  1. Reviewing old textbooks today for the upcoming JLPT. How much do I remember?
  2. @JapanNewbie Trying for 2. Might still be a bit out of my reach but if anything, it's a good way to get familiar with new vocab/grammar.
  3. @JapanNewbie thanks for the #onjapanese rec. Really helpful, especially with the JLPT coming up.
  4. @capnmidori Alright! I'm not sure where I'll be (maybe Tohoku) but we'll certainly get together.
  5. @capnmidori Cool, 2011 Japan trip! We'll have to meet up.
  6. Recommendations for ripping DVDs on a Mac? I have Handbrake but want something better.
  7. Kissing in Japan—is it really a recent import? http://bit.ly/g4q0f
  8. @JapanNewbie "US law does not recognize this inheritance of the rights." If true then all Daiei films are public domain? Jackpot!
  9. @JapanNewbie But it could be just the dubs that are public domain. Japan seems pretty good about protecting its property.
  10. @JapanNewbie The English dubs of the Gamera movies can be bought on cheapo DVDs. Check Amazon for Gamera. They're like $5 = public domain.
  11. @JapanNewbie there are lots of Ozu, Mizoguchi etc but I don't know if they're in the public domain. Gamera movies are though. ^_^
  12. Going to watch Linda Linda Linda with no subtitles and see how much I can understand.
  13. Film review: Koji Wakamatsu's Shinjuku Mad: http://bit.ly/1Ml4iw

  15. Sonny Chiba + terrible bear suit = awesome good time. http://bit.ly/OAgM
  16. Cold beer on a hot day, hot tea on a cold day. http://bit.ly/251Wz7
  17. @JapanNewbie How old does it have to be to be considered Edo dialect? Or is it still going in some places?
  18. What's wrong with San Francisco Japantown? http://bit.ly/3CSI27
