one.
But it was actuaaly the poem of poet 清沢哲夫 Tetsuo Kiyosawa.
此の道を行けば　どうなるのかと
危ぶむなかれ　危ぶめば　道はなし
　
ふみ出せば
その一足が　道となる
その一足が　道である
わからなくても　歩いて行け　行けば　わかるよ
This is the original script of the poem. It uses almost the same wording
as Inoki version, meaning almost the same. Kiyosawa version feels a bit
soft while Inoki's version feels more strong.

I searched on the narratative
I seached on the speech ○
narratative seems to be my original word.

Japan fears a nuclear disaster after reactor breach

You see, English websites are properly "KERNING" the texts since quite a few years ago,
But why Japanese websites could not apply the "Propotional Font"
and renovate itself for delivering much better level of information?
Who is neglecting the requirement of technical innovation?

I guess Not only English or Roman language websites, but
Arabic language websites are Kerning the fonts as well,
- Why only Japanese websites remain childish and squarely ugly with
these outdated, clumsily big fonts?

Shocking news!

Although reportedly, US army's fire extinguish team was dispatched to
the nuclear plant y'day afternoon, to quench the No.4 reactor's temporary fire -
and they succeeded-
Could someone tell me why Japanese fire dept etc. do the same thing on their own?-

Could someone tell me why Japanese fire dept etc. couldn't do the same thing on their own?-

>>522
Your information is so old.
The fire at No. 4 was extinguished by itself, not by the US military team,
though I am thankful to their help.

It's not normal fire and there aren't so many things fire dept can do at any rate.
There is nothing to burn except materials created in the process of nuclear reaction.

I don't wanna die yet.

huh?

I am following the aftershock and radiation news.
I am very sorry that my friends (real life and online)
are going through this terrifying experience.
I understand I cannot be of any help from such a distance.
I believe there must be a samurai spirit in each of you.
So please be strong and keep on fighting these dark times.

>>505

Keep on loving, wanting and feeling those great emotions.
That is key to survival.

>>507

"I'm holding a pose hugged by you and
now I'm closing eyes and pouting."

Are all guys adorable like you two over there?
I think am moving to Japan; wet, radiated, shaken...
does not matter.

A Japanese expert is saying on NHK that the fail-safe systems are not working at all so the situation is
far more worrisome than what was experienced at Three Mile Island. The government is asking the US for more knowledge and equipment to
keep it under control.
Maybe the media outside Japan were right all along.

>>497
Yeah, I might be in the minority. My education is primarily in the sciences,
so I have more understanding of the situation than the layman who hears the
word "nuclear" and cowers. People throw things out of proportion when it comes
to nuclear technology. The events at Fukushima are not even at three-mile-island
level -- which caused zero deaths and overall was very minor. What is true, however,
is that it gave anti-nuclear tech lobbyists something to complain about.

Most countries don't even have the seismic activity Japan does. My state, for
instance, never has earthquakes. We're not near the edge of a tectonic plate.
I've never felt the ground shake before. We just get hurricanes, tornadoes, and
massive amounts of lightning.

>>499
I suppose we will have to wait and see how the situation unfolds. It's nothing to
sneeze at, sure, but I feel the situation is not as dire as many would like to
believe.

>>500
I don't think a World Government would work out very well. Too many people have
drastically different ideals. It would be difficult to merge even just the
United States and Japan, despite how intertwined our economies are and how friendly
our governments are with one another. I can only imagine the problems that would
unfold when trying to absorb other nations into a World Government, such as those
with China, Cuba, and many middle-eastern nations.

>>529
I sincerely hope my government is able to assist yours.

stay strong Japan!

>>530
"Anti-nuclear tech lobbyists" seem to include former GE peole, who played major roles in designing
the ones in jeorpardy, according to ABC news.
Things are really spiraling out of control.

>>533
People seem to forget that the plants in question are also very old designs
and were constructed pre-Chernobyl. If plants of this antiquated design could
withstand this kind of shock and still not fail primary containment, it is
another testament to the safety of nuclear power. Alternative sources such
as coal continuously pump dangerous compounds into the air, and have far
more adverse health effects than the radioactive hydrogen leaks the Fukushima
plants are capable of releasing. As far as I am aware, the plants in
question are now at controllable temperatures, and radiation at the
gates of the plant are a mere 0.6 mSv/h. Radiation in other areas are in the
µSv/h range. It's nothing to worry about. Very minor.

News sources are just blowing things way out of proportion.

>>532
Sparky, why are you even here? Rejected from /g/ so you came here of all places?

>>534
no
I perfer 2channel community over the English speaking Internet

>>534
I am more interested in the Japanese cyber culture
Than USA cyber culture.

Being a little bit worried about a slight risk of contamination at a safe distance away (I mean in Tokyo) is one thing, but having to go through FORCED evacuation is quite another.
The latest news is that Unit 4 is now on fire.

>>537
Again?
The situation is getting like a whack-a-mole game.
I feel somewhat amused by the series of events, though I know I shouldn't.

The BBC:
"All this is already providing material for anti-nuclear groups to argue
that no nuclear facility can be designed to be completely safe.
This is manifestly correct; but the same is true for any industrial
operation. Supporters of nuclear power will point to the fact that so
far casualties number just a few, that engineers have so far - however
desperately - been able to confine the problem, and that far
fewer people die each year from nuclear accidents than in
coal-mining."

>>539
Not just coal mining, but the health problems caused by coal plants outweigh those
caused by nuclear power plants by a massive amount. Under normal operating conditions,
nuclear power is clean and safe. Under normal operations, burning coal pumps
carcinogens into the air at ridiculous rates. The anti-nuclear groups often try to
ignore this fact.

I think that anti-nuclear groups tend to insist on only negative aspects of the employment of atomic power.
Among convenient devices human beings invented there are quite a few things which claim their lives.
One of typical examples is cars.
I know how many people have die every year in Japan, but I've never heard that there exsists an anti- car group.

correction
I know how many people die every year by traffic accidents, but ....

