Depending on if you got the language pack installed or not can determine if they are screwed up or not. Best thing you can PROBABLY do is run it through google translate and see what it says. I could tell you what (non - kanji) are in romanji but would probably be useless for telling you what whatever you want translated means. But I am sure someone on here knows Japanese and can help

Don't bother with Google translate. Please. It may work great for some European languages, but it can't handle Japanese (especially if it's colloquial). Really, machine translation is the bane of real translators like myself. Especially when a client insists that the machine translation is correct U___U

Interesting, there's one Chinese loancharacter there along with the Japanese, which in Chinese is a relatively recent one. It's got the component ren as in person and another component 可 ke as in can or something else. Is it common for that kind of mixture of alphabets to happen in Japanese?

Same goes for Chinese, it's nice in that it makes it somewhat more efficient to look up individual characters, but I haven't observed it to do a good job handling the grammar. Chinese tends to allow a lot of information to be dropped if it hasn't changed. If I"m not mistaken, Japanese is similar in that regard.

The Japanese didn't have a writing a system until the Chinese writing system was introduced to then via monks, IIRC (I'm a little rusty on my ancient Japanese history). Originally, they only wrote in kanji (the characters "borrowed" from China). But later they developed the hiragana and katakana scripts from certain kanji and these scripts were supposedly initially used by aristocratic women. But long story short, modern Japanese kanji share resemblance and sometimes meaning with Chinese ones (hanzi is it?). The one I've used is "KA/nan, nani" and basically means "what/how".

Know a bit of Nihonggo and speak much better English. You can screen cap if you want.

It is fun to learn Japanese language from Miss Hannah Minx. This video doesn't do any language teaching but it'll give you the general idea of what a great teacher she is. The funny thing is though, I can't seem to recall anything she's taught me so far but she herself is unforgettable.

Oh it's ... her. I've ran across her videos a few times on youtube, when my unconsciousness made me click on boobs video (I'm a dream of male-centered marketing.) After watching her for a few minutes, I always come to slow realization that I can't stand looking at her face and listening to that annoying voice. Then again, it does take me some time to begin looking at her face.

(to the OP: you may make a picture with japanese characters and upload it here. You may also use google translator, but that may not be the best tool to translate :P)

This is double sad...

The only reason why her channel is popular at all are her boobs. So she is objectifying herself on purpose. BUT, it's very sad that gazillions of males are watching this channel ONLY because of boobs.

World is sad :-(
