brbmodernizing[The camera clicks on, and there's a very focused Japan before he realizes the light has flashed on and bows his head a little. He's sitting in his room, hands now on his lap politely.]
Um, is this working? It seems to be...
Hello, everyone. Oh, um, I am the country of Japan, for those who have not met me. ..I hope I am not troubling anyone.. but it seems that failure to use these devices results in... rather unsettling shocks. That, and.. I wanted to properly learn how to use this device. It's so strange... so small, how can it do all of these things...
If you do not consider it a waste of time, perhaps those of you that have been here longer than I could answer a few questions?
Um, I suppose simple conversation is welcomed as well, if anyone is interested in that. It would at least... provide practice for using this device, as well as company.
Thank you all for your time..!
[Another little bow, and he ends the feed.]

Date: 2010-04-09 07:08 am (UTC)If you need any questions answered, I'll do my best to answer them for you.
[ Audio // Japanese ]
Date: 2010-04-09 07:09 am (UTC)..I appreciate that, Seguchi-san.
[ Audio // Japanese ]
Date: 2010-04-09 07:15 am (UTC)Ah, I see you remembered my name.
[ Audio // Japanese ] 1/2
Date: 2010-04-09 07:18 am (UTC)[fdsgfsdg Japan is thinking about this. He's ahead of America AND England? THIS IS. AMAZING.]
[ Audio // Japanese ] 2/2
Date: 2010-04-09 07:19 am (UTC)...
I do my best to remember the names of those I meet, yes.
[ Audio // Japanese ]
Date: 2010-04-09 07:27 am (UTC)If you want technology first, you go to Japan. Things like video games and manga sell quite well, too. A lot of foreigners actually import the original product due to impatience or love of "the original." So, we're definitely on top in that area.
I'm honored! Although I'm not really sure what I should call you. Is Japan-san okay? Would you like something else? Do you make more of an effort to learn the names of Japanese citizens?
[ Audio // Japanese ]
Date: 2010-04-09 07:34 am (UTC)Ah, you may call me Japan.. Japan-san is just fine. Um.. I have a human name, as well, but I am afraid that may complicate things...
...I do not know if I would say "more of an effort." Perhaps, instead, that Japanese names are easier for me to recall. That may be the case.
[ Audio // Japanese ]
Date: 2010-04-09 07:45 am (UTC)It doesn't matter what my preferences are. If you have a particular name you favor, I'll call you that.
That makes sense. Western names in particular are more difficult to remember, aren't they?
[ Audio // Japanese ]
Date: 2010-04-09 07:47 am (UTC)[He really is, even though he's acting all calm and polite. He seems thoughtfully silent for another moment.]
I suppose Japan is just fine. I will save my human name for a time when it is necessary..
Western names are quite difficult, yes.
[ Audio // Japanese ]
Date: 2010-04-09 08:09 am (UTC)Japan-san it is. [ Okay. He kind of lied. Nobody gets away from Tohma without getting an honorific. ]
Most Western names are horrible sounding. They're not poetic and they're difficult to say.
[ Audio // Japanese ]
Date: 2010-04-09 08:14 am (UTC)Western names.. they are interesting, aren't they? [He hesitates] I somehow think someone from America-san's place would not be aiming to be "poetic".. It seems more like they would want to.. stand out. I suppose it makes sense, if you think about the countries..
[ Audio // Japanese ]
Date: 2010-04-10 05:25 am (UTC)Yes, Western names are definitely interesting! I just think many of them are too rough sounding. Their naming scheme may very well be meant to just stand out... but I don't think it works very well. There's only twenty-six letters.

Date: 2010-04-10 06:10 am (UTC)English is very simplistic. The only thing really going for it is how specific it is. We don't have words to differentiate a lot of things. For example, as you know, the kanji for mouse and rat is exactly the same. So is the kanji for sheep and goat.

Date: 2010-04-10 06:13 am (UTC)...Do you think Danish will be difficult to learn? [Denmark tricked him sob]
[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 06:16 am (UTC)[...]
You spoke with Denmark, didn't you. [ Not a question but a statement. ] I suggest you ignore him if you don't want a headache, especially after his declarations of owning Discedo.
[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 06:20 am (UTC)...
Ah, Denmark-san is a good acquaintance and friend. I hope to be on good terms with him, and so...
[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 06:25 am (UTC)I don't think he's a bad person, just that he's... loud. And not the brightest crayon in the box.... He just needs to stop trying to take over Discedo.
[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 06:40 am (UTC)..Um, he means well, I am sure. ...a lot of western countries are loud.
[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 06:44 am (UTC)...That's true. Maybe someone should make him oolong tea and calm him down a little?
[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 06:45 am (UTC)[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 06:51 am (UTC)[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 07:00 am (UTC)[Because you know that would solve everything]
[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 07:04 am (UTC)[ It would! ]
[ Audio // English ]
Date: 2010-04-10 07:12 am (UTC)[Uh that's not supposed to sound bad in Japan's mind. Ohoh]
