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, stupid fan girls of Johnny's Boys, and
an electrical super gay who suffers from mental disease
And let's hope the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!

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

まだやるの？

Where is the tea? I need my tea!

faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafffffffffffffffff
olo

>>3
the tea was sent to tohoku region. please your patience thank you..

>>5 In that case I will wait patiently for new tea to be harvested.
I look forward to it.

>>6 Today is Earth Day, as if the planet needed us to declare it.
Silly humans.

Horikita Maki is on TBS now!! But I have so much catch up work to do...

GJ, idiot!

I wonder what >>1 was drinking.
I wonder which is faster, Igirisu-jin's comeback or the end of commotions about leaking
radioactive substances from the nuclear plant.

With very few contents NicoNico video English version has launched.
http://www.niconico.com/

The service isn't localized version of the original niconico video.
It's independent one hence, as of now not many contents.

According this English article, Niconico English doesnt's sound promising as of now.
http://www.serkantoto.com/2011/04/21/dwango-nico-nico-english-terrible-video-services/

I think he's not a native English speaker judging from his name and I thought I read
somewhere he's from Germany or somewhere.

Do you think his English is perfect?

iwannadiehelpmeplease

>>10
Haha the name "Dr. Serkan Toto" sounds funny. But his English is perfectly fine, he could be
American or British. Alternatively, he could not be a native speaker and just be very fluent.
I think he's right though, English Niconico probably won't work well.

>10
There's no point in an english niconico that has the content separated
from the japanese. The only reason an English-speaker would want to
go to niconico is to see content made by Japanese people. Otherwise it's
just Youtube with annoying words flying across the screen.
(Not that I wouldn't love to see a legitamate competitor to crappy youtube)

>>12
No weird expression in his posts? not a bit?
I often see the title Dr. in American or maybe UK. I assume American society value
PhD. more than any other country and they are very pround of having PhD, I take it.

>>13
English speaking people can make their own culture of niconico there.
At least you can communicate in English by posting English comment there.

>>12
I don't think he's British. In this post, he says "favorite" without a 'u.'
http://www.serkantoto.com/2011/04/18/resident-evil-gree-social-game/

>>10
>>12
Also, google told me that the name 'Serkan' is Turkish.

I find this website is funny
http://www.cnngo.com/tokyo/life/its-so-hard-say-sayonara-japan-578950

It's saying about Japanese convenience stores' "over-caring staff" ..
(A funny expression, but hitting the nail..?)

(- it calles them as: "over-caring store staff"..in a photo caption on this page)

[I mean you'd find it especially true.. if you have returned
from US etc.. since the store clerks overseas are very blunt & unkind ]

sometimes, I feel native's english is hard to understand.

Long time no see, everyone.

Let me give news about my twitter to all you. I've changed
my icon and background on my twitter. Both are related to
popular Japanese drama, Tantei monogatari(A detective's
story) starring late Japanese actor Yusaku Matsuda.

My icon is the captured image of the drama's opening that
he is on his way to make coffee before drink it and shoot
out from his mouth. lol.

This is the opening theme of the drama, Bad city song by Shougun.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y6LGpEK7FI&feature=related
The lyric is all in English. So, you could hear what he sings.

>>16
Oh, maybe you're right. He's Turkish. Thanks for the info.

Automated translations between Japanese and English are very mediocre.
Besides, there's Google Translate on Android for that.

If you want to speak English, then learn English.
I want to speak Japanese, so I'm learning Japanese.

I have a question about adjective "retarded."
Is the word more than a being a moron or stupid?

"retarded" has a connotation of mental disability, regarding failing to
grow up normally?

Yes to everything.

Can anyone tell me whether one of these extensions will send me back to
the thread automatically after I post, so I won't have to use the bookmark repeatedly?

My Japanese isn't good enough to understand the descriptions.

Oops, forgot the link. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search?q=2ch
Thanks.

I hope 2ch doesn't think I'm spamming because I just posted three times.
It wasn't on purpose, I promise!

Use read.crx. It works quite nicely.
The others may be good but I wouldn't know.
Read.crx has its own little mini-browser which does return you to your thread after posting
(posting replies is in a popup window) but you can also bookmark threads within the app.

>>35
A test post from read.crx. I don't understand all the buttons, but then,
I never understood all the buttons on the website either, so that's no
loss. Looks cool. Thanks, nanashi.

We have are having the most beautiful Easter break ever in the UK.
The flowers in bloom, the doves cooing, blackbirds singing.
The moon (was) full and red and bright at night
English springs are truly romantic,
In this town of the eccentric
Spring time is sooo pretty!
Definitely a time for romance.
Alas! I have no time for making merry...

>>37
Ah, kg2ch. Thank you for being my follower on twitter.
I give you thankyou again.

(Below is my tweetings copied from my twitter)

Today I had two classes in interschool. After school, I went to
Tower Record round about there and bought five 5 CDs.

Chuck Berry/The best of Chuck Berry
ABBA/Gold(Greatest hits)
Back street boys/Greatest hits-Chapter one
Led Zeppelin/Mother ship
And Aerosmith/O,yeah!-Ultimate Aerosmith hits

It's been a long time to buy CDs. Incidentally, I long for
LADY GAGA's new album, Born this way be released on
23th May in Japan. I've already had her album, The fame
monster. And I like the songs of the album.
Oh, I'm seeing her official website now. The new album jacket is so strange.
GAGA bicycle? lol Anyway, Golden week will come to all of us
Do you have some plans to do on the special holidays? me? I... I still don't
have any plans. haha As the Beatles and Japanese rock band, Mr.Children
says in their songs, Tomorrow never knows! That's why I still don't have any plans.
This video is Madonna's song's MV, Holiday.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDvHO5ZSGo8&feature=related

Have good golden weeks! My every follower!

>>31
If you put a cursor on each icons of the page, they show descriptions of each extention.
a few of the popups are written in English. Among Japanese popups there
written in Japanese, there's no explanations about whethere they provide the feature you need.

The description of the popups of read.crx. icon means just "2ch browser." Maybe the extention
has the feature you need. I don't know much about 2ch browsers and extentions or addons for
2ch, so I don't know. Maybe nanashi's right.

English board 2ch requires you to post at least 30 seconds interval,
if your post intervals are longer than that, that's OK. They don't take just three consecutive posts with
longer than 30 seconds intervals as spams, I'd say.

>>40
Right, I just hoped one of you could check the descriptions for me.
Google translate can only do so much, you know?

read.crx seems to do it though. It's kind of cool, so I'll just stick with that.

And, I guess I'm still here, so the server didn't decide I'm an evil spammer dude.
What a relief!

Former Sony president Norio Ohga dies aged 81
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/apr/24/former-sony-president-norio-ohga-dies

i cannot sleep

>>42
What's wtong with his death? Everybody dies. Lots of people die every day
but why the news of his death have to get lots of media coverage.

>>44
take it easy.did you read the news？
its interesting and impresｓive.he made a grate achevement in our liｆes.

>>45
He is a loser because he gave up becoming a muscian.
Why do you think he made a great achivement?

Those of you who live in Tokyo or other Eastern regions that are now conserving power:
Do you mind having less lighting? Or is it annoying?

I bet it's like the olden days, hundreds of years ago - when it gets dark, you
just go to bed, because there's nothing else to do when you can't see. Heh.

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

>>50
You stopped being 火花 at some point while I was gone. How come? That was a fine name.

>>51
it evolved into denkihirabana 電気火花 electric spark

which is what my name sparky4 means the 4th electric spark

>>47>>49
I don't live in a region affected by power shortage.
I read somewhere people in the affected region are trying to save energy
on their own way so the consumption of energy has reduced hence, no planned
rolling power outage. People there are what they can and I don't think
they're in a big trouble.

But they have to be more thrifty regarding power consumption in summer when AC
is used the most often. I think old people or people with poor health condition
die more than average year because of heat this year.

>>49
If that lifestyle becomes norm here, maybe birth rate will go up because all young couples can do
for entertainment is have sex at night. To think the current low birth rate here, it's good news.
I heard the same thing happen in U.S. or some other places. Ten months after the big power outage,
hospitals there were busy with handling new born babies.

>>53
Haha, yeah. I was thinking about that too.

>>53 >>54
The possibility of increased birth rate, I mean.

>>53
If you want to increase the birth rate, I think there are easier ways to do it.
Maybe Japanese people have become wary of the fact that children are very expensive and
are difficult to manage, as well as that it represents a very permanent bond with your
partner (so I think, although I am not Japanese). But that is the logical way to think of it,
and while it is good to be logical, Japanese people must think more logically: each child born
is a benefit for the future, and will be another productive member of society.
Plus, eventually that child will take care of you when you are old.

Anyway, I hear in Japan it is said that the human gestation period is 10 months. In the US
we say that it is 9 months. Scientifically, it is much closer to 9 months on average.
So why do Japanese people say 10 months?

>>55
www

>>56
If you look at the problem of aging population, the logical thinking is very
important and what you suggest is very true in wide perspective. But the fact is that nobody
gets married and have a baby, thiking about the future of a country.
Nobody thinks, "Yes, let's have more kids because Japan would suffer from graying society if we didn't have more kids."
People are basically selfish creatures nobody thinks about seriously about the future of their country.
Kids would get angry if they come to know that their mom give birth to them with obligation
that they have to take care of old parents. I know what you meant to say, though.

I've heard about the difference of 10 and 9 months, too.
Maybe it depends on form when you count pregnancy? I'm not sure because I was born in the form of an egg and kept in
Kotatsu until I came out cracking open its shell.

>>47
Speaking of power consumption, the persentage in your trip code and
the number of the gauge on top left of this page means what percent of consumption capacity
are currently used now. Just what I thought....

So people here use Chrome? Is it better than Firefox?

I was called a sexy girl by nanashian ....

へたくそな英語はもうやめれｗ

Coming all the way to this thread in English board among other ones in 2chan and
kindly suggest we should stop taliking in English?

Speaking of jerking off, how long does Japan plan to keep censoring its porn?
"Censored porn" is like an oxymoron as far as the rest of the world is concerned.

>>58
Just like Lady Gaga!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzIsxhKRBLY&t=15s
(You can ignore what the people are saying, by the way. It's just trash.)

>>64
Looks like you have a strange way of choosing threads then, eh?

>>67
I've noticed that too. It's definitely a bit strange. I wondered, though:
Are the Japanese actually stuck with that junk, or is it easy enough to access
foreign websites?

>>60
I use Chrome because it starts up quicker, and I think it performs a bit faster in general, too.
Plus, it uses less of my system resources than Firefox.

On the other hand, Firefox's extension system is much better and more powerful than Chrome's.
Adblock, for example, work much better in Firefox.
And there are many things that are possible in Firefox that simply can't be done in Chrome.
Therefore, I have both installed, but I only use Firefox for specific purposes.

>>68
Searching for 無修正 yields plenty of uncensored porn, so I guess they have access to it.
You can also download uncensored versions of some videos (the ones that were exported to
other countries) off Share and shit.
Too bad most of the good ones don't get exported.

>>70
I'd presume Japan can access generally all the same porn as other countries can.
But the issue is Japanese porn that is only released censored.
As you said though, if it is exported to somewhere like the US for example, it is generally
uncensored and then Japanese can download/buy the US version.

Hey this reminds me, I've been hearing a lot about Tokyo Bill 156 and its intent to start
filtering content on mobile phones and the internet and eventually to start removing sexually
explicit depictions of children entirely from anime and manga. However, to me this seems to
be one of the more defining characteristics of Japanese animated pornography or just ecchi-
the depiction of schoolchildren in provocative situations (alongside women with extremely
large breasts). The anime and manga industries have strongly opposed this bill. I oppose it
too, because I think censorship (especially of people who aren't real, or "nonexistent youths")
is silly.

The great thing about Japanese porn laws is that they censor genitalia because it's "obscene",
but they're completely fine with all the fucked up porn out there so long as it's censored.
You'd think someone would just walk into a Japanese court, show an uncensored porn video and
one of those videos based around shoving insects inside women (censored) side by side and
they'd pretty much have no choice but to change the laws. Then, we'd all be able to see
Hamasaki Rio suck a dick without half her face being a mosaic.

I wonder if Japanese people agree that their censorship laws make no sense.

>>68
気持ち悪いな、日本語で答えてくれよ。

wwww

>>73
あらし。英語で話していいな。
それに、英語で答えなきゃいけないよね

>>73 >>75
I don't know this kanji: 答
Can I get a little help? I understand everything else.

>>76
答える　こたえる・いらえる　to reply

>>76
In this case it's a part of a verb and the verb means s "respond" or "Answer."
答える is the original form of the verb and pronounced as "kotaeru."

>>75
The second line is perfect but I'm afraid I don't understand the first line's "hanashite iina" part.
Maybe be you meant You gotta speak/post in English.

Maybe be he doesn't know you guys are native English speakers.
This is a thread to practice writing in English but for some reason I can imagine,
he doesn't like it.

>>77
Iraeru? I'm Japanese and never heard that it can be read that way.

>>29
Thanks, jook.

>>78
Thanks, that makes sense then.

>>80
No problem. You can also use it for things that are just bad or don't make sense.
For example, "Gizmodo's new website layout is retarded."

>>78
Well, >>75 made sense to me. It's close to how I would have translated it.
What if he wrote, "英語で話してもいいね"
Does that one work?
Maybe that changes the meaning a bit. I think mine would come out more like, "It's fine if you speak english,"
although what we'd rather say is, "It's better if you speak English," or even "You should speak English here."

>>82
"英語で話してもいいね" is perfect grammaticaly but for the reason you said
in the last and the second last line in 82, it's a bit off the context.

Also, after reading 82, I understand what nanashi meant to say.

>>82 >>78
Yea I meant something like "It's fine to speak English".
More formally, 英語を話してもいいです。
Can you not remove the も in that case?

>>85
Ｘ　英語を
Ｏ　英語で
but I guess 英語を might work too.

>>85-86
>Can you not remove the も in that case?
Yes.
>but I guess 英語を might work too.
Yes.

This thread's sole purpose is to chat in English so while both are correct, the ways you say
is a bit out of context. I don't know if I use "out of context" properly, though.
I mean, "have to" speak English here.

>>87
No, I did literally mean 「英語で話してもいい」。 That's because >>73-san was saying not to
talk in English, and I replied,
"You troll. It's fine to talk in English.
In fact, we ought to speak in English."

>>69
i agree. Chrome's extension is poorer than Firefox's including Adblock and firebug.

>>88
Now I think I understand.

>>88
I think the difference may come from the difference between our standpoints.
In your standpoint as an English speaker, you "may" speak in English, which is your native tongue, in this thread
when in fact 2chan is Japanese forums and almost all posts have to be posted in Japanese.

In my standpoint as an English learner, there's a sense of mandatory, compulsary when I post here
in English. Actually posting in Japanese is a lot easier. So for me I "have to" speak in English in this thread
reflect my standpoint well and suits better.

That's what crossed my mind.

お前ら、朝鮮人相手に楽しいか？

ここの読者は日本語がわからない外人が多いってこと、知ってるのかしら、64は。

>>88
What you should have used is the でしょう form. (i.e. 英語で話してもいいでしょう)
And むしろ instead of それに

>>92
中國 is traditional Chinese for "China".
>>94
I see. Thanks.

>>91
That's a really good explanation for the different points of view, actually.

>>96
Thanks for your feedback. It wasn't easy to express my thought in English
there but It was worth trying it thanks to your compliment!

Your English is impressively good. Out of curiosity, how much English education have you had?

