I guess looking back at some of the comments following my original one that I was wrong. I still think the Japanese he speaks sounds a little odd, but maybe it's just because I'm not used to Japanese from a white face without a foreign accent attached to it.
Damn that was funny. It was so bad that it was wonderful.
Also GlamMan's comment - I think he meant "english with japanese accent" but anyway that was hilarious too. It's like Steve Martin's old routine about the French "It's like they have a different word for EVERYTHING"
Hahahaha! I saw them sing this song on Youtube a long time ago but only saw the Adam and Joe clips tonight and I thought they were stealing the "Big in Japan" idea from "Gaijin Invasion"

Why on Earth does the gaijin presenter of the show speak in Japanese with a fake Japanese accent? It would be like me appearing on French TV and speaking like the French knights from Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
There is not a single way to speak a language correctly. The RP is just one of many dialects in the English language that happens to possess what sociolinguists call "prestige"; it is actually a social construct because any variant of a language is "correct" as long as it fulfils the act of communication. In the case of the English language, the RP (and in the US the General American) is just a standard that has acquired this "prestige" but that doesn't mean it is more correct.
erm, surely it's better to speak a foreign language in said languages accent than it is to speak it in your own accent...i happen to speak french fluently and you can be sure as hell that i dont speak it in an english accent....*rolls eyes*
that "Gaijin" presentor actually grew up in Japan all his life, even we(Japanese) can tell he doesn't have a FAKE ACCENT. he is one of the American Japanese and is not a ignorant sushi sushi stupid peice of shit gaijin like you.
I just got e-mailed about your response to my comment. You may well think that I'm an "ignorant sushi sushi stupid peice (sic) of shit gaijin", but I'm not the one trawling for things from a year ago to get angry about.
I did live in Japan for slightly over a year, so I wouldn't describe myself as totally ignorant.
Someone please provide chords or tabs for this catchy song!
