So....Everybody else has one of these, so I'm making one too...
Welcome to my blog!!
I'm just another person who has fallen in love with Japan!
Though I must say this blog is more about its pop culture than the traditional culture...
Unless you want to hear about my onigiri, sushi, and other Japanese food endeavours...
My favorite Japanese bands: 嵐(Arashi), NewS, and Lead.
I write about these most often.
The translations I do are mostly on my LJ, so please go look! I use my vox mostly for fangirling.
So, if you're into that kinda stuff, I say: ようこそ!! (welcome)
If not, go away, I don't want you here stick around, it can still be interesting....
**I'm glad so many people want to make friends with me, but I would appreciate it if you would leave me a comment or send a note when you friend me. And beware that I probably won't add you back if we've never talked. We don't have to be great friends, but at least one comment/note would be nice, something more than "Hi" or "Thank-you". And I don't add blank journals. You can at least make one entry saying all your entries are private or whatever**
Now, let's have some fun!! 宜しくお願いします！ *bows*
First I'd like to apologize to anyone who kept up with me and got bored because I haven't updated in forever. First of all, I've been doing a lot of fanfics and graphics @ LJ, so you should go check it out! Secondly, I joined Twitter so that I could join the tweeting about #tsuribaka for Riida's birthday. I've been flailing a lot on there since, so if you would like to, please go follow me there! I think people add me, thinking I'm going to keep talking about a certain subject (yoga, cooking, etc.) and unfriend me when they realize 95% of my posts are about some Japanese boy band they don't know. So, if you like Arashi, and you wanna friend me, feel free to do so!! My username is ayamechan3760, btw!
Bye-chau!
So I made a wallie to celebrate Arashi's 10th anniversary^^ I know it's late, but we can still celebrate, right??
Here are my Riida and Jun pix!!!
While the staff was trying to sleeping on the Shinkansen (bullet train)
The person sitting next to them
was eating some crunchy snacks
That worried me, so I didn't sleep
In the first place, I can sleep anywhere
and yet, because the staff was trying to sleep
The sound of crunching
seems to be something that staff hates
If he hears a commerical
「Sounds good
」I think at that part
「Don't make that sound while your eating
」
I wanted to say since I was upset
「What are you eating
」I tried asking
「Jagariko」he said
(a kind of potato sticks with flavors on them)
When I heard that
I became his ally
Because when you bite 「Jagariko
」 with your teeth
「JagarikoJagariko」
and that's what kind of sound it's supposed to make, right
Everyone eats it this way, right
Honestly
When I eat them
I'm the kind that makes them crunch
With this, I stopped being upset at him
because his gums started hurting
It was like in the commericial, but
It wasn't the correct answer
So, he tried asking
「Well, how do you eat them
」
「Jagariko
Jagariko」 I said and ate them。
I was the winner
We did it together, so I'll be patient
In that vein, snacks that we often eat
became the topic
I often buy things at a cheep sweets shop
I like 「Corn potash snack
」and「Cabbage Taro
」
Some times there are foods with a strong taste
「I've got it
」I say
since I have memories of being happy
Also the stick kind of 「Karamuucho
」
(very spicy BBQ flavored chips)「Osatsudoi(sweet potato chips)
」and「Sayaendo (green bean flavored snacks)
」I like to eat these
But at that time
I couldn't remember
the 「Sayaendo
」commericial song
I tried to sing it, but
my memory is bad
I couldn't remember at all
I'm bad at that song
Are there people who know it here
Also we talked about 「Sappo Potato
」
(BBQ flavored potato sticks)「Oh, that mesh-like thing
」
I said
But the staff said「No, it's long and thin
」
And an "it's this way" "it's that way" battle began
Even though I thought I would lose
「What do you wanna bet
」I said
My opponent couldn't do anything
Well, we searched on the internet・・・
People already know what's gonna happen
It was a draw
The thing I said that was like mesh
was 「BBQ flavor
」and the staff's long and thing thing
was「Granulated Vegetable
」
Of course it's like that
