Regarding the video Marriage Simulator in tudou I mentioned earlier... I re-watched it again directly from tudou, and yes I was right: it wasn't finished. So it wasn't my download. The ending in tudou's video was cut (unfinished). Not by much, though, but it did make me confused, because I didn't get a "finished" feeling.

Anyhow, the one in cuti's youtube is complete, if you wanna see the complete ending ^^

houtou???!? haha... Thank You Sooo Much elyse! :woot: I will check out cuti's page.

Oh, regarding this show, don't you find the words said in the video tape was really touching? I cried when I watched it...

yes, juri-chan is a great actress! she always did well in all of her roles & she can be a different person in each of her characters. i always love her acting in all of her dramas, even if the drama itself isn't that good.

I din watched many of shows except for Swing Girls, Nodame and Last Friends, but she really impressed me.. for she is so young yet being able to carry her roles that well.

qnuy & chokakoi: so you guys are taking japanese lessons formally?
the hardest part for me is reading the kanji! meh, i'm really bad with kanji :bonk:

hmm... i think because i am able to read chinese that's why it will not be too hard for me.. in fact i found it much easier to remember the pronouciation with kanji characters..
yep, i am taking classes, but the classes are progressing very slowly as it is always full... so there's a long wait between levels...

Oooh, thank you for letting us know!
I never checked the official website :P
Didn't realize there's a BBS..

Now what we need is the translation... Google's translation sucks :grumble:

you retold the story to your mom??? so what's your mom's reactions?

konbanwa...

chokakoi, I can't read that message clearly. Can you give me the link?

regarding the meaning of 13 no Tsuki, I actually can understand a little of what's written in that WP entry.

The translation form the movie goes like this:

On the 13-month calander, there will be just one day, a day which does not have a date or day, a blank day

at first I don't really get what it means (esp that equilibrium part, I zenzen don't understand that), but then after reading the definition from wikipedia,

gSome calendar reformers seek to equalize the length of each month in the year. This is often accomplished by creating a calendar that has 13 months of 4 weeks (28 days) each, making 364 days.

An early 13-month proposal was the 1849 Positivist calendar, created by Auguste Comte. It was based on a 364-day year which included one or two gblankh days. Each of the 13 months had 28 days and exactly four weeks, and each started on a Monday. The International Fixed Calendar is a more modern descendant of this calendar.h

I think that one or two "blank" days is more like the 29th day in February (in leap year). Perhaps...that's what I get.

Confused? sumimasen...I can't really explain it in a better way :sweat:

elyse:
Yes, I also take Japanese class. Kanji is indeed difficult but I find it challenging. I hate katakana more :grumble:

qnuy, that's a wonderful explanation!!!! I finally understand it!
Hontou arigatou gozaimasu! :bow:

by the way, this is the link to the message image: http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n63/y3y13/00000000000.jpg

well, I can't read some of the kanji's so let me just summarize it. I'll translate the details later at home :mrgreen:

The first paragraph is the aisatsu
(Minna sama, it's been a while ne
well..it's indeed been a while
How are you?)

second paragraph
Kassy was mentioning about how he feels now that (the filming of) Hachikuro has ended. (I think he's a bit "sabishii"). He also mentioned about the weather in Kantou area (it's been raining) but today the weather has been good.

third paragraph
he said that after reading all the messages from the fans has made his mood good too

fourth paragraph
he said that he feels blessed (and glad) that he gets messages from fans around Asia and the messages are even written in Japanese.

fifth paragraph
(gomeeennn....I can't read most of the kanjis there so I don't know what he wrote there :sweat: )

sixth paragraph
He said that this year he's planning to have another movie (kyaaaaaa....hontouuuu??????) He hopes to "meet" his fans thru this movie.

and he wrote this as the closing

Please look forward to it ^^

let me add on to what qnuy's has translated..

2nd para onwards:
Hachikuro has ended, and Aibou has been released. Now, there's more time to relax...
It has entered into the rainy season... and the weather is abit warm today...
ah...what a nice weather..
I have read the messages left by everyone, and it made me feel good.
Thank you to all the fans in asia for the messages... some of them even tried using japanese to write them...
I prayed for the best and well being for everyone
there should be another movie release this year, and hopefully can get to meet you all again.

HI All,

How is everybody doing? Still "crazy in love" with kassy? :hehe: It's wonderful to see/hear kassy leave a msg on BBS.:woot: How thoughtful of him to leave a msg for his fans. Too bad he only mentioned his fans in asia :puppydog: :shamefulcry: I wonder if kassy knows that he also has fans outside asia. :puppydog: :puppydog: :shamefulcry: Maybe I should post (spam) msg on his BBS every day... :hehe: :nut:

BTW, thx for the translation! Even babelfish s**** with the translation! :banghead:

cuti, okaeri :hug:

I forgot that you're not in Asia. I think the idea of you spamming his BBS would be a great one :hehe:

Okaeri, cuti-chan!!!! hisashiburi! How's japan? Did you have fun?

oh so cuti is back from Japan? I thought she was still there.

So cuti, did you meet Kassy there? :mrgreen:

Tokyo is such an amazing city. Great place to be! Two weeks isn't enough!!! I really had a wonderful time in Tokyo! Two weeks non-stop shopping, sight seeing, hunting kassy down and eating sushi till you drop!!! :hehe:

Every day after breakfast we took the metro to the shopping district/shopping mall or went to the recommended places in Tokyo. My poor feet!!! In the second week we had really nice weather. So 2 days we went to Odaiba to relax on the "beach". In the evening you can enjoy the nice view and at night itfs so beautifull with all the lights. Love it!

During shopping I went to all the dvd/cd shop that I came across asking for kassy dvds/cds. You wonft believe me, but itfs very hard to find all the movies/drama dvds.
So funny when I was in Akihabara. I step in every store/shop where you can see the word DVD, but sometimes it also mean adult DVD. Well, i canft read japanese and stepped inside the store or went to the floor where they sell anime adult dvd. My god, I was so ashamed. All the guys was staring at me like gWhat are you doing hereh...hahahaha. Or when I stepped into a cd shop where they sell cds of old japense artist and I was asking for Kassy cds...So funny...Finally I bought 4 dvds and six pics of kassy. Ifm not really satisfied, but hé I will be back!

Besides shopping and doing all the things you do when you are on vacation I also enjoyed the culture. There are alot of things I found interesting. The people there are very polite and helpful. They donft talk or laughing out loud in public. Example, in the metro I saw a man whispering on the phone after picking up the phone. Besides this he even put his hands before his mouth! Also eating on the street, you donft see japanese people eating a sandwich while walking. So you donft see any trash on the street. Itfs very clean. Also there is a smoking area. Smokers must stay in the smoking area and are not allowed to smoke anywhere outside that area. There are many interesting experiences that I would love to share with you gals, but this post seems to be a little bit long....I miss doing the talking about kassy in this forum....:nut:

Anyhow....I wasnft lucky enough to meet kassy! In the future when I will be moving to Tokyo, kassy wont have a chance to escape! I will be back! :hehe: :rofl:
