I answer anything＾＾
What do you think is the best thing about Japanese culture?
Why is living in Tokyo so god damn expensive?
Why is it that Japanese people can draw manga-style easily, but Americans can never get the hang of it?
hi
i am also a japanese. so i anwer your questions.
>>2 japanese fooooood.it is the best food. cities are safe and clean. off course, comics are cool.(^-^)v
>>3
sorry for that , but tokyo is easy to find a job. and you can get better payment than rural, on the other hand it means you need to pay more money than rural and to lend room is very expensive.
>>4
it depends on personal talent, i guess.
we japanese grow up with comics and even some adults love manga.
some of then are very good at stealing the technic and they establish original drawings.
東京ディズニーランドなのになんで千葉県にありますか。
I'm sorry the delay(＞＜)
I put up the theread.
>>2
I think that entertainment!
Japan has enhanced the game and the anima and the comic.
The culture that the adult can also enjoy is abundant.
>>3
In Tokyo, there are a lot of people who come from the provinces because there are a lot of companies.
Therefore, I think that the rent is high.
>>4
The Japanese sees the comic since I was a boy and has grown up.
They draw the picture of its character when he is small.
Especially, the girl loves the picture of girls' comics to be drawn.
I'm sorry English ..unskilled... (つω；｀)
Please question!(＾▽＾)
山手線は何故山に行かないのですか、教えてください。
What is your favourite comic??

Hello Japanese! I am happy Yankee!
Yo! I'm depressed Japonsky!
Do you like Final Fantasy? Finaly Fantasy IX is my favorite game!
I love Winning Eleven, too! Do you like?
Do you read Detroit Metal City?
I liked X, too. Yuna is really cute ~~~
What kinds of music do you like? I don't listen to Japanese music very much, but I like SOUL SCREAM, m-flo, Koda Kumi, ect. How about you?
メタルゲアソリッドガ好きですか.
Sorry about my bad Japanese. :////
>>18
I like Yuuna too(^▽^)
My favorite song is anime songs.
I like KOTOKO(≧▽≦)
However, I listen Japanese music.
I like Koda Kumi too.Her style is really shape(^^)b
>>19
English OK!!Your Japanese is very good(^^)
I have not played METALGEARSOLID.sorry…(´Д｀;)
My friend like this game very mach.
She is always speaking about it.
I also know a little!
Hello. how are you?
>>21
Fine Thank you(^^)
I want to question for American.
Person what percentage has a cellular phone?
I heard the other day that sixty percent of Americans have cell phones.
I have one, but I don't like it and don't use it often.
Hello Japanese!
Japaneseさんの英語は上手ですよ。^^
I wish that I could say the same for my Japanese -_-;
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m4021/is_2_25/ai_97818962/print
Yes, it is somewhere around 60 or 70 percent.
I have a question. You've probably heard of ハーッドゲイ, right?
I've seen a few parts of his show. It was very funny, although most Americans would be a little confused, wwwww. Is he as popular in Japan as he seems to be?
And one more, although I hope I'm not asking too many questions. Have you ever been in 東北? Maybe Sendai? I would like to go there some day. What do you think of the place?
What kind of computer do you use?
（´・ω・｀) 東京付近の海辺に行きたいんですが、どこがいいですか。
>>23
Thank you for answering!!
Japan is 80～90 percent. This result is unexpected!!(゜□゜；)
I like personal computers better than cellular phones(^^)
>>24
Thank you for answering!!
ハードゲイ, He is not popular though he is famous in Japan.
Especially, the adult dislikes him.
I do not like him so much.
I went to 東北 in the school excursion.
Tohoku is a calm, good place. It is cold in winter there.
I prayed that you be able to enjoy!!!(≧▽≦)

why all japanese MAN ARE pedos :'(
How do you type in Japanese?
I don't think all Japanese men are pedophiles. It's only in Anime, right?

I would Love to learn Japanese, but how do you type in Japanese?
Have you played ロコロコ/ＬＯＣＯＲＯＣＯ? Do you like it?
>>28
What is pedos?(´Д｀)
I fully have the English word doesn't know(ノд｀。)
>>29
A Japanese man is serious.
The person who becomes crazy in the world of the anime is a part.
I think that the Japanese is withdrawing into one's own world.
Therefore, it is said it is obedient from foreign countries…(´へ｀)
The United States is wonderful because there are a lot of energetic people!!

I examined it.

Haruhi will be licensed at AX this year!
AX = Anime Expo in California.
I hope I can go to California and see the announcement.
Hehe, sorry, that was irrelevant to this thread.
1-san, what are your favorite anime? Do you prefer playing eroge to watching anime?
Hello!!people of the world!
Japan is tonight now.
It summers approaches!!
>>37
How you are envied with PSP!
I want to save up money(＾▽＾)
The game that you introduced is very wonderful!
CG of the game is very real and cool.
I regret that there is no Japanese…(ＴДＴ)
>>38
Is 'HARUHI' that you say 'Melancholy of HARUHI SUZUMIYA '?
If it is the anime, I am loved!
The anime becomes popular very much in Japan^^
I think there is an event of the animated cartoon in California to be wonderful.
I am wishing that you can enjoy the event!!
>>39
A favorite anime cartoon is'GINTAMA'(〃▽〃)
It is a SAMURAI anime that started in April.
It is made English, the title is a meaning of silversoul.
(silver=Name English of hero)(Hero's name=GIN-san)
I have not had the Eroge…(´Д｀)
I'm sorry my English ..unskilled... (；´Д｀)

Turns out I won't go to California.
The airplane tickets are too expensive.
Anime conventions in the USA are much different from Japan-- you can't just take the train across the country! It's too large!
So, there are dozens of different events in different places.
If I lived in Japan I would go to Comiket every time.
But then again, I would probably go to Akihabara every day anyway!
ゲーマーズ... a paradise!
43-san, you can take the train across the US.
It will take several days, however. >_<;
Hello, >>1-san.
Which company do you prefer; Nintendo or Sony?

Japan is a midsummer day today.
However, I stop away from school and am doing the Internet(´ｰ`)y-~~

The United States is 25 times Japan.
I think the not more imaginable it of me is, the wider!
I regret the thing that you cannot go to California.
If you are Otaku, Japan might be comfortable for you.
Otaku gathers from a Japanese inside in Comike.
Moreover, the event such as cosplay has been held Japanese the inside everywhere on the weekend!
There is 20,000 person or more cosplayer in Japan!!

Can you explain what is the Japan Common Knowledge Power Test Association shown in this picture? http://shanachan.konosutekinabasho.net/v/src/1151465757373.gif
Hello!!people of the world!

>>47
I am Otaku a little!!
I understand what Otaku says.
I might be Otaku possibly…Σ(゜Д゜|||)
>>48
This problem is very difficult(´-ω-`)
Q.29→A.D
Q.30→A.2
I am confident of the answer of Q.29!!
If the disaster comes, an important guest sits on a seat that is the nearest
the door so that it to be easy run away.
I'm sorry my English ..unskilled... (；´Д｀)
>>49
Thank you for your answer. I was hoping you could help me find information about this mysterious "Japan Common Knowledge Power Test Association". Is it not well known in Japan?
To be truthful, I've never heard of JCKPT. Not well known is too beside the point a word is. It's obscure, I'd say.
I can find many artworks and mangas that are related NAZI and German army in WW2
NAZI is accepted in Japan? what about their crimes they had committed?
>>52
It's because it's on the Internet.
You wouldn't see these drawings on the street.
How long would it take to travel from Tokyo to Hokkaido, using a bicycle?
it must take from 10 days to 2 weeks. but take care not to make a mistake that to go on the Route 6. your lungs must turm bluck with the diesel exhaust gus.

