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 famous figures in Japanese history being taught by Americans. I made English subtitles and commentary on some of the finer points of the comedy. This particular group loves replacing names with near-sounding English words.

The original video, without subtitles, can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJc9JKYhta4

Enjoy.

  • 5:30 「洗い中」じゃなくて、お笑い芸人の「荒井 注」さんですね^^;

    あと6:33は、正倉院の宝物の「螺鈿紫檀の五弦琵琶(らでんし­­たんのごげんびわ)」の事を言っているかと。

    

  • @anchoco1146 手伝いをくれてありがとう!アメリカ人ですから、少数のお笑い芸­人だけを知っているんです。 ^^;

    それから、「螺鈿紫檀の五弦琵琶」が本当に奥義の知識なあ・・・­お笑いの翻訳が難しくてもっと練習しなくてはいけないね。

    No no, you misunderstood.

    Rahmens did also another video: ラーメンズ 日本語学校中国編

    from the serie of the language schools (you did: america, italia, franch, african, there is also chinese one)

    watch in you tube watch?v=jUaLRKUatew

  • @alexdal Right, my bad-- my apologies. I do know about that one. I haven't much time these days to translate. It follows a similar pattern to the African Japanese Language School video, but it is funny in its own right.

  • Thank you for the subtitles. I watched these videos for years but now i can understand better.

    Have you time to subtitle also the chinese video? code:jUaLRKUatew

  • @alexdal Hey, you're exactly the type of people I made these subtitles for. I'm really glad you enjoyed it! : )

    Unfortunately, even though they share some written characters, Japanese and Chinese are completely different languages. I only know the former.
