One of my favorite TV programs is Soramimi Hour. Then Bill (thank you!) gave me this very interesting link, a Japanese version of Sorammimi!. This is a song "Funkastic" by the Japanese Rap band Rip Slyme. Yes completely Japanese song basically. But their liric sounds like this?. Even the English part, sounds like different way. ha ha ha. They say each letter like F-U-N-..., it sounds "Have a(F) good(U) yam(N) key(K), And a(A) crus(S)ty(T) eye(I), See(C)" this mean? He gave me a information that this Pokemon ending theme song 151=Hyakugojyuuichi is famous too. Check this out!.
(Japanese original)
Kimi-tachi to no deai wa zenbu
Chanto oboete 'ru
Kizutsukeatta koto mo atta kedo Sore wa (e~to) wasureta
becomes
(English Soramimi)
TV says, donuts are high in fat, kazoo.
Found a hobo in my room.
It's Princess Leia, the yodel of life; Give me my sweater back or I'll play the guitar!
omoshiroi!(funny) :-)
Ah this week, 2channel had to be a topic of the news(JP) again, public university entrance exam=center shiken started last Saturday. Then they say some keywords for the test were up on 2 channel before the exam. For example, a borad titiled "Pat's young brother Kevin", opened. Kevin appeared in this year's English test, and Pat appeared in last year's English test. There were some such small hints written in too. Now police are searching for whoever put them on 2ch board.
HAH!! those videos are CRAZY! Soramimi could be a fun mnemonic, if you are trying to learn Nihongo or English. It gets you used to thinking in the pattern of the language...of course it could also leave you mentally disturbed.
Tsk Tsk 2channel..you should know, Kevin was actually adopted. Pat's real brother is none other than Racer X...
You know, rather than trying to catch people at this kind of behaviour, the places conducting the tests could use decoy, misinformation, which looked as legit as the other keywords. It would simply be a matter of applying the original message into different phrasing. It might not stop the behaviour entirely, but it would be effective in limiting its success. a personal message from your friendly neighborhood oyaji kiddies:
"Cheating at anything only makes it easier for you to be cheated." ...and that's one to grow on. ;p
