    Not to spoil your fun, but, 'aitsu' is just a less than polite way to say 'he', 'she', or 'that guy'. While not in and of it self rude, the way in which it's said can add a *lot* to the meaning.

    Don't worry about it, we're all here to learn from each other. I still have a ton to learn. That, and I seriously need to work on my fluency.
    Oh, Welcome to the boards!

    B-Berry are you talking about the song? I reamember hearing it while watching the show (I forgot what it was called something Sma). I think the song is only song by one member of SMAP, Shingo. When I first saw him on tv. I didn't know he was a part of SMAP.

    This is late, but thanks a lot for your great explanation!
    I think it's very difficult to explain this problem....

    >Gako e shupatsu.

    This is 'Gakkou e Shuppatsu':) A bit hard to pronouce?

    Ohha is a short version of Ohayou, which means 'Good morning'. This was very popular before, but few people use it now.

    >We all are friends, right?
    RIGHT!

    And for the latest word of the day - Korosu! Korosu is the verb for kill and can be used in several fun sentences. For example:

    Korositai (I want to kill)
    Watasi o Korosite Kudasai (Please kill me)
    Watasi o Korosite Kudasaimasen ka (More polite version of Please kill me)
    Tasukete! Akuma o Korosite! (Help! Kill the Demon!)

    ...and so on.

    P.S. UK if you can't guess who I am after reading this post, I'm going to have to korosu you. :)

    Just for fun, let's break this down to vocab.

    Eiga - movie

    wo - (pronounced 'o') is a particle, used to indicate that the movie is the subject of the verb

    mini - this is the verb 'to see' and another particle attached to it, 'ni' this particle equivocates fairly well to the english 'to'

    iko - usually romanized in some way to indicate an extended vowel at the end, this is the verb 'to go' in a special verb form, the way it is indicates a 'shall we' tone.. so, this means 'shall we go' (an invitation)

    eh... heheheheheh... I got too long winded again... probably no one even wanted to see this... I'll stop now