In Japan, the game that strengthens the brain becomes popular.
This becomes popular very much.
>>51
Thank you for a polite answer^^
>>52
There is no mangas that affirms Nazi as long as I know.
There might possibly be a mangas that denies Nazi.
However, because the mangas is free, it cannot be managed.
There is no religion in the mangas.

What does "street" of this sentence mean?(´Д｀)

It is very serious.
It will take one month to do it＼(;´□｀)/

Hello. I have been corresponding by email with a beautiful Japanese woman for four years now. I would like to meet her, but in my current job I work 50-60 hour weeks and am on call 24/7. No vacation time is available.
If I had a job teaching English in Japan, this would allow me to meet her. But I have no college degree. Please tell me, is it possible to teach English in Japan without a college degree?

A special qualification is necessary for you if it teaches in the junior high school and the high school in Japan.
There is an English conversation school besides those schools.
However, the qualification is necessary for it.
The qualification such as TEFL TESOL CELTA is necessary for teaching at other English conversation schools.
I doesn't know whether a large academic background is necessary to take the qualification.
I think that only has to invite her to your country.

The score is performed by using the keyboard of the touch screen along the music score displayed on the display screen.
There are number of tunes of about two months.
To our regret, it is put on the market only in Japan.

Question for anyone:
In anime/manga I often see small characters pop out of fruit or balls and start doing a belly dance. Where did it originate from? I see it a lot... maybe it's not even of Japanese orgin.
Example: http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=7/18422265090.jpg&s=f10 Second panel down on the right.

It is Sazae-san as said >>77san.
Sazae-san's character begins to dance from among the fruit at ending song.
It is mimicked by other cartoons.
By the way, Sazae-san is an anime broadcast longest in Japan^^

Oh, and you don't have to apologize for your English. We get it, it's not perfect, still, it's much better than any average Japanese.
ＩＤは下げるとＨｅａｖｅｎになります。
We Japanese always apologize before we do something.

And I also love English literature.

Watching Yawnful TV is not good.

2,I like China!Because China is delicious the dish.
I am not a hypocrite.I doesn't know the history in detail^^;
3,I think that buy the textbook as >>89!!
I heard that Japanese is very difficult(It is not actually felt that I speaks^^)Do your best!!!
I'm sorry my English ..unskilled... (；´Д｀)
Saataaandagi taste like doughnuts.
It's dry but sweet. It's so delicious.
Saataaandagi is also known as sugar tempura.
You can eat Saataaandagi in Okinawa or Okinawa restaurants.
It isn't a Japanese food, but an Okinawan traditional food.
So, most of Japanese who have never been to Okinawa or its restaurants don't know it.
You watched AzumangaDaiou, don't you?
I like this anime and manga very much!

Aaag! right now it's almost 1 A.M and i cant think of anything to ask you!!! ( >Α<)
I think it isnt important but i want to somehow present myself
I'm 18 years old and I study in one of Madrid's universities, in Spain. if you want to ask me something you can too! i would be honored!
I have always wanted to make friends from japan, so when i saw this thread i was so happy!
Please, let me ask questions to you too! And i'm sorry if my english is too hard to read, i'm not very good either...
Well, let me ask some questions!
When i visited japoan, in narita (?) airport one of the girls showed us the way to our bus and when she went out of the bouilding she turned around to me and said "あつい～～！" smiling! I was shocked! I thought japanese people was very diferent to what mangas usualy show, but that definitely a manga reaction!
Do japanese people act like manga characters in some way or another?
And another one:
Why do almost all japanese girls have such a sweet voice? Or its only sweet to us the spanish?
（ ～ω～） It was so great～
Thank you for your time!
眼謝について意見は？
What is gansya ?
I'm a Japanese ,but I've never heard such a Japanese word ?
probably,it's a sort of filthy word that is used by a pervert

>>96
a sweet voice ? Oh, I see .
We call them gurriko..ぶっりっ子
ぶっりっ子means pretend to be cute or something,,,it is so difficult to explain.
the word is derived from a female Japanese pop singer,Seiko
Matsuda. She was at her best in 1970's
when she was singing her song at that time,she often winked away as if she coqueted with men.
so we called her カワイ子ぶりっ子back then.
カワイ子means cute,prrtty,etc.
and generally speaking,japanese girls tend to be ぶっり子
You know ,they are so self-conscious.
>>100
LOL How old are you!? Must be more than 35.
I haven't heard the dead word "ぶりっ子" for about 20 years.
>>96
Japanese has pitch accent.
We regard high-pitched accent as polite in unconsciousness.
When Japanese women talk on phone, they talk on deadly high-pitched accent.
They think it polite and it make themselves more charming.
Even when men talk on phone with their superior, you can hear they talk high-pitched.
It made you tempted, I think.
But gaijin who don't like Japanese regard it as childish or unnatural.
http://www.jliu.org/CAJLE/cajle_essay-1.htm
This article will give you more explanation about it.
>>60
hi, Do you still check this thread?
i worked for an English education company.
so i know how a japanese company employs a native english teacher.
first, we prefer someone who has a proper VISA.
if you can get working holiday Visa, at least you can work more than 6 monthes.
some japanese company alwasy seeks native english teacher and basecally your payment will be expensive than japanese people.
but after the end of your working Visa you have to find how to make your Visa longer.
if you graduated a two/fore year college, you still have the chance. the company will arrenge for you.
but if you didn't , unfortunately to renew your Visa is impossible.
the exceptions are to get married with a japanese , become a japanese learning student or to find the other way, and continue to work for the english school more than 3 years. then you will be treated as an expert and the company can provide Visa.
good luck.
>>106
that is true.
but to seek jobs by traveler's Visa is nonsense.
because you cannot get foreigner's ID and that means you canot open your bank account in japan.
so working holiday Visa is the best.
if you have fore year college's degree or three years exprience as an english teacher,the japanese immigration bureau gives employee's Visa.
but the japanese immigration bureau is very strict and live in a foreign country is also hard. so you need to decide very carefully.
quick question what is the difference between:
arigatou gozaimasu
arigatou gozaimashita
domo arigatou
?
1 arigatou gozaimasu
2 arigatou gpozaimasita
3 domo arigatou
1 and 2 are more polite expressions than 3
because gozaimasu is a honorific word.
gozaimasu is present tense and gogaimasita is past tense.
but I think you can use both expressions in the same situation.
I'm a typical Japanese ,so believe me ! lol
arigatou gozaimasu
Thank you に過去形はあるのですか？
>>112
I'd like to ask you a question adversely.
If you come across the person who helped you in the past,
What would you say to him/her in English ?
We Japanese say "その節はお世話になりました”
Sorry for my poor English !
correction
その節はお世話になり、有難うございました。
>>114
I dont understand waht does that mean but...
If he helped not long ago you could say
"thank you for helping me (yesterday,this morning...), if i can help you in something, please let me how."
If he helped you a long time ago in something very important you just could thank him, i dont think there is a way to talk with somebody like japanese do
Anyway, wait for a true english speaker to answer your questions
>>114
I'd most likely say something like "Thanks for the help yesterday/this morning" (just put when they helped you), or you could say "Thanks a lot for helping me yesterday/this morning", or if you want to go a bit british, "Thanks mate for the help before/yesterday/this morning" etc etc etc.
その節はお世話になり、有難うございました。
My japanese is bad, so I use Rikaichan and my basic understanding of Japanese grammer. to me, if I translated that, it would say:
"Thank you for looking after me that time".
その文に「なり」何意味ですか？ (Is this correct?)
If that is right: What does "Nari" mean in this sentence?
>>115
What he said is good, but with the correction of the mistakes:
"Thank you for helping me yesterday/this morning, if there is anything that I can help with, please let me know", which to me is formal, unformal could be:
"Thanks for helpin' me yesterday/this morning, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know!"
Hope that helps you :)
「べらせて」は何ですか？
>>118
Let me french kiss you.かな？
>>117
With my English ability,It's very tough to explain to you about "nari"
osewa suru is active voice
osewa ni naru is passive voice
and nari is a variation of naru.
Wow,I give up ! I can't tell you exactly what I want to say.
P.S.
You're right.My Japanese sentences is equal to your translation:Thank you for looking after me that time.
But take a look at 110 which is my posting.
>>118
文の構造を読み取るときに「はべらせて」を「は」＋「べらせて」としちゃってない？
Don't you consider はべらせて as は + べらせて ?
もしそうなら、「はべる」を辞典で引くべし。
If you do, look はべる up in a dictionary.
「はべらせる」＝「はべら」＋「せる」だと思う（文法の授業で寝てたせいか自信がもてない）。
I think はべらせる = はべら + せる. (I'm not sure. Perhaps that's because I've slept in the grammer classes.)
俺にもしゃべらせて。
自分で調べらせて。
does 聞きますか make sense?
>>125
It makes sense but it probably doesn't mean what you want it to mean. If you want "Can you hear me?" that's 聞こえますか
聞きますか means "Do you hear ○○?".It's formal.
polite お聞きになられますか?
spoken 聞く？
samurai 聞かれるか？
ojousama お聞きになられるかしら？
tsundere いやよ！で、でもあんたがどうしてもっていうなら聞かせてやらないこともないんだからね!

