Very fitting finish to 2015. みんなお疲れさまでした。 Well done and let hope for the best in the post-Sawa era in 2016.
Always thanks for your effort. I think you should omit (英語スレッド), because every thread in this forum is written in English.
It was intended to make this thread easier to find for people who were generically looking for Nadeshiko Japan related news on the internet, and not only on this forum, so I guess i'm going to keep (英語スレッド) at least for this year (until I got an evidence that no Japanese people can be attracted here this way, I'll keep hoping that it's possible... ). Meanwhile, I just saw on TV that in Tokyo it's already 2016. Good year, unepomme! Still three hours to go here in Italy!
One of Japanese New Year traditions, Hanetsuki (Japanese badminton): http://tv2ch.com/jlab-tv/3/s/tv3-160101002918.jpg http://tv2ch.com/jlab-tv/3/s/tv3-160101002829.jpg
Here's the video link for the TV show about Sawa's retirement (aired on 31/Dec/2015). http://www.vdbkm.com/player/394775/1
Is Yoko Tanaka as good as Hanetsuki as she is at football? Sorry, but I am not sure about who the other girls is... Kawashima? I am just up, after New Year's Eve night, it's about 9:00 here in Italy... The new thread is going to take form right now... We're going to post there from now on. I'll answer there to the Sawa video, that I haven't seen yet but I am sure will be awesome. Thank you very much, Titus Sol. Oh, after I created the 2016 thread, I am going to post a private message to our moderator Dax, to ask him to lock this thread.
Ok, the new thread is now up. I've asked moderator Dax to lock this one, so please start posting in the new thread right away.
