This will be a real quick post because I'm lazy, although I do have an extra hour to sleep now. First, my LSAT score has come in, and I want to brag. I scored a 170 (out of 180 possible), which translated to the 98th percentile. To tell the truth, I was looking for the 99th, but I won't complain about this.

Second, for those who simultaneously watch 24 and understand Japanese, you must watch this. It may be mildly amusing if you don't understand Japanese, but it's definitely much better if you do.

Ha ha, I actually saw that on its regular broadcast time last year. It was my wife-to-be's first exposure to 24. The skit show that it's from is pretty hit and miss, but when it hits, it's good.

I've never seen that show, what is it? I may be able to download it. Oh, and:

I really wish I could tell you what the show was called, but I never really paid attention to the title, but I could recognize the intro song if I heard it. It was on TV just after I would get home from work, and I guess considered ??? and not variety. They had guests from time to time, but it was mostly just skits. I don't know if there is some sort of resource that you can pick through Japanese television show titles, but that recent move by a Japanese media rights group to have removed 30,000 clips from youtube was a kick in the head for me.

Ah well, such is life. I can't watch stuff on youtube anyway, the quality is just painful.

It's from the show ????R&R (which means One Night Rock & Roll) and it really is a hit or miss show. On Wednesdays at 10pm.

I'm going to have to see if any of my sources have this to download. Not that I really need more to download, I have a huge backlog already.

What are your "sources" and how do I become associated? I'm not exposed to nearly enough Japanese here in Korea.

When I was in Korea I survived completely on my Japanese. It probably helped that my korean friend spoke Japanese and no English, but even when she wasn't around everyone seemed to speak more Japanese than English.

Also, if your sources don't pan out, I can record it. Just need a place to upload it to.

I kept forgetting to check this at home, since I don't have any of my links at work, but I check just a few sources, which you may or may not have already seen:

http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/torrents.php
http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_beta/?page=browse
http://bt.saiyaman.info/
http://tokyotosho.com/

They are roughly in order of how often I check them and how good I consider them. The top one is good for most of my shows, and has tons of raws, which I love. The second requires you to register, and it's a ratio server, but for random shows and music it's decent - it helps fill any gaps. The third is mostly for anime, so I don't use it much, but since I know you love it, it's where I can usually find SMAPxSMAP episodes. The last one is really an aggregator, so I only check it on the off chance it has something I haven't already seen on the other three sites, but it can turn up something every so often.

Oh, and I'm addicted to Ainori. I know, shameful.

Thanks! I'll have to grab a couple of episodes of SMAPxSMAP.

And, Ainori is great! That damn pink van. Although it's been months and months since I last saw it, and probably everyone has changed since then and I wouldn't know what the hell is going on.

As a note, I have pretty much every episode of Ainori going back to July 2005.
