Italian Japanese Language School (Rahmens) - Subtitled

This a performance from the Japanese comedy group ラーメンズ (Rahmens), performing one of their many skits on Japanese language being taught by foreigners.

This one is about the prefectures of Japan. I made English subtitles and commentary on some of the finer points of the comedy.

The original video, without subtitles, can be found here:

Enjoy.

Given the way they write out these portmanteaus in that flash video with the cats, I think Kayama Hiroshi and Chiba Ai were supposed to be personal names, and the following impression of the students making an end of year speech is probably meant to be in the voice of this "Kayama Hiroshi." Aside from that and the other things people commented on, great subtitling!

@noisydoll168 Yeah, I definitely wouldn't have figured out that those were supposed to be personal names or that they satirizing an end-of-the-year speech. Thanks. : )

O____O why did u do this?

[IJethrobot]

@nonsonounemogiuro I did it because

1) I like Japanese comedy,

2) I want to expose that comedy to others, and

3) It's good practice for my listening and translations skills.

Why did you watch it?

Kyonara probably means a big fart. Kyo as in kyodai for "gigantic" and nara as in onara for "fart".

[IJethrobot]

@CIKASA Yeah, I remember reading that in a comment on another video somewhere else, but I wasn't sure if it was right or not. おなら isn't *really* a word in my usual Japanese repertoire (maybe I just haven't found the right Japanese people to talk about such things yet!), so that joke flew right over my head.

Anyway, thanks for confirming that. : )
