Minnasan konnichiwa !! :) I've notice during the start of 1.4 mp3, Sayaka san was saying "mata aishi mata ne" (sorry if it's not the correct spelling). Does that mean "Great to see you again/Nice to see you again" ?? (i'm just guessing here :? ) Arigato.

Hello sylvian14, I heard it as ' mata aimashita ne'. My guess (yes, me too, lol) is 'We meet again' or 'we are together again'. Regards, Peake

Konnichiwa! *Mata aimashita ne * translates as: *Mata* - "Again" *Aimashita* - "We meet" *Ne* - _Particle that comes at the end of a sentence and seeks agreement or confirmation from listener. _ So, you are right, it means "We meet again!" :D
