In America, do you have to get a permission from her parents when you go on a trip

It depends on parents, but I guess decent parents in Japan don't welcome
with open arms their daughter going on a trip with a man at the age of 18 or so.

Yeah. Japan's national team has to be more motivated by the act.
The ability of Japan's each player is higher than that of Koreans
but as a team, Korea did a good job in this game and the last game.
Japan's number of hit was larger than Koreans. It's just that Japan gave
more walks and Japan's hits were intermittent.
I think Japan'll beat Cuba tomorrow and there's still a hope for Japan
survive the tournament but Japan has to be more motivated.
Ichiro didn't hit in this game. If he get back to his normal conditon,
things will change. Korean players have a big motivation. If they do well

Yes im Chilean and videogames are my favorite hobbie, much more than Anime.
Japanese videogames are the best for me, here in Chile and mostly all America we lost some consoles.
PC-Engine wasnt really popular outside of Japan so i get one (imported) when i was young mostly because of Dracula X.
In that time i discover a lot of Japanese games that you cant find here.
Still my favorite genres are Fighters, Shooting and Puzzle games, totally Arcade player i guess.

All those "suicide is honorable in Japan" claims are exaggerated to some extent.
Certainly our culture and traditions (and the economic turmoil too) have something to do with the higher suicide rate,
but it doesn't seem that they are the main cause. After all, we're all humans and no one in their right mind would want to hurt themselves.
I think the biggest problem is the stricter regulation on stimulant drugs for clinical depression/ADHD/whatever
and poor treatment of such illness and disorder.
Also poor understanding of mental diseases among the Japanese is aggravating the dire situation.
In fact, quite a few people regard seeking for professional help for mental illness/disorder as extremely shameful.
I'm not sure if the you-can-fake-mental-disorder situation in the US is better than our you-can't-get-any-stimulant-no-matter-what,
but it seems the US is handling patients who need help much better.

Yes, until the late 90's it was exactly as you said, western videogames were seen as
weird/lesser shite in most cases.
Also, what you said about Japanese PC gamers and Eroge is exactly how it was
in the 90's. There is a 2ch banner (I think it's on the PC games board) where
a 2ch character is buying Inukatana (parody of Daikatana, an infamous FPS phail)
and some kid saying "that guy's buying an Eroge!" or something like that.
But we get a lot of real good games from the west now, and the FPS/RTS community
in today's Japan is far bigger than a niche. I think there are even some Japanese
pro FPS/RTS gamers who compete internationally.

I've heard that not to poop everyday doesn't mean you are unhealthy.
It depends on a person how often they poo.
Actually, it's very common for me not to poop for three or four days and
I'm completely all right.
If I don't poop for a three or four days, my poo become very long and huge and
it's like that of Saint Bernard's. When I get it out of my body and
see it in toilet, I feel a sense of achievement. It doesn't flush by just
one try. Two flushes are need to get it all gone. So far, I haven't had to
call a plumber.
If you can't poo for more days and feel uncomfortable, tell me.
I'll go to your place with chopsticks to insert it and pick your anal
to get it out of your body. I'm a certified anal picker.

Japan is up against USA in WBC semi-final in 1 and a half day.
A few US players such as Chipper Jones are suspended due to injury.
US's players and American baseball fans just considered WBC to be
spring pre-season matches and don't take WBC so seriously and that's
what I don't like about US national team's attitude.
On behalf of the injured players, players from Chicago Panty sniffers
should join the US team.

As most of the people living all over the world say, Korean guys are absolutely popular all over the world even now.
They say Korean guys are like white Asian people because Korean guys are smart, gentle, cool, hot and sexy.
But it seem they will consider Korean guys are the best of all the peoples after WBC is finised with Korea at the top of
the world, looking down on all the other baseball teams. You know Venezuela completely beat America the other day, and
now Korea makes Venezuela get down on its kneads just by comletely beating the country. The world should admit Korean guys
are phisically talented as well as mentally superb. All the girls on this planet are naturally attracted to this kind of guys.
American people respect Korea for Korean high-tech gadgets and phisical strength. In other words, American people know how smart
and tough Korean guys are. They love Korean products and Korean guys. I wouldn't be surprised if American girls rushed to offer
marriage to Korean guys. :) Europian girls already noticed that since when they knew Korean succer team was really strong.
Now it goes without saying all the girls in this world are mesmerised with Korean guys.
I'm proud of it. :)

