Alright, this is the lesson you’ve all been waiting for! Today we introduce you to some pickup lines, albeit very poor ones, if you can even call them that. You don’t want to miss this one, as we show you how to shower compliments on members of the opposite sex. Not only do we teach you the phrases, Kazunori and I test them out on Natsuko…..tune in to see what happens! Disclaimer: Japanesepod101.com is not responsible or liable for consequences resulting from repeating these phrases in public! Enjoy!

We’ve been missing an opening theme for the past 5 lessons, but that all changed today! Our latest hero, Kazushi Takada, cut a new opening intro for us, using Sakura’s vocals. We’ll be using this one for a while, so we take the time to break it down for you and explain the Japanese as this will be daily practice for you. So be sure to iTune in!
