Hey!!! All 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, Touhou pirates, and that electrical super-gay who suffers from mental disease - This is your thread! Let's hope Igirisu-jin and the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon!
This is the place to have a ball!!!!! Let's support recovery efforts in Japan!!!!!!
>>1 I don't like this kind of thread, because it makes me vomit. Those inhabiting this are quite shitty as well. You should know better than to creat a better thread.
>>1 Hey, why did you build this thread? To contain freaks and never let them go outside? You fail! They are free to go anywhere on the internet! Wherever they try to go, you can't stop them going! Idiot!
I do think Japan should not join TPP. Because TPP destories Japanese agriculture cruelly. And I think TPP is crazy treaty for JUST vindicating US incompetent President Obama's honor. So I suggest Japanes PM Noda "Loach" Yoshihiko shouldn't join the treaty and be a "hog" for US!
Fortunately, he didn't indicate he joins TPP today. I hope he changes his mind. Say again, TPP is crazy treaty for JUST vindicating US incompetent President Obama's honor!
I'm not very familiar to this topic so I can't just say that Japan should join it or not. I'm not a farmer and I don't work for a big company, I'm just a colledge student. (ofcourse I know I'm supposed to be inetrrested in current events like this)
Everytime when there's an argument like this, I get so confused... There are so many things I have to learn more.
I'm against TPP. A farmer said "We are farming not because of competition with U.S. and so on" If Japan join it, Japan will possibly win in some fields in quality. Even if so, I disagree with TPP. This problem isn't productivity but culture that our ancestor have built in village. The U.S. don't have deep history, so they tend to have shallow thoughts.
>>42 Returnees at my old school were trying hard to fit in Japanese society and often say something like Japan is the best in everything and they don't like wherever they lived before.
in reality, a number of foreigners have immigrated into the US and got US citizenship. They wanted more opportunities for education, career, and freedom etc.
>>42 From my experience, those who have never been outside japan tend to be very happy in Japan. I myself lived in the US for 6 years. I prefer the US.
>>49 Hahaha I've been in UK for 5 years and prefer here:P But still love Japan and sometimes feel like going back home. Japanese food is the best for me!!!
Short stay in Japan is good. You can enjoy food and difference from other countries. But, staying longer is not that good. When you are outside Japan, you feel Japan is good.
>>54 I love Japan beause I was born in this country. If you live in Japan, I want you to get out of here right away because you say bad things about my country. In addition, of course it's YOUR opinion not general opinion.
>>58 That's none of my affair but their affairs. There certainly is chemistry even between an individual and his native country. I know any country has negative aspects, still if someone openly criticize my country, I won't forgive him. That is the way I love this country.
>>72 You said anyone saying negative things about japan should go out. That is the same way things are going in North Korea. Actually, >>54 said some good things about japan too, and yet you told him go out if he were living in japan.
>>55 The other day, I met this Japanese guy living in UK who kept telling people UK sucks and how terrible life was there, and he told me that kind of stuff too, and I was like what the fuck then why don't you just get out of there and go wherever you want?? Somehow your post reminded me of him.. lol
Every country has its own difficulties.UK society accommodates expats more easily. If you are an expat here, they simply behave like you don't exist. It feels lonely if you don't have attachments. Mostly UK-foreign attachments depend on how much you are willing to give up your idiosyncratic behaviour. In any way, you can lead a ghostly existence in any foreign country. Most of the Japanese friends in London do so. Most are single or divorced. Sabishi desu ne...
You don't have to when you are young. I guess when over 70, travelling becomes a problem even if you have the finances. You have to choose where to die.
I used to live in America for a few years and now I live in Japan but for me, Japan is the way better. It's just because I love Japanese food and the transportation system around Tokyo is so amazing and convenient! Where I used to live in Illinois was so rural I was so bored almost all the time. But people there were very kind. Ofcource I love both, though. I just prefer Japan.
I lived in New Zealand for a year 15 years ago, when I thought that I had to know my roots and reality. I wondered, who am I?what am I?why was I born in Japan? I might think what is important wasn't related to my feeling of "whether I loveJapan or not? " Just I might think I had to understand my country, myself. Maybe something like responsibility. After studied abroad I was enrolled in the department of Japanese literature.
I have lived in japan for 15 years but I don't like at all. Lately, I was fired by the company I worked over 10 years. I though I was considered a veteran and worked as it shoud be. I worked overtime almost everyday and did a hell lot of job in spite of fairy low sarally. But one day I had an argument with my boss over several projects I had been working on. He never understood my point and got unbelievably heated to tell me he didn't need me any more. SO MUCH for japanese society!
I'm sorry to hear that. But I think it depends on which company you work at. If you can't get along with your boss, however you tried to, probably you can find another job.
>>101 No offense, but you should go back to your country. You don't like Japan itself, right?? There's no point in staying here any longer if you have started feeling that way. It's just a waste of your life! I'm thinking about living in the US or UK in the future but before that, I'm probably going to stay in each of these countries for a short period of time(like 1 to 3 months) and see what they are like.
One should avoid saying things like " go back to your country". There must be a good reason why one's leaves one's country. If you don't know why a person suddenly takes off, your words can be insensitive and hurtful. Also a person who is leaving their country is brave, very brave. You must recognise that, and try not to be jealous of their courage.
Each country has each good point. Feeling good depends on one's liking or nature and so on. But I was surprised to see not a few people are vegetarian when I was in NZ. I wondered why? Now I'm gradually catching it somehow with my getting older. Nowadays It seems that my stomach is sensitive to foods. Then Japanese food could supply many alternatives. Like tofu, natto, many kind of mushrooms, konnnyaku, especially miso..... But in western it seems I could choose just animal protein or vegetable in many ways. Also it is said that higher incidence of colorectal cancer than Japan. This is just my opinion. Only my opinion. I don't feel like hurting the pride of other nations. But I'm suitable for living in Japan in the future.