The American media loves to spin things out of control(like the number of how many people were deceased during Hurricane Katrina).
I imagine the Japanese media doing the same thing.

Anyway, my condolences to anyone who were deeply affected by this disaster. I hope Japan gets back on it's feet.

The latest news of nuke plants in Fukushima pref.
Smoke is raising from the plant. Not clear from which reactor(s).

>>540
I agree. Although, spent nuclear fuel does have some environmental
problems, they aren't as bad as coal or oil's environmental problems.
In reality, wind, solar, etc. are the best options though.

>>544
I believe that's reactor 4. I hope there isn't a THIRD fire.

>>545
Newer type 4 breeder reactors, such as molten salt reactors, are very safe and
can actually use spent nuclear fuel as a new fuel source! All of that waste
can be used for fuel over again in breeder reactors, reducing its radioactivity
substantially.

>>541
I am against cars until they can drive them selves and are powered by hydrogen

I don't support 20th century infrastructure


Don't build NPP near fault lines not until we can control earth quakes

>>547
And what would you suggest we use for power until then? Traditional sources
such as coal are dirtier and less safe than nuclear power. Alternative sources
like solar and wind do not provide substantial amounts of power and require
far more surface area. Nuclear is the only sane choice we have right now.

Newer type 4 reactors should be used. Older type 1 and type 2 reactors should
be decommissioned as much as possible and replaced.

Far more deaths are caused by coal plants every year and far more health problems
are caused by coal plants every year than every other source of power combined.

Have you ever wondered why?
Because almost everyone knows how covenient cars are by directly making use of them on a daily basis.
Whereas when it comes to atomic power, he/she doesn't know how convenient it is because he/she doesn't directly take advantage of it.
It's a question of imagination.
If he/she puts the electrical plug into the outlet, one third of electricy he/she is about to use is made from atomic power.

This catastropphy, I believe, makes Igirisu-jin's hero Candle Jun busy.

>>549
I think Japan (and the US and other countries) should say "okay" to
the protesters and shut down all the nuclear power plants for 5 days.
Let's see how the protesters feel about not having electricity.

test

We don’t waste the experience of victims of the earthquake and the tsunami in Japan.
Japanese is tested now，for diligence，wisdom，spirit
and sincerity.
We revive surely.then Japan becomes storonger.

The standard of the action is it ，that questions oneself
“How do it become
it if all members do it？”

The damage of the earthquake and the tsunami extensive.
However，Japan shines agaIn.

We are relying on the US for our defense.
We have to rely on them in a time of emergency like this.
I'm curious what right-wing people would say in the face of all this.
Is Japan really a sovereign nation?
I'd really like to know what people like Shitaro Ishihara have to say.
Things are no different from the time of the occupation some 60 or more years ago.

>>554
Japan relies on my country for their defense because we dismantled their military after the war.
Japan has the JSDF, but if Japan wants to build a full-scale military, it would cost Japan
massive amounts of money. Is it better for Japan to have their own military
and spend all of that money maintaining it, or to rely on a friendly nation for help
as they are now? I would think that is a decision the Japanese should make. Japan is recognized as a
sovereign nation, and as such, can refuse the protection of the United States if it wishes.

Personally, I am glad that my government chooses to protect Japan.

As far as the emergency is concerned, you aren't receiving aid from only the
United States. Many countries have offered help, and Japan has accepted help from
several of them. In a disaster like this, it is our duty as humans to help
one another. It doesn't really matter what country the help comes from, just that
it comes!

Ask some people that were alive during the occupation if things are different. I may not
be Japanese, but I bet they would say that things are completely different! Do you
disagree?

>>555
Yea you're right- the US as it is already spends WAY too much money
on its military, so Japan should take advantage of the free money as
much as it can.
>>553
I agree. Interestingly, economists predict that Japan's economy will
grow after it recovers from the immediate effects of the disaster. Also,
it allows Japan to rebuild that destroyed areas from scratch and make
them better and more modern than before. Plus, the government and
the people will have learned a lot from this disaster. Like Japan did
after WWII, I think it will recover quickly and strongly.

It is true that having a military costs a lot of money, but I've heard some experts insist that
if Japan has a full-scale military, its ecomony will grow further because of military industry

>>557
In the end, though, the military doesn't provide a return on those investments.
It is a money sink; the military does not make a profit. So, while it can
create jobs in the short term, in the end it is a drain on the economy.

An earth quake hit my place just now again...
I didn't count, but probably more than 30 times only for a week..

>>554
"Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country."

This is an excerpt from John F Kennedy's inauguration speech.
We should do the best we can do. Stand up and help each other first.
Don't look back in sorrow for now. That's what you can do after things were back to normal.
Lets stay focused forward.

>>554
Japan is a sovereign country.
Do you know how many country rely on ridiculously huge military force
of the US which is about a half of the world
Are these all non-sovereign nations in your definition?
And do you believe that things now are the same before our independence?
You'd better study history more.

>>557
If military industry is beneficial to the economic growth,
then public construction should be too.
I don't believe that argument.

>>567
You mean you don't have class anyway? I didn't completely understand what you said.

Either way, I hope things go well for you and that your English teacher comes back!

Anyhow, I have to go to my university in a few hours. I should get some sleep. Good night, everyone!
It is currently 3:34 AM here. I will visit this thread again later.

>>570
lol, you're right.

>>568
Sweet dreams. I don't think he needed some help for his English study.
He just wanted to say his English teacher from overseas escaped from Tokyo
for fear that the nuke plants will scatter radiation into air and Tokyo will experience catastrophy.

I saw a blog post in which a woman posted her coworker went back to his
country for the same reason. I heard European embassies in Tokyo advise expats in Tokyo
to go back to their own country. So the act of his English teacher's escape
for temporary self evacuation for sometime can't be blamed.

>>569
A 6 page essay? You must be joking!
How many of us do you think can write such a long essay in English?
You don' know how hard it is for me to make up even a few lines.
If I wrote such a essay, my brain would be broken into pieces.

>>569
Internet's role of spreading Japanese pop cultures can't be ignored in
your essay.

