gibberish...) I've got it on tape, but not the whole sketch. all that i can
remember right now is when Mike Myers was asking 'nana ju, hachi ju hachi'
nana ju means seventeen and hachi ju hachi means eighty eight. the symbols
were real too, they werent just drawings.

actual Japanese words thrown in to make it sound real. But it has
absolutely no meaning whatsoever, except for some things like "Hello"
and "thank you". I don't have it on tape so I can't be more specific,
but I'm a 2nd year Japanese student and I can tell that it's sort of
"mock Japanese". It sounds real to me though!

they write are real kana or kanji characters. It's real Japanese words,
but I don't think the words go together to form sentences or anything.

The *whole show* is just meaningless gibberish.

I actually noted the whole sketch down phonetically and e-mailed my
Japanese friend Ken and tried to get him to translate. He didn't
translate all of it but here's what he said:

It doesn't have any meanings. so I don't understand. But kagemusha
means the mane of Samurai. Doki-doki means beating for heart. (like My
heart is beating.)

It is time that I will give you some quiz from Tokyo. Here is the host
Mr. Toshiro Nakarai.

Hi, good night everybody! It is very hot outside, isn't it?

tondemonai a domoo, (I think it they say.) Don't warry it is not a big
deal.
