***** Oh so that's why so many Asians have difficulty with the English tongue. Jackie Chan has been working with Americans for years and yet his fluency isn't all that great. I was talking about his pronunciations, Joe's are perfectly spot on. It's because of where he lives, not his parents.

[@saitama4410]

This was the time when Naruto learned Wind Release: Rasengan.

[@MatthewScottRivera]

Shikamaru is the best

[@rainfallen7574]

Shikamaru has always been a fave of mine, but this story arc made him even more of a favourite. I cried when Asuma died and I cried when Shikamaru's father told him to let it out. Half of this arc was me crying honestly. I cried even more than with Gaara & Chiyo. It was agonising to watch him in so much pain for losing someone who was so close to him, someone who was as close as family to him. He was Asuma's treasured pupil who had to see his teacher's death right in front of him. Rest in peace Asuma, your students are doing your name proudly.

This song tells about something that is closest to us. Based on the lyrics, it can be seen that this song conveys that the closer you are to your loved ones, the more difficult it is to see them. In this world there are many things that can happen. You can find people you can really trust, but there are also people who are hypocrites.

[@meekotheotter2801]

you see the comedy in this post comes from how he exquisitely put a twist on the typical "hotel? trivago" by instead using his advanced level of comedy to cange it to make it relevant and instead stated "hotel? Joe Inoue which is humerous as Joe Inoue is the artist responsible for this music sorry had to

@@meekotheotter2801 I imagined you sitting in an armchair with a bourbon and cigar explaining this in a calm voice, slowly twirling the cup as some soft jazz plays in the background. Which is hilarious for an otter to do.

[@nylaninash8522]

+Aa Bb he's half Japanese, half American....

[@Jaegerxx]

+feathersbook 12 He was born in America. So he's American... Sure he can have Japanese roots, but he can't have dual nationality as Japanese citizens are forced to choose a nationality at majority, Joe probably chose to be American, so by definition he is American only...

Just a reminder for those who are not aware. Inoue performs every instrument on his recordings in addition to writing and composing the pieces on his own.

robokiwi yea i thought he's japanese, and after search his name in google and wtf? He's american. I'm totally shocked😯 Sorry for my bad english

[@idk29484]

But maybe he is half japanese and american because the shape of his head is totally different from americans head

[@otex5155]

Flicker that doesn’t make sense I’m sticking to your first comment

[@brynnerico3287]

I mean it should show that he’s half-japanese too, but he’s not according to google. He just learned it by watching anime and reading manga (weeaboo I guess) but the way he speaks is so fluent and his face is so japanese too. At first I thought he was a japanese that live in america, but turns out it’s the same way round

[@otex5155]

Lοrd SushiΨ okay well he was born in America making him American. But his parents are Japanese and thus he learned Japanese growing up most likely. Just how some Americans with Mexican or Latin parents teach them Spanish growing up.
