At least she yelled at the producer when he said he's not putting her in the film. Good to see she's still in form.

Hey she's on tv now. The picture above flatters her.

Hey stop living in the past. What's done is done.
She does indeed look different. Like a different person altogether.

This screenwriter is so tall he can't even help looking down on the promotions that made this film possible. Damn you're cool Drew.

30 seconds works for me. Or the ad breaks on tv are just about right.

This is my big chance to be on TV. I'll just tell her whatever she wants to hear, and then sit next to her when the results are announced (^-^)v

jerseyboy, I just emailed her but I haven't heard back from her yet. It's time to play the waiting game.
Ah the waiting game sucks. Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos.

You're right rjd_jr, she is a tad on the chubby side. And most of her gear looks like it came from the 100 yen store. Just the way I like it.

This "talent", 22, has no relationship to the film whatsoever, but this pic is much better than those fully clothed JAL girls. Nice work JT. You know what your readership wants. Ooh baby.

God what did you put the HIS ad back for? Money? What an eyesore.
Visitors to Japan? Please, most of us are already trapped here.

Sarge, I reckon the chances of me enjoying some BOSS coffee with Yuukorin after going to a Thai restaurant are far, far less than JT changing the color of links. Unfortunately (>.<)

"So what we’re really talking about is AMPLIFIED instruments. This is why translators have to have a good intuitive sense and not be dictionary-bound." Nice of you to drop in and edit some English, Nessie.
My spidey sense was tingling with images of people singing while others played the guitar. Thank god this guy's bagpipes are not powered, I mean, amplified.

I'm inclined to agree with Bogi. But perhaps the spirit of the prohibition means don't bother everyone else within earshot, and he might find himself being ushered out of the park, with any luck.

Bogi may be right. I'm not sure. I'll leave it to the professionals.
romulus, I could always do the punch-and-run, or even the punch-by where I wouldn't stop running in the first place.

green tea, I don't - allay your concerns! Also note I said acoustic instruments may be a better choice. I wasn't sure.
What I am sure of is he is a cheapskate who thinks it's fine to do this outside where he can enjoy the nature, and too bad for anyone else within earshot who may not appreciate it. Given the particularly offensive nature of the bagpipes, I reckon he'd be shut down pretty quickly, or punched in the face.

sarcasm, my dictionaries came up with acoustic all over the place but those google images and the definition you gave there look a bit broader. I'd apologise but let's not get too excited.
So at any rate the sign prohibits what he's doing unless he has permission. Do you think he has it? We could speculate until the cows come home. More likely than not however, he's a cheapskate who has few qualms in disrupting the peace with his amateur antics.

This cheapskate should just put up the bill for a soundproof room like most others. Especially this cheapskate. The sound of bagpipes is the most offensive sound in the world. And this guy doesn't even have the balls to wear a skirt while playing.
I'm trying to work out if this guy is Japanese or not. Being able to read the sign often makes little difference. I've seen Japanese parking in places or taking pictures in places where it's clearly prohibited. And if he is a foreigner, he may be able to read it but this could be another convenient time to pretend he doesn't. Or, more likely, he's been in Japan for a number of years now but lives in an English bubble.
Kemiko, acoustic instruments might be a better choice for 音響機器.

At the moment the bright blue links turn to a darker blue when the mouse pointer is over it - any chance of swapping that round, so it lightens up when you're over it as opposed to darkening? The darker color is less of an assault on the senses. C'mon.
