That is all.

Well, I can at least tell you the source of the music!
It's by Yoko Kanno and is used in the episode of Cowboy Bebop featuring Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV.
Just the music has me grinning.
I love Japan!

Unfortunately, insofar as translation goes, I haven't worked on Kanji at all yet. If they gave me a Romanji version it would be OK.
I'll have to save it so I can work it out.

Post by: V-Adore on January 26, 2004, 06:51:37 pm: As far as I can tell, the actual writing is gibberish -- this is primarily katakana, but there's some hiragana thrown in, and at times some of the katakana is reversed. If there's any meaning to be found here, I can't find it.

I suspect this is some sort of elaborate joke, especially given that all the options give you the same results.
