I mean, it's not like Sachiko is blatantly a Japanese name or anything :oops: Btw, same goes for Megumi, and of course Chigusa. JPod sure has good taste in women :wink::lol: I agree Sachiko’s accent is very good, and when I first heard her I thought ‘why have they got an American teaching on the show?’.

Same for me... :wink: Sachiko-san, your american accent is amazing. I don't know how you do it! Myself, when I speaks english, I have a strong french accent and I can't do anything about that... :cry: In the other hand, I like better the english (or even the Irish or Scotish) accent. :razz: I also think that it wasn't a bad call, and if it's possible, the the Gaijin track should be offered as a bonus track.

If the script calls for a Gaijin in a conversation, then the actor better sounds like a Gaijin as long as it is explained that role is of a Gaijin. So, Markystar, I wouldn't call that a bad call at all. It is the correct call. And it's not like jpod101 suffers from American-accented Japanese all the time. So, things like these once-in-while would just spice things up a bit. Interesting move. Keep the surprises coming! Oh, and BTW.
