I think I had only seen one of the videos. I didn't know they were all on YouTube! The last time I searched for originals was a long time ago, and they weren't there yet. So, thanks a lot! ^__^
"As in many other countries, Japanese television is arguably the most important media type. A survey completed in 2000 by NHK, Japan's public broadcasting network, showed that 95 percent of Japanese people watch television every day. 86 percent said they consider television an indispensable medium, and 68 percent said the same of newspapers. There are other forms of media that can be used to promote products and services, such as the Internet. However, a television executive at Nippon Television (NTV) believes that although the Internet is popular among drama fans, 'We don't regard broadband as mainstream media. It will never happen. Broadband is a complementary medium.'"
Dorama is Japanese made English? I didnot know that. Japanese are farmer oriented character, so they donot eagerly get game, information, award, exciting, challenging stuff. they do love to accept anything someone prepared, assoorted, introduced, digested.
>>631 The Internet is very convenient as communications of interactive. I think that the ratio of the Internet grows. However, each feature is different. I think the newspaper and the television are important media.
May I ask you some questions? sorry if you've mentioned before.
1. Do you have any sisters and brothers? 2. What's your favorite subject? 3. What languages have you learned? 4. Who's your favorite Hollywood stars? 5. What food do you like?
>>645 1. I have three sisters. 2. Linguistics 3. A little Japanese, and some French. Do I know much Latin, I wonder? 4. I mostly watch Japanese entertainment these days. But for Western stars, I like the actresses Jodie Foster and Salma Hayek, and of course I like the actor Johnny Depp! 5. I love pasta, chicken, and pizza. I never had Asian food as a child, but my family recently started making it, and I'm really getting into it.
>>650 Thank you for your answering my questions. Can I also ask you how old your sisters are?
You like Japanese programs! Who's your favorite Japanese? I like Akashiya Sanma, an entertainer.
As for actors, I like Ngasawa Masami and Sawajiri Erika. But you might not know Japanese actresses.
You seem to like typical American food. I wonder why you are so slender eating that food. What kinds of Japanese food do you eat recently? I like natto. You don't know it though.
I think Television is commercialized media. but Internet is more educational than television. Internet helps not only personal education. Internet correct an error of news reported on Television.
>>651 I don't know if I should talk too much about my sisters... I thought Sawajiri did a pretty good job in 1 Litre of Tears. What do you think of the rumours that she is not very nice? I like an idol named Komatsu Ayaka, thought her fame is only in its first stages. Also, I really like Yaguchi Mari, Horikita Maki and Matsushima Nanako. There are others, too... We haven't tried cooking to many Japanese foods because my mother is still old-fashioned, but we mostly play around with vegetables and teryaki sauce and stuff like that. My mom didn't like rice before, but she is eating it more now. Also, I don't like vegetables, but they are not so bad when they're Japanese-style. I've heard that natto is... interesting. ^_^'
>>655 I definitely agree with you on that point. It is possible to learn almost anything, using the internet. But, unfortunately, it is also becoming controlled and commercialized.
