Tuesday at 9:27 pm
markobe8さん、一緒に行きましょう! Let’s go to the game together!
Rigo–san, thanks! And the video is coming very soon.
Promise it will be worth it! It’s starring Sakura!
Wednesday at 12:43 am
I can’t wait for the video either!!
In the meantime, please have a look at my little movie. I had lunch with Peter et al in October, 2007!!

Wednesday at 1:09 am
Liz-san, resorting to blackmail, I see.
Expect the movie soon!!!
Wednesday at 2:03 am
Are! No newbie lesson this week?… Cho unkool! robbed!
Wednesday at 3:12 am
Liz - speaking of the video .. Peter seems to remind me a bit of Ross from Friends tehehhe never noticed before but yep there is a def resemblance.
Wednesday at 3:39 am
id better not say-san, that was below the belt.
Hehe, I think I saw it too.
e-san, there are years-and-years to come! よろしくおねがいします!
And we have some really interesting things coming up over the next few months!
Wednesday at 5:21 am
o_O'’
I am really horrible at that, but: did someone fast forward Peter after the second minute? It sounds kinda funny. XD
And I am looking forward to the Golden Week. ^^
Wednesday at 5:55 am
I definitely think e needs to study more Japanese if he doesn’t realise the significance of Golden Week
Wednesday at 7:53 am
What is golden week? Is it a special occasion in Japan?
Wednesday at 11:45 am
watermenさん、great question!
golden week is a string of national holidays that happen to occur near each other. golden week and o-shogatsu (new years holiday) are probably the only 2 vacation opportunities for workers in japan. nice weather finally sets in and many people leave tokyo and osaka and return to their home towns to see family and old friends. o-bon is another time but it’s only 3 days.
here’s a classic JCC, i learned the origin on golden week here:

markobe8さん、
and tomorrow’s match up is going to be good! really excited about this game!
if you have the time, this is one game you don’t wanna miss! the weather report is looking good for tomorrow!
eさん、plenty more right around the corner! we just wanted to give naomiさん a well-deserved rest! have no fear! when the newbie series returns, it’s building up to an exciting climax! i’m looking forward to it!!
lizさん、there may still be time to catch a flight from chicago to meet us for the game!
よろしくね!
Wednesday at 6:27 pm
marky-san: I WISH!!!
Wednesday at 7:00 pm

Thursday at 4:23 am
Have a great break
Thursday at 8:45 am
JPOD staff- Sumimasen, I wasnt that angry, shojiki.
I’m just going through withdrawls!(actually I dont consider myself a newbie but I like to listen to the newbie lessons because Naomiさん and Rebbecaさん have such nice voices.) Please forgive my outburst.
I know all of you at Jpod work really hard to bring us great content! I really enjoy listening!Thank you so much, and please enjoy Golden week!!!
ジャービジ: I know all about Golden Week. I have lived in Japan…twice! I must say I miss it a great deal. Thats why I’m brushing up on my Japanese, in preparation of a third act… demo, you are right I do need to study more…
Thursday at 9:44 am
You guys are lucky Darvish pitched last night! Chiba might actually stand a chance of winning tonight. Our pitcher tonight Yoshikawa is rubbish and always goes for a few home runs.
Would come and watch it with you guys since I heard before you were in the visitors section but I’m a bit too far away and have to work.
GO FIGHTERS!
Thursday at 12:35 pm
No, GO MARINES!!!
Thursday at 12:37 pm
Check it out, the Chiba Lotte Marines website:

Friday at 12:24 am
I’m still half way around the world. Might see the Mud Hens this weekend, though.
Friday at 11:25 am
Can’t resisit!
Hope everyone enjoyed the game!
Friday at 12:42 pm
楽しかったー!
the marines didn’t win, but i think that was the first time i’ve had a hot dog in 5 years or (maybe) more. hahahaha
it was great meeting everybody. since we have such great listeners, it’s always a pleasure to meet face-to-face. really a wonderful time. hope we can do it again!

ちなみに、私はゴールデンウィークに実家の長野に帰りますよ。
