Heya everyone, It’s been a remarkably short 7 months.  I can’t believe my work term is over already :O.  It’s time to get ready to head back to Toronto.  I guess it’s good timing as my blog has been winding down quite a bit too in terms of views.  Hopefully, I’ve accomplished something significant during that [...]

I went to meet up with a friend the other day in the hopes of easing his culture shock.  It was a complete disaster as I was late and he got on the wrong train and we failed at meeting up. However, we did manage to see one thing together, the Gundam.  There’s been like 10 [...]

I just got back from the first day of Comiket 76, and I’m absolutely exhausted.   I’ll write a few things about that later, but for now just a short update and time for some much needed rest. Today’s dinner was a rather interestingly made yakisoba.  I had this at the Odaiba Aquamall food court.  Yakisoba is [...]

As the title says, I’m heading to Tokyo for a few days to meet up with Yukito and Rin from koiaichaku.com. Hopefully I’ll be able to post while I’m there. In the mean time, I’m getting ready for massive delays because the earthquake in Shizuoka destroyed a number of highways and caused landslides in areas [...]

Heya everyone, In an effort to post more often, I’m going to make a post about what I did today .  I attended a live concert starring May’n (メイン��� or May Nakabayashi at Zepp Nagoya.  I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned having tickets for this concert on my blog, mainly because I forgot I had [...]

To my friends who want more Japan stuff, I haven’t posted anything anime related recently, so let me post one!!!! In any case, one of my recommends and subsequent favorites for the Summer 2009 anime season is Bakemongatari.  In particular, I was entranced by the ending.  Composed by esteemed vocaloid composer, Ryo/Supercell, and sung by Nico [...]
