Yeah, linguists have a word constructions like that (e.g.,「なになに is not eigo yo!」). They call it code switching. Well, maybe it's technically only called code switching when bilingual people do it. Certain about that でない. But 楽しい　either way ですね.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. You're right. I didn't really “translate” it either, to
be honest, though – 伊予弁 isn't the same as 今治弁 anyway! They overlap a lot,
but still. I think I like the phrase 「なになに is not eigo yo!」For example,
“Eigo” and “yo” are not eigo yo! Great comment. Thanks Kanako. I'll be in
Matsuyama this Friday, by the way.

I didn't know there're so many yakitori-yas in Imabari, which caught my interest and Barii, the character did catch my heart, too!

The most interesting thing on the video is that you translated “iyo-ben” into “Imabari city-ben”! “Ben” is not eigo yo!^^

Love your blog always,

Hey Ben - thanks for the comment. At the end of the 2 videos that use music, I've got a frame crediting the artist and showing the album cover. The artist is Serphonic, and the album is Inspiration. The track you're asking about is called 5am. It's a Creative Commons Licensed work, so you can download it for free! (I got it from http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/24712 .) Hope that helps!

Interesting video!

I was wondering, what's the background music that's on right at the start where there's the time-lapse showing the bridge?
