Hello from Asia

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

We Froggies have mitigating circumstances though : no French gig in 25 years of existence. :urff: :von:

It's been quite hard for me to learn English. Still
learning it. Probably, for most of Asian nationals who
are not normally familiar with alphabet, it takes time.

I heard that Mr.Eldritch had learned Chinese at university when he was a student.
Is it true?

He studied Chinese and politics at University of Leeds but dropped out. The Chinese curriculum included one year in Beijing, and he didn't want to go.

I wouldn't say I've learnt Japanese, I listen to a lot of Japanese music and I've picked up a few words and phrases, nothing much really. I can recognise most hiragana/katakana and a handful of kanji. I use a lot of Japanese download sites and after copying and pasting text into a translator I ended up learning to recognise stuff. I've got the IME and all the fonts installed which is how I'm able to type Japanese.

Who's the pic in your avatar? He looks a bit like Gekidan Hitori.

Dear Dan,

If you happen to come over here, I will show you round, starting from
Sushi, Sumo, and bullet train..

Who's the pic in your avatar? He looks a bit like Gekidan Hitori.

It is a member of japanese rock band called "Kishidan."
http://www.toshiba-emi.co.jp/capitol/kishidan/

They look like japanese bad boys in the 80s.

Their hairstyle is very impressive.
Nowadays we rarely see this kind of guy in the street however.
:D

Thanks for the offer. I'm quite partial to a bowl of ramen or two. :D

Ah yes, I think I remember seeing them on this years Kouhaku.
An impressive quiff. The forum's very own Quiff Boy used to have a quiff, but probably nothing as impressive as that.

So you can watch "Kouhaku" in UK?
It is broadcast on new year's eve which features popular music contest
here in japan. Aka(Red) team and Shiro(White) team will compete, mainly
Aka team consists of female singers, and male sigers are from Shiro team.

And he's from Hong Hong, IIRC, so that's a couple of miles from eachother. Curious if we'll get to see him in Brussels indeed :D
Styles are a lie.

You can watch it if you download it with bittorrent. :D
I've downloaded the full show for the last 3 years.

What made me laugh was that this year Gorie was on the red team and Wada Akiko was on the white team. :lol:

You can download almost anything from bittorrent if you know where to look. I'm currently watching Yaguchi Mari's drama 'Sentou no Musume'. I'm enjoying it although some parts of the storyline are leaving me a bit confused, I wish I understood more.
