It, in very poor Japanese (or, on second thought, maybe this is Kansai dialect—I just don't speak that dialect very well so I don't know), says something about how it's been a while, a baby was born in August, something about Macchan (Mary? Mark? Matt?) (is this you?) being in Australia, she wrote a mail but no response came, Macchan is working hard at work too, right? Something about wanting to live in Bali again and surf. When in Bali (Indonesia) the writer studied Indonesian and it was really so much fun because of Macchan. Rastaman vibration yeah (what???) Thanks for the mail Something else about the mail i don't understand (とどい?? is this some kind of weird variant of 届く, natives???) Thanks, mail, mail me! Good luck with work![/quote] Now this writing was rife with spelling errors. Leads me to believe it's a non-Japanese who lived in Kyoto or Osaka at one point. Am I correct? Otherwise, I suppose it could be a Japanese person who does not know how to romanize Japanese. Or maybe I just don't understand the quirks of this Kansai dialect.

It is the combination of Kansai-ben and a young Japanese romanizing Japanese when that it something they are not accustomed to doing.
Long time no see. Seiko had her baby. Born in August. Machhan [You] is in Australia, right. I really want to go back again. I want to go surfing. I sent a message to Wide [Weeday] but got no response. Work hard at your job, Macchan. Next time I am in Bali I will study Indonesian. Thanks to you, Macchan, it was a lot of fun [literally: too much fun]. Rastaman vibes, yeah. Thanks for the message. I got your message. Thanks for the message. Write again. Work hard at your job.

Quite normal Kansai Japanese conversation-usage -
06-02-2010, 05:01 AM
The previous person says this is poor Japanese, but this is very natural conversation in Kansai with a little misunderstandings of vowel, and any dialect must not have superior and/or inferior character because it is away from one-own "standard". It was quite insultive, and ignorant comment. Anyway! Here is my best guessing translation!
<translation> Hey! Long time no see! How are you? Seiko (a female friend) gave birth a new baby in August! (or, "Seiko" got a baby in the early-evening if we read "8 gatani" as "eit-gatani=yu-gatani guessing 8 as from its pronouciation "eit" than meaning "hachi". I wonder what 8 means in this writing. Phonetic? or in meaning? ) I heard that Macchan (a male friend) have been in Australia, right!? Gosh, I wish I could go back to Bari-Indonesia again for surfing, which I really wanna do again! "wide" (must be a name of a person probably "Hide"; a guy's name!?) I mailed "wide" though no reply, so "go for it" in your work, Macchan! (My guess is Macchan was supposed to get something fun from "wide" by mail through this writing-person, he/she hasn't got the reply from "wide" yet, so encouraging Macchan to wait a little bit while more and keep up his work for the time being.) Next time when I go to Bari, I study Indonasian a little bit more beforehand. It was such a great fun, and Macchan made it huge for me(us)! Thank you soooooo much, Macchan! I(we) do appreciate for your help! "rastaman vibration yeah": can not guess any Japanese from this writing. Thank you for the mail. I did receive it. I look forward to getting mails again from you. Take it easy, and good luck for your days and works!
