-- A conversation with my girlfriend while watching TV.....
Me: Hey, that's Gotoh Maki, isn't it?
Her: Yeah, do you know her?
Me: Not really. I just read the name kanji. ...But, she used to be a member of Morning Musume, didn't she?
Her: Yeah, that's right. A few years back.
Me: ...Why the fuck do I know that?
Her: Your transformation into a Japanese person is coming along nicely. ...There there, you don't have to cry.
Me: ...Yes I do.