Yes, lots of German girls are already interested in Korean guys.
And even if a few of them haven't known yet, once they notice how very attractive Korean guys
are, they'll go crazy for K-guys. So such girls should know that now.
Anyway, it occured to me when I read you, though, that you're just jealous of Korean popularity.
American people are so honest that they admit the truth, but Germans are not?
Either way, this is a good oppotunity for you to know how impressive Korean guys are.
As I said, most of the girls all over the world are already mesmerized with Korean guys, and those few people
who don't know about Korean guys yet will love Korean guys when they see Korean guys. That is, it'd be safe to
say all the girls living on this planet will fall in love with Korean guys sooner or later.

To tell you guys the truth, I was really dombfounded and surprised that
there are still, though only a few, people who claim they don't know how popular Korean guys are around the world.
I was at a loss for words about their ignorance of what's happening in this day and age. Korean guys are attractive and many girls are attracted to
Korean guys, yes, that is the only truth you need to know. Those who oppose that fact should be considered uneducated or just ignorant.
I thought I taught you guys how very popular Korean guys were, but it seems that wasn't enough. Those few people need to know how impressive
Korean guys are and they have to respect Korea no matter what because Korea is worth full respect.
But of course, I'm proud of the fact that many girls in the world already like Korea very much. :)

Heh, one of my PC monitors really is an LG.
Seriously speaking though, here's all what most Germans/Europeans know about Korea:
-Korea is somewhere in Asia.
-Most people are pretty sure that Korea is a country. Others think it's probably a part of China.
-Korean writing looks sort of like Chinese, but not exactly like it.
-They eat dogs. (China is far more famous for this though)
-North Korea's dictator is a funny-looking madman.
If someone over here is interested in or fascinated with East-Asian countries, they're usually into Japanese or maybe Chinese stuff.
And unlike the USA, we don't get many immigrants from Korea, so yeah, naturally there's not much awareness about that country's culture.

For those who are not in the know, SBS is an infamous Korean TV station (not to Korean people but the rest of us. lol)
for their sensationalism based on lies.
For example, off the top of my head, what they did in the past was
1) broadcast a false report like all US beaf was infected with mad cow deaseas and lead thousands of Koreans to be turned extremely hard against USA.
They did it without scientific evidence..
2) sneak into the place where the ceremony of the Beijin Olympic was supposed to take place
and record a rehearsal without permission and broadcast it by breaking the rule(s).
And this time they are blaming Japanese skaters, especially Mao Asada, in a gratuitous manner for interrupting Kim Yuna? All based on that edited and mozaiced video
which turned out to be fault now? Gee, I feel sick.

WBC consists of the first rounds, the second rounds, the semi-finals and the final.
16 countires participated in the first rounds, they are divided into 4 groups, being
4 countires in each group. Top two teams in each group can advance to
the second rounds. top 2 teams X 4 groups-=8 teams moved on to the second
round. Second round was held at the Petco Park in San Diego. The first rounds
were held in each reagions. The Asian group's first round one consisting of Japan, Korea, China and
Taiwan was held in Tokyo. Japan and Korea moved on to the second rounds.
In the second rounds, the 8 countires are devided into two groups,
being 4 teams in each group. the top two teams in each group, top 2 teams X 2 groups =4 teams
moved on to the semi-finals, which is Japan, Korea, USA and Venezuera.
Korea won over Venezuera and moved on to the final. Japan beat USA so
the final is Japan vs Korea. The semi-finals and the final are played
at Dogers Stadium in LA.

WBC was first held in 2006 and Japan is the defending champion in this
WBC. Although "3" years has passed since the first WBC, it's said it's held
every "4" year from now on. WBC was started by MLB's comissioner with the
aim of spreading the popularity of baseball in sight worldwide.
It's USA who adovacated WBC after all. It's difficult to say USA team's players
are the best of the major leaguers. If the best team is 100, I would say
this USA team is from 90 to 95 because some players declined to participated
with traing for the upcoming regular MLB' regular season prioritized.
It's odd that while MLB's commisoner advocated WBC, some MLB players don't
participate, putting WBC low on the list.
Japan and Korean teams aren't with the best lineups, too though.
IN capan's case, Hideki Matsui, one of the players of NY Yankees, Japan's best slugger,
didn't participate. In his case, it's due to his injury of the last season.
He's almost fully recovered now but due to MLB's regulation, he couldn't join Japan's
squad. The regulation's aim is to protect injured players from overwork.
Even if he says it is ok with playing for Japan's squad, it isn't permitted.
Again, the regulation is a bit odd to think that WBC was advocated by MLB's commssioner.
The regulation shows that MLB puts priority on MLB's regular season.
MLB wants Major leaguers to be in the best condition for the upcoming regular
season. I would say if he's OK with participating, MLB should allow him to
play in WBC. Anyway, Japan is 95-98% best lineup, I would say.

