Free For All Posted July 24, 2003 Report Posted July 24, 2003 I heard trumpeter Bill Berry was once introduced as what sounded something like "Beer Belly". Quote

I'd like to see some of you start a board in which you attempt to converse in Japanese only, and we'll see how funny your posts turn out to be. Alex definitely raises a good point here. I find this stuff funny too, but at least they try to learn our language. Quote
Saint Vitus Posted September 11, 2003 Report Posted September 11, 2003 Does this mean we should check the Japanese CDs we have to see if the L and the R channels are reversed? Quote

jazzmessenger Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Hey, I must admit I have a problem with L and R even after more than 10 years in the U.S., but stop making fun of Japanese!!! Quote
DTMX Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Some of this has to do with the way English characters are pronounced in Japanese. For example: the letter 'a' is pronounced 'ah' and the letter 'i' is pronounced like a long e, 'ee'. Also, the only consonant that can end a word is 'n', so any other word ending in a consonant gets an almost silent 'u' (pronounced 'ooo') put on the end of it, unless it's better to leave it off and go with the last vowel in the word. And sometimes syllables get broken up and have the 'ooo' inserted between them. So that's why a friend of mine pronounces two of his favorite saxophonists as "Sam-ooo Reev-ahs-ooo" and "Ah-roo too Peh-pah". Of course, when he says the words quickly it doesn't sound so drawn out as spelled previously. Wish I had a picture of the "No Smorking" sign I saw on a train outside Tokyo. What made it funny was the guy smoking a cigarette in front of it - at least he wasn't smorking. Quote

DTMX Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 I saw a Plince CD for sale in Honjo but I didn't buy it because it didn't have Lasbelly Belet on it. Half the songs on the CD were recorded by Plince, the other half by Elvis. Something about it made me think it wasn't an official release. Quote
