otsukaresama?
hmm... that means like "thank you for your hard work" or something.... it's one of those japanese expressions that's really hard to translate. for example, when you leave work, you're supposed to say "osakini shitsurei shimasu" which means "i'm sorry i'm leaving first" and then the people remaining in the staffroom go "otsukarasamadeshita" (you worked hard).
i've heard fans saying that to each other when i saw an Avenged Sevenfold concert in Osaka last fall, but i just thougth it was really weird to have one of the band members say that to me! lol!
