Speech ideas

[bolt_krank]

Was thinking about going into one of those Japanese speech competitions, as they seem fun. But f**ked if I can think of anything to talk about.

Anyone got any ideas ? Knows what might go down well ?

Is this the speech contest where the judges are all Japanese teachers? If so, you know the routine, some stirring rhetoric about how learning and speaking Japanese is important for reasons XYZ.

A few topics that you may wish to consider.............

1) "Tips on how not to forget the clitoris, like last time"
2) "Maintaining Japan's image of politeness: Not killing yourself by jumping in front of a train during rush hour."
3) "Rolling a fatty"
4) "Smoking a fatty"
5) "Things to eat at the conbini after doing 3) and 4)"

There's always one guy who gets on stage and makes a speech about his love for some J-chick.

There it is! YBF! Everybody's favorite topic...

Perhaps your wonder and amazement living a land of four seasons, your "ah-ha!" moment when introduced to the concept of mottai nai, or how you've come to embrace whale meat. Oh, and don't forget to carve your initials into the podium.

Pointing out that the Emperor was the biggest winner of use of atomic weapons on Japanese soil might go over well, esp this week.

I've found that Japanese respond well to the 'my life as a Mormon missionary' speech very politely.