Waiting for your answers greetings from sunny メキシコ

I wanna get married to you !
I don't want to talk with anyone who insists "I have samurai spirit", seeeriously.
>>134
That's none of your business.
I want to talk with gata,not you.
I guess she likes samurai,so I just flatter her.
You are anything but a samurai...

what singers are popular now (male or female) in japan?
i also like hanaregumi 「ハナレグミ」 but is he popular in japan?

I have a question.
why is every japanese show on TV based around food and if you win you get to eat food. It's always about food XD
>>158
You misused a particle is all. Its a very common mistake.
You said こんいちわ。
Correct spelling: こんにちは
Become a Japanese citizen
Can anyone help me know how to become a Citizen? im a perminant resident in US and Citizen in Mexico.
>>164
I guess they can get high viewing rate.
Japanese people are obsessed with food.
P.S.
Have you ever watched a TV program called "dochino ryouri show" ?
It's a typical and trashy program .
Are you planning to buy any of the new game systems?

Please can you explain me what is the difference between ごめんなさい and すみません ?
Who are you ?
I don't think you're a native English speaker.
because you made a mistake about how to use the verb "explain".
Although I'm Japanese,it's a very difficult question.
because I've never thought about such a thing until now.
Let me think it over and I'll definitely tell you something about it later.
In my opinion,......
I'm french so sorry for my poor english.
Hi, nice to talk with you.
Don't you think it's a good idea to try to examine the situations how both of them are used ?
First, when you ask me to do something,you can use both ごめんなさい and すみません.
To give an example,
ごめんなさい、そこのコップをとってくれますか
すみません、そこのコップをとってくれますか
Second,when you have to apologize to me,you can use both ごめんなさい and すみません.
To give an example,
ごめんなさい、もうしわけないです。
すみません、もうしわけないです。
Sorry,I'm a bit tired. So Let's call it a day.
I'll be back here tomorrow.

What are you doing now ?
How come you named yourself にゅう？
who is nevada-tan?
I have 2 questions:
do you have four seasons in your country?
can you use chopsticks?
nevada-tanなんてwikipediaに書いていいのかよ
不謹慎だし日本人は殺人者擁護してるみたいじゃないか
>Can I write in the nevada-tan entry of wikipedia?
Of course.
"Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit."
Wikipedia, the free 'encyclopedia' that any fucknut can edit...but most likely any edit you do will be reverted by the god of that particular article...I recommend human sacrifice to solve that problem.
>>189
I see nobody in the discussion page of the Nevada-tan entry, there isn't even a discussion page. I doubt it has a god overlooking it any more...
OTOH I see that the Japanese wiki version has been so often attacked it's now in locked mode:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%95%B7%E5%B4%8E%E5%B0%8F6%E5%A5%B3%E5%85%90%E5%90%8C%E7%B4%9A%E7%94%9F%E6%AE%BA%E5%AE%B3%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6
Now that one would be quite a task to write something in. :)
People are always trying to reveal her real name, which can still be found if you really look hard enough.
What's that?
I am a Japanese.
Please teach a popular presentation version in U.S.A.
あけましておめでとうございます。
do you have four seasons in your country?
yes,you can see sakura only in spring!
many american dont know it.
can you use chopsticks?
yes,everybody use it"hashi"
>>196
do you know what "sarcasm" is?
I have another one!
Did you know that type "A" blood is most common in Japan and Germany, while type "O" blood is most common in United States?
おいおまいら、おすすめのエロゲ教えろよ
Sarcasm is not a big thing in Japan, actually. They don't use sarcasm a lot to answer or make a point.
>>198
So what ?
Are you a sort of person who believe fortunetelling by using types of blood ?
I believe fortunes by spinning a wheel.
Can I buy a vowel?
>>201 I think not. But if I remember correctly, I am type AB, which are supposed to be:
cool
controlled
rational
sociable
popular
critical
sometimes standoffish
indecisive
So maybe I should because that does describe me most of the time. I was just being the "sometimes standoffish" then. :)
I have a serious question, though. I am 21 years old, and I wonder who Japanese girls that are my age tend to like as far as music.

Why do I see more Caucasian male/ Japanese female couples than Japanese male/ Caucasian female ones?
public display of affection is unmentionable in JPN
> public display of affection is unmentionable in JPN
How old are you ?
I always see lots of couples hagging or kissing on the train
almost every day.
>>212
May be Japanese males are shy and not confident in themseves.
lol
yes,we can see them very often.
Ahh, unfortunately, my Japanese skill is not good enough to say this...and it's kind of controversial...a lot of Caucasian people might get offended...
Relationships and sex are one of the playing fields that race is played out upon. Caucasian, or white colonialism in Asia and elsewhere in the world puts them on top, in control of the region, for example, like in China before WWII, Shanghai was divided up into districts for the French, British, Japanese and Americans, who had economic power there because of China's colonialism. However, colonialism reflects itself in the minds of the people too. Caucasian men find foreign women exotic, and exciting, and in some case, see them as subjects (like in a colony), as submissive and obedient. Caucasian women on the other hand, often see foreign men as less than Caucasian men. Like in a colony, they see foreign men as submissive and weak, and not attractive. So Caucasian women don't find foreign men attractive. On the other side of the issue, Caucasian men are often powerful, have lots of money and so on, so ambitious foreign women often are attracted to Caucasian men. In nations with lots of Caucasian people, the television and media make Caucasian men the default manly standard, so especially Asian girls here see Caucasian men as the default for manliness, rather than Asian men. When you turn on the TV, you see lots of Caucasian males doing the heroic roles. However, the number of Asian men are few. Many Asians tend to play villain roles, or weak roles.