Just because we happened to win this time doesn't mean Japan is up
to par with MLB. America didn't choose thier best players because
of their contracts. Many of them value thier own teams.
Anyway, we have a game with Korea again tomorrow.. Hmm.
From my past experience, I think I'll feel bitter even
if we win or lose. You know what I mean? If we win, they
will say, "all the rules of WBC is made in favor of Japan.
Japan is dirty. We're the true winner." or something like that.
And if we lose, they will say, "we concur Japan. It's proven
Japan's weak. Ichiro is the worst baseball player. Japan should admit
Korea is superior to Japan. And Dokto is a Korean teritory
(and me thinking that's nothing to do with baseball.)
Japan is envious of Korea." or something like that.
I base this theory on my experience. Korean newspapers
(which are translated into Japanese of course) always say
things like that. Actually, what I write above is/was
already written in Korean paper. I read them online.
Hmmm, all I could do would be just sigh.

There are always baseball fans out there who actually enjoy watching baseball games, not just their own
national teams, regardless of what counrty they are from. So, let's not get hopes up. Maybe some media
facilitate those sentiments that go back and forth between them, or some players provoke their opponents
by being a jerk, but you can either manage to keep a little bit of distance but at the same time enjoy the whole
thing, or totally get carried away by it. Either way, I don't think you'll lose anything. It's just baseball.

rare in amateur level here in Japan. The system in Germany to produce
pro football players is very well organized. That's what I heard.

Yeah, it's very rare for German kids to play baseball. Football/soccer is the most popular sport over here, I think we even have the
second best team (after Brazil) in the world, in terms of titles we've won. But me and my friends decided to try out baseball, and
some other kids joined us after seeing us play. It was fun, so it turned into a habit to play basically whenever the weather was good.
Some of us even joined organized softball teams later on (only reason that's even possible is that I live in a big city). We didn't have
any real baseball gear most of the time though, usually we just played with an old tennis ball and a large stick we found somewhere.
What are some games Japanese kids usually play, other than baseball?
Over here, basketball and American football are sort of catching on, my brother even was a professional player of the latter for some time.

I played soccer most often with my friends, since all you need to play it
is a soccer ball. Also soccer is very simple and every kid can play it,
you just run around kicking the ball, whereas in baseball you need to
have some skills and knowledge to play it.
(without minimal skills to throw accurately or hit with a bat, the damn game
just won't work)
In school, most of major ballgames are popular here. Baseball, soccer,
basketball, volleyball, tennis, softball... Most schools have their own teams
for these sports.

>What things Japanese people do usually on their birthdays?
In Japan, if you're a small kid your mom buys a cake and eat it after dinner with your family.
In many cases, If you are an elementary school student, there's a small party held at your place.
You invite your friends to your house and eat a birthday cake and have fun.
If you go to junior high school, there's no home birthday party like that any more.
Maybe your close friends give you a small birthday present.
As an adult, it depends on a person. If you have lots of close friends,
they may throw a birthday party at a bar or something for you.
If you have girlfriend, she'll give you a present and maybe dine out at
a restaurant.

Ichiro said he'd been in bad shape and at some point his heart was almost broken
(*I'm sure he mentioned he betrayed our trust. He said he was frustrated at himself
and we know he felt that way. ;_;)
and as we witnessed, at the last moment Ichiro hit...
I thought it wasn't matter if Japan won or lost, and if we had lost
I would've been contented, but seeing Ichiro was almost in tear,
it really touched me. He's human. He makes mistakes, but what makes
Ichiro a hero (at least to me) is that he lives up to our expectations when we really need that.

I respect the Korean closer for not having walked Ichiro in the 10th, although maybe he should have if they

which wasn't about strategy but something personal against him. And it made the perfect climax of the entire tournament.
And I'm so glad that Ichiro delivered.

