YouTube’s TkyoSam very kindly did an ad-hoc interview with me…unfortunately it’s in English. Fear not, I have finally acquired a camera [inherited from TkyoSam, actually], so Japanese stuff shall be forthcoming.

Um…this really was ad hoc. TkyoSam walked into my fortress of solitude while I was watching Dragon Ball Z in Cantonese, and turned his camera on. My posture, hair and make-up would make any mother weep. (To Mum: deal). Notice how the Cantonese ball kept rolling even while we used this non-Cantonese thing.

It’s funny because we’d tried making semi-scripted versions of this before, with digital effects and light sabers and Gollum, so I figured this was just us doing our umpteenth “screen test”. But the rawness of this is cool. Thank ye, Sam of Tkyo!

Anyway…yeah. Video. Me. In. Three parts.

お待たせしました！日本語上等ポッドキャスト第3回！フゥー！

トニー、宜しくね！

OK, so…Tony won that little competition that Keiko announced in the previous podcast. Good job!

For your reading pleasure, here’s the script he transcribed.

And here’s the manganization by Keiko…It ended up being 5 齣….rejoice!

齋藤の圭子 (Keiko of the House of Saito) and I return! With more ME speaking 日本語nese! And Keiko, also in, ehh, Japanese! And stuff! Be sure to listen in for the special challenge at the end of the show…send your replies by email.

Here’s the cast of pod….

Hint: the challenge is to transcribe the program. Winner gets be四齣漫画ed by Keiko…

So, there’s this new thing called podcasting, you may have heard of it. And I’m doing it with my friend 齋藤の圭子 (Keiko of the House of Saito). Well, at this stage, it’s less podcasting and more just talking. What else — oh yeah — it’s got ME speaking 日本語nese! And Keiko, also in, ehh, Japanese! And stuff!

The idea is to do a bunch of these really short (3 minute-ish) thingies. Feel free to shout out your requests in terms of things you’d like to hear us talk about. Use email or comments. OK, well, 4649 knee.

Here is the first one…indeed, the only one so far.