Imagine all the people Sharing all the ass you... you may say,I`m just oshiri But I`m not the only one I hope some day You`ll join our ass And all arses will live as one
>>163 You want "have", not "has". "I have called the police." Has means present-tense ownership, possession, or affection. Joe has two kids, the cat has a ball, the dog has fleas, etc.
>>193 when I feel like i dont wanna do anything, i dont do anything and become lazy. take a rest, take a nap, do netsurfing, or sit at a cafe and relax. i do that for a day, a week or a month. then i can refresh and i can concentrate on my obligation next day.
>>196 I appreciate that you shared with me how you deal with that kind of situation. I will take a rest for a while and hopefully I'll get better soon!
I've just watched a show where athletes mostly football players gather and talk. Some of them play in pro leagues overseas, such as Germany, Italy, Holland, Spain.
They said that players in their teams all shaved their pubic hair and they give them a wierd look when they find Japanese players don't shave it in shower room after a game or practice, like "Why don't you shave your pubic hair?"
They say that it's for hygene reason. Is it common in your country to shave all pubic hair? It's not trim or just cut short. All shaved.
I know porn stars overseas especially female ones shaved but am surprised to know that even European football players shave pubic hair.
>>232 I also saw the program. Actually I thought it is reasonable for men and women to shave their pubic hair. But I like pubic hair of women. So sexy.
>>241 I think you can say "I wanna see native English speaker" If you want formal expression, then you should say "I would love to see native English speaker". But above is nearly nuance, I guess.
>>235-236 Thanks for your replies. I guess you are Japanese? I associate shaving pubic hair with porn actors and actresses. I'd like to know whether it's common for ordinary people (not porn actors) in Europe to shave pubic hair for hygene reason as the football players all said in the TV show.
>>126>>174 You sound like you have severe PMT. Annoying, like a nail scratching on a black board. Destructive, loud and aggressive low-life people like you never deserve to be born. They are a waste of earth's resources. Are you happy with the explanation? Do you want me to increase my dose of strong words? No matter what, I would never be "vulgar" like you.
>>243 I guess most Japanese males are naturally hair-free, with the exception certain body areas. I have seen some very interesting male hygiene management photos on 2ch. Naturally smooth black hair looks good on really pale complexion. Most Johnny's boy's have hairy legs abut recently they turned to removal and or bleaching leg hair. They bleach underarm hair too!!!
>>246 Yeah, Japanese (maybe Asian in general) aren't hairy. OKinawan tend to be hairy though. Having said that, we have salons for men that specialized in making body less hairy. They do laser hair removal on legs, face and arms and such. http://www.tbc.co.jp/mens/epi/
Never seen Johnny's boys bleached underarm hair but I know Masahiko Kondo has no armpit hair that's the way he is for some reason. Natural born no armpit hair even after he became adult. He is in his forties and doesn't quit the agency. I heard somewhere he's one of the candidate for the next president of the agency after Johnny himself.
>>244 >>246 Lol, what a hilarious bitch. Can you prove to me that I'm a destructive, loud and aggressive low-life person? You're already "vulgar" for replying to me. :3
>>250 I'm hairy, too. My anal (around anal to be precise) is very hairy. I can't use toilet without washlet. No matter how much I use paper and wiped my hair around anal it's impossible clean it completely just by using paper. So washlet is must for me.
Look at the language you use. Low life at its best. Nothing would get me mad, even if I my Hard Disk Drive fatally failed today. Why would a single-celled organism get me mad.
Yes but why are some Japanese men thin AND curvy? I don't see that in Chinese or Koreans. It is a niche look that only exists in Japan, I guess. I call it the post-metro-sexual "Kate Moss" look for men.
>>315 I guess we are not very interested in it. If you really wanna talk about Korean stuff, You can go somewhere else like here. Check this out. http://uni.2ch.net/hanryu/
>>307 Hanryu is the most greatest culture in the world because all Korean people struggle to exaggerate their culture harder than people of any other countries.XD
If you trip to Korea, you need to be ready to be stolen money, cloths, and everything. Women, be care for being raped. Especially Japanese, take care of being beaten as soon as you land there and being spit into the dish at like restaurants. Because they all hate Japanese. They have been educated to hate Japanese since young. If you touch their things, you would be killed. "Hating Japanese, Killing Japanese" is all of the Korea.
>>318 What's crazy? You are the one who got us started. You are the one who teased us. You are the one who wanted to draw attention by implying you'd show us your panties. You are the one who crossed genders. You are the one who wants to become a girl. You are the one who hates being a boy.
>>319 well, I have to say that that's sort of exaggerated. I still don't like Korea as a nation but all the Korean people in the US were so kind to me when I was there and they are still one of my best friends. I've never been to Korea so I'm not actually sure what would happen if I went there but lots of Japanese go there and come back without any problem. Ofcource I don't like Korean people who are the way too agressive towards us, they are even dangerous as you say. But we have to be careful not to become that kind of people too. That's what I think. I'm not interested in Korean artists or something at all though.lol
>>330 Korean monkeys are desperate in their attempt to get a popularity in any countries. They have no popularity and be omitted by most of all countries that's why they always lie many things.
>>330 Korean government has spent so much money on advertising their Hanryu worldwide and Japanese major TV stations are responding to it by intentionally creating sensational "Hanryu" image on their programs. A lot of TV personalities are mentioning Korean things on occasion, sometimes unaturally suddenly. News programs are picking up topics like "thousands of fans gathered to welcome a Hanryu star at the airport" quite often, though such numbers were mostly way too exaggerated.