>>1 I have one. How hard is to find job in Japan if I'm from middle Europe country (Slovakia) and my Japanese is not very good (for now because I only started ^_^)? What I need to do or to have for find good job (not garbageman :))?
>>217
Interesting view you have there. I've visited Japan twice and the impression that I obtained from the female teens of densely populated areas is that they viewed the ripped Caucasian blond male to be the image of manliness. When I was in Japan, there were numerous instances of Japanese male heros on tv (not including anime or any other kid's stuff). Also, there are those Japanese guys on the NBC show, Heroes.
>>219
It is not easy to find a job in Japan if you don't have any outstanding marketable skills. The only job I guess would be suitable is an English language teacher. You'd need qualifications if you wish to work as a sanitation engineer (garbageman).
When I visited Japan, I had no intention of finding a job or living there and I simulated what I would have to do if I intended to live there. I found it to be not easy. It takes a lot of effort to live in Japan by yourself if you do not have prearranged accommodation.
If you truly desire to live in Japan, I'd highly recommend you do some serious study into the language as well as the culture. I've been studying the language for some time now. I can easily read a Japanese newspaper and communicate fluently with any Japanese person but I still find it too risky to live in Japan for any length of time.
>>223 I just want to be with my girl in her homeland and to be useful. And from your answer it looks like impossible task. Is there for example PHP development skills valuable commodity or not? Can I work as web developer or maybe my 3d graphic skills will be good enough. I don't understand why is so hard to find normal job in Japan for "gajin"?
Why do Japanese speakers, when typing English, use so many line breaks? It's really odd. Compare, say >>93 to >>223 .
Also, do you think it would be useful to learn Japanese in college? Does Japan have a good job market for foreign computer science people? My impression is that Japan is too overcrowded and xenophobic to really support a lot of foreign workers. Or do you think it's useful enough just to have for business over here, even though I wouldn't be the guy who talks to foreign customers?
Currently I'm planning to take Chinese because China is becoming so economically important now, but I don't really like the way it sounds. Of course, that may have something to do with being exposed mostly only to Pinyin and romaji, and romaji looks prettier. I don't know a whole lot about the actual phonetics, other than that spoken Chinese doesn't really look like the Pinyin.
Sorry for tl;dr post.
>>225
I suggest that you go to India. They speak English and there are a lot of IT jobs :)
English doesn't really fill my college's foreign language requirement. And they don't offer Hindi.
>>227
Before making the insulting remarks that the Japanese are xenophobic and that Chinese doesn't sound nice, learn the reality that college classes you take only to meet your school's requirements don't mean a thing when it comes to job hunting. This is not the place where you discuss what classes you should take. Instead, talk to your academic adviser.
>>229
Why not learn some more English, and come to a nice country like America? The US is a nice place, and you can get fresh fruit here for affordable prices!
>>230 Sorry but US is not for me (I don't like US, but this is only my opinion.). And by the way, what do you mean by this "fruity" sentence: "The US is a nice place, and you can get fresh fruit here for affordable prices!"?
We have a lot of places that grow fruit pretty much year-round (Florida and California) so it's cheap to buy because there are no tariffs on it or something. Same with whatever Mexico grows.
Apparently it costs more elsewhere in the world, and has to be shipped a long way so it doesn't taste as good.
>>233 I don't want to be offensive but why you are talking about fruit in this thread or board or chat or whatever? Is there something I say what makes you think that I need fruit or talk about fruit? I'm only looking for someone from Japan who can help me with job in Japan for foreigner. Is there someone (serious please)?

日本と韓国/北朝鮮/中国の間には、とても長くて複雑な関係があります。
ふたつの地域は本質的に対立する運命にありますので、
和解や友好は、成立しません（表面的には違いますが）。
我々は、現在、本当の戦争が発生していないことを、十分な幸運だと
考えるべきです。
もし、あなたが説明を求めるのなら、できるだけ簡単に表現することを
試みますが、必要ありませんね？
私達日本人は彼ら韓国人や中国人を貴方たちより良く知っています。
私達日本人は長い歴史の中で彼らと交流してきました。その上で私たちは
友好関係を築けないと思っているのです。かれら全てではありませんが、
彼らの基本的な考え方は彼らの国が世界の中心なのです。だから他の国は
なんでもいう事を聞かねばならないと彼らは思っています。そんな国と
仲良く出来ますか？なにも近くにある国、全てが仲が悪いわけではありません。台湾などは友好国です。彼らの性格は韓国などとは真逆です。
韓国や中国は、情報や教育が鎖国のような状況です。
韓国政府は、政権の支持率を上げておくために、日本を悪者にします。
韓国国民の不満を政府ではなく日本に向けされるためです。
日本では、外国の情報や外国の意見が自由に入ってきますが、韓国は都合の悪い情報が歪曲されたりすることも珍しくありません。
日本で犯罪を犯した韓国人をかばい、日本を悪者にします。
韓国人の日本国内の漁場を荒らす問題が深刻で、以前、日本海で日本の海上保安庁の隊員が、韓国密漁漁船を立ち入り捜査している途中に、日本の海上保安員を乗せたまま船で韓国領まで逃げました。
この問題でも、韓国のニュースはでたらめ報道をして、日本の悪口を言いました。
野球のＷＢＣでも、韓国の新聞には、日本への暴力的な暴言が続きました。
韓国の知的財産権も中国のようにひどく、日本の知的財産権が侵されています。
バラエティー番組やドラマや映画の盗作は、日常茶飯事です。
例を挙げると、ドラマ｢冬のソナタ｣は、日本のTVゲームの｢君の望む永遠｣の盗作。
映画｢グエムル 漢江の怪物｣は、日本のアニメ映画｢機動警察パトレイバー３ WX3｣の盗作。
上に挙げた例は、ほんの一部で、まさに氷山の一角です。
韓国は、プライドが高すぎて、都合の悪いことは受け入れず、真実ではなくても都合のいい嘘を受け入れる国民です。
正直、韓国人とは付き合い辛いです････。
中国・韓国・北朝鮮、これらの国と日本は水と油の様に混じりあうことは永遠に無い様に思う。
性質がまったく違いすぎる。正反対。
日本人として、外国にこれらの国と同じだと思われたくはない。
これが本音。
はい、説明はどもありがとうございます。アメリカ人ので日本と韓国の友好関係は全然分からない。将来で和平友好関係ができますか。どの国は先番ができなくはいけないの。私の経験は韓国と中国について混じり気持ちがある。アメリカでは韓国人と中国人時々アメリカ人と話さないとアメリカ人は韓国人と中国人を分かんない。例えば私は韓国人友達があたと彼はとても日本人と中国人が嫌いだった。それは訳の分からない言葉。私も中国人友達があるでも彼女は金持ちとアメリカナイズでした。彼女もとても頭がいいと日本人と韓国人が嫌いじゃない。でもも彼女アメリカナイズ。この場合を分かるでもとても分かれない。
中国人はどおしてうるさいの？
どおして夏は暑くて冬は寒いの？
日本は中国にしても韓国にしても決して嫌いになりたい訳じゃない。
でもあれだけ激しく「日本嫌い」と言われたんじゃ好きになれって言う方が難しいでしょう。
特に韓国。はるか昔の事を引っ張り出してきては、日本人が大人しいのを良い事に口汚く日本を罵る。
ずーっと我慢してたけど、いい加減にしろ！って言いたいよ。
争い嫌いで穏やかな日本人を怒らせるっていうのは相当な事だよ。
本気で怒ったら今まで我慢していた分、暴走するかもね。

