And... we're off! Last year's thread (400 pages, 10k posts) can be found here. Just to make it clear what the Japan forum is all about: Numbers don't lie. Happy new year mina-san!
Thanks, AndG. 2013 is a snake year in Japan. I'll be really enjoying reading this thread! Kotoshi Mo Yoroshiku, everyone.
Happy new year to everyone here, I hope we get more posts this new year and if I can write the last one like in the other one I will be very very happy
Hey And G, that's not fair! I wanted to be the one to open the Official 2013 Nadeshiko Japan Thread, but you beat me, because you actually opened it.... when still in 2012!!! And you forgot to add... "Part I" to the name of the thread! ROTFL Well, I guess everyone has it quite clear... We're da boss. By the way: I am gonna put a link to this new thread on the old one (I don't think it's locked yet; is there a way we could warn a mod that it needs to be locked now? I hope that, one by one, all the posters will migrate here, being aware that this new thread has been opened, but anyway locking the old one would be better).
Has it a particular meaning in Japanese zodiac? Mmm... I am gonna guess: does it mean "happy new year" in Japanese?
あけましておめでとうございます！今年もよろしくお願いします。 Happy New Year! You can't beat Ehime for the stuff they put on their website.
For 'Happy New Year' you say 'Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu'. 'Kotoshi Mo Yoroshiku' is basically 'Please regard me favourably this year too'. By the way Amano Misaki always greets everyone in Italian.
Happy New Year everyone! And we'll certainly regard the Nadeshiko favourably this year too. (I can't believe my "Part 1" thread actually made it to 31 December. )
Maybe, but I don't know about it well. Anyway I don't think it has good characters. And the Snake is my year so that my age becomes one of multiples of 12. I reach the age of one of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84 or 96 this year; I'm afraid to say it's not 108.
Is Kochira Koso still a valid response if everyone is addressed? So it must be 96, then. That's a good number, it's divisible by 16. Not in Japan. By the way, the men's 2013 thread exists since early December, and they're only just on page three, lol.

Yes, unepomme is an old sage. (I actually wanted to use a smiley that *nods*, but apparently we're quite poor in smileys' variety...)
Nahomi Kawasumi gets ambushed by 2 guys in really bad wigs (although to be fair, is there such a thing as a really good wig?):
That's Pele trick. He suppousedly during his training practices many times had placed a stool in the PK box and tried to shoot a long ball from other half on top of it, thus learning accuracy. Neat trick but only for masters and Sawa definitely applies
Well, Patorikku, do you receive private updates from Moukoko's youtube channel? I've got the feeling I saw something like this... If not, just message him: he never denied his videos to a Nadeshiko Japan thread's friend!
