I don't want to talk to you.
Anata ni hanashitakunai.
あなたに話したくない。
Do I know you?
Dokoka de o-aishimashita ka?
どこかでお会いしましたか?
The second one is in polite form, since I wasn't quite sure what tone you were using.

Do you know what are the kanji for Bon Odori, Taiko and Yosakoi Soran? (I think i've only seen 'soran' written in katakana. Does it have a kanji?)

Oh gosh! 10-nin Matsuri sings the phrase "bo-n o-do-ri" in this song I adore.

So I can hear them saying it in my head.
Bon Odori: 盆踊り
Taiko: 太鼓
Yosakoi Soran... よさこいソーラン・・・ I don't know of kanji for either word. I'm actually not sure what 'souran' refers to, because there are several different kanji for 'souran'. So... it might have kanji.

Thanks! =DD
I like to dance Bon Odori.. ^^ I dance it every year on a party called "Hana to Ichigo Matsuri"..
And I've been learning taiko for about 6 months so far.. it's so cool! ^^
And we're going to present a Yosakoi Soran dance in about one month.

I started learning the language many years ago... I answered your other post, but again, I do recommend picking up a book to start off with - something comprehensive that you can sit down and study at your own pace until you're grounded in the grammar. (Unfortunetly, the Japanese sites I have linked are not for beginners, so I should really start looking for some so I can pass them onto others.)

I think it's chinese or korean.. but all I know is that it isn't japanese.