Nanashi man you are so direct sometimes! Maybe it is the American way.
In the UK they (the native speakers ) "skirt around the issue" or "beat about the bush".
Igirisujin-san where are you???

>>72 Are art films also censored in Japan? How about films on anatomy?
or sculptures when shown on TV?

>>58...born in the form of an egg and kept in
Kotatsu until I came out cracking open its shell.

It's good to know there are genuine reptilians amongst us.

>>39 Thanks Umechi-san for your well wishes. I was working most of the time
but had time for exercise and walks as well. Tomorrow is a public holiday,
we are marrying off da prince.

That is tomorrow for you in Japan btw, not yet for us.

Pastime with good company
I love, and shall until I die.
Grudge who lust but none deny,
So God be pleas'd thus live will I.
For my pastance,
hunt, sing, and dance,
my heart is set
All goodly sport,
for my comfort,
who shall me let?

Youth must have some dalliance,
of good or ill some pastance.
Company methinks then best,
all thoughts and fancies to digest.
For idleness,
is chief mistress
of vices all
Then who can say
but mirth and play
is best of all.

Company with honesty,
Is virtue, vices to flee.
Company is good and ill,
but every man hath his free will.
The best ensue,
the worst eschew,
my mind shall be
Virtue to use,
vice to refuse,
thus shall I use me.

Good morning for all!!

…and nobody hasn't come?

oh, and please don't laugh at my english.

>>115
It's 10pm right now in Las Vegas. How are you?
Don't worry. Nobody will laugh at you here. Everyone has a different skill level.
At least you're not >>64

Native speakers probably don't laugh at my English if they know I am non-native.
But among Japanese who learn Englsih, there has been a certain atmosphere that If someone speaks awkward English,
some of them laught at him.
Even in this thread, I sometimes see such a person turn up and criticize others.

Having some sweeet drinks at Starbucks.
I like it here<3 The clerks here are good people

>>117
Screw them. There is nothing to gain by paying attention to negative people.
I will tell you something interesting that I have noticed as a native speaker, though.
Whenever someone posting on an English site apologizes and says it isn't their first language,
those people tend to be very good. You might be amazed at the crap some native people write.

とにかく、お前の英語のほうが私の日本語より上手と思う。

>>116
your word makes me comfotable, thank you!
i feel a bit sorry for >>64 called a not good example because of me.

i thought everyone here is japanese.
i thought 2ch. is such a small world...
how exciting!

"sorrry oh sorry for my bad english oh please, don't laugh." "theres this atmosphere blabla"
Shut the fuck up chimps.

Some gaijin youtuber guy was telling people to just make as many embarrassing
mistakes as you want, because that way you will remmeber the mistakes and
learn the language fast. Or something like that. I agree with him.

wow
i would learn inpolite english, too.
you're talking here just like as with yourfriends?

i just laugh at myself.
why i made that question?
forget it!

There are a couple of us foreigners that found this thread and decided to participate.
Sparky is from Louisiana, for example. That's in the southern US, on the Gulf of Mexico.
I think most of the others with names are also foreign. But I don't know specifically.

>>123
Of course! I think it helps you. After all, even I realize that nobody says
"今日は。私の名前はジュークッです。どうぞよろしくお願いします" all the time. It's the same thing.
You want to learn to speak like a native, right? So there's no need to always be so polite.
At least, that's what I think.

>>126
wtf

>>131
When I was in Japan, that 500 yen lunch was ramen, most days. And you get 100yen back.
You can't beat that deal. I miss hakata.

If you use fairly polite English even if it's bad you'll be fine. Rarely is someone's English so bad that
we can't understand it. Only then is it a problem.
But if you try using offensive English and you're not totally fluent, you sound like an idiot. (ahem >>121)
Your English is fine though.

>>138
>if you try using offensive English and you're not totally fluent, you sound like an idiot. (ahem >>121)

Yeah, absolutely.
Often it ends up being more cute than insulting.

>>135
Speaking of Hakata, I remember a foreigner who told me that he had studied abroad in Hakata before.
If my memory serves me correctly, I talked with him in a thread titled " 日記スレ”
He talked about his host family and taught me some Hakata dialects.
Are you the same person as him?

>>140
No, that wasn't me. I have only been around two threads: This one, and another that was
called something like, "Native speakers, come and help us!" where people could ask questions
about English. I don't think that thread is still continuing though.

>>136
wow, is that your own car? Very cool ne

And Is it true that you're from Louisiana, スパーキー?! Ｉcan't belive that cause you sometimes posts in native-sounding Japanese :o

>>142
I must be a misplaced Japanese then wwww

>>142
Yes I am a Louisianian but I am so forgien to the entire country w

>>142
Yup, that's mine. a '98 Mustang GT.
Before that, I drove a red Silvia S13 convertible.

It's spring and namefags are flocking to this thread.

>>126
Do you watch anime, or was it just random?

>>146
Like cherry blossoms

And now something from the Manyoushuu to bring a bit of culture to this thread:

春の野に霞みたなびきうら悲しこの夕影に鶯鳴くも
我が屋戸のいささ群竹吹く風の音のかそけきこの夕かも

>>148
Do you study waka in your Japanese class?
That anceint stuff is difficult to understand even for the Japanese.

>>146
I'm just returning. It's been a while.

>>144
You mean you moved to Louisiana from sowhere else,スパーキー?
I might go to study in the South next year. Still thinking.

ah, you're saying you're not american-like maybe ?:D

Stop with the gay emoticons.

Tonight there will be a live broadcast of the royal wedding.
Watch it and learn the culture of England.

>>137 you are fine.
i know you work heard.
>>? ah, waka...i love it.
the words in a waka describing nature are so dynamic.

hakata no sio ha cool na kuruma ne?

>>149
psh no. That stuff's way too advanced for us. But with a dictionary I can understand most of it.
The grammar is strange though.

>>155
what does that mean? "Hakata's salt is a cool car"?

Oh speaking of weird grammar, in the sentence 俺の姉貴が嫁で妹で, does that mean that one
sister is married to the other sister?

>>156 i understood it by reading this thread, i'm worried it isn't true?

HA☆KA☆TA☆NO☆SHIO！

YES, HAKATA NO SIO.

wow

>>156
No, it means that his older sister is his wife and his younger sister all at the same time.
There is only one sister there.

>>161
Huh, I've never seen that type of grammar before.

comes to watching, i have to see the figure skate competition tonight.
i'm a fun of asada mao.
i'm crossing my finger even now.

hi thread
I have no logs have been written on this thread so I can not understand current topics.
Could you please show me the brief by three rows?

>>163
Thanks. Yes it is a 1998 Ford Mustang. Those are the Sierra Nevada mountains. The picture
was taken in northern Las Vegas, facing west. California is on the other side of
the mountains.
The Appalachian mountains are in the east.
It's a bit hard to read, but you can see a map of mountain ranges in the US here: http://www.mapsofworld.com/usa/usa-maps/united-states-mountain-ranges-map.jpg

>>165
The last couple things we've been talking about are Hakata salt (What does that even mean?), my car,
ancient poetry, and the true origin of Sparky.

Anyone watching the wedding? Need help clearing the mobs fast. Don't aggro Mograine yet.

i'm not interested in uk queen's family
though i enjoy drinking milk tea.
but i like chai better.

>>151
No i was born an raised in Louisiana

The south is very very very very dangrous

YES

I think I should have said the culture of the United Kingdom, not England.
But some website I found by googling says that 64 percent of Scottish people
would rather watch paint dry. I like them.

Life is...

too short and precious...

to waste in any way.

yes, I read the same kind of thing on the Net and got a bit worried. That's one of the reasons I can't make up my mind yeeet. Do you think Arkansas is also dangerous??

Hi all, what's up? this's nothing much.

come to think of it, there's nothing a sea shepherd topics in
this board recently, innit?
please someone update this comment to other Aussie board.

sea shepherd member, don't eat a meat every yr supper forever.
a cow is really sorry coz they're killed by human's meal !!
thus don't kill a cow and never eat a meat anymore especially
sea shepherd members !! now, i wonder why they eat a meat,
please tell me why?

<continue 176>

i think, they're really bad members crowd. their comments haven't
got an unfounded anything coz there're lots of whale currently by
national investigation report. but they always only demand that
japanese fishing boats don't get a whale.

Animals should have to eat other animals this is normal an
ecological system in this planet of earth. even if they request
ban eating other life, they want to exterminate humans from
the earth. this is really unbelievable and crazy request for us.
it looks like somewhere occult religion group !!
japanese people eating whales action is really nomal action
as well as we eat a meal of cow !!

what do u think about this?

>>166
Oh, that's Musutang. Cool.

And thanks for the link. Yeah, Sierra Nevada. I think I learned the name of
the montains long tims ago in junior high geometry class.

Forget sea schepard, they are owacon now.
I just heard that the dirty miserable Koreans bribed the skate judges again,
and Kimchona's failed jump got a ridiculously high score.
I hope the dirty shit drinking race will keep doing dirty tricks because once
the world becomes aware of how low Koreans are, they will pay dearly for that.

オワコンってなんなん？シェパードも全然綴りちゃうやろ
おっさんしねや

>>155

＞ >>137 you are fine.
＞ i know you work heard.


何がheardだよ キメェんだよ

So, i dislike Koreans too.
and these informations are able to expect already.
As u know, their gathering a gift of money for japan's
massive earthquake hasn't contributed to disaster places at last.
they suddenly stop to contribute because japanese gavernment
has acknowledged to express on a school text book
a problem of Takeshima. but i know, this is a usual strained
interpretation by them. Takeshima problem and disaster are
different occurrence but they seems to be same. they're really
crazy nationalism.

あ、そうだ

Yesterday, I was watching the live of UK Prince William and Kate Middleton's
royal wedding on BBC News website and after You Tube.
Ah, it was so magnificent wedding. The noise of cheering to the new couple
was so loud. I guess all English people came to there. I'm wondering if any-
body lives in UK and comes here came to there yesterday...

However, I felt bad a little bit when BBC News reported the news about tornado
attckes in US after the live. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13235808
While UK is in happy mood, US is in unhappy mood. Oh..., how pitiful America is...

Anyway, I hope the Prince and the new Princess's love is everlasting.

Now, I'm gonna introduce some Japanese wedding songs for all foreign
2channelers here.

1. Can you celebrate?/Namie Amuro(Incidentally, she broke down with
Japanese music group TRF's dancer and husband, SAM some long ago.
So, I guess the song is no longer used in some wedding ceremonies in
Japan...)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrSQDDR4wYY
2. Towa ni tomoni(Be together forever)/Kobukuro(two of both aren't still
married. But, certain comedian sang this song on his wedding ceremony
broke down with his wife(famous and popular actoress) for about 2years...),
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9_WXgEkjns
3.Kekkon shiyouyo(Be a couple)/Takuro Yoshida(He also broke down with
his wife(signer but poor at singing...)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StBPqA1TGpA

I wanna introuduce more. But, I can't remember now. Because, so many songs.

Umechi-san I worked a 10 hr shift from home and did not even look at the news!
It was worth it, solved a problem that was holding me up for the last
few weeks.
I watched Cartoon Kat-tun in my break time. I guess I am not
good at keeping up with the royal family news.
Are you trying to imply that some wedding songs cause couples
to separate? Thanks for the links!

I am thinking of inviting Akanishi Jin to talk about his
English learning experiences here. I don't know whether he would do
it or not. He replied to one fan only once to thank her.
I know he is working hard in Budapest filming 47 Ronin.
Maybe in the evening he would be bored and drop by here.

>>194
In case you didn't know, "pitiful" usually has an derogatory
connotation. It's basically synonymous with "pathetic", it implies
looking down on someone/something or contempt.

Your usage is technically correct, but it is uncommon and kind of old-fashioned.
I've seen you use it this way a few times, and it stuck out to me as strange.
It's hard to think of a different word, though, maybe "unfortunate"? "woeful"?

Looking through the thesaurus I realize that English has a ton of words
that mean "deserving of pity/compassion" that also usually mean "deserving of contempt".
Weird.

Yeah, Japanese dictionaries must list "pitiful" as a definition for 可哀そう,
because I see that mistake a lot. It really means something more along the
lines of 情けない.
It's weird how hard it is to express that in English. You kind of have to
rephrase the entire sentence to make it sound natural.
「Poor〜」「It must be hard on〜」

In an america dram, a girl gets mad at a man cheating on her and making excuses, and screams"You Pathetic!" I think that was LOST.

>>173
yes

>>188
wwwwwwwwwww

I'm glad KG2ch is alive after the wedding. I think maybe Igirisujin-san got trampled.

Too bad about the tornadoes. Most of my family lives down there, and the town they live
in was hit but they're okay so far.

>>188
They are Koreans.

Igirisujin is Korean too. He's a Korean-Russian agent living in Britain
but we should not talk about that.

>>195
Are you sure they broke down and not up?

203 Good to hear that your family is okay. I feel sorry for all the victims of たつまき.
I think earthquakes rarely happen in the area but torunados. We're helpless against unexpected natural disasters : /

my おちんちん サイズ is 14cm！

ｽﾊﾟｰｷｰsan, are you alright today in south?

The only Korean I know is kimchi, anyangsayo and BOA.
I don't even ike Korean Dorama.

>>196
No, I don't mean that. I remembered only these songs.
It's true.

>>198
Ah...., I didn't know it. And I didn't know the word "woeful" until
you said. I must remember the word not to make same.

>>205
Oh my god... I've made a shameful mess... I should have written
"broke up"....

>>208
I LOST MY DATA

Does anyone know what has become of イギリス人?

I tried to locate him in the wedding ceremony footage but failed, orz.

He is on twitter sometimes.

>>211 oh. the south.

>>212
His access to 2chan has been blocked.
Probably he's been reading posts but he can't post a message on his own.

>>213
You're kidding.

I can imagine she handcuffs him while doing it.

Retardy of course

>>227 It means you.

>>215
Same as me, for a long time. But the ISP I have here since I moved is
apparently not on the ban list. I just got lucky. Let's hope the other missing
people will too.

>>224

>>211 Oh no! Data loss is a total nightmare.

>>231
it is

Hi everyone. What's up?

Well Igirisujin san is OK, it is indeed his ISP problem,
He can read but cannot post. It happened to me a few times.
I guess you guys can go on to chatango and chat to him there.
Or follow him on twitter. I do.

>>230 haha...

no. i'm afraid idon't understand it.
you're the one from the future?

would anyone give me an english lecture?

>>234
Do you know his Twitter account?
If so, how did you get to know it?

Does Japanese have a word for 'inconvenient?"
Or is the negative form of 便利 the best I can do?

It came up in conversation earlier today, and I got a little stuck.
I worried that how I ended up saying it probably wasn't the best.
On the other hand, the person I was talking to is probably only as good at Japanese
as I am, so maybe he didn't even notice.

>>236 He followed me immediately after I joined.
If you look up my account you will see it dislayed
under the "followers " category. I have only two.

237
we use the word 不便,which is pronounced as huben. Of course you can say 便利じゃない.

>>237
Propbably 不便(ふべん）is the word you're looking for.
不　works almost the same way as in- as in incovenient, ir- as in irregular, im-
as in impossible. I said "almost" because we don't say 不便利, somehow we
just say 不便.　That's probably the difference between in-, ir-, im- and 不.
I mean, in case of in-, im-, ir-, if you delete in, im, ir, the rest still serves as
a one word having the opposite meaings respectively.