The bottom line is, most Japanese are just uninterested.
all pretending! made by korean political strategy. It's so kidding. fake, false, ridiculous. all things are made by self-production of Korean government. People standing in line for hanryu are all korean in Japan. Korean authorities requests and ask to gather them around as if it were already popular in the world. Now that Japanese knows why hanryu looks popular, they have come to dislike them.
and do you know why korean government make such a all-pretended ridiculous things? They mean to rule JAPAN. They wanna crush all people and company and life and culture of Japan. allmost all of Japanese are getting aware.
>>323 What are you talking about? You are so indecisive I find that frustrating. You should decide on living as a girl. You seem to be wavering. You seem worried about your mom thinking you go overboard if you become a girl. Don't just listen to her. Just listen to your heart. You have colourful panties, and that's because you want to wear them and moreover to be precise you want to show them off. You are a girl inside. Just follow your heart. There's somewhere on the internet your sexual orientation is accepted as it is even if people in Louisiana roll their eyes at you. Don't follow a rule someone else has made for themselves. That's not for you. You should do anything you like. Just wear the panties and stand in front of the mirror and see for yourself what you really want to do. There's a girl living inside you. It's time for her to show herself. Break the shell of the part someone else wants you to play. You can do it. Act like a girl. And make everyone admit you are a girl.
You want to get rid of your dick in order to come near to being a girl. Save up as much money as you can, so that you will undergo some kind of surgery. You can be a girl.
One person I've come up with that I think you can follow: Haruna Ai. Just search for the name, and you will find out she used to be a boy who suffer a lot from what you are going through now. She used to be a boy like you are. A boy can become a girl. You can learn a lot from her. Good luck.
Don't interfere. Sparky has been seriously suffering from the problem. The person should have been born a girl. Why does he look like a boy? It's just outside of him. He looks like a boy but in reality is a girl. She doesn't need the penis. All he was supposed to be born with is a pussy.
Odd to ask you about the drama cos you are not in Japan, but does he change into some kind of monster in the drama? In the original Bemu in the Anime he changes his form to fight demons.
>>382 Yes, he and his companions change into non-human form, become very strong and fight evil humans. Really silly storyline but thatis not the main point. They want to be human. Without realising they are becoming more and more human like. But because on teh surface they don't look human, they always get mistreatde by idiotic humans.
The audience rates of most of the dramas that starred Kamenashi in the past was not satisfactory, but according to the Internet resource, the drama got off to a fairly good start as far as I know. I have no idea what it means, though.
Seriously because you are a man, you cannot understand what women really like. It is hard to explain it to you. Just like it would be hard to explain what you see in high school girls dressed as maids.
I worked today. Very tired and my HDD gives bad sector errors. Will cost me a fortune. And I am chatting to Japanese men who naturally cannot understand my obsession with Kazuya at 02:00 in the morning. Good night you brave 2ch warriors .
>>402 My hair is thin and the top of my head is gradually getting bald. I've started wearing hats recently when I go out. It's a terribly sad situation.
Your Open QuestionShow me another ≫ I'm tired of being black? blacks really cannot enjoy life i wish that i were a white man and i'm ready to give up on living
i hate being black, and wish that i were a handsome white man so japanese women would worship me
black is at the bottom
blacks have the lowest iq, highest std, ugliest features many sites prove it just look it up i hate being black and i want to die
i may have a big dick, but who can i ****? only ugly girls like blacks
i don't want black girls and honestly, black girls don't want me i only like japanese girls
it's just what i like japanese girls do not want black men they like handsome whites and latinos so yes, i want to die i hate being black
if i were white, i would not be odd at all i could get what i want whenever i felt like it
japanese girls love white men and latinos anybody but blacks i honestly hate being black and i want to kill myself
i love my parents and my childhood was pretty ok i just wish my parents would have aborted me and i hope that all black children are aborted
i do not like other blacks i hate black culture and i don't like black women or fat girls so i don't hang out with blacks but i cannot get laong with other races other races hate blacks, so i don't hang out with them
i have no friends.
we own or create nothing low iq ugly
we have to be jealous of the superior races all of the time life as a black person is just suffering at any rate, blacks can't compete with whites
i might be happier in an all black country but i'd probably die young because of aids, poverty, etc. but at least i'd like ugly black girls if i were born there, maybe i'd be happy but i wasn't, so i won't be happy there but honestly, i hate being around whites or other races
and i am not sexually attracted to black women or the ugly white and latina fat girls that date blacks i don't get along with black people because i am not black-acting enough and other races hate blacks, and i don't feel comfortable around them
i was never black enough and never want to be i am not interested in socializing with blacks
black babies should be aborted blacks should not live in this world
BTW I bought 4L sochu last week to save money. Like DAIGORO you might have seen it somewhere. But I have drank it almost all. How foolish I am. I think I should die soon.
>>437 How much TOEIC score you got doesn't mean like how much you can understand English news or somthing I guess. Even though my English score is more than 900(not that bad right?lol), still it's somewhat hard for me to catch up what a newscaster says. But I know a lot of people whose TOEIC score is less than me but understand English news much more than I do.
>>442 That's exactly right. Written tests, especially multiple choice ones, can't gauge how fluent you are in the language. Meanwhile, even if you don't speak English fluently and accurately, you can make Japanese people believe you are a good English speaker. What's important here is how you can manage that. Just learn from this example. There's a lot to think about.
