JFF Yuta

This sounds awesome Yuta. I would LOVE to come to one of these. COuldn;t imagine a better way to see Mt Fuji than with the Japanese spin crew! 1000 poi! That will be like a fairy garden!

Looking forward to having your company here too. Bring some friends we can have a pre-Naranja party in Brisbane
if we get lucky you will kidnap us

That will be the best way to see Mt.Fuji.
And you'll see nice hot springs too

and yes, i'll bring my dance teacher with me to OZ

sounds excellent, yuta!

I have friends I could stay with in Shizuoka too! too bad I won't be back in Japan for a while

Sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't speak a word of Japanese

I find the ability to share a common activity transcends the need for spoken language.

No excuse, Jarle

ohohohohoooooo

i wanna come!

can i?

T

Maybe not this year, but I might be in Japan from August 2008 for a year Which will put me in good stead for this festival next year as well as the eclipse festival in 2009

Kanpai!

Oh man... Not this year but hopefully definately the next.

See ya in 2008.

>newgabe

>bender

>Rouge Dragon
Oh, that's shame.
So you've been in japan, hey?

>jarle

It's good experience to have a conversation with who doesn speak your language:)
That's right, we dont speak english much, but spin.

>[Nx?]
oh year, please come
You'll see japanese poi commuity.
we are different from other country actually.

i had many poi spinner from many country, but they all say they've never seen somebody who spin with business suit.


>Brenn
eclipse festival in 2009 is the one i want join too!
but JFF will be good experience too

>mcp
oh, come on!
you can join us this year too.

I wish, but it costs so much, I'd want to go for a long time, and experience more of japan... with my job, I can afford it, but I'd only be there for the weekend, cos I have very little time off. So I'll save my money and go next year... so I can be there for longer.

ahh man wish I could come I seriously wanna go to japan and spin but can't afford it This sucks

I'll definietly be there. I'm looking so much forward to it!

Yuta San,

ぜったい行くよ！すごいたのしそう！ Maybe you remember meeting me - I was the only foreigner at the Bon En Kai last December. I'll definitely be at the NFF 2007 (and I'm bring some friends)!!! I've been practicing poi for about an hour every day, can't wait, can't wait だよ! すごい行きたい！じゃまた九月、Andrew アンドリュー

Numerical gaelic? Mathematical Engrish? Lucky you for going, anyway

Yuta (and everyone),

I've just realised that typing Japanese charactors doesn't work on this website! :-( What I meant to say was,

Yuta San,

Zettai iku yo!! Sugoi tanoshisou! Tabun anata wa watashi o oboiteiru. Kyo nen no bon enkai, hitori gaijin shikashi inakatta - watashi desu!

I'll definitely be at the NFF 2007 (and I'm bring in some friends from Miyagi Ken)!! Saikin, mai nichi 1 jikan gurai poi no renshu suru! I can't wait for the NFF. Jyaa Mata Kyuu Gatsu,

Andrew

p.s. By the way, if anybody is going to this festival from abroad, and doesn't speak any Japanese, myself and my mate Adam can help out a bit - no worries, not excuses, COME COME COME to what will be an amazing spinning session!!! Japan has not only Yuta, but many many fantastic talented fire spinners, and they know how to party!

:-)

omg japanese is so hard to read when it's in romaji!

I think I'll have to give this year a miss - but coming in 2008 is loking good!

See you all there!





Edit: HOP hates Kanji :'(

I'm hoping very very much I can sort out a decent income soon and get to Japan again next year, and especially the year after again (hopefully take my 3rd dan ).

I didn't get to see a great deal of the country as I spent most of my time there training with the JKF Goju -Kai, so I hope to spend more time in Tokyo, I'd love to see Okinawa, and I'd love to meet some of you guys

Or you guys could bring me over for this to play with some Hyperlights, don't tell Jon