Yes, to be more presice as you may notice, 便 can serve as one word, too but 便（べん）　alone can't mean
便利. When you see 便（べん）alone, it means stool. It's the medical term of poo.
便　 can also be read like びん.　in that case, it means "flight" as in
Next flight to Tokyo. The way you read 便　change it's meaning. Complex, it is.

>>238
Oh, thanks I checked. His account description made me laugh. He should have
used Noriaki, Cool Tak or Candle Jun for his image photo but no, probably Suquid is better
Squid would never claim for copyright or anything. The icon of the squid is kind of cute.

KG2ch, never know you love Akanishi, too. I thought the Turtle is the only
one you love. How did you make the icon? Do you make it by photoshop or
something? I don't know much about this kind of thing so maybe I'm asking a
stupid question.

>>241 He should have put a cute Hirouse for his image photo.
Do you think Johnny Kitegawa's gang would take me to prison
for having that sexy Kame background?
I follow Jin because his twitter is Official. There was a
Turtle twitter running until recently. It had more than
30,000 followers including Japanese fans. I used to think
it was fake.
One day Jin's fans played a joke and posted a clip saying
" I love Kamenashi Kazuya" as if it was his own tweet.
The Kame twitter account disappeared instantly.
I would of course follow Kame, if only he had an offical account!
I made my icon in power point, then took a screen shot
and cut aroud its edges in Paint. I can make one for you too if
join twitter!

>>237
"Inconvenient" has several meanings, so it depends on the context.

I'm an MD. It is a holiday, nevertheless, I attended my patient who had been dying for two
weeks. He passed away in about the noon. I'll get about ten sousand yen as the reimbersement
from the public medical insurance. I think it is unfair.

now ive just watched an exraordinary child on TED talk! The girl, who is olny 12, stated her own opinion in as sofisticated way as capable and experienced CEO does!
Im just stuned to see how self-confindent she was. She must be a prodigy I guess. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

http://www.ted.com/talks/adora_svitak.html

>>242
Thanks for the detail info about how to make the icon.
Sounds like it took a lot of steps to complete it.
Thanks for you offer but I'm not thinking about starting Twitter, although I keep updated with
some people's tweets, who are not in show business.

Jin Akanishi writes pretty good English.

hey guys, lets drill noseshit

fuckin sticky noseshit man, i hate this

oh fuck, i drilled too deep my nose is demn ass fucked

I got fired!
So I have been studied English these days.
I know my English is poor, but I want to write here.
I passed Eiken test 2nd grade.

that's good for you
hang in there

Thank you very much!

>>239
Oh, that's probably it. I did end up just saying 便利じゃない

>>240
Thanks for the explanation. It's so tough keeping track of all the different meanings
for kanji. That's the worst part of learning Japanese, for me. Fucking kanji, man.

>>243
I was tempted to just say something ridiculous as an example, like, "It would be inconvenient to cut off my foot,"
or "I was going to sleep with Cheryl Cole yesterday, but there was traffic so it was too inconvenient."
But in the end, that sort of thing doesn't do anyone any good, so here's the actual conversation:

At the time, I responded to my friend's text message with, "hai! wakarimasu!" just because
I thought it would be funny. Then he asked me, "iidesu. Watashitachiwa nihongode tekusuto shimasuka?"
And I told him, "Tanoshii kedo benri ja nai to omou. Suki ni shiro."
My phone won't allow me to send text messages with Japanese characters, and his probably
wouldn't be ably to read them. So it's romaji.


It's interesting how, when I was first learning Japanese, I always wanted romaji, but now that
I'm used to kana and kanji, it actually seems harder to read romaji. Has anyone else noticed
an effect like that?

hi

>>254
Hello.

>>253
>Has anyone else noticed an effect like that?

I'm Japanese but I think I know how you feel.
There's another step waiting for you. When you begin to recognize
much more Kanji, I bet it will seem harder to read writing consists of only katakana
and Hiragana.

KG2ch,
Thanx very much about Igirisujin-san's twitter info.
Hope his ban will be removed soon.

I feel like eating delicious calamari for lunch.

bin radin was died ? is it really?

>>258
That's what they're saying.

Sometimes my big boobs bother me.

>>258
It might be true coz all U.S. news broadcasts these information right now !!
i guess, it completes 911 incident at last !!

>>260
I don't mind holding them up for you with my hands if they are too heavy.

The news outlets are saying Osama has been killed. No evidence released so far, but it's probably too soon.

>>261
You wanted him being caught alive?
I think, it was better to catch him alive.

http://tvde.web.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/jlab-dat/s/819446.jpg

>>264
I dunno. If he had been captured alive, we could have made a bigger show of it,
like with Hussein. Parade him around a bit, throw him on a trial (just for show, of course)
and then kill him. Americans love a spectacle.

>>262 That's nice of you ! How much per min? It would be tough work,so I'm gonna pay for it !

>>257
Incidentally, he gave me a memorial picture for celebration to my 10000 tweeeting.
Below is it.

And I've been using it as my avator on my twitter.

Anyway, today I had to do a presentation to all classmates
and class professor in class in my university.
My presentaion including a video I found on and downloaded
from You Tube.
But, the school laptop I used for my presentaion didn't work.
Oh my God... Then I did that without letting all classmates and
professor watch the video. It couldn't be helped...

>>266
He's just a symbol of Islamic radicals. Lots of other Islamic militants with similar
hatred agains US are around the world, I believe. He has already seeded his ideas to his fellow desciples so
his death doesn't necessarily mean safer America.
What's worse, American people has to expect retalitation.

>>268
Igirisu-jin draws very nice picture.
It's modeled after Yusaku Matsuda, your favorate actor.

Hi,everyone.

>>268
yeah, I saw that on his twitter.
It's very nice, and I also liked his photo of a double-arch rainbow,
but the sandwitch.....I doubt it.

>>253
I think "inconvenient" is one of those words that are tricky to translate to Japanese.
It is generally translated as 不便 or 不都合, and in this case it should be 不便 I think.
(不便 and 便利じゃない are not always interchangeable, and in this case, the latter
would be totally unnatural and fairly incorrect)
So your sentense should be "Tanoshii kedo fuben da to omou."
However, personally I think it's a bit strange. Could be just me though.
I think 面倒 would be a more appropriate translation, but I'm not sure.

its hot like summer. what will we do in summer? need electrosity

In a summer season, some typhoons go through along this peninsula.
This year, as the place around the reactors is quite contaminated with radioactive
materials, it is feared that they will fly in typhoons over to other places northeast of Fukushima.
Surely, we might have to spend days without an air conditioner, which must be hard.
But, what is harder for us is the tragedy of having further contamination of the place we
live by typhoons.

yellow sands from china are more dangerous.

Though you write so in 278, the season when yellow sands flies from China continues in
only a short term. On the other hand, as for the reactors, there will be some possibility
of their having been exploded over more than a generation. This country was took over by Tepco.

>>277
wait, which penninsula are you talking about? are you korean?

sand from china is mixed with the radioactive particle
'cos it is said that they often practice an a-bomb without any notice.

>>257
>Hope his ban will be removed soon.
Is Hiroyuki still an admin of 2ch? He is coming to an event in my city in July.
Maybe I can bribe him to unban Igirisujin with some snacks.

My ISP is banned too, and I don't forsee either of us being unbanned.
I can only post here from my workplace. I just have to remember not to click any
of the links here...

that is so unfortunate. But you gave them your summary, so I am sure
they got the message despite the technical hiccup. Well done.

I was able to show the slides. But wan't able to show only the video.

I'm surprised at the news Bin Ladin is died by US force. I forgot him...

is there somebody who are uni-students here?
i studied abroad for 10 months with going to a language school, however,
I just feel incapable of the English improvement of the others who did not go abroad in the class.
clearly, this's because they don't speak out their oppinion in the class as much as we do.
and i feel uncomfortable under this environment...
what do you think of our education system regard to the English class??

jook's computer's no different than Sparky's.
I wonder if he's using Windows ME.

Is he really dead? No more video letters from him?

I wouldn't be surprised if he was back. Who took his DNA beforehand? Who can prove that?

>>287
Oh, thank you for letting me know the song's title.

>>292
I'm an uni-student. In almost English classes of my university,
almost class professors is native speakers. And they always
tell us to speak out our opinion in the class as possible as we
can.

>>298
Mine is a little better.
Windows 7 Ultimate, better graphics, more memory, and much bigger monitor.

Osama is a farce. Nobody knows if he was even alive.

>>292
Here! I'm in college, studying English Lit. My classmates are all motivated to learn. A teacher is in charge of class with less than 20 students, so teachers can take care of each of us.
This is probably because our school puts a lot of emphasis on English education. but I don't know well about English classes for non English major.
By the way, Which country did you study in??

>>304
is your teacher japanese?

The other day, I watched a TV program where they visited Japanese gyudon restaurants
in foreign countries. They visited some asian countries, and maybe Australia, and America.
All restaurants besides the one in America were very normal. They showd us some little
differences, like some country using hard rice, and some veggie toppings, and Taiwanese
people using a chinese spoon to eat soupy gyudon, etc. All in all they were very normal.

But America? First off the people were indeed visibly obese, compared to the other countries.
Then there was a woman eating gyudon and a fruit cake pie. That is just wrong. And a man
eating gyudon with an absurd amount of beni shoga completely covering the surface of gyudon.
I must say there is something wrong with America.

>>305
There are both Japanese and native English speaking teachers. I'm taking 3 classes of native speakers this semester and two of them are required

Sparky’s computer

I don't know if Microsoft still supports Windows ME.
If MS doesn't any longer, why does he keep using it?

American food is terribly fattening. We have an embarassingly bad
national diet. But at least our food tastes better than England's.

What do you guys think about native English teachers who can also
speak Japanese and those who can't? Which do you think is better?
I hear that some teacher recruitment companies like JET prefer having
teachers who can't speak Japanese.

Woo! Finally back. Got busy with University work and haven't
been around since the first few days of the Sendai quake. I
see everyone's still here and sparky's computer is as bad as
always!

>>310
Regardless, whether the person is an English teacher or is engaged in
other jobs, I think they should at least try to learn the language
of the country where are they are working.
Imagine, a Japanese person comes to the US as a Japanese language teacher,
and how would you feel if he/she doesn't try to learn English at all?
Exactly the same goes for native English speakers.
If they come to Japan, and if they just try to get away only with
English, just because it is the "global language (?)", they will not
give a good expression to the Japanese.

The Canadian band Monkey Majik is doing great, beside making
good music, they speak fluent Japanese and they lent helping
hands to the people hit with the quake and tsunami.

>>312
I agree. I live in Florida, and we have a lot of
Puerto-Rican and Cuban immigrants here. A small number
of them insist that we provide texts in Spanish and be
able to speak Spanish as well! It's ridiculous, this
is an English speaking country and they are by far
the minority!

＞＞３１０
I'm Japanese, and I see your point.
but as an English learner, I prefer a teacher who can't speak Japanese.
Once I know his Japanese is very fluent , at least better than my English, I'd start to hesitate to speak English. And most of my friends who's learning English have the same feeling about this...

>>314
> most of my friends who's learning English have the same feeling about this...

Really? Maybe I'm a minority.
I prefer native English teachers who can speak Japanese well. I feel I could trust her/his advice.

I've never attended English language school, though. I'm lacking money :(

I am back ^^

^^ This is how i see the 21st century

Why? hatsune miku is not human, android?

Sorry, this is the 21st century, already.
My comment was weird.

She sung about the future at that time.. The manga was futuristic at that time.
Ironically, the lyrics made the manga seem too old, including the fans...

Look at the rocky �W dolph lundgren-like face. ｗｗｗｗ

>>319
USA is in the 20th century

>>319
I don't know what you are talking about. Did you even read the manga?
The nuclear destruction took place in 199X.
Futuristic and post-apocalyptic are two different things.

What are you doing here, Retardy? I told you to go back to Panama.

>>323
NO U!

>>321
I see.
Nuclear war between American side and the Soviet Union Side
was more real thing and was waiting to happen in the near
future.
We belived we escaped the nuclear war right after the collapse of soviet
union.

Futuristic may have been the wrong word because it may
imply the technology and the improvement in the future. "about the future" may be
more apporopriate.

Dark future was popular and cool motiff in the 80s subculture. Hokutonoken
was futuristic in that sense and looks old today.
I guess Mr.Sparky's favorite, Craftwerk might be included in that
category.
What Computer technolgy brought was more vivid and bustling than what they
predicted it was ; static, unhuman, silent, cold-hearted, etc.

I guess classic image of computer world is like
we will be ruled by the computer and we became more and more
computer-like.
But we are still ranting and shouting, laughint, crying
through computer.

>>324
i like your おまえがな。馬鹿！
it's simple and effective.

>>314
I think I'd prefer to learn a language from someone else who has learned
the language as a second language (provided I can trust their fluency).
As a native English speaker, there are so many rules of English that I
never formally learned, I just picked them up through everyday use. I'd
have a hard time explaining them logically to someone else, and I wouldn't have
the personal experience to know what a Japanese English student is thinking
and the points where they'll get messed up.

>>313
I learned several threads ago that the U.S. doesn't have one official
language.
If my memory serves me right, English is spoken most widely, but
Spanish is also given some kind of 'official' status, at least in
California.
Sorry, if I'm totally wrong.

>>326
Ah, yeah, that's an interesting point. In the 80s everyone thought
the computer would remove our emotions, but nowadays some people probably
feel like the computer makes it easier to show emotion.
I played a silly English game that gives a more '10s view of the
impact of the computer on society:
ttp://www.scoutshonour.com/donttakeitpersonallybabeitjustaintyourstory/
It seems like it was made to insult me personally since I hate that
social networking shit.

>>328
That's true.
Actually, at first students here usually learn the basics of English from Japanese English teachers.They teach English in Japanese and explain how grammar works logically or common grammar mistakes we're likely to make.
It's a good way to teach English from scratch. But when the students get somewhat better at the language or when it comes to speaking, then they might have an unsatisfied feeling about non native speaker's classes :/

people say english food is bad, but why?
england has awesome medieval culture and history, with kings and queens and knights and
sirs and ladies and other noble people. with all that, their cuisine should have evolved to
an awesome level, one would think.

I believe he's a true gay. The king of the gays in this world.
He said he wore a pink skirt to school, I remember.

He's a gay leader. That's for sure.

The most awkward device ever made in Japan.
I hope this device urge people around the world to think Japan is Henatai country.
I bet Johnny's fan girls would by it to virtually kiss with their virtual

>>309
Microsoft doesn't support ME.
I think Sparky is just obsessed. Or masochistic (There's a great new word for
you Japanese folks to learn).

>>332
They don't have a history of having access to a wide variety of spices, so English
food is often a bit bland.

>>335
I'll see your kissing machine, and raise you a blowjob machine.

>>332
Why don't you check out on イギリス人-san's twitter account
"@aLargeSquid" and look at the photos of foods he has
uploaded?
You can easily tell how lucky we are to live in Japan, lol!

so all those noble english gentlemen in history were eating crappy bad food
behind the scnenes? even though they look so fantastic and manly with sideburns and beards.
thats sad.

I think it's just the matter of what they have considered as important in
life.
They must have placed huge importance on the housing, and it is even said
that the older the house the more valuable and expensive.
Then comes clothing, where they invented mini-skirts, punk fashion, etc.
The last is the food. I guess the British didn't even know good food
existed in the world until quite recently, poor thing.

>>336
I disagree with the lack of spices thing. England has had colonies in all
parts of the world, like Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and others, and
trade routes in many other places. But for some reason, England just never
could get used to the idea of good food.

Also, I think most Japanese know what a hard M is. Sparky must be a hard M.

