Haha Neil-san’s face was classic
こんやくしゃ？！！

Angry Nanase was good too. What will she kick next?

あのななせさんの携帯は電話受けた番号のメモリーがありますかしら。。。。

Very good - these videos are getting better and better!

Thanks. I listened in Japanese only first and I was thrilled to see I could understand quite a bit .

次の番組を楽しみにします！

mikuji

とてもおもしろいね

Did anyone else spot that Junji was wearing only one sock? Was there a reason for this?

私も次のを楽しみにしている。

Johnさんー The skirt and pants combination is actual very stylish. but they are not called pants, they are called leggings and they provide extra warmth when its cold outside

i like junji’s hat

i hope Neil doesn’t give up!

Hey JP101 and Listeners!

The video was very short and you guys keep me wanting for more!

Great job now that I saw Neil-san he looks very attractive so it would be hard to know who she would pick:???: Brody-san is also very attractive too but he is hasn’t done anything like Neil-san is doing to know what happen?

Anyway Nanase-san you look great with those clothes whatever your choice is, I wish you the best of the best, you deserve it. Good Luck!

Katie-san welcome back! I agree with you I liked Junji-san hat too!
But I really don’t care about fashion so I’m not buying nanase-san clothes, only the hat! S_R_C

PS: ohhh I forgot to mention Mikuji-san video I saw the video and it was very nice I like it! The show or soup opera not sure is a typical family show!

Maybe I’ll try it out but I don’t know where to see it, you didn’t gave the link of the webpage, the producer company or so it will be hard to know:???:

I’ll check www.youtube.com
I recommend it great videos await you there! S_R_C

皆さん、
As I will be away and celebrate Christmas and New Year with my in-laws I won’t be able to get online until the new year, just want to say:
メリークリスマス！　　明けましておめでとうございます！！

It’s been a great year and I enjoyed most lessons （intermediate and above lessons are beyond my reach at the moment as I’m still a beginner, but I will definately catch up next year).

JPod の皆さん、ありがどうございます。おつかれさまでした。

OK Liz. Maybe you were right. Junji-san is a creep.

And to Neil I say don’t worry. JP101 wouldn’t give a bad ending to the story. You’ll get Nanase-san!

Junji is so bad,
but this video is great,
the suspense kills me.

Johnさん,
that style is still going strong in japan. leggings with shorts are also very popular. personally i kind of like the style.
and, i am amazed at what people will post on mixi. but i’ve seen far stranger things in Japan.

Paulさん,
i’ve given up expecting the typical happy ending since i started watching j-drama.

ヴィッキさん、
Well sure with boots with leggings look a little different. Then it almost looks like at skirt with very dark tights.
I have to laugh a little at all this. I went skirt shopping with my 14 year old daughter a few months ago. She wanted to dress up a little more than her typical low-rise jeans. We would see something that looked like a skirt on the rack, take it off the rack, and then discover that it was actually wide legged pants. There were very few skirts in the stores although we did eventually find and buy a couple.
Personally, I don’t say anything to my daughter about what she wears. I think this avoids unnecessary conflict. I will hold my peace until some more important issue comes up.

Hi mina-san,

I’m catching up and really enjoyed the video, Neil-san is excellent!
I thought bad-mood Nanase-san was very good too, if slightly careless with her keitai. And I couldn’t help wishing all kind of bad things on Junji-san.

Seeing how Nanase-san looks like when she’s in a dark mood, I think she is going to pounce on Junji-san when she finds out what happened, and it will hurt.

Hey, my first post on JPod101!
Just found this great feature and I’m really enjoying it! I actually think Junji-san is really funny, especially the bit about Neil’s video being like a “science experiment gone wrong” and that she hated it so much she wanted to destroy the tape! He’s such a devious creep it’s actually quite funny.

But then after this episode, I’m starting to feel a bit sorry for her and yeah, maybe Junji is taking it a bit too far. What’s so great about this Mike guy anyway who he’s rooting for? Have we seen him yet?

This is a great series and its a great way to learn Japanese, but when I watch I just can’t help but laugh at the situation. I mean, Niel, you want a long-distance relationship with a girl you’ve never met for what reason or future plans?? Though it may be hilarious, taking any of these ideas out of the show would just make it more boring. Excellent work everyone! Thank you for doing this for us learners!

Just wanted to say that I didn’t realize DV camcorders can record at such good quality these days. Would love to see more Japanese dramas become popular on the net.

What happened with iLove?
Please release more episodes!

nice last life in the universe DVD, neil

Hi man,

I have just signed up two days ago, and this video programme is sooooo marvellous and it’s so additing!

Well, when is the next episode, Video #9 ?????
Hope it’s doesn’t have to wait long before I turn into a GIRAFFE…..

Great team! great work, Gambatte ne!!!

It’s been almost a year since the last video!? What happened to Nanase!!!???

I’ve just watched all of these in one morning - sugoi desu ne! Buut what happens next?! Don’t leave us hanging like this!!

i was trying to figure out from the last video what the deal with Chigusa was because she spoke both Japanese and American English fluently…yet her　一般的の 様子 only shows evidence of growing up in Japan.

then at the end of the video i think i found the answer! it was filmed in Mitaka, Tokyo, home of 国際基督教大学 which is where i studied as a 留学生. there are many native Japanese speakers who go there that are fluent in American and British english. chigusa-chan is not only hot, but smart too how can you not love that?

I was around when this was produced (you can see my video in one of the first episodes) and if I’m not mistaken chigusa-chan was studying in uhm canada(?) for a while and that’s why here english is so awesome. It’s better than mine o.O’

I got really sad when they didn’t finish this (I didn’t jump up and down screaming and crying but you get the deal )

Hope they will though… sometime, somewhere

Here it is two years later and still no finale to iLove? What’s happened to Chigusa and Yoshi? Last I heard Yoshi was touring the states. Is he still here or has he gone back to Japan? Sorry, I haven’t been keeping up with the new episodes in Jpod101.com other than Nihongo Dojo.

Hi there! I absolutely love the story, but it has no ending…
Dakara SHOOT THE ENDING ONEGAISHIMASU!!!!!

Bobo-san,
You are a nice story writer!

Alexander-san,
I am sorry to say that right now iLove is not in production. Chigusa (the lady in the show) is a very well known radio personality in Japan and therefore is extremely busy.

I’m sorry it took so long for you to get a response.

Jill san>そうでしょ　 　お楽しみに！

Patrick-san,
We are glad to know that you love our iLove series!
You’ll see our recent video on our Youtube channel.
