Looking at this campaign, I keep thinking “don’t hate us because we’re beautiful!” ^^
Very cute idea, but seemingly most redundant in a place where apologising is on a par with breathing. This is something I miss about Britain, and something I still do in the US that annoys Americans. I can’t help it, even if it’s not my fault! ごめんなさい!!

LOL, you are excused . Maybe we should have a “comment on the blog day” with some cute girls and guys as well. I should check whether there is a neko day. There might just be one in the book?

So, the garusu there are for consolation?
I’m feeling very sorry now…

Funny post.
While translating subs for a site I had a hard time writing “sorry, excuse me, my fault, my bad etc…” to render the meaning of sumimasen.

I think for the rest of the world the self reflection is done at newyear
But this is interesting !

I may not live in Japan but I’m there a few times a year; and you really get in the hang of saying “Sumimasen” more times than you’d imagine you would Carrying a large crumpler fotobag around I sometimes bump into people by accident and even *THEY* who are not to blame apologise (for being there at that spot and in that time) it’s kinda odd at first but the mutual respect thing goes a long way.

Japanese can be tricky to learn tough; even tough you know for example what “sumimasen” means, especially in Tokyo, the Japanese people adopt *Alot* of shorter words to say things like “Sumi-ma” or “Masen” that i’ve heard.

Another reason I want to live in Japan instead of the USA. Hopefully Japan stays the way they are and not turn in a usa.

RT @Shibuya246: Sorry Day, Gomenne, Japan Culture | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/BHLz There’s quite a selection of moe girls to choose from at the website. Japan sure has a long list of non-national holidays to choose from, how funny some of them are. Being a hamburger and pocky fan I woould enjoy them.
But all in all we need to start an app. for a Conbini Day and a RilaKkuma Day would be even greater! If you were to fill out an application and neede some one to second it, E-mail it to me I’ll sign it and email it back.