>>331
I share your opinion. Learning from scratch from a non-native may be best.
But fluent English (or whatever language) I would much rather learn from
a native speaker.

>>337
What a machine. I hope that's just a joke.
Looks like a machine for dairy cow to produce milk...

>>343
I didn't think about that, but you're right.
It really does look like a milking machine.

I ate some foods in UK when I was a high school student. In my honest
opinion, almost these foods were tasteless... sorry, all UK 2channelers.
What I thought delicious is ONLY fish&chips... Except it, all English foods
are so fuckin' tasteless. But, I wonder if all English foods is improving
their quality of taste now. I hope all is so. I hope...

>>301,345
it's "most", not "almost"

>>301
I know the native speaker usually try to encourage us to join the class activity,
but my classmates are unlikely disscuss the answer but think it by themselves.
the point is, we are tend to leave the answer in a visible way such as writing but
I prefer the speaking because this is much faster!!
>>304
my major is also British&American Study so that English ability should be higher than the others...
I went to Auckland in New Zealand-- that's bad I won't be able to see the Rugby World Cup...
I should've visited there this year XO
Hou about you?

あ

With regard to English, what I want to learn most is grammatical things.
It is essential for me to be able to analyze sentence structures given on my own
so that I can grasp the correct meanings.
I am a native of Japanese but I don't know its grammatical rules at all.
I suppose most native English speakers are also in the same boat.
So I want to learn Englsih from not a native speaker but a person who has made an effort to master it.

>>346
Oh my God. I've made shmeful messes...

The dog-flavored pizza doesn't look good either, and
the minimulistic lunch is defenitely lacking marmalade and
milk tea!!!

what?

hey guys, lets burn pube

burn curly pube, burn demn ass !

oh fuck, i burned too much my dick is demn ass fucked

>>342. Yeah. I agree.
What I lack is that fluency according to my teacher

>>347 You went to NZ? Nice. But a bit rare hehe Did you study somewhere like a language school, or in college as an undergraduate?
I haven't studied abroad before, although I am thinking about going to the states next year.

>>356
what's rare about going to new zealand?

Going down there for learning English is rare, because
they don't speak English in NZ.

↑I mean, I think most people choose US,Canada,UK, or Australia for their study place. I have a classmate who went and studied in NZ though

Your friend must have liked sheep.

>>359
really? I think I hear about people going there for english rather often.
probably because it's closer to Japan.

i need to know ｽﾊﾟｰｷｰsan's numerical value.

>>330
Thanks for sharing my opinon.

Is Newzealand English as strange as Australian one?
Strangeness of Australian English seems to come
from working class English (from Prison).

Canadian English reputation come from settlers from the American
colony who kept allegiance to England, doesn't it?

i don't know

>>345 >>346 >>350
Actually, if you just changed to "most" it still wouldn't work.
It needs to be either "almost all" or "most of."
The first one implies a larger portion than the second. maybe 80-90% vs 60-70%.

"Still, Gaga isn't totally immune to the allure of Hollywood.
After winning multiple Grammys, wrestling with Madonna on Saturday
Night Live and appearing on countless magazine covers, the New York
native relocated to L.A. to become part of Hollywood's "It" scene."

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/lady-gaga-says-she-will-never-get-plastic-surgery-20110413

I have asked this question before but would you tell me what Hollywood's "It" scene is?
"It" here means sex?

Is there "God" who experieced earthquakes respectively in
Newzealand and in Japan?
If southern kanto is included in the experience, chances will be high.

It's obvious that people who experieced both the Great Hanshin earthquake and
the Great Eastern Japan earthquake exist. I don't name a specific person
though.

Do you native speakers know word "Greatグレート" is exclusively used for
something or someone magnificient in Japanese?
like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO394QMbFXU.
So "Great" Hanshin Earthquake sounds contradictive and impolite to me.
Ofcourse, it's me and Japanese interpret "great" wrong.

I don't use Windows Me and i ate very well yesterday

"Intellectual Giant" Benjamin Fulford is a descendant of
of an English elite family who oppsed the inedendence of America
behind the power of Freemason and emigrated to Canada.
I'm proud of having him as Japanese citizen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTcD43-f73A
He speaks very decent English, doesnt he?

He proclaims himself to be Jewish. He says that his maternal side
comes from jewish family. Technically he will be Jewish by jewish law.
True or not, his confession is apperently for avoiding
accusation by the Jews. His soul and attitudes are nothing near being jewish.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJPofg6Q8Fk&NR=1
By the way, why is he so freaked out?
I don't know why poisounous Katsudon is related to earthquake weapon.

I can tell he is not a average thinker, that is , genius and I am again
proud of having him in Japan.

I forgot to tell Benajamin's great-grandfather is
a drug magnate George Taylor Fulford.

Fulford's activities work as a rataliation to GE, GM and Rockefellar group.

>>369 you ate so many potatoes.

>>367
The "It Scene" is a stupid term that was probably used most in the 80s
or 90s to describe a culture or group of like-minded people that are
at the height of chicness/fashion/popularity/whatever. People used to
say "It" to signify that something is really cool. For example, you could
listen to "Take On Me" by A-Ha and exclaim "oh, this is IT" like it's
just the coolest song and no other song matters. Anyway, it's very
much slang, and it's pretty outdated slang at that.

You really like Lady Gaga, huh?

I want Lady Gaga to prove her real craziness instead of
publicity stunts.
Why not commit live suicide on stage?
I would admit her for the first time.

Never imagined there's such a context in the expression.
Thank you for your taking the time to explain it in detail.
"It" is an easy word but how in the world can Japanese English learners tall what it means
in this context. Chances are nill.
Yes to your question.
Thank you very much.

>>Omego
Probably you're right coz' my friends also asked me,'Why didn't you go to America or British but NZ?'.
obviously it is bias that New Zealander wouldn't speak proper English.
I'm not the native so that I never find out its small difference kind of dialect,
then it doesn't matter either where to go or which type of English you speak but what you want there.
it may be out of the date to call English as two types, namely American and British English.
the environment is a huge factor to boost your English skill and I'd like you to choose from that view for your success :D

This posting is copied from my tweeting on twitter.

My tweeting has just been over 10900. It's amazing... Since I started tweeting

So quickly...Um I guess I can go over 11000 by the end of this month,

Anyway, today is the last day of this golden week! Oh...And perfectly sunny day.
Ummm..., I have to do something...But, what should I do?
Reading some novels? Listening to music? Wacthing some videos on You Tube?
Taking a nap? Watching some so fuckIn' silly and nonsense TV programs? No!
Hanging around!No planed cycling may be good. Ummm... go to neighboring shopping mol...
Ah~, I don't know what to do~! Well, I'm gonna take a lunch! See you later!

Sparky is called Spargay for his gayness.
I believe he will set a record in a book named "gayness book".

>>379
Since you seem board, I highly recommend that you eat "beef tartar" for lunch.
It will make an extremely exciting lunch, lol

When was he aware he likes boys?

I remember he already answered!

>>378
Oh, I didn't say they don't speak English, it's a different person who said that

I also think it doesn't really matter where you study if you just want to learn English. As for me, I am interested in America, American culture(including pop culture) and history, the people, their life, their way of thinking and everything.
In short I like America, and that's why I want to study there : )

Sparky would like it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLf7-qw875s&feature=related

Master Spargay, how do you like to go out with many boys at once?

>>381
Haha. it may be exactly exciting lunch. But, instead of it,
I ate udon for lunch.

>>369
Since when? Why did you stop using Windows ME? I thought you liked it.
You realize that this was one of your defining characteristics, right?

>>387
Someone asked me what udon was like, once.
I had to think about it, but the answer was, "It's like eating delicious worms."
That seems like a strange thing to say, right? But it makes sense.
Udon is fat and slimy and chewy, but tasty.

i have to check ｽﾊﾟｰｷｰsan's gauge.
but i couldn't stay late at nigat.

Master Spargay likes spagaytti.

Master Spargay and his disciple KazuKata love each other.

I bet you anything Kazkata has been lurking. He's watching over Sparky.

For those not in the know, Sparky is a Panamanian gay boy who feels lonely and unloved
due to the lack of respect for gays in his society. He tries to draw attention to himself
for creating a new world for gays. He said he used Windows ME because his computer was outdated
and now claims he doesn't use it any more probably because he finally got a new computer.
He puts his long hair up in a bun. He wears a big smile on his face and show his Panamanian teeth.
He's considered the cutest gay America ever had.

SPARKY IS THE BEST! SPARKY IS THE BEST! SPARKY IS THE BEST!
SPARKY IS THE BEST! SPARKY IS THE BEST! SPARKY IS THE BEST!

Why do you always copy your twitter shit here? What's the point.

I'm just using English for fun so I will not go abroad to learn it,
but if I had to, I would choose Australia or New Zealand.
Similar time zone, and feel less foreign than North America or Britain.
They seem much more laid back and have cuddly animals too.
I like Britain but the people look scary, and the English spoken in the
streets is unintelligible.

>>396
Well, the reason I do that is I have no idea to write here.

After tweeting to some extent, I copy these because I think
it can be a post here.

That's gay!

Happy Birth Gay!!

Be proud of yourself, Master Sparky, for being a gay.
Everyone supports you.

Stop spamming.

I'll do Sparking.

>>398
Why do you feel the need to post here when you have nothing to write?

Leave him alone. He has a gay mind.

We should keep in mind all of us have something Sparky-ish. Not that I mean we are all gay, though.

Stop fooling around...

Continue Sparking...

What spec is Sparky's computer like?
What kind of software has he installed?
What computer programme is his favorite?
Does he play games on computer?
Does he draw on computer?
Does he have a youtube account?
Does he upload videos online?

Does he have a gay friend on the net?
How many boyfriends does he have?
Is he fat or slim?
How much does he eat a day?
Does he like his computer more than his food?
Does he think of playing online games such as Final Fantasy 14?

Have you seen a photo of Bin ladin's dead body if it exists?
Some people here are from 4chan so if it exists I bet they have seen it.

>>429
It's been decided that the two pictures that have gone around were both fake.
4chan wishes they had a real photo.

I made up a haiku. Tell me what you guys think.

First five syllables
then comes seven syllables
then it's five again.

It's beautiful, right?

What would Michael Sandal say about this?

According to my source, he was alive when he was found in his place, not shot to death.

>>431
Breathtaking!

>>429
There is one photo circulating around the net, but it was manipulated in an editing program. Word is the US government is debating on releasing photographs, but whether or not they even have any is debatable.

>>329
It is true that the US does not have an official language, but the
primary language is English. The majority of Florida speaks English
as well, so it's ridiculous to be told that we should speak Spanish
by an immigrant who doesn't want to learn English.

>>413
Oh come on, much of the south is perfectly easy to understand! It's

Maybe if you did it this way:

Yes, I realize the second line is a bit awkward. Tree-tachi? wtf?
It was the best I could think of to add two syllables.

>>441
I think 好い was the wrong word for the last line. I should have just gone with　いい.
Oh well.

Thanks for the info. So no photos of dead Bin Ladin then...
I heard he was thrown to the sea for his funeral, which is considered good
for Islams. American military must have tried as hard as they can to
show respect to Islams worldwide.

I bet they have some photos of him taken before them throwing him in the sea.

>>431
hehe That's a good hiku (rather せんりゅうsenryu）to tell haiku beginners what haiku is like.
Only problem is, as far as I remember, haiku has to includes a word that's shows
season. Without the season word, it's not called haiku anymore but called 川柳（せんりゅう　Don't ask how in the world can 川+
柳　be read せんりゅう. Yes, it's very irregular way of reading 川 as せん）

You may already know it, but if you are interested, you can check what senryu is in the Wikipedia entry
below.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senry%C5%AB

Sparky is a gay boy
We know he is a gay boy
He has been called Spargay

>>447
Oh really? I never knew about that season thing. They must not teach that part of haikus in the US.
All they tell us is that it has to be three lines with the right number of syllables.

In Japanese haiku, you could use six or eight syllables in the second line, and four or six syllables in the other two lines. I think "字余り(じあまり)" and "字足らず(じたらず)" are fine. You must try to avoid it, though.

>>447
河川(かせん) is another example. I agree it's unusual.

>>441
Some Japanese people use the word "木たち" or "石たち". For me, it sounds like "木" or "石" was a human.

Sparky love a cute boy
He can't help but fall in love
He is a gay boy

>>449
Including a season word is a must and that could be both difficult and enjoyable part for people who enjoy haiku.
Japan has distict four seasons and there are lots of words that you can associate with a particular
season. Choosing a season word which belongs to a particular season and including it in a hikue could be
a challenge and fun at the same time and that helped haiku become popular literature style in Japan, I think.
(Although young people don't make haiku at all though. It's a hobby for the elderly.)
So for people who live in a place where there's only one season, the fun for making haiku could be less than quarter.

Haiku is not only about 5-7-5 style. It's short but your imaginiation
spread infinately just by reading a short haiku. (again, young people has lost
such imagination, I guess.)

Adopting the strict rule for haiku can be hazard for developing haiku's popularity worldwide.
So you could enjoy senryu for starter, I guess.

>>450
Oh, yeah. 河川(かせん) is another example.

As an English native speaker who tries to learn some Japanese
from time to time, it's somewhat confusing that kanji can be read
in more than one way sometimes. In my head, when I see 「川」, I always
think 「かわ」. It's a habit I'll have to break when I learn more kanji.

>>447
You really need to start thinking on your own.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc-Wnu4IeP0

I translated >>439 like >>441! I'm a genius Japanese!

青い空と
新緑(しんりょく)を見て
僕は泣いた

The season word is 新緑. If I could, I wanted to use "木の緑を見て" in the second line.

>>454
Japanese elementary kids think the same as you, but at some point they
go over threshold. But I have to admit even some of Japanese adults are
confused about kanji so no wonder you feel that way.

>>455
An article in newspaper I read explained it shows honor to Islams but
seems like that's not right. Thanks for the video.

>>456
Heh? Isn't that 6-7-6? And the last one you give is 8.
あおいそらと(6)
しんりょくをみて(7)
or きのみどりをみて(8)
ぼくはないた(6)

Shouldn't it be 5-7-5?

I'll try one.
氷柱
屋根で垂れてる
寒くなる

>>458
Ah, that should be:
氷柱は
屋根で垂れてる
寒くなる

ひょうちゅうは
やねでたれてる
さむくなる

つらら見て
その鋭さに
冬を知る

English syllable is
Hard for me to understand
Like a singing bird

Did anyone watch Moshidora? I shed manly tears.

Moshidora is not worth to watch.

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

>>451
Yeah, that's why I said it probably seemed strange. They're definitely trees, and not people.

>>461
You got an extra syllable on the first line.
(eng)(lish) (syl)(la)(ble) (is) - six syllables.

Noriaki is da real (5)
Candle Jun is Igirisu-jin's hero (7)
So is COOL TAK, dude (5)

Candle Jun is ayashii osaan

>>453
Haikus are very well-known in North America. I was taught about them
in school, as were probably most students my age. We're taught about
ENGLISH haikus, though, which are a little awkward since syllables
are more arbitrary in English than Japanese. Haiku is well-known
but not taken very seriously. I'd say 95% of the time people use English
haiku to make a joke or say something silly.

I wonder if weirdo -san is on twitter.

>>458
Hey, you know the Japanese language well. 6-7-6 Japanese haiku poems are sometimes OK. But that one can be 5-7-5 (or at least 5-7-6).

青空と(5)
新緑を見て(7)
僕は泣く(5)

>>467
"osaan" sounds nice.