昔、太陽の神アマテラスが月の神ツクヨミに、食物の神から
食べるものをもらってくるよう命令しました。
月の神ツクヨミが食物の神に食べ物を出すよう要求すると、
食べ物の神は、口から食べ物を吐き出して、月の神ツクヨミに
差し出しました。
ツクヨミはそれをみて「汚い！」と言って怒って、
食べ物の神を殺してしまいました。
それ以後、人々は労働して、自分で食べ物を育てなくては
ならなくなりました。
このことに怒った太陽の神アマテラスは、
「愚かなる月の神よ、お前とは二度と顔を合わさない。」
といって、月が出てくると姿を隠すようになりました。
そして、夜ができました。
冬は、月の神が人恋しくなるり、早く出てくるので、
早く日が沈んで、寒くなるのです。
夏は、月の神が遅くでてくるので、日が遅く沈むので、
熱くなるのです。

Maybe I'm not the one to have the right to say it.
(Because I wrote about it first)
But every Japanese who is accustomed to using the Internet
seem to be addicted to discuss and tell others about
Specific Asia(S. Korea, N. Korea, and China).
I know, you know, we all know the reason why.
We all know how annoying and disgusting they are and these
political propagandas are.
And we all know how they are trying to ride for free on
Japanese resources including culture, technology.
But for foreigners, it's nothing more than only relations
among third nations, so we just should tell about these things only when we are asked to do it.
Why don't we just go back to main stream to give some
informations aobut Japanese things?
日本のことで質問がある人は、何でも質問してきてください(^-^)/
>中国は、仏教の聖地、チベットを侵略し、多くの僧を虐殺したため、多くの日本人は中国を憎んでいます。
違うと思うｗ
まず仏教をひとくくりにして、その聖地をチベットとしてるのは
分からんし、日本の人口に膾炙してる仏教はチベット仏教とは
言いがたい。
>キリスト教徒も、エルサレムがアルカイダに占領され、牧師がたくさん殺されたら怒るでしょう。
ここでもキリスト教徒をひとくくりにしてるが、「牧師」はプロテスタントしか使わんし。それにエルサレムはイスラムにとっても重要な場所で、そもそも、そこに戦後、ユダヤ教徒が入植したのも問題の一部だし。
日本の保守派が中国問題で怒ったとき、
かならずチベット問題を持ち出す。
神道は多神教なので、仏教徒の教義的統一性を
理解していない。
また、宗教の教義の違いから争いを起こすことを
軽蔑しているので、
この問題では、たびたび衝突を起こす。
織田信長は織田剣神社の宮司家の出身で、
天皇家を中心とする神道国家の建設を目指したが、
徳川家康は織田信長の影響力を排除するため、
檀家制度を導入し、織田軍団の戦闘部隊の神人を
無宿人と指定して、隔離した。
徳川政権が倒れると、その反動で、神道勢力が
大きな力を持ち、廃仏毀釈によって仏教を迫害した。
第二次世界大戦後、神道勢力の衰退により、
仏教勢力が力を持ち出したので、
チベット仏教の話題が出ると、必要以上に感情的になり
否定する者も出てくる。
神道の価値観では、宗教の教義を理由にした争いは恥である。
神道勢力が大きな力を持ったってのも一つの見方だけど
豊臣についた東派と徳川についた西派の仏教の内部抗争でもあるからそう断言できないよ
朝鮮（当時の新羅）人はね、昔は侵略をしかけていたのだよ。
だから、今の福岡あたりに「防人」（さきもり）という軍隊を配置して、防衛していた。
また、朝鮮（当時の高麗）人がモンゴル人の皇帝に進言して、侵略してきたこともあった。
時代が新しくなるにつれ、日本と朝鮮で国力に差が開き、朝鮮人には手が出せなくなったから、朝鮮人は近年まで半島に閉じこもっていた。
今の韓国人は、過去の侵略行為を認めたがらない。

昔は朝鮮半島に複数の国があった。
当時の日本は、その中の百済（ひゃくさい、くだら、ぺくちぇ）という国と関係が深かった。
それとは別に新羅（しんら、しらぎ、しるら）という国があって、この国は中華（今の中国に相当）と、関係が深かった。
半島内にあったいくつもの国が滅んでいき、新羅だけが残ったが、このことが日本に危機感を持たせた。

Hi, I just have a question about one of Tony Taka's artbook : Kaburimono 3. Based on Ragnarok Online for those who dont know.
I'm not sure if anyone addressed this since I couldnt find any information or they might have been deleted a long time ago. ^^;
Anyway, I'm curious what happened to that artbook? Since my japanese is very bad I can't read much japanese on sites that I visited in search for information. If you can help it would be much appreciated. ^^
Arigatou!
PS. The link to Tony's website : http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/i/taka_tony/
Correct title is "カブリモン Vol.3", Kaburimon vol.3
(not kaburimonO).
http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/i/taka_tony/c65-info.htm
In this page, he says "Sorry I couldn't release new edition vol.3
for comic market 2003 winter".
As you say, there are no informations like vol.1 and vol. 2.
But anyway the book must have been released already, because
I found a description about the book on a web page of
(illegal) P2P file exchange group on the Internet (yes it was a download key of the book).
They could never share it on the Internet unless it was
released. Therefore I think you can find it out on some
second-hand market of dojinshi(fan-zines).
Ah I see. Thank you for the information.^^
Then do you know where I could get a copy of the book? I'm thinking of buying it but not sure where since most of the Japanese websites that sells such books are confusing to navigate (I did try looking). ^^
I'm not living in Japan so I would need a shop that can do international deliveries to Australia.
Arigatou gozaimasu!
I am very sorry to have told you a lie.
Actually the book might be not released yet.
I tried to search on the Internet a little more deeply and
I got some posted messages which say that the download key
I found was a fake to send others a virus or something.
According to the afterword of another book of the artist,
he has been wishing to release it but he has been too busy
to play R.O. and get some ideas of stories.
Anyway, I'm not sure to tell you the best way to buy some
dojinshis from other nations.
Most of the Internet (or mail order) shop like
http://www.toranoana.jp/mailorder/cot/index.html
don't deal with orders abroad.
So there must be only a few ways like
1:Make a friend or an agent in Japan and let him ship it to you.
2:Get the account of
http://list3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/2084007413-category.html?
(In Japan, it's more popular than e-bay.
And getting account is necessary to enter the auction for
adult rated books and to bid)
and let the sellers say yes to ship abroad by the power of
money.
Oh I see. That's alright, everyone makes mistakes. ^^
I was wondering if the place you found it was at a japanese database? If not could you give me the link to it? I just want to see if it was the same page as the one I found.
Thank you again.
It's quite simple.
You just have to access
http://www.google.co.jp/search?q=%E3%82%AB%E3%83%96%E3%83%AA%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3+Vol.3&lr=lang_ja
and enter all links one by one.
【洋楽】７ヵ国語に挑戦したアヴリル、「日本語は簡単」「一番難しかったのは中国語」
Question. In anime there is often an attack (used mostly by ninjas and samurai) where guy A with a blade will run past and hit guy B so fast you don't see any attack. Then they will both just stand there back to back for a few seconds. Then the cut wound suddenly appears on guy B and he drops dead blah blah.
Is there an actual name for this type of attack?
>>301
I tried to find out a proper name of what you asked. But, sorry, I couldn't
find any.
I think, at least I can tell you that:
It is only a part of many techniques of anime and it doesn't have certain
independent name.
And also I can tell you that:
There are not styles, techniques or maneuvers like that for real sword fight
of samurais.
This is one of traditional dramaturgy of Japanese play or movies.
From Edo era, pausing an act to emphasise the scene is called "見得を切る mi-e wo kiru = emitting presence" in play of kabuki.
This type of method has been called "外連 Keren = straying from orthodox" or
"外連味 keren-mi = taste of Keren".
"外連 Keren" means over-decoration and spoiling realistic description to emphasise the situation.
(Please remember that kabuki meant "avant-garde play" or "punkish play".
Yes, each and every classical arts were once avant-garde in past.)
And today, pausing the scene like what you described is very popular
in costume (historical) dramas on TV.
In Japan, especially among people who is ignorant about real sword fight,
it is widely believed that the fight of sword master ends by only first
attack.
So usually this technique is used to emphasize the result of duel of
2 samurais.(Isn't this same as gun fight in western movies?)
And lately, as you wrote, this technique might be applied to one-sided
attack like assassination by a ninja.
Also anime have inherited this style of description of fight.
That's what you saw on a anime film, I think.
Hello, I have a question concerning working/living in Japan.
Do you think an American faces a lot of racism in Japan?
Do you think a German is welcome in Japan?
Also I have a personal question for you, what do you think of Arudou Debito? (http://www.debito.org/nihongo.html/)
Thank you for the detailed reply. I guess it's just a general story telling technique for raising suspense. I thought it was a glorified version of some actual martial arts attack.