Do Japanese textbooks/dictionaries use katakana to represent the pronunciation of English words?
It's a good idea to learn IPA (URLリンク(en.wikipedia.org)), it does a good job at clearing up how to pronounce stuff
and is used in many English-English dictionaries (the only kind of dictionary for this language you should be using if you can read this).
But of course, to actually speak well, you have to listen to thousands of hours of English, there's no way around it.
It's a bit frustrating that the English use a writing system that is so badly suited for their language. From Japanese kana and
Spanish, German or Italian words written in Latin letters, I get a fairly precise description of how to pronounce it. Kanji
at least give me a good idea of what the word means. But when I learn a new English word, I still sometimes have to look up its
pronunciation and get no clue about its meaning other than the context I discover it in.

they have no R sound in Japanese.
I was once amazed to see that some French people cannot
pronunciate H sound. That's because they have no H sound
in their language. NOT because they are ashamed of H sound.

>they have no R sound in Japanese
You do, it's just not the R of e.g. American English. The R in syllables like れ sounds a lot like the R in Scottish English.
It's somewhere between that and the L sound really, but native speakers usually interpret it as an R when you say it.

To say a proper L, you have to start with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth,
then end it with it smacking the back of your bottom teeth.
or back of top teeth to back of bottom teeth. i dunno.

Japanease are not good at the pronunciation of R, but Yakuzas (Japanease Mafias) are good at that.
The reason for that is they trill their r's, "Gorururuaaa!!!", when they threat others.

I first saw in RAW, yeah
Then i saw it fansubbed, but to be honest it was somewhat easy to understand.
The kiss scene was very beautiful... "もういちどう。。。" (Hope that i didnt spoiled too much)
But finally i was happy with the ending, i mean, it was too obvious... but it was much more neat than average Shoujo/Bishoujo Anime

Oh, so you are good enough to understand raw anime!
And yea, the kiss scene was very well done. In Toradora threads
everyone is talking about what "happened" afterwards. (hehe
I understand the ending was too obvious, some people seemd to be
disappointed by that. But personally I expected it to end like that
after watching ep 24, so it was all good for me.

Well, i heard that Toradora was based on a light novel and on an unfinished manga.
So... i guess there is "more" of Toradora anyway right?
To be honest i cant imagine how Toradora can continue (excluding the ero wishes of all).

From what I read, the novel was finished before the last anime ep.
I don't know about manga... I only watched anime and didn't care about
the original materials.
And by "happened" I meant secks after the kiss. They kinda implied it
by having the two hold hands tightly. (on the train back home)

It was pretty easy to understand what you implied by saying“what happened afterward”, probably because I'm Japanese.

I need the context to translate it well but I think there are two possibilites.
1) Stop doing it because the act of doing it is kind of crazy/stupid/insane.
2) Stop doing it because it is kind if crazy/stupid/insane.
In 1), speaker is ordering/requesting/advising not to do something because the
act of doing it is crazy/stupid/insane.
In 2), speaker is ordering/requesting/advising not to do something
because "the something" is seems so crazy/stupid/insane that you should
keep away from it.
414:名無しさん@英語勉強中

The literal translation would be "Stop it, that really sounds crazy."
This katakana "kichigai" is generally used as something very outrageous/dangerous/scary/ in a negaive sense.

As 416-417 says, it can be translated using a adverb but in 1) and 2)

I have a question. This whole deal of company loyalty, salary men, etc; is that a result
of Japanese culture or perhaps a result of high competition for jobs? I was thinking maybe
it is a result of older Japanese culture where samurai had this code of honor and loyalty (of
course a general would want to indoctrinate ideas of loyalty into his servants).

The former one is right.

(continued from 421)
and I'm not sure but maybe old Japanese society where samurai prevailed also has contributed to its seniority system in companies.
This is likely enough to this unique Japanese system.
424:名無しさん@英語勉強中
09/03/27 12:46:35
>>419
I don't know. If you trace it back to samurai era, maybe you can say that.
But common understanding is Japan's company's lifetime employment system
contrinutes to it. Different from American companies, Japanese companies
don't give their employees a pink slip easily. That results in employees
loyalty. And it's common an employee work for the same company until they
retire.
Now things have changed and western value and merit system has been adopted
and employees loyalty is less than before. Job changing getting more common.