Do you guys know Noriaki retired from business, shocked by
the arrest of his buddy, Manabu Oshio?

I cannot find Perfume official on twitter either!

Dogku: Dog Haiku Poems
> Life is good until
> evil nail clippers appear.
> Quick! Under the bed!

> Life is great until
> bath preparation begins.
> Quick! Behind the chair!

> Life is fine until
> ear cleaning supplies show up.
> Quick! Run away fast!

>>468
I may love silly haikus. I just found a >>473's haiku poem book on Google Books. I love those three. They are like 川柳(Senryu).

Noriaki seems to have lost the meaning of being musician without Oshio Manabu of "Liv".
They were big rivals each other like Dragon and Tiger.
http://blog.livedoor.jp/noriakimusic/

Sparky is a gay boy (5)
That is surelly a well known fact (7)
We need to support him (5)

>>473
Those are good ones. Let's have more funny haikus! (or 川柳 at least)

eat tons of ramen
lets go out to drink tonight!
ramen comes back up.

(based on a true story)

>>470 it's not my work, but Luie.
he'd be happy to hear your trancelated one.

I love the spelling mistakes Japanese people make.
They seem so adorable.

>>478
Thanks :D

>>477
Lol That's terrible, I love it!

>>476
Actually, that one is 6-8-6. In English, a word is not a syllable.
One word may have multiple syllables. For instance, the word "ordinarily"
has four all on its own!

>>481
Oops, typed four when I meant five!

>>482
And I put 476 as my name when I meant to put 481!
Wow, I really need to sleep. Making so many mistakes
as I type!

>>479
you may only imagine young beautiful japanese.

Why not use a spell checker?
When I put words in this box, my spell checker always automatically checks the words.

They may have made a mistake on purpose.

you became strict suddenly...

Don't ignore Sparky. He's a lonely gay boy. We have to pay more attention to what he has to say.
He has a lot to say about his computer. He loves talking about his ME.

>>484 That is not true. Ordinary people are so cute
when they make mistakes or pronounce in a different way.
I also like it when they are observant of each other's
emotions/actions "he is so excited" "you became angry/strict suddenly".
This group harmony/inner feeling attracts me.

What about Sparky?
Does he attract you, doesn't he? He blushes when he meets a cute boy
and probably he can't look him in the face. That's cute, isn't it?

>>490 I have not seen him do that so I can't say.
But if he does, that is super cute.
Shy people are cute, regardless of their looks.

KG2ch has located her inner moe attraction.

>>492 Talking about emotions is a taboo in the UK.

>>465
>(eng)(lish) (syl)(la)(ble) (is) - six syllables.

Ah thanks. I think it was also grammatically incorrect.

>>468
Thanks for the input.
Do teachers tell students to include a season word in Haiku?

>>495
No. I was taught what a haiku was in 2nd grade, and we were told that
it was 5-7-5 syllables. That was also when we learned what syllables
were, so haikus were a good way to practice.

Although, syllables in English are quite hard to learn. In Japanese,
haikus use "morae" which are a lot easier, because each full-size
letter is one mora. But, a phrase like 何ですか has 5 morae and only
3 syllables- the morae are なんですか but the syllables are
nan-des-ka, so they are different.
です however, can be 1 or 2 syllables depending on how it's pronounced.

>>496
I see. Thanks. You're >>468, too?

>>497
I understand what you mean in your post. Sounds like English syllables are more
flexible and somtimes confusing even to English speakers. And wow, I learned a new word, mora and it's plural form, morae.

I am short-tempered and always irritated and shouting like Adolph Hitler.
Kg2 does like me, doesnt she?

>>498
No I'm not.

500th post?

>>499 I like watching angry people, if they are not taller than me.
I used to annoy him and say "you look so cute when you are angry".
Then he would totally go mad.
Then I would ask him to hug me. He would go silent instantly.

>>500
Congrats but that was supposed to my place. Would you sctoot over?
Or else, I'll force you assignment where you have to make 100 haiku.

>>501
Who's him? Your ex-boyfriend?

KG2 said Sparky was super cute when he was being shy.
She's say he is super gay when he's being with a guy.

>>489
oh, i found i have same feeling.
when i hear foreigners speaking japanese, i feel they are so cute.
that's why i really like ｽﾊﾟｰｷｰsan whose japanese is very lovely and cute, sometimes bit funny.
adorable...yeah, i agree with you.

>>501
You are a bit taller than me.
I would shut up in ruturn for hugging.

Poor イギリス人 wouldn't have the oppotunity because he is
taller than you!

And you know, Hitler is shorter than you too. lol
I am as tall as Hitler. I'm proud of it.
Can you take huggins from behind and front by me and Adolph?

By the way, have you ever taken a train in morning rush
hour in Tokyo?

>>502 He was someone shorter than me, who had a nervous disposition.

>>503 So what if he is. Let him be.

>>505 You are making spelling mistakes deliberately.

>>506 I don't like hugging dead people.

I never said I would hug you if you made spelling mistakes.
If you are NEET and lonely, if you cook, clean and care for me,
maybe I would hug you after we get used to each other.
I would want you to be a man about it and take full
responsibility for your actions.

>>504 I got the impression that Japanese people got irritated by
foreigners speaking Japanese.
Like scratching nails on a blackboard kind of irritation.

Ruturn was not delibrete. I realised it now.

If you are NEET and lonely, if you cook, clean and care for me,
maybe I would hug you after we get used to each other.
I would want you to be a man about it and take full
responsibility for your actions.

I would do them for free!!

>>510 That is so sweet of you. Alas, we have such a distance between us.
You live on the other side of the world.
Lets meet in our dreams.

I wont two merry yuu.

>>509
I knew a Chinese boy, who was a Japanese language learner and able to speak good Japanese. He was a smart person and could tell some jokes. It was fun to talk with him. I wonder if he had the same feeling as you did. Maybe I could have helped him more :(

>>512 weird, because of you.

>>509 really? i doubt it...there would be some other reasons.

>>500
Why did you remove the tripcode?

Bet he wants to be a commoner.

so hot in japan. last night i used an electronic blanket and now i am using an electric fan.

It's not that hot. Are you a fatass?
Wear a T-shirt and it 'll be OK.

are you a dickhead or living in hokkaido ? already i was t-shirt but still it's not enough.
you should go outside and move so you can feel the hot. you neet lack of physical activity and have a poor circulation.

>>511
But we are so close in spiritual wise.

>>520
Are you living outside?
I thought you were using an elecric fan inside a building.

>>522
why did you think i am living outside ? i cant understand. ┐(´д｀)┌

>>523
So, are you saying it's hot inside your house?

yes. but now it become chilly.

Because I have to use a remote server to post, and it's easier.
Here is my tripcode though.

Spargay would host a gay party if you guys wanted him to.

How gay he is!!

Do you think they will retaliate against America?

No, I think Igirisujin is too busy selling commemorative royal

i really love it. Keep being a fascinating gay.

He is the chosen one. He's natural. He was born gay.
We should respect Sparky for that.

http://hakosima.tripod.com/FreeDOS/ this is the OS I use on my 486DX

Hey guys!

Since I have an assignment, I would like to ask you guys how you think about the conscription?

There are only two countries, as far as I know, have conscription in the world, South Korea and North Korea.

Other countries are conscientious objection to conscription.

(con)
As you all know, Japan is a famous country that is not going to be involved into any war because
we have abidance to the Article 9th, in which all we need is protection as Jieitai, self defense force
is the only the military in Japan.

(con)
But I think it's a great idea to have conscription in Japan. Why? Because
there are many freeters and NEETs（young people who are able to work but neither
do work nor study or anything) according to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare,
about 4.17million ppl are not working but staying home and financially depend upon their parents.

Also you can see the young guys are becoming very feminine and fragile these days,
so if there is a conscription in Japan, after enlistment, those fragile young guys will
be well disciplined in a group life, and learn to make a life habit, such as early to bed
and early to rise, and will be physically trained and become manly.

(con)
Also they will get some benefit after discharge, such as free entrance of universities and etc.

Also I think necessary evil gives you more tension. If there are some kind of fear, such as South Korea
is on the verge of crisis of attack from North Korea, they always have to live with some tension.

(con)
I think that kind of tension gives life a despearte endeavor, which is good, I think.

How do you think?

Your ideas are so Stone Age and sexist. You cannot force
unmotivated people to do anything. You have to move their spirit.
You have to understand and listen to what makes them tick.
Some people have low blood pressure or are simply physically weak.
Make them contribute to society and reward them. Make them feel
they are part of Japan. Maybe your society needs to open up
categories of employment more suitable to men who like to
stay at home.
How about turn them into real fathers who can look after
and guide children?
Or creative, technical or artistic pursuits? Maybe they want to work
on a career that would give them fulfillment other than what
is already out there.
Btw you can send all your cute, androgynous guys to Europe, they are
adorable. I would look after them!

>>540
i'm not good at english, but on the sight english is easier to understand.
i didn't think it cute, i was just puzzled after reading japanese.
it seems however, to be interesting to me.i'm not pc geek, neither. but i would like to learn it. thank you!

stupendous!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooner or later we are all destined to die
Poor or rich, we are all human, no matter what
After death, we don't know where to go
Rumor says it's heaven or hell
Good or evil are we when we are alive
Assume we go to heaven
You should be good while we live

In the heaven we don't know what is waiting for us
Sooner or later we will see

Amusement parks can't be expected at least

Greenery scene is there to be seen
Arriving there would be unrealistic now
Yet the day will come

>>546 during bubble era people didn't think about society, though there were many problems.
now it's in the recession, people are looking for other ways to live.
you might be as well. my idea is about education. others have different idea.
if you listen to anybody else's idea, we could make good society together.
thank you for your reading inspite of my poor english.

>>540
Such a thing would never happen to me
Under any circumstances
Perhaps you are wrong
Each one of us is quite sure
Rushing in would be silly

Guiding me would make no sense
Abondoning you would be a better choice
You know that, don't you

>>547
We really don't want to decrease Japan's population even further.
If you sent all the grass-easter feminine Japanese men to Europe,
the proportion of females in cities would become huge.
Then it would be even harder to reproduce.

>>551
I forget who it was who said that the people who are best at English
are usually the ones who apologise for their bad English. You really
don't have to unless it's REALLY bad.

Opps there were some other nations that have conscription, such as Germany, Sweden,
Denmark, Finland, Norway, Swiss, Russia, Israel, Turk, Taiwan, Egypt, Malaysia, Singapore,
Poland, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thai. Even for women conscription in Israel and Malaysia.

>>547
Thanks for you reply. I understand . Actually my real thought was close to yours but you know, this was
my assignment, so I had to write pros and cons for the conscription. Thanks for your opinion!

I don't think there's much merit in the idea of using military service
as a tool to improve people's character, and I especially don't think
that should ever be a decision for a government to make over it's citizens.

Even if it was good for NEETs (which I don't think it would be), it would
be a waste of time and money for everyone else. People would take years off
their lives that they could otherwise spend working and creating real value. The
government would have to spend tons of money to support and train all those
people to perform military tasks that would be ultimately worthless unless
Japan goes to war. Even if the end result is 2 million NEETs magically transformed
into productive members of society, the economic impact would be worse than the gain.

The only real reason for mandatory military service would be to have a large
military - unless you can suggest a dire need for a larger military there is
no reason to even consider the minor secondary impacts. Your argument sounds like you want
to build a new house to fix a leaky faucet.

Spargay is a gay.

That's the main theme of this thread.

>>554 Does it mean " rare meat eaters are masculine"
I thought homo sapiens were omnivores.
Unless you have a diet/sex hierarchy in your mind, which relates
being feminine to a herbivorous diet, and masculine to a carnivorous
one,....
Or do they exclusively eat grass? Am I missing something...

>>547 You are welcome. I hope your research on conscription goes well.

>>565
so you are happy with my statement, aren't you?
possibly you want to be shiny. lol
am i correct?
regardless of what others say, i believe in you, 電気花火san.
good nature is accepted in any society, don't you think?
and good character too.
yes, that's my motto.

i am a strong believer in love as well.
strong love makes people move.

a good many of people would make the world a better place.

great, don't you think?
and many more will join us.
you will be pleased to know there are many people who are with us!

If Japan invaded some other countries now,
some people would make songs about peace and love like The Beatles,
but using Hatsune Miku.

If the creator of the song managed to keep his or her name secret during and after the war,
that virtual diva might be able to get some Nobel Peace Prize... Weird world...

I don't think joining the military is a good way to educate NEETs.
What they need most is friends they hit it off with, not enemies they battle with.
What they should hone is skills to socialize with people, not the ones to kill people.
Even though building up your physical strength may give you some confidence in you and therefore it makes you easier to socialize with people, that is what you can do elsewhere.

>>560
Some people want to make our military stronger. It should have some pros and cons.
The pros and cons of "conscription" can include those pros and cons too, perhaps.

I can't imagine that nerdy pale NEETs serve SDF in any way except as a human shield.

>>578 >>579
Oh Thanks for your comments!! I just passed by here and found
some replies were still going on, so I was so happy to read them.

>>579
Yeah, that's a good point that I've never thought about. Thanks!

hummm....I thought military is not just the place to train guys to be the
soldiers but also train guys healthy, let them learn discipline and
group life, how to corporate with people.

>>578
hummm....I thought military is not just the place to train guys to be the
soldiers but also train guys health, let them learn discipline and
group life, how to corporate with people. NEETs' lazy life is almost impossible to
reform by now - some of them are living in his room for several years and never

goes out...that is the terrible situation in Japan, therefore, they need very drastic change from outward
So this country's government
should use power and use leverage to get them out from their room and train.

every NEET are not lazy and doesnt have discipline and group life.
you have a something biased thought.
some NEETs have mental illness such as depression and i think sending such people to a militaly makes the situation worse.

Maybe some computer nerds are useful if they are trained.

Speaking of NEET, whenever I come across this word, I recall a phrase.
「働いたら負けかなと思っている」
With my English ability, it's hard for me to interpret what it means to English.
If literally translated, it might go as follows
" If I work, it means I become a loser"
I was shocked when I heard a NEET speak this phrase out for the first time.
It was something like a cultural shock.
Since then, I've had stereotypical images of them although I know that the reason why he became a NEET
varies from person to person.

>>585 Almost every NEET is a depressed person.
In a highly structured society they must feel immense pressure and they become more and m
ore insular. That may lead to a breakdown.
Your mental health is in danger guys.

spain was attacked M5.3 quake and death tolls were supposedly 5.
cause i am a japanese i think the building outside japan is too fragile to quake.
after 3.11 above M5.3 quakes were often happend in jpn but the damages were quite lower than the spain's.

death tolls are becoming more high..
http://i.imgur.com/TAixr.jpg

>>588
That phrase is so known to people that it has become a representative phrase for NEET to describe that they are such a slob, after it came out from the mouth of a NEET on a variety TV show.
Even though it gave a thundershock to viewers in a way, some are skeptical that the show was staged.

How do you write 所々 in hiragana, without spelling ところ twice?

>>593
ところどころ
Somehow a voiced sound mark is added to the second と.

>>594
Ah that's not what I meant though. Spell it in a way without writing
ところ or どころ more than once, because there is only one kanji 所
in 所々. Like how 遅々 can be written ちゝ.

What do you think about suicide of youngers?Please see below article.
http://www.cinematoday.jp/page/N0032239
Her name is Miyu Uehara. She is famous as a poor idle from a large family.
She had some experiences of her childhood in her homeisland, Tanegashima,
and told these on TV programs. These were seemed like lies but interesting.
So, I'm sorry at the news and think about suicide of youngers.