>>443 Drinking too much would break your mental barrier that would make you feel uneasy when making English posts, in a certain way. But don't get too heavily dependent on the power of alcohol. Sometimes it ruins your life.
>>446 yeah I know what you mean I know there are so many people who spoiled themselves because of drinking too much in history I don't wanna be one of them thanks though
I was never a big fan of test scores. That just measures how good you are at the test. The real world is frequently very different from the test.
The only real way to learn something is to do it. If you want to learn English, try to use it. You will make mistakes, but everyone else made mistakes too. Look at the way children learn language - They start by imitating their parents, then move on to trying to communicate. They don't know or care that they are making mistakes when they start. The desire to communicate is more important than the risk of making mistakes. If you want to do something, you just have to go and try doing it. If you fail at it, then at least you know you tried and failed. It's much better to try and fail than to never try and wonder how it would have gone.
>>452 Yes,I have often. One day,when I got up, my girl friend was so angry. I asked her the reason why you were so angry. She said "Didn't you remember what you said to me yesterday!?". I didn't remembrer at all. And we broke up. Regrets of my life always with alcohol. haha....
I'm not good at English. So when I write a English sentence, I often cannot decide to apply what kind of 前置詞. How did you guys understand the means of 前置詞?
I don't want to call it worm. it's my pal. My pal used to be very vigorous when he was young. He would get excited whenever he saw a girl's naked body. But these days he always keeps putting his head down, so I sometimes have to console him forcibly.
>>507 Come, speed yourself. Rush into my open arms, so I can hold you tight and will never let you go. I'll take you where you should go. Me? I am the doom, by the name of the reaper. gringringrin...
>>508 You are too nice, Mr.goody. Hey, join us. Cmon let's go!
I didn't know that we must not praise same sez people's features in America. it's a culture shock. we often say "you're Ikemen""he's Ikemen"or something. its really sad. you americans are sick
Satisfying VS satisfactory I've looked them up in my English dictionary, but I can tell the difference between them. I'd be pleased if you gave me sample sentences where they are properly used and explain why.. Thanks in advance.
Hey,everyone how's it going? Recently, I have been studying English so,It is for the first time I write in This thread If I manage wrong words and grammars, I'm sorry at the time.
Oh yeah England as well. But British english and American English are very different. I prefer BE but AE is also cool! When I went to NY, a guy said that BE sounds dorky orz
>>598 I was interested in Cockney but my English teacher said no because it's rough and spoken by working class people in the east.. I don't care though
>>581 When I first met a pen friend from Japan who was learning English, she insisted on meeting at the Elephant House café in Edinburgh just because it was where some of Harry Potter was written...
>>582 They were a lot more similar before 1830. Noah Webster, an American academic, decided the English language should be made simpler and easier to learn. He was also a hardcore nationalist, and wanted to weaken the ties between the UK and America, and figured an overhaul of the language would do that. Many of his changes are in use today. In British English, we say "colour, traveller, analyse". In American English, it's "color, traveler, analyze". That's just a basic example, but many words follow that format. However, there were some words that weren't adopted. He tried to change "tongue" to "tung", and "women" to "wimmin", for example.
British English, even English English, has many dialects and accents. There are some places nearby where I can barely understand what people are saying. ttp://youtu.be/oSHHbfY6MVc
>>607 It's really interesting. I didn't know the history of how American English developed. And I'd like to know how British people think of American English. Some Americans say that British is cooler, while I think it's so hard to understand. Do you guys easily understand American English? Do you think it's cool?
>>609 Mmm.. In England they think American English is vulgar and not sophisticated. I guess British people are so proud of their history and language. I chose the UK because I wanted to study Queen's English but I don't like how British people think of Americans. Of course British people are very nice but some of them are snobbish.
>>609 American English is hard to understand for me as I've been in England for ages and have got used to British. I understand British films but not really Americans. American English is more known by people and the US leads the world so I feel I should study American as well
>>609 Most people here don't really care that American English is different to British English, but there are still some who, as >>612 says, are proud of their history and culture and see American English as a threat to British English, and wish to preserve what they see as "true" English.
However, it's difficult to define what true English is, as English itself is a language made of other languages. Britain has been invaded and has been home to many cultures over the past couple thousand years. The Celts, Gauls, Angles, Saxons, Romans, French and Vikings - each bringing their own language and integrating it into what was there. Even once the invasions stopped, the language has evolved so much that it's almost unrecognisable from what it was. In my opinion, the closest thing to "true" English is actually Icelandic.
Anyway... we watch American films, have American TV shows, and are generally able to understand American English perfectly fine, though some accents from the South can confuse us a little.
>>616 My acquaintance who lived in England used to say difference between American's first floor and English's it. He seems to proud to live in England. He behaved like England gentleman in Japan. Therefore he did seem a bit odd from our eyes. I recalled it to read your an article. :-)
Now I know I was acting odd in NY.. Maybe they thought my English was posh and I wasn't nice. I had to keep the word as 'When in Rome, do as Romans do' in my mind
>>621 He has lived in several countriees, as he grew up. He's been in this thread quite a long time, maybe more than 5 years or so? He posted more often in the past but he's been busy with a regular 9 to 5 job and have far less time to post here. When he was self-employed and work at home, doing a webdesign or something, he posted more often here.
We have lost contact with him before, that's why in >>1 there's a description like this. "Let's hope Igirisu-jin and the Internet-addicted housewife will come back soon! " Internet-addicted housewife was another person who posted often here. Due to 2ch's denial to access from overseas and other unknown reasons, she's gone for ages now.
Igirisu-jin himself has been banned by 2ch in the past since 2ch banned access from overseas as I explained above. Somehow there seems to be no problem with posting from UK.
