Getting down

nori nori

Do you want to know what is the single sexiest thing about somebody you meet at a club—the essential element that sets them apart from every other piece of tail on the dance floor? The fact that they are having a good time. You wanna be sexy? Then have a good time, dammit—right now! Then tell everybody about it, using the following phrases:

< TONIGHT I
…
. . .kon’ya wa

. . .am in the mood to party!
. . .nori nori daze

. . .am getting my groove on.
. . .nori ni notteru

. . .am ready for anything.
. . .yaru ki manman

. . .am having a great time!
. . .moriagatteru

. . .will take this party higher!
. . .tenshon o dondon ageru zo

. . .will stay up all night.

Taking it easy

mattari

Not every night can be a party night. That’s why they have Blockbuster nights. Actually, in Japan they would be called “Tsutaya nights”—if they weren’t already called mattari. So go get a romantic comedy and a bucket of green tea ice cream, wiggle under the kotatsu, and have yourself a good mattari.