In this world, there are some people wanted to keep themselves alive but died
of some illness. So, I honestly want some young suiciders to think twice.
Indeed, daily life is hard to live. But, we must not escape from there. Because
life is training to go to heaven so to speak.

As the end, I introduce "Suicide is painless", the theme from MASH.

>>595
I bet it is "くの字点" like "〲" or "〱". They are very rare these days, and I though they were usually used for vertical text.

But it seems some people use it in horizontal text too. There are some examples on this page.
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/kuzan/20060401/1143903772 -> 2006-04-01.jpg

The people on Aozora Bunko use it in this way. I didn't know that these ／＼ and ／″＼ are くの字点.
・度々（たび／＼） ← たびたび
・なか／＼むづかしい ← なかなか難(むずか)しい
・徒然草（つれ／″＼ぐさ） ← つれづれぐさ

>>597 So what is the story with Miyu Uehara? Did she commit suicide?

You might be interested in this drama clip : 自殺者リサイクル法

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/mODJUTu7C6U/

Ikuta Toma (ahh my heart skips a beat) stars in it. It is about
recycling the life of those who attempt suicide.

>>599
what the hell is that?^^

>>597
Yeah, Miyu Uehara's suicide was shocking.

There are two elements in her case.

1)She was born in one of very rare the most poor classes- these days
it's hard to find those family in Japan since most of us are nuclear family
and have one or two children in average, or even being single. She therefore
raised very wild but at the same time she wanted to be paid attention more from
her parents. In her comment before, she said 'If I died, some ppl may think about me7
So I think the motive is to get attention from her loved one and public.

2)She was not very actively working these days so she had some fear for the future
as an poor idol to survive in TV.

Your mom sure has a sense of humor.

This pic made me smile somehow. Recovery efforts in every way is happening.

I wonder if jook from Las Vegas is banned. Haven't seen him around recently.
I wonder when super hacker igirisu-jin 'll hack and begins to access to 2 chan again.

So where is my Japanese suitor, he told me he would cook,
clean and care for me for free...Then he disappeared.
After all he turned out to be complete air.

If you treat me as if I were king, then I'll take care of you.

Hang on,,, are you >>510??
When you say I should treat you like a king, what do you mean?

No, I'm not 510. What I mean is you should treat me with much respect even
if I'm neet. I'd clean our house and do house choirs while you're out at work
but still you have to treat me as if I were a king.

Have you noticed the following?
---
The system for obtaining a driving license in England is slightly different
to that of Japan. The "L" in L-Plate stands for "Learner," and everybody
who is driving on a provisional license (i.e. who has not passed their driving
test) are obliged by law to display the plates on the car. Unlike Japan, once
a driver has passed the test and is in possession of a full license, it is no longer
necessary to display the plates.

Prince William, of course, passed his driving test many years ago and does
not need to display the "L-Plates," but he did so as a joke to indicate that
he is still a "Learner" with regards to marriage. It is the ability of England's
royal family to make small jokes like this that keep them popular in the eyes
of British people, and I hope they will continue seeing the bright side of life
well into the future.

>>612 You mean your idea of being treated with respect is equal
to being treated like a king?
Of course I would treat someone who does all that with respect.
A man who takes care of the household and his friends/family has my
utmost respect because they are so rare.
I would be proud to have a friend/partner like that.
Seriously, NEET guys should consider getting into an alliance with
single men/women in the workforce. Two is better than one.
Their lives would be transformed for sure.

DON'T IGNORE SPARKY!!
HE IS CUTE AND GAY LIKE A PRINCESS!!
EVERYONE SHOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION TO HER!!

Talk to Sparky and share a wonderful moment with him.
Just making fun of Sparky would please him. What displeases Sparky is ignore him.
He's a lonely gay boy. Be friends with Sparky.

my penis is bokking now

boki dORAEMON

i don't think so.
it's important whether the earthquake is a local type or not.
and the magnitude calculation method is different between
japanese computation and global standard computation.
a global standard is a moment magnitude (Mw) but japan is
using only local the Meteorological Agency magnitude (Mj).
therefore it can't compare these information briefly.

>>608 I have received a tweet message from jook.
He is out of town so cannot post on 2ch.
He will be back on Sunday.
This information was provided to you by Kame Girl 2ch messenger service,,,,.

>>619
www to the last line.

Thanks for the info. Lots of people from overseas has banned so I thought
that's what happened to him again.

>>616
oh!really??

and my sperm is about to go out!!

i saw this picture too. but my case this picture made me cry. ・ﾟ・(つД｀)・ﾟ・

Sparky looks like a Panamanian American Johnny's boy. Love him please.

I remember KG2 showed a great interest in Sparky.
Don't know if she knew Sparky is a gay and so she can't get him.

Sparky deserves more even if he's a gay.
Pay more attention to what he has to say. He knows a lot about computers.
If you want to know something about Windows ME, ask him. He'll be pleased to answer
any of your questions.

Who's Sparky?
Is he really proficient with computers?
Which one among here is he?

What makes you think that I have the intention of going after
everyone in this thread? I am appalled by your view of me.
That so insensitive of you.

If 電気花火-san is talented and cute he could send in an application to
Johnny Kitegawa. He may have a great potential and a bright future.
I would be his fan then, supporting him.

Then support Sparky.

Well we hardly know anything about him!
Does he sing, dance, act?
Does he have a website? A manager? Agency?
We don't know.

if fleas was a good guy then
flea = me w

Hey hey hey heyyy minasan konnichiwa!
You know what happened?
I have tweeted a message to Kat-tun's composer Joey Carbone
from the States. And he replied!!!
He is an awesome musician, he composed Never Again,
Freeze and Signal for Kat-Tun. I am always in awe of their composers.
The music is so refreshingly different. I am glad Akanishi Jin
added him to his list that is how I could reach him!
I will also show up in Jin's messages too...
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT???
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Sparky is happy KG2 finally admitted he is cute. Sparky loves to be complimented.
We should let Sparky happier here. He's a gay, after all.

Let's be gay for Sparky!!
If you are a male and still love girls, change your sexual orientation for him.
Sparky would be happy to accept you.

>>641
I didn't know you were more interested in AJ than in SG.

i lov main c.
i hate salut.

I DON'T HAVE A SEXUAL ORIENTION

He likes boys.

>>647
I am actracted to TECHNOLOGY

I AM TECHNOPHILE wwwwwww

>>646 Don't worry I can align you Spa-ki-4-san.

Here is the wonderful Joey Carbone, Kat-Tun's composer, with the boys

http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20090314a1.html

>>648 I am a technogirl like you but can't stand nerdy males.

>>641
Congrats but I'd say Igirisu-jin's Squid tweet is 100 times worthwhile than Joey Carbonara pasta's tweet.

>>650
did you sea flea image?

>>651 Of course it depends on whatis more attractive to you.
In my case it is music, fine art and performing arts.
I love it when people devote themselves to something they love,
and their lifeforce shows through what they do and they moves masses
emotionally. I find parallel thinking in my own field.

It can be anything, including love for tentacled beings or flea.

>>652 Of course I did, may be it is not cuter than you are.
Keep making spelling mistakes and stay cute forever Spa-ki-4-san.

>>653
*^^*

>>653
I am a nerdy transgender boy >,<

See? His lovely gay posts make people change for him.

>>623
there are no security guard and no cash registers. it is far from convinience to say.
but the staff is working seemingly not thinking about the desaster.
the faces of them are same to theri usual life. but background is piles of rubble.
these contrast makes me sad.

Is Cris Crocker a gay boy or a transgender boy?

Chris Crocker - When people say "That's So Gay.."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdgpgRgwM8c&feature=related

Sparky would agree with him.

whut whut in da butt.

Aww Joey Carbone is such a sweet person, he tweeted me again!!!
I never thought I would be this happy, even happier than if
Kame sent me a message! He is the creator behind many
Johnny's compositions. I love the soundscape of his music.
I sent my thanks to Johnny-san. I hope he gets it.

Hi folks, I'm back home. I had a good week in CA.

>>658
Actually, I was never even sure if that video was a boy or girl.

>>619
Thanks for passing the message for me. :)

>>662
You can't tell? Gee, it's the end of the world.

>>661
I know how you feel.
Its like Igirisu-jin getting messages from Candle JUN, NORIAKI or COOL TAK
and being as happy as a clam.

>>662
Good to know it's not that you were banned again.

>>657 You mean the earthquake survivors. I am very sorry to hear that.
Believe me I could not eat properly for a week when it happened.
Knowing my friends were suffering and in constant fear.
Crying is good for you but try not to get depressed.
Please be strong and help people around you. I am sure you can do
something. Only that way you can overcome sadness.

>>653 Ok so you are. What are you going to do about it? Do you
have a boyfriends/partner to add meaning to your life?

>>663 You are welcome. Next time Iam gonna charge you. Or you
can send me wagashi! wait... you are not in Japan.

>>665 No comparison mate. I am talking to a musician who is
a first degree contact of idol Kamenashi and media boss
Johnny Kitagawa. A massive difference methinks.

>>666
no. i live in osaka. i didnt see the disaster directly.

Hilarious exchange ensues between Kat-Tun composer Joey and KG2ch on twitter .
I never imagined him to be sooo friendly.
He made my day.I think my message to Johnny Kitagawa will
definitely get through!

>>667 You don't have to see it directly.
You are surrounded by thousands of grieving people.
It will impact your psychology. So be strong, hang in there.
If you are on twitter you can write to me.
I hope you feel better soon.

Talk to Sparky and encourage him. He's depressed probably because Louisiana doesn't
even try to accept gay boys as their community members. Sparky is a gay and that can't
be helped. Encourage him to live strong. The first thing you guys are asked to do
is talk to him. DON'T IGNORE SPARKY!!

The immediate concern in Japan is what's going on about the nuclear reactors's
fuel rods. No.1 reactor's rods are announced officially melting down
which is one of the worst news. The problem is that it's said that no.3
reacter is in more serious condition and there's no official report about it.
Rumor has it that it's such a serious condition that the authority in charge
can't even report about No3's condition.

Our media reports far less often about nuclear plant's situation than when the disaster happend
but the problem is, that never means the situation of the nuclear plants are going in the better direction
and settling down. It's been worsening bit by bit actually without effective measure being taken.

If things keep going bad if gradual, Tokyo will be in panic and Toyoites and people around
Tokyo will start to flee from the Metropolitan area. That's a terrible thing to happen.
Fukushima, where the nuke plant is located is going through nightmare.
Our government's announcements about how much radio active substances have
been leaked and accumulated can't be swallowed as they are. You have to think the current
situation is worse than governments estimation.

In reality, Fukushima isn't an appropriate place to live anymore although
Govenrment say things in a sugar-coated way to prevent panic there.

>>669
no no . dont take it seriously like that. i just stated my impression of the picture.
i am not depressed and many people except the tohoku region are not sicked mentally after the disater.
i also saw many of davastating pictures about the disaster but i am ok.

I wonder if Louisiana is so conservative as to exclude gay people.

i heard mississippi river is flooding. is sparkey alright living louisiana ?

>>669
Harajuku~ enter a johnny's merchandise store

>>671
I understand that everyone is really annoyed at Tepco and at the
government for not releasing information to the public about the reactor.
But at the same time, I can understand it. They are taking enough preventative
measures to keep civilians safe, but they are keeping them from panicking.
Imagine what would have happened if Tepco had said back in March that
the reactor had melted down. Tens of thousands more people would have
evacuated Japan from places as far as even Okinawa from panic. To them,
the word "meltdown" means Japan is going to become an uninhabitable desert.
Not to mention the effect on the Japanese market.

On another note, I have a question for Japanese people. When living with a
family in Japan, would it be best to use the teichougo (like -masu form)
with them all the time or would it sound more natural to use ippankei
(general form) sometimes?

you mean "teineigo"?

>>677
Hmm, so you are planing to stay in Japan, I take it?
My opinion: Don't worry about it that much.
Generally, host families are the kind of people who are willing to accept exchange students and such.
They wouldn't care about small things. Rather, they would try to let you talk (or use body language if
you are not that good at Japanese).
Having said that, if you are really worried about that, desu/masu form
is appropriate when you meet your hosts at the first time. After that (or several days),
you'll be friends with their child/children, and then it'd be quite natural to talk frankly.
and maybe it'd still be good to use desu/masu when talking with the mother/father.
Like
I said, though, you don't have to worry too much. They wouldn't be offended
if you made a mistake in Japanese.

Today I met one senior woman who was complaining about her daughter.
Her daughter's husband is working for Toden,Tepco (Tokyo Electric Company), where
most employees are in trouble these days. They are extremely busy and cannot
expect for the salary or even bonus. Their salary become less than before
and most likely, bonus wouldn't be paid, which is normal compared to the ordinary Japanese
companies because of the depression
in Japan. I've advised her that until today, their salary and working condition was
too good therefore, they probably feel the little bit back away from the previous
supper good working conditio, which made them feel bad. That's all.

>>677

it would be better if you could use teinei-go and talk to them with it.
but if it's difficult, it is ok that you just try to use it.

Sparky, you should talk about your computer and let your passion for Windows ME explode!

Also, Sparky should talk about his boyfriend.

hi. i`m nyo.
My english is so fantastic.
anyhow . i wanna be regular of this room.

i feel shudder due to pee.
why on earth is sparky so charmer??
who can tell me it?

ex-nyo.
i have changed my nickname from nyo to oshiri.
needless to say , im japanese.

my poem is always random , but , dont laugh me .
we are tomodachi

>>680
I hope i adopt the daughter into my house .

not being busy , i could read some books with easy .
:D guhaha

>>678
I mean 丁重語. But I guess teineigo is about the same thing.

strictly speaking, oshiri and ketsu are not the same thing.
teineigo and teichougo are similar to them , i take it .

cola, it may have led to fat body.
if you are fat boy, you can change your food style .

if you are fat boy, you should change your food style * ..

>>686
Not that it matters for anything, I'm just curious, but why call yourself oshiri?
Do you use a mousepad like this one? http://i.imgur.com/ynTQM.jpg

Anyway, welcome. I can't tell how many people talk here, since they are mostly anonymous,
but I'm sure there's room for you.

>>693 I have a vague feeling we are small group of people here.
Some of us pretend to be new.

Minnasan konnichiwa...
This time I got re-tweeted today by another celebrity!
This time by Bikke from Tokyo No 1 Soul Set.
They have collaborated with many artists, including KyonKyon.
I love their music!

Amazing how responsive the Japanese music people are!

>>672 good to hear you are OK.

>>675 Those are typical aren't day, they are young,rude and immature.
The shops are full of eye candy indeed. But what's the use,
if you don't have a real Johnny's boy in your life.
There are handsome Japanese boys swarming around, the girls should have
made themselves presentable to those instead.

Konnichiwa to those who have woken up. I am going to do a lot of work tonight.
Yes, I want to work so damn hard!!!!!

>>693
is this mousepad yours? （＾ω＾）peropero

>>696
Do you happen to play music when you do your work at home?

Is it sort of working overtime at home?

>>693
Oh, it looks like that mousepad has hand reat on the near side to your body.
I use that type of mouspad, I mean, with hand rest not anime character's ilustration
and it turned out to be be very user friendly. Althuogh it's not for summer.
Because sweat will sink into the hand rest and I bet it will feel uncomfortable.

how about omu rice ?

>696 I sometimes do. Depending of depth of concentration required.
Let us say, it is catch-up work due to lost time while trying
to get into a new research field.

Let us summon Sparky here and let him talk a lot about Windows ME!!

