Interesting...the best part were the translations though.
"He brings you a Japanese tea on with a tray. It shows the hospitality."
"This is a one of the seafood"
"Japanese ghost doesn't have legs"
"for make an accent when you write a mail!?"

\(^o^)/ Wai, cool site! I use these smileys so much that I tend to forget that many people don't know what they mean... ^^; -__-;
Are there really people who don't know at least some of them, because IMHO there used as much as the 'western' ones...
Those are way better than the smileys we have here.
not very bad 
there are more emotions
there are more emotions
They are definitely cuter than american smileys but they are hard to remember. Many girls like to use them.......they like cute thingy...