> Do you think an American faces a lot of racism in Japan?
It depends on who you are, and how you accept rules of Japanese society.
It doesn't matter where you are from nor what your nationality is.
I don't mean to say there's no racism in Japan.
And I also think that each and every group has the right to have
appropriate xenophobia to keep their peace and prosperity.
I wish you understand that racism in Japan have come from not prejudice
but real experience of being troubled by some "不良外人 Furyo Gaijin = bad
/ rude foreigners".
So, firstly, we will be very cautious about you when we will meet each other
because possibly our common protocol (communication) will not work with you.
And then, everything is going to depend on your attitude.
If you do some act that I put below, you will face so terrible racism.
-Joking to strangers
I have a experience to have gotten my eyes shot by a laser beam pointer by
foreign strangers. Maybe they supposed me to laugh at them.
But it was going to work absolutely not.
And I also saw a foreigners scribbling on the blouse of another student from behind in a driving school. She was crying.
-Being arrogant.
Some of them seem to have come to Japan with mission to enlighten native
people. I am not surprised that the nickname of Arudou Debito is
"Hokkaido Crusader" (Hokkaido is the place he lives).
Especially you have to carefully avoid to try to teach your native language
unless someone asked you to do it.
-Being lustful.
This is the biggest problem.
Like other countries might be. There are so many young female
(sometimes male) wannabes in Japan who dresses like Beyonce or
Avril Lavigne. They might think they could be someone if being with
foreigners.
So if you are male and like M.C. Hammer (JA Rule? 50cent? EMINEM? I don't
know much), you can get many girl friends at same time very easily.
And then, welcome to the notorious GAIJIN world. No one else would be close
to you except some idiot brats.
> Do you think a German is welcome in Japan?
It's quite simple. If you are welcome in Germany, you will be
welcome in Japan too.
According to my experience, 60 to 70% of foreigners in Japan are losers
who ran away from society of their own country. And they seem never to be
able to manage his(her) life in their mother nation.
Therefore, this question is not to be asked to Japanese, but yourself.
And if you are respectable enough, I guarantee that you will never face to
racism without cause in Japan.
> Also I have a personal question for you, what do you think of
> Arudou Debito? (http://www.debito.org/nihongo.html/)
It does need 10,000 or more words to explain it. Because there have been
very very very very very long and complicated stories about this phenomenon.
I'm ready to write about it. But are you okay with it? No?
Okay, I wish you just take note that:
In Japan there is long tradition of "Anti-Japanism-public-opinion-business"
by left-winged anarchists. Mr. Arudou is nothing more than a player/actor
who is trying to become a celebrity admired in this industry.
Plrease refer to
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%89%E9%81%93%E5%87%BA%E4%BA%BA
and
http://www.japanreview.net/letters.htm
"Arudou and his family should not have been excluded from the onsen in Otaru, but I suspect I am not alone in objecting to the way this unpleasant, but essentially trivial incident has been parlayed into a career opportunity"
That is very interesting. I agree with what you say, if a foreigner came over to America and started trying to act like Flava Flav or something, and overused words like 'dude', 'sick' and any other typical teenage language, I'd probably take it that he is mocking us. I also find it interesting that you say that around 60-70% of foreigners are outcasts from society, which is probably true. Since Japan is a flip side of America, they probably think they can go there and immerse their selves into the new culture. What is funny about this is that because it is so different, they won't probably have a clue how to act. I believe that learning the language and writing system is a good start, but to know the culture is a whole other thing. The same goes for any country.
I am not OK with Japanese people looking down at foreigners just because they are foreign though. They should at least give them a chance first, and if they are annoying or disrespectful, then I believe it is OK to criticize them (Assuming they understand you). This is very informal information that you said, thank you.
>>306 Is there some way to learn common communication protocol for foreigner who never was in Japan? I just don't want to look like someone without manners when I go in there?
>Is there some way to learn common communication protocol for foreigner who never was in Japan?
For a trip, don't worry about it. Just use common sense.

If it's first one, it must be
"私たちはアヒルを見ただけです".
If it's second one, it must be

Anyway I think you had to post this message on Translation request thread.
This question is not about language, but about Japanese sayings. What does it mean to say someone "turns to the right" too often?
do people in japan hate people who act japanese (NOT OTAKU!)
if i want to have holiday in japan, where should i go?
英単語ぐぐったらここにたどりついた。
記念ぬるぽ
>>314
This is the one of possible answers. But I can not have any idea
for your question other than this.
Maybe, "turning to the right" is direct translation of
"右傾化:turning into political attitude of right-wing".
In Japan, because of the effort of some groups, the word
"right-wing" has been labeled fanatic nationalism and aggressive militarism (, not conservatism).
This had been very standard way of thinking among Japanese
people because of the experience of the WW2.
But nowadays, most of Japanese have realized that these pacific/liberal activists have so many foreign agents hidden behind. Their goal is incapacitate Japan in various field.
In spite of this situation, "turning to the right" is still available in limited space of political opinion including some
papers.
Therefore, if you see someone who use "turns to the right" too
often, that person might be resisting the recent trend of people
who try to make everything clear and find out the better
political stance.
And possibly the person still believes that some ignorant people
could be brainwashed with the magic word "turns to the right"
the symbol of evil.
In other words, he/she is using the phrase "(most of young people
tend to )turn to the right" as "getting worse" to criticize
modern trend of society.
In a manga I saw the phrase 「右に曲がります」 on a sign taped to a character's back as a trick.
Also, in the same manga (translated to English) I saw the phrase "When she turns around, she turns to the right too often" used as an insult.
Does this sound familiar?
>>319
I can't tell you clearly because it depends on the category of the manga you saw.
Usually mangas and animes tend not to commit on one certain political stance,
because whatever they assert, opposite side would complain to the artists and
the publishers so severely.
Especially complaining from some left-winged pacifist and ecologist is
actually more terror than complaining, like saturated phone/fax call and e-mails,
sending carcass, or arson.
So whenever they touch political things, most of manga artists and publishers choose
relatively safe colors: modest/moderate liberalism. And they carefully remove other
colors from their work. Because they have to focus on entertaining readers and avoid
other troubles.
But there are some exceptions.
-
Some manga artist declare that they are critics using manga as the way of expression,
like Yoshinori Kobayashi, Sharin Yamano.
Once they established their position as political activist, careless attack causes
scandal. So they can get freedom of expression and security.
-
Some left-winged groups frequently have a very closed political rally.
In the stage of the gathering, sometimes they exhibit very childish/rude symbolic revue to
insult their enemies. Like a sketch by a man with a mask of PM. Koizumi and costume of ape.
Like this, as long as they think those are for their eyes only, their activities of
publishing turn into rudeness infinitely.
That's why I wrote "it depends on the category of the manga" at first.
The style on the manga you saw is very familiar in mangas of the liberalists,
by the liberalists, for the liberalists in Japan.
(You might think I'm insulting them. But what else can I tell you if it's only truth?
Rudeness, unlawful maneuver, violence and self justification is characteristic of liberalists
in Japan
I even saw a porn video of two people doing it with masks of Japanese emperor and empress.)
>>315
It depends on how Japanese people take their purpose of
acting Japanese, insult or respect.
And I think I have to point "The Uncanny Valley".
http://www.androidscience.com/theuncannyvalley/proceedings2005/uncannyvalley.html
This can be applied to foreigners acting Japanese too.
In other words, if your act is too much similar to Japanese,
we suspect your hidden agenda.
I know it's only a myth, but Japanese people have believed that we
are residents of peripheral region of the world and we are so
unique that nobody can learn how to act same as us.
So "外タレ=外人タレント=Gaijinn talent= (TV-)talent who came
from abroad and became an entertainer in Japan" always speaks
unskilled Japanese to be loved by audience.