Sorry, Igirisu-jin, if you feel eerie because I sounded like an online stalker or something, which I am not. I omitted Russian girl (professor) on the train part, Kitano Takeshi part, and your enthusiasm to COOL TAK and Noriaki and Ryoko Hirosue part.
>>626 Wow. Apart from Igirisu-jin, I'm surprised that this thread has been existing for more than 5 years!!!!!! I'm quite new here only for a few weeks. Sorry I might have asked repetitive questions. Just wanted to share the information with him because I live in the UK and interested in 2chan. Anyway nice to meet you everyone again;)
>>626 Are overseas posters still supposed to be banned? I know a few of us slip through the cracks... I like to think if I behave myself, nobody will think I'm worth banning. (It would be nice to be able to post from home, though.)
>>621 Nice to meet you too! I do live in England, but the top part, near Newcastle (Darlington, to be precise). I haven't been to London for a couple years. Are you studying English as a subject, or something else and self-learning English? Please don't worry about questions, I'm sure most people here don't mind, as this is a great place (sometimes) to practise English.
>>623 You're right, that's another difference between The US and the UK. When we enter a building, we call that floor the "ground floor", and the next one up is the "first floor". In the US, the entry level is usually the first floor, with the next one up being the second floor. I'm glad that your acquaintance enjoyed living here! These days, it's rare to find even English people who follow the stereotype of being an English gentleman.
>>626 It would only be creepy if I saw you taking photos through my window, don't worry. Sometimes I wonder what Cool TAK does these days... only seen that one song of his. Still a self-employed web developer, but just not posting so often because my ISP is still under a blanket ban. I'm using a Japanese VPN to post right now, which also comes in handy for playing JanRyuMon mahjong online.
>>643 It's not really that difficult. I heard about a "Chat in English" thread, so I looked up 2ch on Google, clicked a few links, and found "ENGLISH" on the left side.
>>644 I'm from various places in the USA. I was born in Texas, but I've lived in multiple other states. I haven't really introduced myself on here, just answered a few questions.
I heard that Texas is very unique and different from other states. They carry a shotgun when they go out and they can kill people if someone come into their house or even just their yard without permission.
>>629 I don't know if 2ch still bans posts from overseas. But sometimes I see a KG2ch's post where only "test" is written in comment field, so I thought she was checking if her new trick to post here is working that way.
It's not your behavior or anything. It seems like 2cn randomly bans post from overseas... Not sure though.
>>630 Oh, is that right... You said you are doing marketing when we talked about sound qualities of Walkman and iPod, so I thought you changed job from web developer to marketing. It's strange that almost no info about COOL TAK. I was curious and have searched for some info of him but in vain. Almost no info of his and the video, how the song was made. Mysterious...
>>630 I heard how the English pronounce "schedule" sounded so snobbish to Americans, that when the English were in the US, they pronounced it the way Americans did. Was that true?
Anyway, I might be disappointed with the poorness of Dragons batting lineup. Why Blanco? Why Wada? You should be powerful batters. I wanna say this. More shine WADA!
I had it. I know the blue one and the red one. It seems that the difference is the difficulty of the words that they have. In fact, the explanations of grammar are the same as each other.
Imagine having Chisame tied up infront of you. You pull off his silk lace panties that obviously came from an expensive lingerie brand and start to gently rub the flaccid penis and fondle his balls, all while hes cursing you.
Once his cock involuntarily hardens, you gently peel back the foreskin, and start to gently lick the glans and foreskin while you continue to work the shaft and balls. Pretty soon, pre-cum starts oozing out despite Chisame's protests.
Carefully using the pre-cum as lubricant, you switch to one hand rubbing the glans and foreskin and the other hand alternating between his shaft and balls. You can tell Chisame is close to cumming now, he's stopped swearing at you and is trying to hold back his moans and his hips are twitching involuntarily.
Now for the finishing touch, you take your hand off his erect, twitching cock, put it into your mouth, clamping around it tightly with your lips and start a sucking motion as your tongue wraps around the glans and presses down on it, being careful to keep your teeth away.
With a loud, stifled moan, Chisame arches back, his cock pulsing as the semen rushes out into your waiting mouth. You make sure to fully taste and savor every sweet drop as he collaspes back into the chair, panting with his still erect cock twitching in your mouth.
He probably expects you to stop for the moment now, but why would you? You continue to suck and lick on the cock in your mouth, except with the glans being incredibly sensitive after orgasm, it brings more pain than pleasure. Chisame's protests reach a new height and he struggles again to break free of his bonds as you strive to milk out every last drop of semen from his cock.
I'm not so interested in AKB, but living in Japan I can't completely shut them out from my life. They are more often featured in lots and lots of stuff than others because of commercial reasons... Anyway, Mayuyu... Yeah, I know about her a little. Don't know much like how she is and what she likes and what not. Anyway, isn't she called Ramimi in the sports and showbiz board of 2ch? What do you find attractive about Ramimi?
>>696 I don't think Mayuyu looks like Ramirez. I think anyone who calls her Ramimi is anti-AKB or anti-Mayuyu. Her attractive is very good looking,smile,voice and character.
>>697 I don't know about her character. She's nice at least in public, huh? And each person has their tastes for looks, so I don't say anything against your opinion about that.
AKB freaks tend to get their CDs more than one everytime their CDs comes out. You? I can't believe 1 million copies of their recently released single CD were sold within the day it's sold.
As I mention above URL, the fruit burger was so fuckin' bad taste! Mango in the burger kills the deliciousness of the burger. I should've chosen another burger...
I think this fruit burger will be the worst food I ate in this year.