I hereby order you, Sparky, to post from dreary Louisiana to upload photos of your wearing a pink skirt.

Please watch the video below. With a 1000 views on that video, i will
get a new hat unlocked in a video game called "Team Fortress 2." Thank
you for your help.

I am not interested in the otaku thing,but it's ･･･good shape !

as i like girl hip,I choosed the word.

>>708
I can respect that. I like nice legs on a girl too.

>>708
also, the past-tense form of 'choose' is "chose."
It doesn't follow normal rules.

>>707
you are living las vegas...
it's same to andre agassi.

TALK TO SPARKY!! DON'T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST HIM JUST BECAUSE HE IS A GAY!

>>710
I totally forget it.
39!

I chose the bread as breakfast.

Windows xP vs. Windows Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijLYWXlhZhE&feature=channel_video_title

THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING YOUTUBE VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN!!

>>711
I don't know who that is, but okay.

>>712
But he isn't saying anything recently.

>>713
That is the right form of the word, but your sentence is a little awkward.
It would be better if you said "for breakfast" instead of "as breakfast."
If you don't want me correcting you, please tell me. I like to help, and I would
definitely want to know if I mess up my Japanese.
It took me a while to figure out why you said "39." I didn't get it until I tried thinking in Japanese.
Just so you know, if you were speaking to a native English person, it would be better if you said 千九.
That is closer to how we actually pronounce it.

>>716
no, not at all, i don`t mind it .
at first, i owe you gratitude.

In fact, 千九 is more better than 39 for native english person.
I can agree with you .

But in general , 39 is popular in stead of "thank you " in japan .
Besides , 1009 is troublesome and too long word , I think .

i think japanese like pun .
3= san(than) , mi
9= ku , kyu,

watashi ha 029(oniku) tabetai.

watashi ha 029 ga* tabetai

>>717
I learned something new. I guess I don't hang around on Japanese websites enough, since I've
never seen 39 for 'thank you' before.
That looks like fun though. I can try one.
If you're going to have 029, I will eat 15. Strawberry season is just starting, after all. ichi-go. :)

>>719
oh good, apparently, you already have mastered number-pun!
15,, it reminds me of ichigo-panty and kurosaki-ichigo from Bleach,

and Strawberry fields of Beatles..!!

39-price means low-price. \390 for a sirloin-steak, for example.

nerd

I've just remembered another version of such puns using numbers.
For example,
一本でも　人参
一羽でも　にわとり
じゅっこでも　いちご
You call it Ninjin, even though there is one of it.(Ninjin is a Japanese word for carrot)

shiii**! I've just discovered that I had been paying Yahoo Japan for nothing.
I rarely go to Yahoo Auction these days but monthly 395 yen fora premium membership fees
have been deducted from my account! So I deleted my account there but overall, I missed a lot of
money. I really hate Yahoo. They just automatically charge us and make it so complicated to get out
from the membership. Grrrr!! I hate Yahoo!!! Give me back my money!!

　
Japan Has Been Bullying US for Many Years

The Statue of Liberty is just one example.

As far as I can remember, Sparky loves to talk about Windows ME.
He's a big of WME.

>>724
Tell that directly to Masayoshi Son on Twitter.
It's widely known in Twitterville that he listens to requests from
consumers on twitter.

>>725
The second one is about Brazil. That has nothing to do with the US.
And I thought the first one was pretty silly.

speaking of silly ,,,

As far as I know, my hip is not sexy .
Because I have been looking for someone who has perfect shiri.

>>727
Will Son really give him back the money in that case?
Or you mean he will have the complicated system improved to a simple one?

>>730
They don't give you back the money because they claim it's you who doesn't
know the rule.

Only possibility you can expect from Son is that he'd urge his employees
to make the rule clearer to users.

A ventriloquist was on stage one day doing his repertoire of Irish
jokes, when an Irishman in the front row of the audience stood up
and shouted, “Will you stop telling Irish jokes. We are not all
stupid, and I resent the implication that we are.”
The ventriloquist was immediately remorseful and was apologizing
profusely when the Irishman interrupted him: “I’m not talking to
you. I’m talking to that little fellow on your lap!

>>724
That's how monthly charge works, bro.

It's the same as your phone company.
Even if you don't give or receive a single phone call,
you still have to pay the basic charge and can't complain about it.

You and other guys sympathetic to you are all lame.

An Irishman's been drinking at a pub all night. When he stands up to
leave, he falls flat on his face. He tries to stand one more time, but to
no avail. Again, he falls flat on his face. He decides to crawl outside
and get some fresh air in the hope that it will sober him up. Once
outside, he stands up and, sure enough, he falls flat on his face. The
Irishman decides to crawl the four blocks to his home. When he arrives
at the door, he stands up and falls flat on his face. He crawls through
the door into his bedroom. When he reaches his bed, he tries one more
time to stand up. This time, he manages to pull himself upright and he
quickly falls right into bed. He is sound asleep as soon as his head hits
the pillow. He awakens the next morning to his wife standing over him,
shouting, "So, you've been out drinking again!" "Why do you say that?"
he asks innocently. "The pub called. You left your wheelchair there again.

I think Akanishi Jin is in London. I hope he shops at the Japan Centre.
Wouldn't be awesome to bump into him in there...buying his instant ramen.
"Ahh Akanishi-san please give my regards to Johnny-san and make
him send all his talents to London." wwwww

>>729 Oshiri you should work out and you would have super sexy hips
like Kame's.

TALK ABOUT SPARKY MOAR!!
HE'S CUTE, LONELY, AND GAY!! WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE HIM TO TALK ABOUT WINDOWS ME!!
HE'D BE HAPPY TO SHARE HIS KNOWLEDGE ON WME WITH YOU!!!!

Hey Akanishi-san welcome to 2ch! Your English is really good,
good luck with your shooting.

As if he would turn up...

>>731
I agree with you.
I think it was >>724's own fault, too.
Anyway, we should be alert to use money lest we waste money in vain...

By the way, I didn't sleep at all last night, so I'm too sleepy to study math now.
A can of coffee doesn't help me!

>>740
Thank you for agreeing with me. Yes, Sparky is the hope left for us to share.
He's a gay and a big fan of Windows Me. We should respect him.

>>738
How do you know I'm lurking? Are you a psychic?
Anyway, thanks for your warm welcome and compliment to my English.
I Know have lots of room for improvement regarding my English but remarks like that
always motivates me. Thank you, sweet sugar-coated cherry pie.

By the way, you can wave me or ask me for my autograph when you see me acting on the street.
I wish Kame didn't exist. Then I'd be your Mr. Right. Life isn't fair.

>>741
You really love Sparky. Why don't you make his photo the wallpapaer of
your PC?

>>736
if I got sexy hip,I'd be satisfied with it.
but, my parerents won't be able to accept that the hip is my wife.

*if I got sexy hip,I'll be satisfied with it.
?

DON'T LEAVE SPARKY ALONE!! HE IS A SHY GAY AND IF YOU LET HIM BE HE'LL LOSE HIS PATIENCE!
WE HAVE TO TALK WITH SPARKY ABOUT WINDOWS ME!!

What's Windows Me?

>>747
Windows xP vs. Windows Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijLYWXlhZhE&feature=channel_video_title

Ask Sparky in person what WME is. He's ll be happy to tell you.

I think Sparky feels lonely because KazKata disappeared from here.
No wonder he's depressed. What if someone you like disappear suddenly without any particular reason?
Guess Sparky has been asking himself why and couldn't find any answer.
Let's hope Sparky and KazKata will meet again.

Oh my God, what fun it is to find and sing just lalalala bye.

Why does Sparky prefer to use Windows ME now that we have Windows 7?
ME is better than 7?

As you know, Sparky is a gay. Is that something to do with using Windows Me?

According to Sparky's youtube video, Windows ME boosts faster than XP does.
Probably XP is a better one than Vista. I don't know about win7.

Windows 7 & ME > Windows ME > Windows XP > Windows Vista

This is the answer, right?

SHIT!! My mistake.

Windows 7 & ME > Windows XP > Windows Vista

Let's ask Sparky to expose himself to 2ch.
He'll be happier to live a gay life on the cyberspace.

Sparky!!

is a gay. Right?

The number of travellers visiting Japan hit a record low in April ― 62.5% decrease compared with the same month last year, according to the official report.
It sounds radioactive leaking is worrysome for travellers indeed even though the local people are not really concerned about it.

>>742 You are not Akanishi Jin. Your style is different.
But thanks for trying to make me happy.
anyway, whoever you are,
Would you make dinner for me and massage my shoulders?
I'd love that.
A manly man to do those important things.

>>758 If you give me free accommodation, I'd be willing to travel to Japan to get radiated.
I would volunteer to clear up the debris and rebuild Japan.

why you are intoxicated to akanishi , i cant understand the reason .
personally japanese nice gay shoud be like nakanishi manabu.

Day of Death of Princess Diana

http://s1.shard.jp/deer/0103/33/221.html

Princess Diana was killed in a traffic accident on August 31, 1997.

But the day marked the 100th anniversary of Thomas Edison's patent of kinetoscope.


( http://book.geocities.jp/japan_conspiracy/0102/p004.html )

( http://park.geocities.jp/j_con4/0104/p044.html )

nakanishi manabu...

as far as I know, He is tough guy in whom Sparky absorbed .
If I were him, I`d pose at the center of this room .

hello,

>>765
He's a big guy but he looks like a big softie.
I bet he wears a skirt sometimes, too.

>>767 How can that be an attraction to some people?
If he was slimmer, maybe.

>>767
I wear kilts sometimes. They are awesome.
I wouldn't go around in a skirt though.

>>768
Do you know Kat-tun's lyrics has impressed some people because there is a hidden meaning
in the lyrcs of thier song? The technique used there was "Vertical reading," which
is very common in posts in 2chan. It's so common and widely known for
2channelers, Kat-tun failed to impress 2channelers but seems like people who aren't familiar with
2chan and "vertical reading" are very impressed with the technique and hidden message of the song.
Read the writing below and see the hidden message there.
-------------------------
I just wanted to tell you something.
Last time I intracted with you.
Oh, my god.
Very satisfying indeed.
Enormous joy filled me.
You may not believe that.
Or you feel something is wrong with me.
U never know...

>>768
I don't think they are from Kat-tun. You are making it up.
If its is yours, I like it.

>>771
That's something I made to explain what's vertical reading is like, not
from their lyrics I'm talking about.
Do you get what vertical reading is? If you don't know what vertical reading is,
you don't get it if I copy and paste the lyrics.

>>772 Yes it is something we learnt at primary school.
You have written "I LOVE YOU".
Ther is nothing secretive about it, it is obvious.

>>773
I don't know about English but it's dificult to recognize if there's a hidden
message in the form of vertical reading in Japanese. It's a part of 2cha culture.
I haven't heard about vertical reading before 2chan.

Anyway, the part of "Run For You" lyrics which has impressed some people are:

頑ななPRIDE (stubburn pride)
張り切れそうなVOICE (almost bursting voice)
れん続したTENSIONに　心痛めないで (Don't get distressed by a series of tension)
日の昇らない朝はない　夢見ること止めない (There's no morning without sunrise. I don't stop dreaming.)
本当のCHALLENGEが今この場所で　ここで始まる (Right now, right hear a real challenge will start.

Vertical reading:「頑張れ日本」(Hang in there, Japan! )

Don't believe my translation. Just read it for your reference. Especially, "challenge" in the last line
is a tricky word to translate.

>>774 2ch people are so intelligent. I also believe the average intelligence of Japanese people
are higher than the rest of the world. Some 2ch practices baffle me.
Thanks for the lyrics. Ist here a link for the song? I would appreciate it!

By the way, I am now being followed by Kat-ttun's composer on twitter!!!!
I am thrilled! I am over the moon!
I better behave myself.

>>765
so spaky likes macho men ?
what is "pose at the center of this room" ?

>>775
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tlxPmunqRY

It seems like this is a song used for a automobile CM released on May 15th.
All I could found was 15 sec. version. The vertical reading part isn't incuded
there.

Kat-tun fans oversseas hasn't catched up with Kat-tun's move?

In the billboard at the beginning, all the member's are cut out meaning have all gone somewhere...
Where are they? Yes, they are in the car going somewhere to have a fun.
"If you purshase this car, you'll have fun driving and can go whereever you wanna go to have fun."
That's the sales pitch of the CM. The car seems to have good milage. 22.5km/littler

It's just a few seconds but you can see at the top of the billboard,
"New single coming soon." Fans here seems to be guessing if the song could be their
brand new single, or it's just a setting of the CM.

If you spread the rumor among fan bases overseas, you can be a hero, rather heroine.

what if the residents become robots and is able to live there ?

As a part of the promotion of the car, you can download two types of wallpapar
with each having two types of aspect ratios.

I have a question about the word, "Fishy" in the case bellow.

“I just know that we’ll be feeling very fishy.”

The above is what the director of a music video said when asked what her new music video will be like?
What does this "feeling very fishy" mean?
Can it mean you'll be suspicious of something as in "smell fishy?"
The "Feeling fishy" is almost the same as smelling fishy? Or is it literaly mean
"fish-like" like, when we watch the video we'll feel as if we were in water like fish?

>>775
>>568 is a typical example of "vertical reading".

>>784
Holy shit! I had never recognized it until you pointed out.
That's superb execpt that you are belittling him.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's letter is coincidnence?
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/10/schwarzenegger/

>>784
oh...

If there's one thing to add to what >>774 says, "vertical reading" is meaningful
because what's written in the vertical order is quite different from what you normally read.
Rather it's quite opposite.
So some say that kat-tun lyrics are not interesting.

Anyway, there are many more complicated "reading" techniques in 2ch such as "diagonal reading".
With that technique, even some of those who are used to "vertical reading" get tricked/trolled
until others point that out.

>>783
You got it right the first time. 'Fishy' means 'suspicious.'

Oh hey apparently I can post by tethering my cell phone's 3g service to my computer. Those who cannot post:

What's the city of Izumi? haven't heard of that name before.

DON'T IGNORE SPARKY!!

HE'S BUSY PLAYING CHRONO TRIGGER!!
ASK HIM WHERE HE IS NOW AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO COMPLETE IT!!!
DON'T FORGET HE'S A GAY BOY. HE NEEDS BOYS TO ATTEND TO!

Sparky loves to play video gaymes!!

I'm a gay, too.

this false labeling me gay is geting vey old very fast

So you're Sparky, right?

Nothing [ to worry about [ being called a gay ] ].

Don't worry, Sparky. Even if you are a gay, you are human. That means you have the all and every right
to live as a gay. If you are worried about people in Louisiana watching you, then move to Australia,
where a big gay event is held every year.
Why don't you join them? Parade!! And party!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FlxF4iE31w

Sparky, let [ us all be the same ]!

DON'T IGNORE SPARKY!! HE'S A GAY FOR SURE!!
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BOTHER TO CALL SPARKY GAY, THEN YOU SHOULD CALL HIM SPARGAY.
THAT'LL SETTLE THE MATTER!

Who do you like, Sparky? How many boys have you found interesting so far?

morning,
open the window
morning,

i wanna be kaera

I, as in many other member of this room,am attached to you... namely Sparky.
not to mention that whether I`m gay or not .
I`m just Oshiriman,who is not fishy.

>>806
Thanks for making me look up 'momojiri' at work

>>807
It is a pleasure to meet you ^^;'

>>788
Thank you very much, jook.

Sparky, how old are you?
I'm 61.

you are so old!