I'll answer in English if you don't mind. I'm not in the mood to try and write an extensive post on whaling in Japanese atm...
Anyway, I'm Australian not American/European but I think I can still answer your question to an extent.
Firstly there is still a lot of concern about whales going extinct. Kind of a carry over from anti-whalling campaigns in previous decades. One of the many things that Japan is famous for in the West is the amount of overfishing that has occured in Japanese waters. A lot of people just don't trust Japanese whalers to only hunt whales in a sustainable manner. In Australias case also there is concern that over whalling or even just any whaling at all will affect Australian businesses which sell whale watching tours. Some people are also opposed to it simply because they view harpooning whales as barbaric and cruel. This point of view is of course a bit hypocritical but a fair number of people still espouse it. Finally there are conservation groups such as greenpeace .etc. which are of course going to be opposed to whaling. Being opposed to things like whaling is pretty much part of the definition of being a conservation group I think. Naturally they view conservation of wildlife as being much more important than the culunary culture of any nation be it Japan, America or wherever.
Personally I'm not apposed to limited whaling. In Australia you can buy Kangaroo meat and those Kangaroos are not raised on a farm they are wild Kangaroos which have been shot! I don't see any reason why LIMITED whaling shouldn't occur be able to occur.
Anyway hope that clears things up a bit.....
>One of the many things that Japan is famous for in the West is the amount of overfishing that has occured in Japanese waters. A lot of people just don't trust Japanese whalers to only hunt whales in a sustainable manner.
Give me an example. How many years do you think the Japanese have been fishing (not just whales) in the water-surrounded land where the culture of eating the meat of domesticated animals was imported in the 19th century? Famous for overfishing? What a stupid people aren't they? Their food supply depends on fishing and they overfish!
BTW, you know those countries who are opposing now, USA for example, hunted whales just to use their oil, don't you?

Honestly, I'm more worried about the salmon and tuna than the whales. It's not like people eat whales everyday. It's a specialty item that's pretty expensive.
On the other hand, you better enjoy your wild-caught salmon while you can, because they aren't going to last for much longer at this rate.

よくわからないのです。いちおう犯罪統計だと年間の１０万人あたりの事件発生率は日本が1500件
アメリカが5000件。殺人事件の発生率が１０万人あたり日本が１件、アメリカが９件となっています。
そういう意味ではより安全ではありますが、まあ、やはり犯罪は起こってはいる。ということで。

Because this is common, it isn't understood about well for the >>326 us (Japanese) whether you must be afraid though it comes back conversely and alone why.
When they are statistics on いちおう crime, as for the matter incidence rate per 100000 people of the year, 1500 cases Americas are 5000 cases 【 Japan 】.
Japan is 1 case per 100000 people, and America is 9 cases 【 the incidence rate of the murder case 】.
Though it is safer and it is here, well, still a crime happens in such meaning.With a thing.
It thinks that it is awkward to be separately unchanged to be terrible in Japan and America when a woman is walking in the same direction which is the same as a, man's, coming back with the house if a man follows backward on the way which it comes back alone from to the house, too.
(? Translation soft realy work?)
A word of advice: translation software from Japanese to English (or from English to Japanese) is truly horrid. For example, write a sentence that you would normally write without any slang, translate it into English using the program, then translate the new English translation back to Japanese.
When we (native-speaking English people) attempt to translate in the same manner, we get a very bad translation. Translation software in general is useless. You should always do it with your own knowledge of the language.
If someone else would be kind enough to translate what you wrote so that it is easier to understand, it would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, I can not speak or write Japanese, so I am unable to do this myself.
Hi, I have a question about the Kimigayo national anthem. Is it just the country's national anthem, or is it a symbol of imperial/militarist past? How do you think about it? How do you think most Japanese feel about it? Would you rather have another anthem? Or do you not care?
>>357
Yawn
>>357
Greetings, Comrade.
>>356
Because it's natural in Japan, we don't understand why you need to worry when you return to home alone.
According to criminal statistics, the incidence rate of criminals in Japan is 1500 per a hundred-thousands citizens while it's 5000 in the US. The rate of muder in Japan is 1 per 100,000 while it's 9 in the US. The data shows it's safer in Japan, but there are criminals after all.
I think it's not different in both Japan and America that you fell uneasy when a stranger is behind you on your way home. Also it must be same that you feel awkward when a strange woman is walking toward the same direction as your way home.
# What do you think about my translation?
>>357
It's nothing related to militarism. Actually it's controversial that Kimigayo is officially national anthem or not.
Many thanks. That was very helpful. Y(^-^)o

Why is the reason why the Japanese dislikes South Korea understood?
The crime number of foreign countries in Japan is taught.
It is the first place South Korea, and the second place China.
To the favor of man who is educating unabashedly telling a lie like this on
an anti-day amusing.
Most of the heinous crime of Japan is Korean residents in Japan.
Do you want to know the reason to settle in Japan?
South Korea rules by the aristocrat and is a country of the myriad
year dependancy. The woman in Britain analyzed South Korea.
It was a country where no straight educational system.
A straight layer in South Korea runs away to Canada or the United
States. Even if Japanese is spoken, it is a special treatment by the South Korea census register. I want you to return to the mother country early. It is not interested in South Korea in Japan.
However, they are persistent in an economic aim. There is a people who pretends the Japanese by the South Korea census register. It is amazed.
Example China and South Korea.
It is not interested for people.

People in east Asia that comes to do crime. Get the hard work to money!
Japan must not obtain money badly and famously indefinitely.
It is opposite to Beijing Olympics.
Human rights is not defended in Tibet.
It is cheesed.
>>365
Tibet is cheesed?
You cannot just say that it is the South Koreans causing trouble. Some of them may commit crimes, but I am sure there are Japanese people who do the same. It sounds too much like you are trying to place the blame on immigrants. (-_-)
But >>365 is right. Crime is a petty way to earn money. I have no respect for those who do.
Enough of this talk, let's go cheese Tibet.

