Chriselle 158 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 That Yank Canuck game was fast. Damn, I hate hockey but that was a great match. Ya know....I understand why so many people both in Japan and in other non hockey nations don't "get" hockey. It's really simple........the announcing. I tuned in to a BBC link to one of the quarter final games and it was so bad.....almost as bad as the Japanese joke announcing. You really have to listen to a CBC or TSN sports announcer otherwise its just hack amateurs saying ohhh, ahhhh,, wow,,,,!! For example ... It's not a match....it's a game..

frannyo 2 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I find it amusing the way Japanese media seem to be telling Japanese people that the whole world was encapured and overawed by Asada Mao. Hmmm, no. Most people haven't heard a word and I'm sure those who have simply don't give a shit. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I'll be tuning in to firstrow sports just for the announcing....I'll take the hit in quality of watching it on the computer rather than listen to the crap NHK commentators. Link to post Share on other sites

@tokyo 14 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Don't know. But she did cry after not winning a medal which was very heartwarming. Or so I heard. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Mao is in 3 of the top 4 'stories' on yomiuri right now. Can you actually believe that? It's all beyond ridiculous isn't it. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I enjoyed watching the cross things and some of the moguls - always remember myself when confronted with just one or two of those things. Link to post Share on other sites
