first of all they get that waste of space Kelly Osbourne to present it...

then on top of it all they name the series after one of the most offensive possible songs towards Japanese people there is (and play the bloody thing during all the adverts for it)

I don't think it's that simple... I've never met any hardcore Japanophiles though!

Personally I love Japanese culture but the sad truth is that I just can't afford to visit Japan so I immerse myself in the culture that I can afford (namely TV shows, movies, manga etc. etc.)

Becky just plays her part, really. I think she had a bit part in Rondo... and didn't act up. Sometimes, she's just a funny person, and I guess you're right, she does try too hard... perhaps it's just her personality. You don't really have to "compensate" for being half in Japan... people,...

For those of you in Japan I just wondered how the general public feel about the actress/singer Becky? I just finished watching Anna-san no Omame and I have to say she is one the wierdest people I've ever come across haha. Is she actually like that personality in interviews and variety shows etc beca...

if anybody is interested in an "I want an English Boyfriend" with a picture of me on it giving a thumbs up... I can knock one up on cafepress in five minutes

this may be a totally pointless comment but I don't think that d-addicts is doing any harm. I mean we seed files that have even kept the programmes sponsors in! I've watched Tiger and Dragon and had a craving for a Coca Cola after I see their logo pop up so they're definately making back their adver...

I do find it fascinating how the Yakuza is pretty much tolerated by society though. Coming from England all I have is our version of organised crime which is very subversive and underground. If you ever met a serious criminal you'd probably never even know you'd met him, you certainly wouldn't see h...

wait... isnt the extreme right also against immigration and mixed marriages as well? I am a bit confused well what I'm saying is that obviously the far right (conservatives) are against mixed marriages and immigration, but Prince of Moles mentioned that ultra-leftists are promising a United country...

If I can relate my experience learning Japanese: I took some books out of the library, but I realised later I was mispronounciating so much... for example I didn't realise that words like 'wakarimasu' would drop the U sound at the end. Add to that I had literally no idea how to pronounce simple word...

Personally speaking I'm proud to say that I watch something a little bit different to everyone else! Especially in the UK where everybody just watches reality TV shows and Friends! I do find it hard to explain exactly what the appeal is though... it's kind of like one of those things where the only ...

(By the way the extreme left also used to promise a united country through socialism. However, as organizations the yakuza believe they are conservative and traditional [whether this is true or not doesn't really matter], so of the two extreme wings, they tend to choose the right.) . Thanks for the...

Hi, I read quite a lot on Japan and obviously seeing as how Japan doesn't seem to be able to make a video game, manga, film or dorama without sneaking the Yakuza in there somewhere :D I thought someone might be able to enlighten me on something. I read that one thing that is different about the Yaku...

my name is... Ian Warren (hard to tell from my username I know)

I'm sure this is a rather bizzare question but could anyone enlighten me as to how raw egg is served with Japanese food? I always found it strange because in England we are constantly warned that eggs MUST be cooked properly (or your head will explode or something), yet I see on dramas, movies and m...

sorry guys I mean SPOKEN Korean is one of the hardest languages to learn. Spoken Japanese in comparison is much easier. (I can imagine that a writing system that uses 'symbols' is much harder than a phronetic alphabet like Hangul though! Not to mention 3 alphabets for one language :D ) I've even bee...

Korean is supposed to be one of the most difficult languages to learn (along with Icelandic )

In the series Densha Otoko is there any significance to that guy who messages on the foreum superimposed on scenes around south east Asia wearing a red beret?

Is it some kind of obscure Japanese reference or just wierd character?

heheh that is awesome... I think i've just worked out my girlfriend's christmas present

I saw on TV that it takes about a year for the phones that are currently available in Japan to get to Europe
