Hi, James. Well, if you live anywhere near Tokyo you must come round to this little bar sometime. It's got a great atmosphere!

Actually, she's just introducing everyone, going clockwise round the group. The person to my right is "Aki-chan" (not "aka-chan"!), so she says her name immediately before saying mine.
