I won't explain the title above. You need to know Japanese. Trust, however, that it's hilarious. randomcarbon: I have this track.... and it's in French
randomcarbon: and ... one line goes, et puis je fume, which means and then I'll smoke.
randomcarbon: which is fine and all, but the fu sound bothers me.

Will: ... it bothers you?

randomcarbon: I don't know if it's because the accent is wrong, or if my own French accent has been Japanized, but in the track it sounds fyume, whereas I prefer a more pure fu sound.

Will: That would be because your accent has become Japanized, I think.

randomcarbon: Perhaps. I'll ask around.

Comments from my French speaking friends are appreciated.