Keywords for your essay are:
P to P software, Otaku, Internet forum, wapanese, anime, moe, J-pop,
copyright infringement, fan sub base, voluteer translator, digital contents
Train man, J-drama, Noriaki, Cool Tak, youtube, chatroom, 2channel, the list goes on and on...

＞僕は実に、別に危険じゃないと思います。

Actually I don't think it's particularly dangerous.

mmmmm?

>>574
Perhaps I should have added another 僕が。
僕は実に、僕が別に危険じゃないと思います。
I don't think I am actually particularly dangerous.
...says the nuclear reactor.

>>573
Are you Japanese or foreign? Could you explain a few of those?
Mainly, what is the significance of Sugumiya Noriaki and copyright
infringement to popular culture, and what do you mean by "chatroom"
and "digital contents"? The rest of those I know.
I'm going to bed though but I'll read this again tomorrow.

>>575
Oh and I didn't know Cool TAK was actually so popular.
But I guess he should be, because he is 一番かっこいい.

The adverb 「実に」sounds awkward in negative sentences.

実に危険だ。　Good. Sounds perfect.
実に危険じゃない。　Not advisable. Sounds really awkward.

On second thought, I realized my explanation isn't correct at all.

It has nothing to do with whether sentences are positive or negative.

［実に面白くない」　Sounds perfect though it's a negative sentence.


Sorry.

>>548
ANTI-MATTER

>>575
Japanese, and I just included Noriaki and Cool Tak as a joke. lol
Yes, Cool Tak is that one but you're wrong with Noriaki. (Never heard of Sugumiya Noriaki, personally.)
I'm talking about "Noriaki DA REAL."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWXSkgStqls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8XSGqO7vwk
Both Cool Tak and Noriaki is known to just limited small portion of Internet users.
Not popular at all among general people.

copyright infringement:J-pop and J drama, manga are spread via p to p software or
bey being stored on contents storage website like Youtube. In most cases without copyright infringement, they
can't be spread.

chatroom:Well, chatroom can work as a midium to spread information on Japanese pop culture...

digital contents: music, video, photos, files are all digital. If not, they can't be copied and
spread in the first place. Being digital is something you take for granted in this day and age, but
it's a crucial factor to spread information around the world and creat buzz and all that jazz.

i'm high school student.
i hope get 400 points of TOEIC.
but i don't good english.

Just learn English structure, not just words.

She is exactly from Tsunami struck areas and studies in US university.

Ah...I'm relieved to know her family are all safe.

I think Japanese customer service is the world's No.1.

>>593
>>595
thanks alot, I am ashamed of not recognizing that he is anti-japanese guy.fuck him.

I didn't know there was a thread like this chatting in English. I'm
also a beginner at 2 channel. I just made it a rule to come to this
thread every day and chat something in English.

Anyway I have a question (or doubt) about Twitter. Is Twitter really
helpful for those in the stricken areas of this earthquake?

I used to enjoy Twitter, but for the past few days a lot of people
seem to refrain from tweeting about their daily events such as "I'm
having lunch in Shibuya now," or "I'm going out with my girlfriend,"
or something, about which they had tweeted before the earthquake hit
Japan.

Is it wrong to tweet about something which has nothing to do with the
earthquake?

I must bring home the becon,do you think me?

>>598
I have the same impression as you regarding tweets for the past few days.
In this emergency situation, that can't be helped.

Not sure Twitter is useful in the disastor struck areas.

Some people here are from UK, US, etc, so you can enjoy chatting with them.
Have fun!

>>600

Thank you. I need to brush up my English more so that I can throughly
enjoy myself in this thread. I've been away from Twitter since the
earthquake stoke.

>>601
Do you think you Twitter is fun? I don't understand what's interesting about it.
Do you use mixi or Facebook, too?

I'll go to bed. See you later aligator nuclear reactor.

>>571
Yeah, I figured that was probably the case.

>>579
Except anti-matter can only be created in miniscule quantities, is nearly impossible to
contain, and it requires more energy to produce than it releases when it eliminates.

>>581
The best way to get better at any language is to use it! Have conversations
in English!

>>598
I don't think it's wrong to tweet something else. For some, it might be a relief
to see something not related to the disaster!

As >>600 said, there are native speakers (like myself) in this thread. I am from the United States.
Feel free to practice your English; if you don't understand something, please ask about it!

>>602
I am not 601, but I agree with you. I don't understand why people like to use Twitter. It doesn't
interest me. I have a Facebook account, but I almost never use it. It is the only way
I can contact some people, though.

>>602

No, Twitter is not fun as far as I'm concerned. In my view, only
those who have a large number of "followers" may think it's a lot of
fun.

A funny thing is those who have a lot of followers seem to make a great
effort to tweet a lot about the earthquake or the accidents that took
place at the nuclear power plant(s). They tend to talk about something
they don't really know. But I see those people aquire more and more
followers day by day.

This is a very strange phenomenon to me.

>>598
I think refraining from trivial tweets is a show of respect to those currently suffering from this disaster.
Besides, at least in Japan, you would be better off keeping your tweets serious when the death toll and
damage is this serious, because there is a realistic chance that some of your real life/virtual
acquaintances or their friends/relatives may have been affected by it.

>>591

Thank you. As I said in 605, I don't enjoy Twitter and I've
been a way from it for a while. I have a facebook account, and
this is very useful to get in touch with my old friends.

Oh you're from America. I've traveled there several times.

＞Thank you. I need to brush up my English more so that I can throughly

OK, why don't you say that in English?

You down head me.

you right?

Making teasing remarks is one thing and expressing yourself in
better English is another.

Oh, this is also like a high school students' English composition that
610 is talking about.

>>607
haha, read the thread title one million times.

Speaking (or writing) English is fun. I'd never noticed this until I
started to chat in English here. My way of learning English has been
so "passive" that I didn't (if not "never") actually use (output) it.
I'll avail myself of every oppurtunity to use English.

This thread is not your personal diary.
Use the blank side of junk papers for writing such things, kid.

