Lol, I can't even recognize it as Japanese.

Masaegu, in Italian I can tell what town/region a person comes from from his accent/dialect even though I might not understand what he/she is saying. I can pinpoint the area of origin of that person also by hearing speaking regular Italian coz of the accent.

Does the same thing happen with Japanese language?
I can't pinpoint it but I can usually tell people are form north east(東北) or west(関西) or south (九州) if they have the accents when they speak standard Japanese. If they lived in Tokyo long enough, for several years, they usually have very little accent so it'd be hard to tell.
