I use to live in Beppu. Went to APU the international Unviersity there. I think I liked being a resident there. It was nice, and its cool to see how famous such a nice place is and its very small, and I of course don’t consider beppu to be apart of japan. Since there are so many English speakers there. Even at the restuarants. I noticed a lot of foreign tourist who are there tend to not really check out the APU campus. It is something I think they are missing out on. The spectacular view of the city that is.

Hey Tres!!
How are things? where are you now? I don’t have your email address man. I hope you are well wherever you are…Are you missing Beppoooo? We are planning a trip back there in the Spring next year, can’t wait! Miss Japan, even though Edinburgh is nice.

I too worked with both Joel and Murdo in Beppooo.
Onsen Massa Joel, it’s great to see your work on TV again! I hope you are getting kickbacks from Kannawa En from the amount of publicity you give them, haha.

Hi, that was so great to see Joel in action. I used to work with him right there in Beppu and he truly is an Onsen master!

Joel:

All the scenes in which you appear are in this update. If you want an unedited mpeg of the entire Beppu section of the show, I can send it to you. Unfortunately, no mud bath scene was aired!

James,
I just showed up hoping you might have clips because the show doesn’t air in Oita for another 2 weeks! Sasuga! Cheers for uploading everything.
By the way, the baby at the end with the mayor is my 2nd boy. The older boy didn’t make an appearance this time around.

I know what everyone says about Yukorin and I generally agree, but seeing her off camera you know it’s all a made-up character.

Charles,
if you would like I’ll have the director contact you next time they need someone to do some minstel work.

thanks again James!

Joel

PS Did they cut the mud bath scenes? Those were the funniest

Joel speaks Japanese perfectly.
I wanted to see his kid on TV. I saw him on his blog, he looks cute.
Keep up the good work at Beppu, Joel.

Yukorin intentionally talks like a retarded 4 year old because it is “cute”. Sometimes it sounds cute, but most of the time it sounds horribly artificially, for example when she asks Joel to guide them.

I too find Yukorin’s voice very annoying. I usually pass by this site and never made any comments but I think Charles comment is a bit harsh. We are all entitled to our personal opinion. Anyhow, nice blog by the way.

You think Yukorin’s voice is irritating. I don’t. At least she’s cute, I would have enjoyed seeing her half-naked in the onsen.

I think Joel’s foreign accent is irritating, but his enormous, pasty white belly is horrifying. I need some eye bleach.