>>610
Enough is enough!!

>>618 & 619

Then what do YOU want to do in this thread, honey?

>>620
I don't know.
But the last thing I want to do here is
to read crappy japanese sentences written by an idiot like >>610.

Oh sorry I was very much mistaken. I thought you're also criticizing
my schoolish English. You're actually criticizing the way 610 use this thread as
his (or her) persnal diary. Now I understand. Or I'm still mistaken...

Anyway it's time I went to bed. See you later!

>>610
Please don't discourage people who are actually decent at writing English.
>>622san, your English is fine.

I would recommend that if you think your English is very poor, write it in
both Japanese and English. Since this is a Chat in English thread, you have
to write in Japanese, but if you are not sure you can be understood, we
can certainly understand your Japanese.

>>624
Sorry,
Ｘ you have to write in Japanese
Ｏ you have to write in English

"thoroughly" は相当くるよ。

>>624

Thank you, that's a nice advice. I'll try to write in English no matter
what mean guys may say (I don't mind at all^^). If I don't come up with
the right expressions in English, then I may write in Japanese. But
writing English without even thinking about Japanese is so far a lot
of fun!

>>626

「相当くるよ」is another thing that's hard to be translated into English.
I can somehow understand it since I'm Japanese through and through.

"Throughly" is as you may know replaced by "completely".

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
I'm thoroughly confused.
It was a thoroughly professional performance
I can thoroughly recommend it.

... I throughly appreciate your comment. Thank you.

Oh "thoroughly" not "throughly".
I've throughly become a night owl...

On that note,

"I was not at all/not/barely/a bit/a little/kind of/kinda/sort of/sorta/
fairly/somewhat/decently/suitably/quite/moderately/
more than a little/very well/very/very much/highly/considerably/
strongly/totally/substantially/thoroughly/remarkably/completely/
utterly/absolutely/extremely/extraordinarily/incomprehensibly/
unfathomably surprised at the size of the earthquake."

There is some vocabulary for you, in order of strength, weakest to
strongest. Some of those sound a bit odd with "surprised" though,
but better with other words. But in general they can all be used
in the same fashion.

>>622
High school english is fine.
I'm not that good at writing and make mistakes many many times.
For me this is a thread for writing english without worrying too much about
grammer, style, pitch etc...

>>635
Oh, so you can read english. That's utterly surprising.

grammar スペル間違えてんじゃねえよ

>>610
Whether or not you feel it looks high-school level or what not makes no difference. If it's
valid English, then it's valid English. If I can understand it, then I can understand it. You can
argue with me about it if you like, but good luck. People come here to practice their English
skills; you shouldn't discourage them, no matter what level they're at... and that 「英作文」, as you
put it, was fine.

If you feel that you're qualified to comment, please proceed in English. I'm a native speaker and
Japanese is still a bit difficult for me. Yours was basic enough that even I could understand it,
though. One might even call it... high-school level.

>>615
Glad you enjoy it!

>>645
Right? I was beginning to think he only had the ability to criticize others'.

>脳死的な英語の化石化が進むだけだろ。

I don't remember how many times I laughed by reading this Japanese.
Only a person who has no brains can make it, I'm sure.

>>646
I should have included spelling to the
"things I don't care when I post at this thread" list in >>631.

I'm sure 637 and 638 cannot even write 脳死的な、高校英作文英語.
He or she is just a prankster.

Anyway there will be a blackout in about 3 hours.

Are those rolling blackouts really disruptive? Does it spoil your milk?

I want to Help Japan but
I am stuck here ><

I just donated to a relief fund, and I implore any other foreigners in this thread
to please do the same. Anything you can spare.

I decided to go out before the blackout comes.

and kill time by reading a book at a cafe. This is how I handle it.

well, the blackout in our area is cancelled. oh well...

http://edition.cnn.com/studentnews/

I have a question to native English speakers.
I was watching March 17th edition of CNN student news and I felt a bit
odd watching it.

The anchor was reporting news of Japan's disaster. First, with his arms
down on his sides and then he put his left hand in his pocket, and finally,
he put both of his hands in his pockets.

It's impossible for Japanese TV anchors to report news, tragic one for that
matter with his hands in his pockets. There's no doubt if Japanese anchor
did the same, the TV station would be flooded with calls from viewers, protesting
his behavior.

Did he mean to creat relaxed atmosphere? What do you think? I thought this is a kind of cultural difference but
it's kind of rude to report news that way, right?
Does he want to look cool or something by putting hands in his pocket?
Any idea? It's not that I hate him or anything, by the way.

>687

That guy put his hands into pocket just because the pockets were there.
No particular reason for doing it, I think.

>>687
I've never seen this "student news" program before, but it appear to be
far less formal than what we usually consider as news sources. It does not
give off any sort of professional air.

A page linked to from the link you provided states that "CNN Student News is a
ten-minute, commercial-free, daily news program for middle and high-school
students produced by the journalists and educators at CNN."

The reason it seems so unprofessional is because it's designed to appeal to
middle and high-school students, not adults. As for his mannerisms, such as
putting his hands in his pockets... as far as I am aware, there is no negative
stigma attached to this in the West. So it is a cultural difference (to some
degree) in my opinion. Even so, I don't think you would see these kinds of
relaxed mannerisms in a broadcast designed for an adult audience.

The pacing, language, explanations, and his mannerisms all seemed tuned for
school kids.

Below message copied from my twitter.

Hey guys. Why don't you donate money or blood for all the disaster victims?
Don't hesitate! Your brave can save their lives. All we don't have to do is to
have large stock of food or drink. People who didn't got such trouble in your
city must not have large stock of food or drink.
otherwise, the number of the dead will increase more and more...
All they need is food and drink. So, please don't do such silly thing! OK?
If you have some foreign followers live in Japan in your twitter, please send
these messages to them. These are so important.
Anyway, they all need your help. The more you help them with your money or
blood, the closer the resurrection day of Miyagi will be.

You can have full transcription on their site so it's popular among some
advanced English learners. You can check what the anchor said in the show
where you couldn't catch what he said later.