>>729 What kind of guy do you like? Macho guy? Smart guy? Bespectacled guy? What if some boy, who also like boys, ask you out? Do you accept him? Or do you ruthlessly turn him down?

>>755 I'm afraid I'm no fan of either of the teams, but if I have to choose, Dragons. It's because Soft Bank is considered to win. I tend to be in favor of weak teams because of financial power.
Speaking of which, where has Riah Dizon gone? I know she got a divorce but then what? Is she not active in the show biz world because she had a baby? No more semi nude shots?
>>760 ttp://ameblo.jp/leahdizon/ This is her official blog, but it seems to be stopped now. The last update was on August 25th. Anyway, according to it, she's been attending school for acting. She'll be back as an actress, I guess.
I'm a foreigner currently living in Japan teaching English, and I dearly wish that my students had English ability half as good as most of this thread.
>>776 well, but if they can speak Japanese as well, their students will rely on their Japanese and they won't improve their English so much. The reason why I could improve my English a lot when I was in the US is because nobody around me could speak Japanese.
But if they live in Japane, I want them to lean Japanese, though.
I can speak some Japanese, conversational, but my grammar is very bad. I've only lived here about 4 or 5 months. Even so, I rarely if ever speak to kids in Japanese. I'm here as an English teacher (well, ALT so not a "real" teacher - I only ever do team teaching with a Japanese teacher) I know enough Japanese, for instance, to read and understand the worksheets the students get, and help with it. I probably couldn't write this post in Japanese perfectly, though.
I really, really want to learn Japanese properly, though.
>>778 maybe 2ch can help you out. but if you learn Japanese here, I'm sure your Japanese will be fucked up.lol so the best way to improve your Japanese I think is to hang out with Japanese people a lot, ofcource in Japanese. It's gonna take a lot of time until your Japanese will get fluent, but it's worth trying. That's what I did when I was in America. I hope you enjoy living in this country by the way.
I work with Japanese people, all the teachers around me are Japanese, and I live in the middle of the Inaka. 2ch Japanese... well, would probably help me pick up slang or something at least. I do read 2ch, but rarely try to post anything.
BTW do any native speakers here use a 2ch browser like Jane, BB2C, 2cmate, stuff like that? If you don't, just google those words and they will help you a lot when you wanna check this thread or post something.
>>783 Personally, I don't see how living here and not speaking Japanese could be possible. If I couldn't speak any, I don't think I'd be able to talk to anyone here. The area I live in has very, very few English speakers.
>>787 Sometimes, but I also find it fun and good for learning the language. I have my computer, games, internet etc. here so it's not like I'm completely isolated. I'm also about an hour's drive away from a couple of big cities, so again not completely alone.
I grew up and lived in a very rural place for a long time, so I am used to the countryside I suppose. I'm really enjoying living here so far.
>>780 Please be carefull. Most 2ch ONLINE users are rather an aggressive than OFFLINE. I'm worry about you why you may become to dislike japanese then you saw it. Nowadays almost japanese are going to be very nervous for some reason toward media, government, society, and each other like U.K. and U.S. protestants. 2ch is just such a place they outburst their frustration. I'm sorry I'm so a negative. But I believe almost OFFLINE japanese is very good person. I guess You could build a good relationship with your locals.
>>793 >>796 Don't worry. I know most people that post aggressive comments will be nothing like that offline. It's the same with 4chan for English speakers, everyone complains, moans and swears when they are online, most people will be nicer offline.
Thank you for the warning!
I have noticed that a lot of students are very nervous about talking to me. For example, one girl ran away whenever I tried to speak to her. I asked a teacher and a couple of students why, they said it was because she was scared she couldn't talk to me at all. Passed her in school one day and said 「やあ、元気?」 and ever since she's been great to talk to. She really wants to learn English properly and was embarrassed because she didn't think she was good at it at all.
If anyone is a school student, and has a foreign teacher for English, please talk to them! Don't be afraid, embarrassed or whatever!
I don't think I'd ever laugh at someone's English if it isn't their native language I certainly would never laugh at a students, I encourage them as much as possible to speak even if they do make mistakes.
Being able to communicate is better than being perfectly grammatically correct.
>>798 I could picture out very clearly your circumstance as you say. If I was her, I guess I also would behave same. :-) Most japanese are very shy. But also they are very sensitive. These are Japanese instinctive ability.
How about do you play some sports with them? Body language is a common language!
How do English speakers get general information? I mean, what kind of websites do you often check? I've heard that Yahoo! is no longer popular and nobody sees it. So I'm just curious.
Google is the main search engine. Even non computer users use the word "google" as a verb, as in "If you don't know, google it" I don't think many people use Yahoo at all anymore. Google, sometimes bing, are the main ones. Wikipedia is also used a lot, especially by students.
Facebook is the main social network.
What sites do people use in Japan for information? I'm very much used to the "English Internet".
I am amazed lots of foreigners can speak Japanese so fluently nowadays. Even though they have never been to Japan. They teach themselves, and learn almost perfectly within only few years. I think many OTAKU things motivate them to do it.
>>816 it's almost like the same with Japanese people except most of people use twitter rather than Facebook these days. and especially here we use 2ch I guess.
So, you don't have any sites that you subscribe everyday? You use google and wikipedia only when you want to know a particular thing right? There's supposed to be something that you always check to know what's happening in your country or around the world.
I used to check hatenabookmark(kind of like Digg) frequently, but not these days cause they pick up so many 2ch blogs that the owners of those blogs edit the posts to attract readers so they can earn money by affiliate. So I usually use 2ch. I know it's not the best choice, though. But I guess many Japanese people still use Yahoo.