Sparky is 20.
There's nothing between KAZUKICHI AND SPARKY that stops them from loving each other
no matter the age gap, no that KazuKata disappeared.
Sparky feels lonely. He needs someone that takes care of him.

December-May relationship....

>>776->>779 Thanks, I read about it but it is the first time i am seeing the CM.
Thanks for keeping me up to date . So sweet of you!

>>787 I cannot read or speak Japanese, so I cannot tell if their lyrics
have this Vertical Reading aspect. If you come across one of Kat-Tun
I would be very happy to look at it.

>>815
Did you see Music Station yesterday?
Kame said he uses perfume that smells like vanilla.

>>816 No, what is Music Station? I would love to know what perfume he uses.
He dis say he uses Burberry's. I would prefer his "own" aroma wwww

For women the nose is an analysis tool for measuring the health
and eligibility of a man in partner selection.
Perfumes smell good but they override this sense thus confusing
the selection of her partners.

>>817
Didn't you know?
MS is a well-known TV programme in Japan.
When Perfume (a techno pop girl group) asked what scent/smell other artists like,
Nakamaru answered he likes Kame's vanilla perfume. Then Kame said he uses vanilla-scented
perfume. All I remember is Kame said it's for women.

>>819 Thanks, I never thought he would use women's perfume.

I woke up and am having a hard time trying to get back to sleep,
sing me a lullaby!

Ah it is noon for you in Japan. Have a good Saturday.
I have a crazy schedule today.
Must sleep, must sleep!

I guess you missed lots of Kame stuff if you even didn't know Music Station.

So Kamenashi is a gay, right? Using women's perfume...

Does Sparky have a chance to get in touch with this Kame boy?
Sparky would cheat on Kazukichi with Kamenashi. Yay for Sparky!!
He can choose whichever he likes!

Sparky likes boys. If you are a male and have interest in Sparky, just be gay for Sparky!

Wait I'm confused, is 片岡数吉 "Kataoka Kazukichi" or "Kataoka Kazuyoshi"? Kichi is the on'yomi of 吉 and
yoshi is the kun'yomi, so I'd expect it to be yoshi.

this is the only thing I am gay for

I think he is good!
Here are what he drew:

Wow! He sure has skills in drawing.
I like the fried shrimp in Cnadle Jun's earlobe. Both drawing capture the characteristics of
two people.

>>826
I don't know. All I know is he's one of the wierdest person in English board and
it's better to stay away from him.

garigari-kun,it reminds me of pupil days .
now, i prefer papico to it.
its taste is awesome .

A police car was stopped at a traffic light one day, when it
was suddenly rear-ended by a woman in a family sedan. The
policeman got out of his car and asked the woman, “Tell me,
madam, how do you stop your car when I am not here?”

One day when a man was going out to visit his friends in the
pub, his wife asked, “What would you do if you came home
and found me in bed with another man?” The man replied,
“I would break his white stick and shoot his guide dog.”

A small girl, noticing the size of her pregnant mother’s stomach
for the first time, asked what was happening. The mother replied
that her father had given her a baby. The girl immediately ran to
her father and said, “Daddy, you know that baby you gave mummy?
She’s eaten it!”

>>836
so you didnt eat papico in your childhood ?

>>844
papiko is expensive for kids.

How amusing your stories are!

test

I prefer the Garigari-kun type of ice with a wood bar inside. It's very handy to eat. I don't like it when my fingers are sticky after eating the Papiko type of ice.
This may sound a little bit weird or funny in a way, but when I eat Potato chips I use chopsticks, because I hate it when my fingers are greasy.

oh.. you should eat potato chips with your fingers, and also lick your fingers.（＾ω＾）peropero. it tastes salty, doesnt it ?
thats the way of eating potato chips.

>>849
However, chopsticks are great for cheetos.

I much prefer tweezers to chopsticks for that matter...

>>849
True, in fact that's how I used to eat Potato chips. Way long time ago.

>>850
I just didn't know what Cheetos was, so I did a quick Google search for it and figured out what it was. Along the way, Google showed me this pic below.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2047/2260892323_1df280bfbb.jpg
The dude on the pic is a Cheetos lover for sure. It looks like he needs a shovel to eat all those pieces of Cheetos rather than a set of chopsticks.

>>852
it looks like meal worms.

when i touch my important part in toilet, i use chopsticks.

oshiri has the knack for being gay for Sparky.
Give your ass to Sparky.

>>855
no way!!
my ass like beautiful flower has already been stuffed with dream.
and i don`t think my hip is bypass.

your shit is dream ? so should not flush it.

Japan has to be an international country like Korea.
That's the way to restore our glory.

>>857
it is the fact that shit is worthy thing like gold for Coprophilia.
needless to say i don`t have the vice like that.

>>859
korean culture had invented only the kimchi and "chichi-dashi-chogori"
i heard .

The time will come when we should abandon domestic market.

>>858
I'll help!

>>852
Wow, that guy seriously loves cheetos.
Now that you've learned about the regular kind, you should see hot cheetos.
They're even better. Spicy, cheesy, delicious.

>>856
"i don`t think my hip is bypass. "
This didn't make any sense. Want to try again?

>>863
I don't think they sell Cheetos in my town. Or I can find it, at least. Which is why I didn't know anything about Cheetos.
I love Kara Mucho. It's a spicy snack food, too. Once I open the bag of Kara Mucho, grab some, and take it to my mouth,
I just can't stop until there is almost nothing left in the bag. I use chopsticks for it, too. Of course.

>>862
You should help oshiri wake up for being gay!

I believe oshiri wants Sparky to destruct his ass.
Sparky has the weapon of ass destruction.

>>864
You're probably right. I never saw cheetos anywhere when I was in Japan.
They probably don't exist there.

All the proceeds from this song will be donated to Japanese Red Cross
Society in support of the relief efforts in Japan.

Yep

>>867
When you were in Japan? Then where are you now? Do you speak Japanese?

>>863
>"i don`t think my hip is bypass. "
This didn't make any sense. Want to try again?

i said you are not allowed to use my sexy hip without permission.
and my ass is not public building.

>>866
have you ever seen the man who have wepon with hip??
it`s so cruel situation.

>>871

You talk funny. And I like hearing it. But what do you mean, "to use my sexy hip"? Could you give me a concrete example?

>>872
if I were a gay ,I could coach it for you clearly.

It's time oshiri showed you how to use his sexy hip! For Sparky, of course!

>>873

To tell the truth, I had doubts that you were a gay given what you said and how you said it. But now you are implying that you are not, I'm guessing that you are a woman. Am I on the right track?

>>874
I haven`t even met Sparky yet.
how come I must be willing to do ?

>>875
apparently, the name of mine is so misleading for pure boys.
but i don`t think I intend to change my good name.

In addition, I am not girl or madam.

Why don't you start flirting online with Sparky, oshiri?
I'm sure you can get in contact with Sparky with ease. Exchange your e-mail address
then get on msn, be friends with him and enjoy yourself.

>>876
Okay, now I feel like I've gotten a little bit closer to you.

such a gay topic

>>880

I take it as a fun topic of conversation. You might be taking it the other way around.

>>881
I`ve enjoyed this too.
I`m disappointed not to be able to show my smile to you.
huhaha!!

>>882
Alright! The Internet has put all of us together, as it seems, but the truth is, it is breaking the bond that we all seem to cling to,
making every one of us feel less connected to each other. Which is where I feel disappointed with this great, yet lovable technology.

>thatgay
Everyone feels the same way.

I love this thread all the more for "shimo-neta"

>>870
I was in Japan in 2007 for a study-abroad program.
I live in Las Vegas now.
I studied Japanese for three years in college.

>>883
It is just that the way in which we are connected to each other has
shifted. We're more connected to human beings in the world but less
connected to people in close physical proximity. We're more connected
to people's thoughts and emotions themselves and less connected to their
identities. And I think we're less connected with how people are in
reality and more connected with our imaginations.
The last bit sounds kind of bad, but I don't think it is.

If you can help me, I'd appreciate it.
If you are bothered or not interested, just ignore this post.
Thanks.

The above is an exerpt of an artcle. I don't understand why "Today was lazy so I just grew my hair really long last night,"
can be a joke. Would you explain it? Even if you don't think it's funny at all, at
least you,as a native English spaker, understand what she tried to mean as a joke.
If you need the context, you can check the video page beklow.

Part3 of 4 video from 4:05.

>>888
She was bored, so she decided to let her hair grow really long, as something to do.
I guess? Maybe?

>>889
Thank you for your response.
I think "lazy" and it's impossible to grow hair that long in one day are kind of keys to understand this joke.
Another key would be she wears weave(=wig?) as she says in the video.

>>890
Well, it wasn't actually funny.
A weave is a kind of wig. The difference is, with a normal wig, you are usually covering all
of your normal hair, so only the wig shows.
A weave is sometimes like that, but also sometimes put on to modify your hairstyle, so it's there
along with your own hair.

At least, that's what I got from skimming the first paragraph on wikipedia.
It's not like I have any experience in these things, you know.

>>891
Thank you again.

I wonder why she brings up the word "lazy" here...
I don't want to be considered persistant, so I'll stop asking anymore.
The explanation for a weave helped. Thanks for your answers.

It's really frustrating that no matter how much I try to leave a comment the window gets kind of freezed along the way with a message saying like
"Please wait for the page to switch" and nothing happens.

>>884
Your comment makes me feel better. Your calling me "thatgay" makes me feel a little bit less comfortable, though.

>>870
That's great. I hope you had a great time in Japan.

>>887
I can't agree with you more. I often see people bashing each other online, and it's amazing how precisely that shows the ugly side of human being.
The Internet has brought as much advantage into our society as the kind of disadvantage we're talking about here. But whether good or bad, there is
no way stopping any of this. It's like the train has already left the station, so to speak. The only way that's left is to accustom yourself to it.
I guess that's life, and that's what it means to grow up... lol Maybe I'll talk more about this later when I've put my thoughts in order.

eigo shaberitai.

DON'T IGNORE SPARKY!!
WE SHOULD TALK TO HIM WHENEVER HE TURNS UP HERE. WE SHOULD SUPPORT SPARKY
DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE IS A HARD GAY!

fukushima plant no1 no2 no3 is under meltodown...
the situation was disclosed after 2 months of the accident.

now that it is summer, more native anglophones with names are showing up.
i don't deny that i am one, but at least i've been here regularly for
most of a year.
i just hope the number of japanese doesn't drop.
>>894
ja, eigo wo shabere.

>>896
I'm still living in denial that now Chernobyl has become rivaled by Fukushima.
I don't know why but it sounds unrealistic.
Maybe it's because I already got used to this type of news enough not to be shocked by another worse update anymore, thanks to the authority's efforts to "insinuate" the truth into our minds bit by bit,
or I'm just a stupid stubborn believer that this is the safest country in the world.

Sparky can't stop talking when it comes to Windows ME.
So we should ask him about it whenever we see him here.
Please don't leave Sparky alone. He is a lonely gay boy.
He needs someone to talk to, especially boys.

in fact, japan has been in a difficult situation without intermission.
I`m fed up with the news of radiation,which are very fantastic .

>>894
welcome to english oshiri world .

Japanese should leave Japan. civilian of earth. age 50.

I'm literally a zainichi-Korean. I fear rightward tilt.
If you hate foreigner so much, you should leave Japan with King of Japan(I heard that you call him Tenno)
and Japanese flag and anthem. to the unknown island. and kill each other.

Here is our land. if you hate us. you should leave here.

Our DPJ got political power. and they are doing what we want.
if Japan accepts responsibility of it's history further more
and to contribute to East Asia, you must vote for DPJ.

http://www.election.co.jp/news/2004/news0714.html

FYI : zainichi-Korean = Korean nationality only

I take zaiｰchon for cancer of japan.
if you are to hate japanese ,get out of here.

its kinda funny how life can change. can flip 180 in a matter of days.

One love for the mother's pride............

One love is all we need...♪

i started an arbite at karaoke, but about to have heart broken

I am a multi-national.
Let us be friends with each other!
We humans are all one family.

in fact , we are tomdachi and family .
but i heard kataoka su-kichi is mostly strange boy.
I don`t wanna be esposed awful situation.

exposed to* ？

I've been sick all this week.
On top of that, I haven't been sleeping well.
It's a rough time.

whats the matter ?

Where is Super Gay?

Have a good rest when you can.

Maybe this is different from your sickness but I heard that some people in and around Tokyo have the similar symptom
because of the potential risks caused by nuclear substances from the power plant.
Nobody can predict how the situation in Fusushima power nuclear power plant will turn out to
be, so some people are exposed to chronic stresses and are depressed.

How do you think of buying agricultural and fishery and other manufactured products
from Eastern Japan? It is apparent that those products are contaminated by radiated
soils and sea water. The is proved by the horrible figure −radio active contamination have
been shown by the figure which has been measured by some scientific institutes etc. but
actually government doesn't want to make it open since Japanese industry will completely
collapse if it is proved. But you know our health is most important than anything else...

Such as Seikyo, co-op food store which is supposed to be the most considerate to our health
says "Gambare Nioppon"(we support North Eastern area) and sells those foods which was produced in North Eastern area,
Ibaragi, Miyagi, Saitama, Chiba, sometimes Fukushima...do you think it's ok to buy
those products from Fukushima? I wonder how safe those products would be...

>>913-914
It takes a LOT of radiation to make you actually sick.
I think if people were getting sick, it's probably because of the stress.
But I think now that there is the radiation scare, if someone gets sick
from a virus or the flu, they will blame it on the radiation because
they are scared of it.
The radiation levels in areas like Tokyo are tens of thousands or hundreds
of thousands of times lower than anything that may cause sickness or
cancer.

>>915
Even if you don't get sick immediately, one of the terrible things about
radio active substances is to increase your risk of canser in the future.

Figures realeased by government regarding the amount of radio active substances
can't be believed 100% so that's one of the reason people are stressed out.

Today on TV, they report that the sales of a divce to measure radio active substances is skyrocketing.
Now that we can't believe our government, all I can do is to protect our own selves by buying
such device. We shoudldn't be afraid of our own shadows but have to
take precautions to protect ourselves.

I'm lucky I live far away from Tokyo.

You can see how fast Tsunami is by looking at this video.

"Our DPJ" still doesn't help victims of earthquake. aid money was disappeared to somewhere.
They don't build temporally houses. for your information. gov built it after half a month at hanshin earthqueke.
They are finding S.Korean building constructor while there are buch of building constructors in Japan.

I've had the worst and second worst ever in a row as a prime minister.
The former was Hatopoppo and the latter is Irakan.
Oops ! Irakan must be the worst because he hold on to the status of prime minister
and will never resign until the next general election.
"Know thyself"
He does not have what it takes to be the prime minister of Japan.

間違った。　we've had the worst ね。

PM Kan got money for election from his best friend Kim.
its illegal. he will be arrested. or Japan will be end.

Talking about earphone vs headphones.

When I'm on train, I sometimes see some who wear earphone
to listen to music or portable radio.
I guess they do that for others who wanna sleep or read some
book such as novel or magazine or review textbooks for some
examinations. However, the sounds from their iPod or portable
radio are out to even surrounding passengers!

I wonder why does earphone still exsit?

I think headphones are better than so fuckin' earphone. I also see
some who wear headphones to listen to music from their iPod on
train.But unlike earphone, the sounds from their iPod aren't out to
surrounding passengers.
So, as a conclusion of this boring suggestion, all I wanna say is
vanish all earphone!

Well, can you sympathy with me? haha...

Your way of communication is always one way.
You just pick up a theme out of nowhere and push your point which no body
is interested, I'm afraid.