I recongnize cultural differences more between US and Japan by reading your post.
It may be a partly a matter of professionalism but even if the program
is designed for kids, still, putting hands in pockets look kind of rude and even arrogant to
viewers at least to me on Japanese standard. The theme talking about was
a terrible disaster many people are suffering from to boot.
I don't represent all Japanese people but I think quite a lot of people agree with me.

It was very good to know perspectives of people overseas. Thanks!

Mood on calm in Tokyo
The anti-Japanese expat reporter Hiroko Tabuchi, the typical yellow monkey, who is loyal to her White Master!
I wonder..how come her face is so weirdly deformed.. like a horror movie?
She is reporting on the above video, “All the parts of Tokyo is experiencing Rolling Blackouts”..although it’s entirely false.
The truth is “Almost all the metropolitan area of Tokyo is Not experiencing Rolling Blackouts at all,
but only the suburban areas are affected.”
This person has been launching series of sensational/exaggerating articles about Japan's desaster since a week ago-
probablly really really well paid by her masters

>>734
It's fine to criticize her integrity, but you don't need to be racist about it.

Furthermore, in the video, she says it affects "some parts of Tokyo" and warns of
risks that it COULD affect Tokyo as a whole in the future, not that it WOULD or HAS.
There is a key difference here. Effectively, you and her both said the exact same thing,
and you're arguing about absolutely nothing.

>>730
I have never seen something like that. Could you show me one?

>>725
then what?
there are insane people at any place.

>>735　You need to see what she's been writing.
I've been seeing the series of her reportings on New York Times in last 7 days, (with her american collegues.)
all of them banging on about Japan's situation as desperate as possible,
which is incessantly suggesting Japan "as a whole" is facing the "catastrophe"
..the final disaster..
Its quite disturbing. Awful sensationalism,

>>735 You shouldn't talk about the mere details of what you can get by your
English listening comprehention or something,
WHy the Japanese always switch the important topic into the banal
"Your Listening comprehention, and mine" issue? WHAT A SHAME?
Why you haven't been checking any of her outrageous
other articles on the NYT TOP PAGE?

>>738
(It's obvious from my writing, but I am not 735.)

You might be correct about her writing, though I am not sure I've read her writing.
But creating sensation is the strategy all media use in order to sell their products,
and we might just follow the strategy.

Besides, you don't have to use the word, "yellow monkey", to describe her.
It's a discriminatory expression to call all yellows.
I assume that you are Japanese and if so you are humiliating yourself.

Why you cannot talk about the main issue?
Under this horrible situation? I would say she is very influential
culprit, because she is writing the top articles, using her Japanese language ability.
Don't ankle-biting my posts. This is critical situation-
Because all these Anglo-Jewish media is aiming to maximize the negative effect of
all this natural and nuclear disaster in Japan in order to
bring Japan down into unprecedented low.
Please read the articles!
YOU are a shame.

>739
I am not Japanese. I am a native speaker. As I said, feel free to criticize
her integrity. I agree, and hate how sensationalist the news has been making
things. I was pointing out that 734 was mistaken for criticizing what she said
about the rolling blackouts, as she did not say that the entirety or even the
majority of Tokyo was experiencing them. I also didn't like how he referred
to a "White Master" as if to suggest that somehow White people keep people
as their lapdogs. It suggests that being White means you use people, and it's racist.
And for the record, I am White.

>>738
Yes, the sensationalist reporting in the West has made me quite angry too! I am
not defending her use of sensationalist reporting in other articles, I was simply saying
that the point with which 734 attacked her regarding the blackouts was false, because she never
stated what he claimed she stated.

>>739
I guess it's because if you understand her saying correctly,
what she is saying is essentially accurate.
That's 735 wanted to say in my understanding.

By the way, which article written by her is outrageously biased?
I read "Frantic Repairs Go On at Plant as Japan Raises Severity of Crisis"
and did not think that bad, though it's clear that she mistrusts our government.
(But who does believe our government now? I don't. Do you?)
So could you pick one article which clearly perverts the truth?

This title sounds very malicious & sensational--So I actually blamed them
posting a comment on this issue on NYT's other article's comment page, then actually..
they replaced the title 2,3 hours ago, although my post hasn't appeared and it's unclear if it's affected on the change or not)

- ↑ This is all true. NYT has been threatening about "inpending disaster just moments away"
every day during this past week- That was really terrible & disturbing.
I cannot believe if you missed their maliciousness..

>>744
Among them, which was the worst in your opinion?

The one with the strong opinion is "Dearth of Candor From Japan’s Leadership".
(I guess they changed the title of this one as well. The original was
"Flaw in Japan's Leadership Increases the Sense of Urgency" or something)
I don't like their argument, but this is a classic example of certain way to look at Japan:
Japan is culturally different, the system is flawed, bureaucrats are too strong etc...
One of the contributers for "Dearth of Candor From Japan’s Leadership" is Norimitsu,
and this is typical of his argument.

*744 No, they haven't replaced "Frantic Repairs goas on" title yet.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/19/world/asia/19japan.html?hp
(There are two similar articles with similar titles- with the same pic)

>>748
First of all I felt disturbed when I saw the 1st articles’ introduction (although none of us was observing the situation as
“crisis verged toward catastrophe” at all yet-It rubbed my nerve!,)
:http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/15/world/asia/15nuclear.html?scp=12&sq=Hiroko%20Tabuchi&st=cse
Japan Faces Potential Nuclear Disaster as Radiation Levels Rise
“Japan’s nuclear crisis verged toward catastrophe on Tuesday after an explosion
damaged the vessel containing the nuclear core at one reactor and a fire at
another spewed large amounts of radioactive material into the air,…”-

Then, This articles uses a lot of stimulus words continuously, like..
“a very high risk of further leakage”, “It diminished hopes earlier..”

(- Sorry, I found the 4th article was Martin Fackler<The current Tokyo bureau chief> s,
but not Tabuchi’s, but his introduction is also tinted with bulgar sensationalism.

