waaa I badly need this

[sweetscrazy]

i tried applying for this last march and they sent me an email pero it was in Japanese and i couldn't understand, so i put it in one of my mailboxes for me to translate later with my beloved jisho but i think i accidentally put it in the trash instead. huhuhu

@ sweetscrazy-san - Are you sure it's in full Japanese? They send me bilingual emails. Japanese first, then English below.

[sweetscrazy]

they sent me bilingual pero i wasn't able to scroll down to the bottom to find the english version kasi i have those really tiny laptops with 8" screens =P
anyway, how much do they pay ba? are u a program monitor for the next batch?

[fujiringo]

I've been a monitor with them for two years already and eventually became a news-gathering contributor or more like a news stringer.
I won't tell the exact figures here, hehe. Sorry.

[sweetscrazy]

well can you tell them that their new Tokyo Eye host "leaves much to be desired"? The previous one was better haha =P

[fujiringo]

Haha, well yeah of course. Thank you for your concern. Yup, Chris Peppler is much better...

[ookami]

hi there. the last message is this thread is quite dated but are they still in need of program monitors? i regularly watch Nodo Jiman (and sometimes some documentaries). i can generally understand japanese (2kyuu) and it doesnt hurt to be paid watching programs :))



thanks!
