(Please correct me if I'm wrong about who does the voice of Fabrizio.) I think JPod101 needs to put more foreign accents with the voice actors speaking Japanese, than they do with who's hosting the show. Guess I've gotten used to Peterさん over the years that anyone new takes some getting used to.

While (obviously) your japanese is flawless, and your Australian accent is beautiful, I thought it kind of funny that one of the first words they have you pronounce on your first lesson is "horror"....which sounds like "hora" in japanese, and sounds the same in english with your accent.... I had a sudden flash of "who's on first"... {'what's the japanese word?" "hora" "and what does it mean in english?" "hora" "no, in english" "hora"...). Very much enjoyed the lesson, and welcome again!! docmac Welcome Rebecca!

Considering it's aimed at the lower end of the market (heck, it's technically not even beer, it's 'リキュル'), it's actually really nice. I'm actually drinking it in preference to Asahi Super Dry or Kirin Ichiban, where previously I wouldn't touch anything else. I'm sure it's not just my Scottish heritage that's making this cheaper alternative seem so much better... :wink: To return to the sub-topic of beer, has anyone tried ‘Sparkling Hop’?

I find it much scarier than "The Ring". :roll: I also thing that Juon is the best Japanese horror movie for now. I find it much scarier than “The Ring”. :roll:

Some parts are absolutely weird, but over all its a very gruesome and disturbing movie. Rolly from the J-Rock group Skanch is in to too. I love watching him and Marty Friedman on Rock Fujiyama! You will definitely find some parts very funny though. This is supposed to be part of a trilogy. The second movie is "Noriko's Dinner Table" (I think thats the right title) and the 3rd movie hasn't been made yet. I'm going to try and get the 2nd movie soon, I let you know if it's worth watching. I really liked the The Grudge(USA) too! Especially the second one! I did notice that the Japanese originals might be a little difficult for an American audience to follow because they approach film making and story telling a little differently. I had to watch it a second time through, 恐ろしいですね！:shock: Junさん！You met the director!? He did seem a little strange from the interview I saw. :mrgreen: Even though it isn't horror, I also recommend the movie "Azumi"! Stuさん、ありがとうございます！ I will be sure to look into those movies!

LOL :lol: as for Juon... does everyone know that Juon was made for J-Cable TV first. so there is video Juon then J-theatre Juon then American Juon. then there was video Juon 2 and J-Theatre Juon 2 and then American Juon 2 i loved the J-Video versions, but i have to say, the american versions weren't bad at all. and the production was probably a little bit better. :mrgreen: スコットさん、

Ugetsu Monogatari by Mizoguchi Kenji. Kwaidan (Kaidan) by Kobayashi Masaki. Onibaba by Kaneto Shindo. Kuroneko by Kaneto Shindo. The first half of this is some of the greatest cinema I've seen. スコットさん　I can recommend the following films, they’re all from the sixties and are pretty tame compared to modern Japanese movies like Audition by Miike Takashi, in fact they’re more ghost stories than horror but are all awesome and great for the squeamish (like me) who still like to be scared or just a little freaked out.
