Do you have the time tomorrow? Sorry, I have a date. Really, do you have a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me? It was a bit difficult to say to you because he is Japanese. What? Why? You've been saying that Jap males suck, you should hang out with foreign guys. I don't think it a good idea to discriminate based on nationality or color of skin. So, I didn't want to talk about this with you Did I really say that? You sure did. You might be more careful as you are even unconscious about it
The item I orderd must be arriving on XXXX but hasn't been delivered yet. When will I receive it? I have paid an extra for the express shipping so that I can receive the item on the indicated date. I believe that since the delivery is delayed, I don't have to pay that portion of the shipment costs. Would it be possible to get the refund for it?

>>641 ちょっと自然に書きすぎたかしら I would like to get a job in an ad agency, in particular as a copywriter. The other day I went to a talk given by one of such copywriters. The guy, who is called "a buzz machine", has made a number of big hits with his ads. He said in the industry, you will never experience lack of opportunities to have hits, but what would lack is your hard work. Keeping his words in my mind, I'd always be hard working to the goal of being a copywriter.
>>648 When I go to Comike, I can see many people that come from other countries. The most of them enjoy Japanese comics or take pictures of cosplayers. We can see there is no border between Japan and other countries. Now comics unite countries and are one of important cultures for Japan.
>>650 You can choose a school that offers a program in English from the list of URLs. In Kanagawa or Tokyo. Although it's a bit farther than Yokohama, Waseda is the second most famous school in Japan after Todai. 二文目とか日本語からして意味がわからないので、なんとなくで訳した。
>>654 I've been a Hanshin Tigers fan as long as I remember. I'd supported the team itself, not some specific members, but at last I became a fan of a certain player, who is Takashi Toritani.
>>658 I hadn't known what Instagram is until I had a chance to see the photos on your Instagram account. As I saw them, I began to realize how wonderful Instagram is, and now I'm totally hooked. You're the one who taught me the charms of Instagram. Thank you for letting me realize them.
Lots of celebrities around the world have their Instagram accounts, but yours is one of a kind and by far the most interesting to me.
In my opinion, you're definitely the Instagram genius and the best Instagram user in the world. I don't think anybody on the planet knows how to use Instagram better than you.
>>663 Last month I was allowed to work only a few hours, asking the manager for more hours to no avail. I quit the job right away and found a new one. Now I'm able to work almost every day.
>>672 My dickhead exploded yesterday. Obviously, my pubic hair burst into flames. Actually, it's been burning since then. It's cold today but my crotch is warm.
Eugene Kittridge: Listen, I read you. Let's just bring you in safely, then we'll worry about that, okay? Were you followed? Ethan Hunt: I don't think so. Eugene Kittridge: Don't think. Be sure. Are you clean?

日本語の話になるけど、「彼女が、ピッパ・ミドルトンか、違うのか」という情報がないと訳せない。 「彼女、ピッパ・ミドルトン本人じゃない」という意味も含んでるから。 Isn't she Pippa" Middleton ?

>>704 I have not to get your reply yet. People think from point of Japanese view, you should not ignore it even when you are busy. I often hear that Japanese service is overkill, but I believe that to respond to customers is natural.
>>704 I haven't gotten the response yet. Even if you are busy, ignoring a query for a customer is almost unthinkable in Japan. We hear a lot that as a customer, Japanese people expect too much from their service providers, but replying a customer is something that is normally expected anywhere in the world. ま、どう書こうが返事は来ない時は来ないでしょうけどね
>>714 そんな気もしたから>>709は割りとぼかして書いたんだよね I haven't gotten the response yet. Even if they are busy, ignoring a query from a customer is almost unthinkable in Japan. We hear a lot that as a customer, Japanese people expect too much from their service providers, but replying to a customer is something that is normally expected anywhere in the world. ちょっと直してこんな感じかな（ちょこちょこ間違いもあったし）

The country is full of darkness. Although I could see a little of that becase I stayed that country only two days, I Hhave never shocked by culture in the countries I went. But the people I met this time are kind. かな？。
There might be something dark in this country. No other country has given me so much a shock in cultures as this though I stayed here for only couple of days and see little. But all I met were really nice.