In the 2nd article’s title, the word “Ruptured” - sounds very sensational and
Malicious to me, apparently written by the cheap “doomsayers.”
- Regardless of what the actually danger level is, the article is just only
trying to inflame the doom-and-gloomed feeling.., at its best-!

As to the “Dearth of Candor From Japan’s Leadership”, (yes, it’s co-authored by Onishi.
I was surprised he’s back!) This introduction is also, only filled with threatening tones.
And it says, “The sound and white smoke on Saturday turned out to be the first in a series
of explosions that set off a desperate struggle to bring four reactors under control
after their cooling systems were knocked out by the earthquake and tsunami.”
..regardless of what the detail of the fact is, the article is just trying to make sure the readers would
Believe the situation is leaning toward catastrophe.

If so, it's worth tweeting her directly not as long as she

point across, you can contact her to express you idea to her.

>>751
That's bad. If you're a girl, I'll massage your body.

>>750
Ok. I see now. What you wanted to say was that their tone of voices is inflammatory.
Then I agree. I especially hate all headers.

Many foreigners have fled from Japan and that might be affected by these media.
To me they look ridiculous.
If you carefully follow news, you must realize to stay in Tokyo is not unsafe.
Maybe they don't understand Japanese well and are too scared about this opaque situation,
(as a japanese to live overseas, I understand that feeling)
or this is another exaggeration by media,
and the proportion of them among internationals in Japan is actually small.

I heard the rumours that my gorgeous little turtle is deeply
troubled.

http://johnnys-watcher.seesaa.net/article/190683520.html

Normally I would not talk about it due to the situation in Japan.
But I want to uplift this gloom.
OK maybe my gloom. I am being selfish. Gomen.

The Central League tops must be hopelessly stupid to begin normal games only two weeks after the quake
under these circumstances.
Does he seriously believe that watching baseball games would really invigorate people in dire straits?
Even the players' union were against it.
I think they'll lose tons of fans if they hold nighter games while the eastern Japan is living under daily
rotational blackouts due to limited electricity.
The blackout in the evenings and night time is the worst because of the chill and darkness but I've seen
not one person utter a single word of complaint anywhere.
Not when our car's running low on gas but most the gas stations are closed due to insufficient supply,
and even if it's open, when we have to queue for hours to buy 20L or less gas, not when all the
supermarkets are completely out of many basic food items.
We're still being hit by afterquakes and every time, I grab my kids to throw them under the dining table if
necessary.
We're afraid to go outside for fear of radiation, but still have to in order to earn money and buy food.
But we accept all this because we know people out there are doing their damn best for us.

To think that these people hadn't already ruled out the possibily of night games was unbelievable and
simply outrageous.
I was thinking of taking my kids out to the ball game this summer, but not anymore.

test

Sorry for the sudden rant.
I only found out about the government requesting central league basebal to refrain from night games.
I had thought that was a given, in consideration of the large proportion of the public already assisting in
electricity conservation.
And just in case, I meant dire straits for those in the severely affected area, not me.

Players are the ones that will be least affected money-wise by the postponement.
People relying on baseball for their living will be the ones hardest hit.
The postponement is bad for the economy.
Officials at Minister of Bunka-sho won't be affected either.

Bunka-sho officials are control freaks.
They are doing a huge disservice to the economy and just about everything.

His natural introversion took over him due to a state of inactivity in business.

Bunka-sho sounds strange to me
文科省is the abbreviation for 文部科学省, which is pronounced "monbukagakusho" in Japanese.
So you should pronunce it "monkasho"

If I were saying it, I would use "its", because he said "the nation of Japan",
which is not plural.

I think that Europeans would disagree with me though. I have noticed that
they use "their". For example, I would say "Company pays its employees",
but I have seen it written (mostly by Europeans) as "Company pays their employees".

Long story short: I don't know which is technically correct, but either will be
understood (and probably not even noticed outside of some academic's ivory tower).

>>787
Thank you very much for your detailed explanation!
The example of "company" helps me understand more.

It's interesting to know that European people tend to use a plural form
in cases like this.

Hi everyone what's up?

So, what are u doing during electric power cut time?
if this power cut at the night time, i feel so cold and darkness
thus i can feel a little bit terror.

i want to repaire nuclear plant as fast as possible but news
is broadcasting it's useless anymore. absolutely, radiation crisis
is very serious but electric power down has difficulty for our
live as well as radiation hazard.
above all, petrol is nothing gus station. goods are nothing at
store. and public transportation is not normal operation thus
i can't go to work.

it goes without saying i want to help a lot of earthquake
victims but current my life is so hard like this !! therefore
i can't help considering only myself currently.

how about u?

I was curious about why >>787 knows the phrase "ivory tower" because I've thought
that 象牙の塔, the Japanese word for ivory tower, is an expression peculiar to Japan.
I knew it is derived from a French word when I consulted the dictionary.

>>790
I want to help all earth quake victims too!

(Re. Hiroko Tabuchi's issue-) It was quite foolish for me to see that >>742
and >>743 promptly appeared to put oppositions to my posts,
when I criticized how inflammatory the Tabuchi & NYtimes reported Japanese disaster's volatile situation-
And it was more than stupid because the reason why I dared to call her as "Yellow Monkey" was of course,
- as a Japanese by myself- a kind of "JOKE" ..I intentionally applied the "TERM" which White people ARE ACTUALLY USING in their soil.
..I have been living in US until recently so I know it very well, and what the reality is.
- Otherwise- why do I have to use such an apparent derogatory about our own race?

The thing which I meant to say in my post was: If Hiroko Tabuchi starts to write in such stupid manner,
bought off by NYT's money, it means she would automatically become an Yellow Monkey to serve White-dominated Western media.
Why I would change my position? And if a white person promptly appeared again here and blamed on me, I wouldn't care!

>>793
Don't take 2chan's posts too seriously in the first place.
Why don't you talk to Hiroko Tabushi via Twitter.

I'm surprised the suggested facebook page of Hiroko Tabuchi.was of other.sluttish girl's...with same name.
Actually the two girls look alike, but I don't think they are same person-
Whatta stupid development on this thread after I mentioned her?

