What part of Japan are you from?

Post by kaitoushinichi »

For those of you here who are Japanese, what part or region are you from? And what dialects can you speak?

My dad was from Tokyo and my mom was from Kagoshima! (I pretty much use only the kyoutsuugo, but sometimes there's a little Kansai-ben mixed in there... no idea why...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just a little interesting something about dialects (Watch until the end where they do the actual performance...)

For those of you who don't understand, when Lion King was performed in Japan, they changed the script dialect of Timon and Pumba. This was because originally in Broadway, those two had the Brooklyn accent to express the fact that Simba traveled very far.
