Well, first of all, we’re happy to announce that the J-List site is happily transferred to its new server, in what was a relatively painless DNS transfer. Mail sent to the jlist.com mail addresses only bounced for a few hours, and now the site is working quite well.
Unfortunately the “new” secure order form we posted over the weekend perfectly secure — but it failed to send orders to us as it was supposed to. Therefore, if you tried to submit an order over the weekend but didn’t get a reply from us, by all means, please email us about it and we’ll make sure your order is taken care of right away.
The new site is not, of course, the “new and improved J-List” we’ve been promising you. We’re still a little ways away from going live with the site, however we will get the new J-List site, which features full product search and many other very nice features, ready for you very soon. Personally, I can’t wait!
The Japanese are great fans of American movies, so much so that Disney is taking great pains to avoid offending movie-goers when Pearl Harbor opens next month. It’s always interesting to see how they translate the names of Japanese movies. Sometimes, they are translated more or less as-is — Star Wars Episode One was just called “Phantom Menace,” although these words mean nothing to Japanese fans. Often, titles are truncated grammatically, to make them easier to remember, e.g. You Got Mail. Other times, they just make up a new title they think will sell the movie. Somewhere in Seattle was called “Meguriaetara…” here, which means “When they finally met,” and An Officer and a Gentleman became “Ai to seishun no tabidachi” (A journey of love and youth). Close Encounters of the Third Kind became “Encounter with the Unknown.” And someone in Lucasfilm’s organization must have screwed up, because Return of the Jedi in Japanese is “Jedi no Fukushu,” which is Revenge of the Jedi, the film’s original title.
Yasu has had an interesting adventure. AV actress Ichigo Milk (Strawberry Milk) came to Gunma Prefecture to sign autographs and shake hands with fans, and he was there with his camera to record it all. Ichigo Milk is a charming AV idol with copper-bronze hair and a sweet, slender body. He got her autograph on behalf of all J-List fans — see the pictures at http://www.peterpayne.net/Merchant3/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PP&Product_Code=ICHIGO&Category_Code=PC
