This website is just awesome. My motivation to improve my japanese is becoming higher and higher. Thank you so much.
I suggest to go to the halloween party as a forensic doctor. Be sure you have to make some examinations…will be a lot of corpses over there!

JPOD Team:
I’m really looking forward to Season 2 Genius Idea!! It’s just what I need right now. I have made a pledge to get really serious about learning Japanese and I know this will help consolidate what I have or haven’t learned. 
Yoshi-san: Of course, Halloween would be your favorite holiday!!! Another chance to be wild and crazy!! 
Peter-san: Why not go as “Shakespeare Takahashi”?? You can create your own idea of what he would look like. It would be an “in joke” for JPOD listeners. 
JPOD Team: This newscast had me laughing out loud!

I forgot to say, the Audio Dictionary is great. I went to the Learning Center and clicked on All Lesson Vocabulary. 1,934 words! 
You can replay, repeat, say it, etc.!! I’m sure we will all have beautiful Japanese accents now!

I’ll try in Japanese first:
Peter-さん、ハロウィーンの衣装はい iPodどうですか？画面で Japanesepod101.comを書いていいですよ。（クラブに入るのJPOD101 の聞き手 直ちにお見知りですから。。）
あのiLoveでよしーさんの小鬢は 。。よしーさん筆の衣装はどう? 髪のでゲルをたくさんが要りますんですけど。。奔放な考案し足りないかもしれない。。それで、ペンギんどう？ JPOD101なかにたくさん反骨ペンギ が いまね ［逃げて、懐かしくて、新鮮な魚を食べたペンギン。。］。
ちうさーさんは猫のだけ衣装は妥当でしょう。。
皆さん、頑張ってくださいんね
.. and in case my effort was poor.. in English:
Peter-san, why don’t you go as an..iPod! You could put Japanesepod101 on the screen as publicity (you will be instantly recognised by any listener wandering in…)
If the lock in ilove is anything to go by, Yoshi-san could go as a paintbrush (need a lot of gel to keep the hair up, but..) Maybe not wild enough? what about a penguin (we have a lot of wild penguins in Jpod101, escaping, nostalgic for their own hometown’s fresh fish…) 
..and Chigusa-san cannot go but as a cat… 
!
Have fun- sorry I am too far to join you.

Peter-san dress has an ipod ver funny mikuji I also dress in my school days has witch ehehehehe and I had my broom with me ready to fly all night long!
I think Peter-san should go has super-man he would like nice , Yoshi-san should go has Yoshi from Mario Bros and Chigusa should go has a princess you deserve it!
So what do you think? eehh 
Finally I agree with Liz-san, Gerd and Mikuji comments
The dictionary sounds attractive later on I’ll give you a surprise JP101 and pay for the premium edition!
My favorite holiday is Christmas so be sure to do a Cristmas lesson at the end of the year ok! S_R_C

Sindy -san
if your favorite holiday is christmas, you should be a christmas tree for halloween…and make one of your friends be santa…that way you can celebrate christmas twice

The Halloween party sounds like fun (he says wistfully), but Tokyo’s a bit far for a long weekend trip from here 3000 people, that’s a big venue. The crush at the bar must be really something
It’s been a while since I dressed up. Here’s (a poor quality) one of me from 10 years ago. Dress light. Masks, wigs & bulky costumes are way too hot for wearing the entire night. Actor’s grease paint works well if you can get it, but it pays to put some face lotion on first, otherwise it’s tricky to get the grease paint off afterwards. Have fun.
The pronunciation dictionary will be useful, especially to check for unvoiced vowels in words. I’m also looking forward to next weeks video. I’ll try to get an entry in for the artwork contest, but am really busy at the moment, so we will have to see.

Peterさん、
Did you say “temporary” insanity?

ハローウィンパーティーに行きたいんですけど、ほかの予定がありますよ。残念ですね。
I’d love to go to the halloween party at ageha and put faces with the names, but i’ve got another plan that night. too bad.
Eranさんん mentioned it to me earlier today actually.

ハロウィーンのパーティーに行きたいんですが、ちょっと。。
ピーターさんとよしさんの変装を見たいです。ちぐさ姫とさくら姫とたかせ姫も会いたいですけど、電車の時刻表と地図を見ましたが、行けないと思います。残念ですよ。
十月二十七日に関西空港に着陸しますが、高知まで行かなければなりません。二十八日から四国の遍路道をハイキングします。それから東京に行く難しいですね。四国に友達に会わなければなるから、計画を変えられません。
それに、ageHaは大きな若者たちの所だと思う。私は祖父だから時差ぼけでむろし静かに敬老の日の祝いに行くべきだろう？
来年は成田空港に着陸します！

2-3000 people in one club! Wow! Sounds like it will be an awesome party. I wish I were there to be able to meet with ya’ll. I especially would love to meet Chigusa. She is gorgeous and I love her voice and , best of all, her laughter.
Have a great time at the club.
