Sorry for its been while since i posted the last message.


In Tokyo where I live has been rainy since yesterday which mekes me
stay at home and doing nothing, although its a friday night!!(actually Saturday morning though).

Recently, I have watched some movies.
To introduce the movies I have watched are; Blueberry Nights, Jumper and Enchanted.
I guess these movies were released later tham the US or other English speaking countries, due to the reason that we have to traslate it to japanese.

Also, serial drama comes to japan really late.
Ugly Betty, Heroes and Grey's Anatomy were only recently released in Japan.
this is crazy, its tooooo late!!

If you are in a country where you can watch these great dramas just after they are done,
you guys are ssoooooo lucky!!

In the area of Tokyo, 8 million people are living.

Popular places of Tokyo are; Akihabara, Shibuya, Harajuku and so on.

Recently, Akihabara has been one of the most attractive town to many people from other countries. This is because Akihabara is famous for anime, manga and Japan made elctricities.
Otaku from all over Japan are gathered there to share some infromation regarding to animes.


Shibuya is a place that is popular for teens. It is said that if you would like to know the latest trends, you should go to Shibuya!! There are so many fahion buildings for young girls. The most popular and famous building is called '109'(Young girls call it MARUKYU).　There are about 100 shoops and all shops are targeted for teens. Many celebs including Paris Hilton, Nicki Hilton and Delta Goodrem loved Shibuya's Kawaii Fashion!!


The last place is Harajugu. It is famous for unique japanese subcultural place.

This is the first message I am writing to you..

A reason why I started this blog was firstly I would love to introduce Japan to non-Japanese people.

I guess when you are asked a question 'What do you think of Japan?'
many people will be likely to answer..

'Weird', 'Anime', 'Otaku' (*Otaku= People who are obsessed with interests, particularly anime)

'Tokyo', 'Osaka', 'Kyoto', 'SONY', 'TOYOTA' blah blah blah

There should be a lot of other diffrent thoughts.

They are what I have been told when asked this question!!
