Oh i know
The text refers to a well known movement.
The author wants you to be a part of the "flowerpower".
Sounds strange. Wink

Reply from a native Japanese speaker
Hello,

I don't know where you got the text. Do you have a Japanese friend Shigeru? It is a rather common first male name in Japan. In the text, I did not understand "sakkajo", but it seems to me "a soccor field".
We use the English word soccor in the Japanese pronunciation.
Just read as the spell goes: sakkaa. Next, "jo" means a field.

Ohter than these, the definitions listed are pretty accurate.
Basically, Shigeru wrote a lousy statement even a native Japanese speaker do not understand. That's it.

Hi,

>>Moshi moshi mina-san,
Hello everyone,

>>sore tango sakkájo desu.
That is "TANGO" soccor field.
(I'm not sure what TANGO is. My guess is a name of a city. Tango could also be "vocabulary" in different contexts.)

>>ja mata
see ya / talk to you later / bye

>>Shigeru
a male first name


Hope this helps.