-It's appalling to see that after 1 week has passed since the quake,
NYT suddenly ceased to insert their series of inflammatory articles about Japan since today,
It is shameless for all the readers to find - how they were doing it tactically just for selling paper.
and how Japanese reporter was bought off.
but they seems to realize: They would not see the sitation going to develop
just as they wish-like Japan to falling into final desaster,.

Guys please say something positive.
Something to look forward to.

>>793
The fact that you keep bringing up the "White" issue shows that you are a racist.

Do you think being White is a bad thing?

>>796
Something positive?
In this circumstance.

As u know current our circumstances.
i didn't eat breakfast today's morning due to nothing at least
bread in the convenience store !

there're nothing anything. we can't take anything.
of course, our town is NOT the disaster area !!

it might not get enough to salary next smonth 'Cause there're
nothing work by this massive earthquake effection.
it's unbelievable state now.
how will i live after this !?

>>798
Where do you live?

>>799
Kanagawa pref.

i dislike to que the petrol station very early morning thus
i haven't got the petrol in my car. i'm always using my bisycle
to go to somewhere therefore i can't visit to far stores now.

there're nothing goods in stores near around my home surely.
i know if i go to far area by using my car to buy something,
i'll be able to get.

should i buy my life goods using my car?

Now, earthquake !! i can feel !!

The program's air time was only 1 hour at first, but Izumiya decided to suspend
the time because of so many viewers' comments.
They sang one by one. Izumiya did his own song"Shunkasyuutou(Four seasons)",
Nakamura did"Tomodachi no uta(Song for my friend), and Kamon did "Ikari no

Oh, next time, on Ustream. I'm waitng for starting the program now.

"Ivory Tower" is a common expression in English to describe people that focus
on theory more than practicality. Like an English professor that spends his
days arguing with other professors over the usage of prepositions at the
beginning of the sentence. It doesn't mean that his work is useless, just
that.... no one in the Real World cares about such trivial things.

Is that close to the Japanese usage?

>>812
These are common expression to japan and english. The meaning is exactly the same.
I am not sure which is the original, but suspect it is from english.

Not just English professors, but most of the Japanese learning English
care about such trivial things all the time. That always strikes me as a waste of time.
Why is it such a big deal whether "in school" or "at school"?

I so agree

>>811
This is what New York is actually like

>>810
In the part of Tokyo where I live, things are normal as far as food supply.
The only difference I have noticed is that the stores are dimly lit.
No problem with public transportation either. How about where you live, friends?

Oh BTW, is it that most foreign residents have fled from Tokyo already? Or are you still here in Tokyo?

>>818
I think fleeing from Tokyo is absolutely unnecessary.
I understand their concern if they have kids or are pregnant.
But, if most of foreigners have left Tokyo, then they are no-brainers.

I seemed to set my expectation too high for Dragon Age 2.
It's a boring story with full of bugs. If asked to rate the game on the scale of

すみません>>821です。
しばらく席をはずします。宜しくお願いします。

>>819 I just agree with your feeling about fleeing foreigners..
But your usage of the word "no-brainer" is really correct?..
I was thinking it means "考えなくても当然な事”"今では当たり前になり過ぎて、
意識にすら上らないこと"
(I've always seeng that the word is used in meaning that way..

But you used it to suggest "ばか、あほ、間抜け"　）
...oh yeah. it seems the dictionaly also mentioned that meaning..
(So is it really correct?..I didn't know that)

Super gay is still here.

>>823
In my opinion, when the word " no-brainer" is used as the former meaning in a sentence
the subject makes something like " events" or" objects".
On the other hand, when it is used as the latter meaning, the suject becomes " person."
So it is obvious that>>818 used it as the latter meaning because the subject " they" means " persons"

>>818→>>819

I was thinking the word "no-brainer" is the funniest word,
which may phonetically corresponds to "脳タリン"　"無能"
(- because the word "no" and "脳" sound like homonyms,
..So, one may easily confuse that it would have above japanese meanings,
but the fact is,. I thought it doesn't have such meaning..)
But you mean, it means the same?..

I also thought it sounds like 無脳症　
but 無脳症 is anencephaly

You are thinking too much nonsense.

A large proportion of people in any country actually don't have a brain.
They are like robots responding to stimulus from outside.
Watch out for a smart guy who attempts to manipulate them.

A man walked into a doctor’s surgery with a parrot sitting on his
shoulder. “What can I do for you?” the doctor asked the man.
The parrot said, “Could you please remove this man from my butt?”

CRAZY

Earthquake survivors should be given privacy.
Cameras are prying on survivors, forcing them talk when they have
lost or found a family member. There is no respect sometimes.
they are shown crying and in shock.
That is so cruel!

People should be allowed to recuperate and be allowed to be in peace.
they should talk only if they want to.
We outside Japan should be sensitive and be careful of the voyeuristic,
manipulative media.

Dose Japan Support transhumanism?

I am clueless what you are talking about. I'll bet most Japanese have never even heard the word before (me included).

"Transhumanism is an international intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally transforming
..." Wikipedia トランスヒューマニスム

I just checked a Wikipedia page about what transhumanism is. They explain it in a difficult way, but transhumanism is basically a technology that enables a human being to live longer.

I guess wooden utility pole can be seen in
a rural area. I don't remember the last time I saw it though.
Maybe that was more than one or two decades ago.
It could happen that wooden utility poles were replaced with
new ones.

wooden pole in Hatano. Hatano is not far from Tokyo and Yokohama,
nearly one hour distance to Shinjuku by rapid Train.
Hatano is a typical country place lined with mountains.
I used to enjoy the scenaries from the train window ,inculuding the scenary
of Hatano and retunred to the starting point(my staition) by using an admission ticket.
I can't do this anymore because almost all ticket wicket
became automatic and the time of gettin on and off
would be recored by the machine.

