I agree with Tiggy about the accent. I, personally, slang the hell out of it in English, so's he kinda talks like this'n the words're all drawled t'gether. None of them are culturally equivalent, but you could always think of Kansaiben as either a thick Texan accent (like the black-hat cowboy in a western, say), or with a New York cabbie accent (which is as far from my happy NorCal universe as east Osaka!)
