Those breif-case looking school bags that

those school kids are always carrying are called "randoseru" <<writen in
katakana>>.

Hmmm, now that's odd..why would it be written in Katakana?

I have no Idea.  Keep in mind, though, that Katakana is used to write
words of foriegn origan but those words aren't nessaccerly English.

        True, also I've been told Katakana is sometimes used for extra
emphasis like writing in all caps.  I've found such instances to be rare
though.