When you go to NY's Manhattan, you cannot see even a single electric pole..
But in the neighboring area, such as New Jersey City or Queens borough,
actually you can easily see the wooden poles..
I'm also sometimes putting my eyes on the pictures of the town scapes
in the US -found on the Internet, to find whether they have wooden poles

In metropolitan NY City area it's all buried underground.

I was going to go to Japan this summer to study abroad, but it has
been cancelled because of the earthquake.

Never mind. Mr.Nanashi. As Billy Joel says in his song,
You're only human, don't forget your second wind.

>>882
That's sooooo stupid descion.
It's still 4 months to go and until then there'll be no nuke radiation
worries. The measure like that doesn't work in favor of Japan's economy.
If we are serious about reviving Japan, we have to do economic activities
as usual, shopping, eating out, traveling etc. Less spending for Japan
effects Japan's economy in a bad way.

Having said that, the way overseas media reports the series of disastrous
events here sure make you people overseas and foreign residents in Japan alike think that
the situations here are more terrible than they actually are.
Overseas media is overreacting, sensationalizing and exaggerating things (partly to get people's attention and get more
ad revenue or/and subscription.)

What Japanese media reports are more close, if not pinpoint accurate, to the current real nuke plant situation.
But foreign residents here and people abroad don't understand Japanese
and all they can do is to read the reports of media overseas which exaggerate things.

Watch this video. ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH7JYAphuTE
He's from America and has lived in Japan for years and very fulent.
Actually he's more fluent than average Japanese. He even speak Tohoku dialect,
which is the Tsunami struck region. His message in the vid
hits the nail right on the head. He speaks in English in the video.

I do wanna suggest that gov. Shintaro Ishihara and Yomiuri Shinbun
president Nabetsune and Osaka chairYoshiaki Nagata should sock
up the radioactivity from the Fukushima.

See below URL
Ishihara: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0yM309YxKk
Nabetsune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYV-MQkeKGU
Nagata: http://www.asahi.com/national/update/0320/OSK201103200049.html

They must die right now. What do you think of them?

Lately, I've been puting the application, Pray for Japan on my icon in twitter.
I hope this problem of big earthquake will fade away soon.

>>875
It's more than that
there is also Postgenderism
which is .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postgenderism


Transhumanism: an ideology and movement which seeks to develop and make available technologies that eliminate aging and greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities, in order to achieve a "posthuman future".

The anime Ghost in the Shell has Transhumans in it

Personally, I think Ishihara's coments are the worst. He is not human.
No one can say such a thing as 天罰　or somethig like that, if he takes quake survivers' situation into consideration.

TEAM　ネギ〜！

Attention! of Johnny's fans all over the world.
The agency announced that all the Johnny's entertainers will join in relief activities project for
Tohoku Earthquake.
The agency provided 2 power-supply cars and five 11-ton trucks to
several municipal governments. In addition to that, all the entertainers
including Masahiko Kondo with the longest carrer, Shonen-tai, SMAP, and ARASHI will band together to support
the disaster victims for the long term.
They took action for 9 years after Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake by J-FRIENDS made of TOKIO, V6 and kinki kids
whose members are from Kansai area. The new project this time will become a larger scale activity than that.
--------------------------
Time for KG2chan to donate some money for the project's success.

>>884

I think you are completely right, as is the person in that video.
Thank you for posting that reply. It's hard to find people in the US
that think like that. Everyone thinks it's a huge disaster and that
Japan has become dangerous.

>>884
Haha, Daniel Kahl.
This is the first time I've seen him for a long period (more than 5 years).
He look like an old man right now.
But no doubt a good video. I like it.

>>893
You're welcome. He's a TV personality and famouse.
I didn't know that he has his Youtube account until someone put its link
on his twitter account.

>>894
Yeah, I hadn't seen him for a while until I saw the video, too and
thought that he looks very old in the video than when I saw him last.
I hope he's doing fine.

Ａn American professor of Aoyama Gakuin University said things like
Daniel Karl on TV.
He sad He has his wife and children in Tokyo and it was no problem.

Funny thing is that he always speaks Japanese in TV shows, almost
nobody has heard him speak English.

Some of the comments from the Japanese to the video says, "You speak
English very well!"

I for one, has seen him speaking English in NHK's cooking program.
http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/tv/kitchen/
In the middle of the page on the right, there's "Basics" and
there are 2 links to two videos where Daniel is speaking English.
This show is for foregners interested in Japanese dishes.

For more info about the woman in the middle, you can check here.

I happened to see Chuck Willson, another famous American
geinojin today on TV. At first I didn't know the man on TV
was Chuck Willson and thought the man was new to me
because he looked quite old with gray hair.
His big wide shoulders and reminescent face told he
was Chuck Willson leter. It was a couple of years sinece I saw
Chuck on TV. He was as famous as Dave Spector, the most famous
gaijin in Japan. Thesedays I only see him at least once in a year
in a sumo tournament among geijojins in a seasonal special program.
This time he was sitting on a booth and replying about the incidents
unique to Japan. It had nothing to do with the earthquake.

His English seems to be still halting even though he has lived in
Japan for a long time. I dont know what makes the difference between
Dave Spector and Chuck Willson.
His written Japanese are perfect at first glance though.
http://www.chuckwil.com/column/back100.html

His English seems to be still halting

Sorry Ofcourse I meant to write
His "japanese" seems to be still halting

Chuck Willson seems to be more important person than he looks.
I learned he is the first man to introduce aerobics to Japan.

His colum in Japanese is humorous and funny but I bet someone proofred it
before posting there.

Nanashi, you seem to do part-time. You can save money and come to
Japan on your private trip this summer.

With very cheap air fare you buy on the net, extreme cheap accomodations like youth hostel
free JR pass, it's not possible to afford your private trip.

>you seem to do part-time

You seem to be doing part-time.

I have bad breath, what Can I do?

Brush teath, is what I do and has never been a solution.

Maybe my teeh are artificial so smell factors are accumulated inside
the artificial teath for years. All I can do is replace them with new one
but it costs a lot and takes a lot of time.

Sh*t.

Maybe you eat too much meat or junk food.