>>766 Mr-Ume-Chirudren... ミスチル、the famous band?Ume+Chi=Umechi but where does "Ume" come from? Ume here means to post until the number of posts in a thread reaches 1000 post?
>>816 As >>818 says, Yahoo.co.jp (Yahoo Japan) has the most used search engine in Japan. Internet savvy Japanese people use Google because it's better, but still, average Internet user here use Yahooo. One source says Yahoo's share is 50.4% followed by Google 39.6% as of Feburary. (I heard Yahoo uses the same algorithm as Google because yahoo bought it from google a while back so the search reulsts are the same now both on Yahoo Japan and Google.)
The reason for that is Yahoo japan start's its business earlier in Japan than Google and has held advantages ever since. Yahoo U.S. is in trouble financially and there's rumer to be sold to other Internet company like Microsoft but Yahoo Japan is a different story. Yahoo (U.S) has a share of Yahoo Japan but just small share and most of Yahoo Japan's share is owned by Softbank. So Yahoo U.S. and Yahoo Japan is two different things. Yahoo Japan's business has been doing well since it's start, diwhile Yahoo U.S. has lost momentum amd is out of spotlight.
Facebook is getting popular here but still in Japan Mixi (japanese SNS) had more members, about 4 times as many as Facebook, I guess. In Mixi, you don't have to use your real name and so far, showing real name is less common in Japan than U.S.
>>818 >but not these days cause they pick up so many 2ch blogs that the owners of those blogs edit the posts to attract readers so they can earn money by affiliate.
Let me confirm... I sometimes read such blogs, but just visiting those blogs and reading entries there doesn't help them earn money, right? If I click a link there and bought something, then they earn affiliate money, right?
>>825 basically no if you just visit there without clicking those ads, no money goes to the owner I guess but there are many kinds of affiliate so I'm not pretty sure
>>823 yes you're right and let me add another reason why people still use Yahoo some Japanese computer makers or providers(I'm not sure which one) set Yahoo as a home website of IE so it's a default setting and the point is many Japanese people don't know how to change it.lol that's why they keep using it that's what I heard but Yahoo Japan is actually not that bad, though I was very surprised when I opend Yahoo.com for the first time cause it really sucks compared to Japanese one so as you say, they are totally different
I don't like Facebook. Because Facebook is a place where your offline life ie) your real life is reflected there. The more your real life is fun, the more you enjoy Facebook.
I have no friends but I can enjoy 2ch because everybody, no matter if you have friends or not, can enjoy it. Famouse people, people with social status, unemployed people, people with less income, are all equal in 2ch. But I can't enjoy facebook because there's no point in using it when I have no friends and when my life is full of emptiness. In Facebook, your social status and how you live in real life is mirrored there, and that's what I don't like about it.
So everytime I hear the news Facebook is getting popular in Japan, I feel very sad and disappointed. If it becomes norm to have Facebook account in Japan, like it has already in America, I would feel miserable. If you don't use Facebook in America, or UK and other western countries, it's almost as if you don't have your home on the Internet... You are virtually homeless on the Internet.
I'm already feel miserable in real life, so don't let me feel the same even online as having Facebook account becomes the norm in Japan. I don't want a future in which if you don't have your Facebook account, you are considered a wierd person. I was wondering how people in america who has no friends feel in a situation where everybody uses Facebool. If I lived in America, I would feel even more miserable...
Even in Japanese Internet, more and more webisites beginning to have "like" button. What the heck, that's the sure sign that Facebook is becoming more and more popular. I feel terrible every time I see "like" button on a Japanese website I happen to visit. I really don't want Facebook to be popular in Japan.
>>832 Don't worry dude we are with you. I know what you are saying. Face book is for people who can probably enjoy their lives even without using the internet right? I don't say that that is a bad thing but the internet is supposed to have something that we can never do in that real world. That's why I love being here. I don't know who you are and you don't know who I am but we can communicate with each other having fun and get a lot of information. Don't say that I just envy people like Riaju.lol Yes, they can call me weird Otaku, but who fucking cares that? They can't fuck with us here! :) Pardon my French.lol
In any case, >>832 I'm what you would call a geek/nerd as well. My social life outside of home is very low. I do like to use Facebook to keep in touch with old friends and family, though. It's nice to get updates from people I thought I'd never get to hear from again.
Of course, this is only possible because everyone has Facebook. So if you don't know anyone who uses Facebook, there's no good reason to use it... I do have some friends who avoid it at all costs.
At there, I met some "atamen"(who tweet their gag to #atakowa, made by Kamon on twitter), They said to me"Wow, you're really young...", becauise I often tweet parody songs of old days.
>>838 I see. I guess you will probably get interested in Johnney's talents or some visual kei band members.. What about Bou, one of the previous & original members of a visual kei band called An Cafe? He looked quite like a girl, but actually a boy - the one that you yourself might be aiming to be like. Just search on YT.
Softbank Hawks won in Nippon series. They were truely strong this year. But Wada and Sugiuchi will disappear from the team next year. Our fighters' turn!
>>867 Nope. That's just misunderstanding. Ichiro has employed interpreters in case he was misunderstood. In fact, he appeared in an interview show in a news program broadcast probably only in Seattle and you can watch it on youtube.
We don't actually adjust the watch itself. Some company does have the Daylight Saving Time. They have their employees come to work one hour earlier. However the employees do their job until the same time as without the DST. They simply have to work longer LOL
Japanese girls are usually bitches. If you are a foreigner, there is no problem. So all you have to do is just being a foreigner in front of Japanese girls. And hopefully they will be like "look! There is a gaijin! He speaks English! So cool! Fuck me!" Give it a try.
