I can't understand it either, but you're right that generally you don't need to. Occasionally you get words... The other day I got 'Moshii Moshii' and 'Konnichiwa' then they sometimes use English words like 'Rice Choco', 'Apron', and my kids' favourite: 'Magic Stick'.
Thanks to James, I was able to pick up 'dango'.
On the weekend they have all 5 of the past week's episodes available for viewing, so you'll be able to see the whole week at a go.

I too am loving the scenes from Tokyo and the little bit of Japanese culture the series is giving us!
For understanding what they're saying, I'm actually picking up a word here and there.... In one of the eps the narrator did say "Tokyo", so it was nice to find out that it really was Tokyo we were seeing! In the last episode (Friday's), at the end of it, where Pierre Katse is standing on the black hole, he says "san, ni, ichi", which is "three, two, one" in Japanese. I was that he was counting down to when he would fall through the black hole!
Unfortunately, except for the occasional "yosh", "arigatou", and "k'onnichiwa" that's about all I understand......
Oh, and has anyone watched the expressions on the passers-by faces?? They're so funny!! The best ones were from the "salon" ep, when Katse runs out of the shop! If you didn't watch the people outside the shop, go back and watch that part. Some of their reactions are just too funny!
Yes, and thank you James for keeping us informed of the episode postings!!