Translation software is hardly useless. It's good for getting the gist of a text in a foreign language. Very useful when surfing foreign sites. But as a means of translating what you wrote it's a poor communication aid. Where you use it also matters. On the net a machine translated text is more acceptable on a web page than in a bbs or e-mail where people tend to get irritated by poor language.
Personally I use Google Translator for quick and dirty translations of large texts and the Rikaichan Firefox addon for short texts. Rikaichan is pretty good for beginners. It throws up suggested translations for individual words and displays pronounciation in Hiragana and sometimes Katakana. The end result is that you usually get a better grasp of the text than with full text translators.
I need to understand more about pronunciation of age in japanese. please help. i heard that they pronounce age in the multiple of ten is different compare to normal counting of multiple of ten. care to explain? if possible please help in writing in hiragana cause i'm learning japanese on my own.
I suppose what you refer is this numbering system, but it's rarely-used since it's a literary language based on ancient Japanse.

A question.
Suicide in Japan is prevalent. What is it about modern Japanese culture that drives so many (primarily youth) to suicide?
One of the main reasons why Japanese youth commits suicide is the lack of freedom (especially for women) and strict culture, unlike the Europeans and the Americans who culture has alot of freedom to think, to do, to said, just as long as you know the limit, Japanese culture mainly tells you how to think, what to do and what to say. as much as Japan itself is unique when it comes to culture, you really don't see much freedom involved in. But lately I realised that Japan is becoming a bit more American like, with the way they think, especially in Tokyo.
that's one reason, they are others like school, religion, parents and alot of other reasons,
It's kind of sad that they die so young
a japanese- if you got more information on the question Suicide in Japan, til me, i may be wrong in some of the things i said, thx you
>>384
blah freedom blah unique blah culture.
Typical view of Japan influenced by western media who just feed you with garbage.
Speaking of freedom and media, why does American TV stations ceonsor so many Japanese anime programs?
>>386
Because they suck.
i think american have the right to censor japanese anime, because some of these animations are sick and influencing kid to do stupids things for example Suicide, onless you understand kids and why americans, europeans not want some these animations to influencing there kids, you really should not be talking,
386-you sound like 16 to 20 teenage bitching for animation, when you go outside your house for once in your life, get girlfriend, have a baby, if that possible, big IF. look at how easy a kid can influenced, then you'll unndersand but if you don't understand let say you retarded
one more thing if you want japanese animation go to japan, not everything on tv is made for you retard,
Rather than censoring the anime, why not just keep the kid from watching it? Parents can keep the stuff they don't want their kids to see without butchering up the original work.
I'd rather not have a given show air on US television than have it hacked up and given a bad name for westerners unfamiliar with it. Like i hear they really ruined Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon back in the day.
yea it's ture they ruined dragonball z, but to be also trueful dbz, sailor moon was loved in the europe and america, it was very big.
kids are becaming smarter special at that age of 10, south park which is not made for kids, it's loved by kids more then adults, now you have to ask yourself how do these kids know south park, as more of us know japan has no limit how far animation and horror movies go, they do scary the shit out of people, but also influence sick people to do things, i also hear that somepeople use animation and horror movie as influence as a way to die, i personaly understand and agree with the censor, only because of the kids, >>389 because kids can not be watch over 24/7, i believe japan should start censor samethings,
kids only do what they see and learn, i not think american want to see there kids fight to death, like dbz,
i believe this play a small part in Suicide rate in japan, but i could wrong
Do they really let Japanese students eat and socialize on the school rooftops? That seems dangerous :-/
>>386
Very true. I recommend to examine carefully if the media is fairly analyzing not only the target culture but also their own culture, and vice versa. "Japanese is wierd" "Islam is incomprehensible" or those kinds of articles are basically nothing more than biased scandals. The worst is a THOUGHT which is based on IMAGINATIONS and has NO FACT or EVIDENCE or academic analysis, like some posts above.
There is a huge misunderstanding concerned with this suiside topic. It's true that the suiside rate in Japan is 2nd highest in the world, but in fact, the suiside rate of TEENAGERS is higher IN THE US THAN JAPAN. I lost the information sources, but I believe it's somewhere on the net.
The reason is simple: youth accessibility to guns. High Japanese suiside rate depends on its high rate of mid-agers. I suppose the reason is the economic downturn or medical problem, though I havn't confirmed it yet.
I won't negate the limitation of freedom has some relationship with suiside, but I doubt the condition is very different from that in the US. I don't agree with "(especially for women)" part though, because the suiside rate of boys is higher than that of girls in Japan. And needless to say, the suiside rate of middle age men is much higher than that of women.
>>391
Not really. Some schools high-fenced rooftop but most schools locks the door to rooftop. However nothing is impossible for high schoolers who have too much time on their hands. You can see lots of chaos there; drinking and smoking delinquents, cluster-fucking upperclassmen, lesbian girls, love affair of school council president and vice-president, promiscuous teacher and student, and all that. The most shocking experience in my life happened when I witnessed 30 years old female school library clerk was having sex with my classmate. What is worse is that they married after graduation. It sucks. Really sucks. I hate highschool rooftop more than anything.
>It's true that the suiside rate in Japan is 2nd highest in the world
Not true, the second highest is Belarus:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate
Japan is number 8 in this list, although it's almost certainly innacurate, as there is very little data for countries in the middle east and Africa, many of which appear at the bottom. Some records elsewhere may also be incomplete or obfuscated for political/social/religious reasons.
For instance, the data from China comes from very select areas.
In conclusion, the only thing the list is good for is determining which countries are best at reporting suicide as opposed to other causes of death.
I've only seen this in Potemayo anime and a piece of anime artwork but what is the meaning of people riding on giant eggplants that have wooden legs? Where did this originate?
何でアニメキャラが大きいな茄子を乗っているの？ 馬見たいに乗っている...
In Japan, your dreams on New Year's day are like a fortune.
Mt. Fuji, a hawk, and an eggplant are the three luckiest things you can see.
You can also see an example of this in Azumanga Daioh
I think what you said was a overkill. Its true that some of the animes are sick, but so are some of the TV shows in the US. Anime cannot simply be categorized altogether into one single group.
What people need to understand is that anime is simply a visual media presented in cel-shaded animations, subjects in the anime have no direct relationship with it.
Its like watching TV, there are nice programs and at the same time there are some sick and twisted programs. Like as any other television shows, different animes are made to appeal various age/social groups. The conception of "anime is for (insert age/social group here)" seem so naive to me.

I have a question.
Are the Japanese people really so polite? I often see in films - and to a lesser extent, anime - nothing but politeness. In contrast to where I live (North America) this is very astonishing. People here are usually very unfriendly and mean, especailly as strangers. Is this just Japanese media, or are people actually as friendly and polite as they appear?
>>413 here. I should also add, are the majority of Japanese as introverted and reserved as they seem to be in TV, film and anime, or does this just go along with the politeness?
>>413-414
What is your intention when you ask Japanese such questions?
If you don't understand me, your better try reading some comparative cultural anthropology books.
Why dose American likes anal fuck?
A friend of mine who has studied in Japan told me a lot about this subject. Basically, Japanese have a strong sense of unity and teamwork. Complete strangers will be very polite and reserved around each other to avoid conflict and keep with the status quo. Japanese customer service is possibly the best in the world.
But, this is how they behave in public. With friends, (and especially with sake) they will be as rude and crude as any other people.
>>419 It's tighter. No risk of pregnancy.
I'm an American but I don't like it since I don't want to get shit on my dick. It is also unhealthy and can damage the inside of the girl.
>can damage the inside of the girl.
As if that really matters.
By the way, animal is close to anal in pronounce.
How do you think animal fuck?
And then animal anal fuck?
Thank you!