>>878 Considering 99.9% of people on 2ch are Japanese, I feel bad now :(
>>847 Well, at least I look foreign. Very pale, bright red hair and blue eyes. I don't look Japanese at all. It's always hilarious when a student (or, anyone) suddenly sits infront of me, puts their face a few inches from mine and shouts "目が青い!"
>>885 That the white liquid that comes in a packet you boil, and put other things in? If so I love that stuff. Or does "naba party" mean something else?
>>886 What you are thinking is basically correct. It's not necessarily white, though. It depends on what kind of flavor you like so it could be something else. But generally we stuff some meat with lots of vegetables. That's common. I guess what you tried is soy milk taste one. Nabe party is a party that you gather around one nabe with your friends or family and eat it tohether. This is what we often do during winter. I'm glad to hear you like it!
Hi people. I heard there were riots in london in august. Did Igirisujin say anything about it? Also in America someting is happning. Occupy walls. What is that.
>>891 I'm from the UK originally, but from Scotland rather than london (aka, way up north). The London riots were appalling behaviour from a very small minority. The story was that there was a "peaceful" protest about something. A police officer got stabbed, and there was a shooting - this started rioting. Most people didn't even know why there was a riot, and were just joining in because they thought it was fun or something.
Absolutely retarded. Please don't think that behaviour represents all of the UK, it is ONLY a very small minority.
The Occupy Wall Street protests are against the poor distribution of wealth in America - 1% of the population has 99% of the money.
>>893 Scotland is cool. Do Scottish people call themselves British? or Scottish? A few years ago, there was a Scotland Guy in this thread and he was talking about Scotland's independence from the Uk, or something like that.
>>895 By nationality, Scottish people are British. On my passport, it says that I'm British. The UK is a funny one because it's a group of separate counties that were unified under a single crown, as a single country. The separate country borders still exist (Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland) and their people carry titles (Scottish, English, etc) but we're all officially "British".
I consider myself Scottish and British. If someone asks "Are you from England?" I'd say I'm from the UK, yes, but I'm scottish.
How does Japan separate the counties? Does イギリス mean England specifically, or all of the UK?
>>894 Oh, you live there? So what do you think about it? Do you support the demonstration? I heard that most of people who live around Wall Street got so tired of those people who still go on that demonstration.
>>898 I guess most japanese people don't know Scotland and Wales and the northern Ireland are also Igirisu.. My mum just knew about it after I moved in London.
>>900 Of course not. I was scared and stay inside But joined the protest for tuition fee. I don't want the government allow only wealthy students earn education even though they will pay in the future
>>903 The IRA still occasional appear on the news, but they aren't really many problems in Scotland to do with them. The problem is worse in Ireland though, but again not as bad as it once was. Still not allowed bins in trains stations just incase they do something, though.
Also, I'm scottish and freely say Scottish independence will be a very, very bad thing. It's a small country with a small, ageing population and limited industries left. It couldn't support itself independently. Would be like if Okinawa or Hokkaido decided that they wanted to become a separate country to Japan. Probably couldn't happen.
>>898 Igirisu means all of the UK. England is Ingurando. But, like 901 said, we are pretty ignorant about it and many people probably don't know the difference between Igirisu (the UK) and England.
My favorite place is Kanagawa. It's not that far from Tokyo so it's kind of easy to access. And there are many places worth visiting like Yokohama, Kamakura, and Hakone. If you like Onsen, you should visit Hakone.
>>911 The other day, I felt something weird on my ass after taking a shit. It was like, something hanging out of my ass, though I had already finished having a shit. Then I pulled it with toilet paper out of my ass, and looked at it. It looked like a narrow strip, was ten-centimeter long, and had many joints at regular short intervals . I think it must have been a tapeworm, some of which have a very long body that is over ten meter. So I guess what I pulled out was only a part of the entire body.
i watched this video the other day, where our prime minister was getting scolded by a man called nishida. our prime minister was getting scolded like a fat ass asshole elementary kid getting scloded by a teacher. he looked fuckin miserable like a fat ass asshole kid getting scloded by a teacher for being a slow thick fat ass asshole kid. it was fucking miserable. that miserable man is our prime minister.
did you know that former prime minister aso was an olympic rifle shooter? i didn't, until yesterday. he also speaks some english. he should shoot noda and become the next prime minister.
>>935 yes i did Aso was one of my favorite prime ministers. he did a great job to keep Japan alive through "lehman shock". he had a vision, which none of the DPJ tops seem to have. we need him badly now.
I didn't know that Alps Ichimanjaku was originally a famous American song called Yankee Doodle. The song is about yankees defeating the British and has nothing to do with mountains.
>>955 I`m glad to hear that, but be careful.... there are few the man who have the name that "BABA" IN REALITY in JPN. "giant baba" i think he is the most famous baba san.
Hi people. Eat baba and die. Kansaijins are stupid. What is baba? Why does baba mean shit? It is not japanese. It is dierty kansai language. Stop spreading that low-class baba language to the rest of Japan.
Since I was born in Tokyo and spent most of my life there, I didn't know that Baba means such kind of stuff. I guess few people in Kanto know what that means.
recently i tried talking to her in a campus (we are a student in the same univ) for the first time from breaking around four months ago. but her attitude toward me was like a thing which i think should be targetted at trash,,, a hating something,,, so shocked at that to make my mouth shutter completely what i could do was seeing off her to fade out from my sight. it would be a little happy in unhappiness for us to be a seperate place not enabling to see each other from now on for our life to die but the same school and class make it unavoidable my thought is that i shouldnt do anything to be a bather on her, including my exsistence within her scope,,, im hated such a level i think so i now have no idea what to do, how to deal with the situation,,,plz help me
