Mina-san, which host’s bromide would you want on your wall?

Is this ブロマイド Marubell in Asakusa by any chance? If so I bought a bunch of stuff from there last year, lots of photos of people like Wakayama Tomisaburo, Kishi Keiko, Kaji Meiko , Kishida Kyoko and the like. Think the guy was a little perplexed by a middle aged Aussie buying up photos of ’60’s movie stars, but, made great souvenirs and even better postcards.
In regards to your question, no thanks, I prefer the mystery!

I only know a few Japanese celebrities like Ue Aida and Erika Toda. It’s hard to remember unfamiliar names
I liked Naomi’s variations of すごい
She is one of my favourite jpod アイドル
I noticed Naomi pronounced her すごい with a hard ご sound. She is from outside Tokyo isn’t she (I forget if it was mentioned)? Standard Tokyo dialect speakers pronounce がぎぐげご with a softer ngya sort of sound when they appear within a word or as the particle が, right?
I first noticed this in the postcard series because I couldn’t work out why my 葉書が来た sounded nothing like Yoshikai’s, but then I started imitating Sachiko’s ですが (so maybe this is the case in Oosaka too). I bring it up because I don’t think it’s been mentioned anywhere.

違う、違う。一足す一は三です。
That’s what was concluded in episode 1 of the new jdorama エジソンの母, which just aired this week.

This lesson is interesting, never know that such kind of shops existed.
Sunday at 8:23 am
Mina-sama!
I’m surprise to see a Premium Lesson has free content!
BTW that’s a really nice picture.
I want a picture of Shina Ringo and all the JDorama idols series.

I saw some of these places in Osaka, though I never went inside…
Sunday at 2:17 pm
stuさん、this one is in 原宿 (harajuku) near the station. i think it’s a kinda famous place simply because of its location.
ジャブちゃん、i’ve noticed she does that softer sound with ですが but i’ve never heard he do it with すごい, i’m going to start listening closer from now own.
Sindyシンディーさん、whoops, looks like some people got lucky.
not a freebie anymore!

Who takes the bromide photos? Are there special bromide photographers?
Monday at 5:39 am
Thanks a lot for the lesson ! 相変わらずすごかった。
One thing though… both this week and last week’s premium lessons were very short in term of japanese text…but introduced some peculiarities of japanese life. I can see that producing long text lessons 6 days a week is a lot of work, so maybe the short premium lessons could be more focused on the culture part than on the language (grammar etc) part, a bit like the old JCCs (which I really miss a lot)?…

It looked like you could buy these and make T-shirts out of them or buttons or something? Is that right?
Monday at 2:16 pm
Ooh! Give me 槙原敬之 any day! Would his photo be found in such a place, even though he’s kind of older now and not as popular?…I still think he’s a doll!….ALSO - the boys from BEAUTY BOYS CELEBRITY! Soooooo cute!!!! ^_^
Wednesday at 1:53 pm
I have the same question as sTeVe aUsTiNさん. Is there someone taking the photo for you? Or are there machines or something like a booth that you enter to take a photo of yourself like a 証明写真?
(sTeVe aUsTiNさんと同じ質問があります。写真をとってくれる人とかがいるんですか?それか証明写真みたいに写真を自分で撮れる機械や入られるブースとかがあるんですか?)

Hi Peter,
My friend, who’s learning Chinese from ChinesePod told me this web. I think your site is even better than the Chinese one. I like the idea that you invite different Japanese native speakers, especially love Sakura’s !! But would you ask people to introduce themselves a bit more? like, their hometown.
But, there’s one point I don’t agree in this episode. I think Yilin(Jolin Tsai) is a great dancer, even though she’s not a great singer, but still, it sounds a little bit offensive when you said she’s only phisically …
You may not know that your listeners are from different culture
Hope you create more great shows!

Xu Ying (中文名字?), thanks for your support and opinion. We’ll be sure to pass it on. I too am a big fan of Jolin, I didn’t realise her Chinese name was yilin.

I’m an amateur photographer, and it seems a bit odd to me to call a color picture a Bromide. Silver bromide papers are a very rich black and white medium, particularly for fine art. Oriental (
) is a company that makes such paper. They’re one of the first to provide true bromide printer paper, but there is no silver in it.
sTeVe aUsTiN, to answer your question: no, the photographer simply gets the prints on a special high quality paper.
