So you may recall a couple days ago when I blogged about "Death of a Samurai." anyhoo, I left a comment on the site, 'cause I'm a comment whore, and the resulting corespondence amused me if for no other reason than the Engrish involved, as well as that typical Japanese I invite you, you come! thing I love. Enjoy.
This post continues...
I just saw the performance of Death of a Samurai on Skyperfect TV. I was very impressed with the show. My complements go to the cast. Misume was extremely cute!
Sorry for the English, but my Japanese is poor. Made, jozu ja arimasen nee...

I would love to see your show live, but I live in Saga-ken which is far away, I think.
Oh, please wish 中谷-san happy birthday for me! It's a bit late of me, but I just saw the date on the members page...

p.s. despite being spelled the same, those are two different words "live" and "live" as in "live-action" sorry if that caused confusion

Dear clay
Sorry , I don't know you live in SAGA-ken.
It is far away.
It is difficult to come to see.
It is really regrettable.

I am telling your message to her.

No problem!
I didn't cause confusion.
Thnks.

I suggested being friends in the first place because I thought that was all she wanted. Everything she'd communicated to me up to that point suggested that. Also, she'd had the letter for 5 months without reading it. What would you have thought?
ReplyDeleteAnd I believe the guy you were quoting was Hatori Hanzo from the first Kill Bill movie. At least, he says something similar.
Lots of Japanese guys say stuff about cutting god down, as the kami-sama are a little more finite than the western version.
ReplyDeleteRaw deal, Jake. I feel for ya. But I gotta wonder why she didn't read your letter...
