Scheduled to be broadcast from Jan->March next year. She says that she loves doing comedy and in this she plays very un-Japanese character and she requests that bmwracer take time out of his busy schedule to check it out. Or something along those lines...

I can just see it... bmwracer collapsing to the floor, unconscience because of the total excitement when Ryoko-chan wiggles that cute little nose of hers to cast a spell.
It's pretty neat seeing Japanese artistes re-create American cinema. Back in the late 1990's, the Japanese created a Broadway-style play of the American movie "Big". Sakai Noriko (which is why I even mention this) played the role of Susan Lawrence, a toy manufacturing executive, originally played in the movie by Elizabeth Perkins. Noriko-chan looked so pretty in the play. Damn I wish I watched it. I have the playbill and even own an original ticket to the play. Here's a link to a web site that talks about the play:

Your next task, should you choose to accept it, is to create an animated GIF of the famous Samantha nose wiggle!
(BTW - as Samantha goes into Japanese easily ->'sa' 'man' 'sa' I guess (hope) they will keep the name (it does say she's playing non-japanese-like character, maybe name too)).

When I first read (actually decoded) that news blurb, I thought about that... Needless to say my pulse quickened, and I was in dire need of a cold shower... :hehe:

Yeah, I find it really fascinating to see Japanese reworkings of American films and shows... There's something just so indescribably appealing...
It would be cool to see them get the cast together and put Big on film or tape... I'd love to see how it compares to the American version...

Actually bmwracer I guess that will be your sig. sometime early next year ......

Sounds like you're throwing down the gauntlet of challenge... :D

So what does this, ‰œ‚³‚܂͖‚—, translate to?
I think it says Samantha the Witch, but I'm not sure... I know the last two characters, –‚—, is majo (witch)... but I can't really make out the first four characters...

‰œ‚³‚Ü(oku-sama) is (someone else's) wife - honorific
So something like 'Your Wife is a Witch'. I'm sure the official English translation will be something a little more poetic and more focused around Samantha than Darin. Yours is better!

Arigato, ajb... You must be a student of the language, neh? I'm quite envious... :)
I only remembered majo, 'cause I've seen the word from Majo no Takkyubin--Witch's Delivery Service, i.e., Kiki's Delivery Service... :D
