could you suggest where I could get together in person or email with someone who can speak and read japanese to help with an audition tape I think it would turn out better and make it to the right people. thank for all your help this far ,P.s. I'm building a cliff hanger and was wondering if you knew the horizontal distance to each finger board I know the verticle distance[thanks to you] and just want to be accurate.

[Konpiramaru]

If I understand your question correctly, each of the 3 boards are 1.2 meters in length and 3 cm in depth. There's 50 cm space between each and you know the vertical distances. Does that help? I almost think that it's better if its all in English - did you see today's Inside Ninja Warrior on G4? There was a US Marine competing and I doubt that he knows Japanese (since he didn't seem to know how much 50 yen was).

yes sir I saw he marine and the measurement you gave me is exactly what I was looking for the first stage sure looks alot tougher doens't it again thanks for the help

If you want someone who can speak and read Japanese, I suggest you hire...YOURSELF!! There's a great new language software I use to help me learn Japanese. I don't know if it works for you (time-wise, what with schedules) but it has for me. I'm not sure...but I think they might have some English translators at TBS. That marine guy (last name started with a K) didn't seem like he knew Japanese or even that much about Japan in general.

myself I'm sure to insult someone lol....but thats a good idea and I agree the marine might not be up on the japanese language

50 Yen is like, around 10 cents or so right? I know that 500,000 Yen is like 100 bucks or something, not really much in US money.

Actually, 50 yen is around 45 cents. I don't know the actual number or conversion rate, but 2,000,000 yen (the prize money given to one who completes all four stages) is on the higher end of 16 thousand dollars.

They get paid for winning?? Wow, i never knew that :'(

[kookoodood]

Apparently they do...still a small sum for being a professional badass. I'd suggest 2 million DOLLARS for being that awesome. Since only 2 have done it and it's harder than ever now, it'd seem like they'd be able to afford it.