Both are Sappo Potato
Lately, I haven't really eaten snacks
So I got careless and forgot
Anyway 「BBQ flavor
」 has a rope type image
for me, which is why I said mesh
I won't forget anymore
There were lots of comments on my blog yesterday
Thank you very much
The result is that there are more rice eaters
I thought there would be more for bread
Well, everyone has their own ideas
Whatever you like is number one
I thought it would be that kind of win
I'm changing the topic
The other day, out of nowhere my father
Called me
It was out of the ordinary
I wondered what he could want as I answered the phone
『What are you doing next Tuesday
』
Since he said this
『What am I doing
I don't know yet
』
I said
And out of the blue
『If you're free, let's go to Sendai
』
My father said
Yesterday, with my family
I went to Sendai
I was surprised because it was so sudden
My dad's plan was
To eat
『Sendai's famous cow tounge
』
Got together and left for a long trip
We left the house at 5:30am
We went to Sendai by car, but
Since I was sleeping after only ten minutes
Dad was kind of upset
I fell into a dead sleep in the car
When I next opened my eys
We were already in Sendai
We went to a fish market first
And bought
Crabs, clams, and tuna
As I was saying, at the fish market
Honestly
since I was in a trance
I didn't get to participate
I wanted to eat there
And I became impatient
Next we went to the place we had come here for
A cow tongue store
When I go to Sendai, I have to eat cow tongue
And this time it was as delicious as ever
My family was satisfied with the food
My mom really doesn't eat meat
So she got fish
That's fine
Since mom doesn't really eat meat
Eh
even though that was the whole point of coming here 
But her food looked good too
After that, we went to Matsushima Harbor
And got on a ferry
In Matsushima Harbor we could see lots of little islands
and had fun looking at them
Halfway through, everyone but dad was furiously feeding them
When the food was gone, we went back to the ship
Had everyone but dad gotten off
But then we found him
『I was keeping seats on the boat for us
』he had told us
He pretended not to notice us and said,『OH
』 when we were going backI understood then
Now dad can feel all the winds from the ocean under the sun
It seems
He's the only one in the sunset
He didn't have any patterns on his shirt
Is what I meant
Everyone got back on the boat and talked quickly
We also laughed
And we guessed it
Dad shyly came back to the boat
I was interrupting his personal time
My bad
Sorry dad
We got off the boat and went to an outlet mall
And then went home
Up until now, I haven't been able to properly enjoy Sendai
And since my family got together after a while
I made some nice memories
When my family goes somewhere next time
I hope they take me
Translators note: Sendai is 5 hours by car from Tokyo *__*
About the fall appetite
Has everyone tasted fall food
lately?
I’ve been feeling my appetite for fall 
HonestlyI eat a lot 
But aside from shooting for「Moraeru TV
」
I don’t eat fall type foods
I wonder why has it become fall
And I suddenly want to eat fall foods
In summer, it’s hot and I get worn out
And I don’t want to eat
I don’t think it matters in spring and winter
Because it’s called fall harvest
Looking toward the fall season
There are lots of foods
My eating onigri and ramen
Isn't really relatd
Well, that's fine
Just a bit ago I was walking to dinner
And there was a stand selling rice with squid in it.
The smell was real
I was hungry
So it was like a knock out
It looked really good
The friends I was with
Their eyes were like heart marks
「I want to eat it
」since they said this
I took my wallet out
And paid for it all
Since I gave them that
「Le's drink beer
」
I told them not to say this
"Let's go for a massage
"
We also talked about that
「Let's sit down at the store and eat
」 I said
And it worked
Then, near the store,
They were selling baked sweet potatoes
Of all fall related food
This is honestly my favorite
This time, my eyes were like heart marks
I took out my wallet again
And paid for it all
Even though I bought the potatoes
The other stuff is a lie
My friends bought the rice with squid in it
And of course they bought beer
And we never went for a massage・・・
Anyway, I thought we'd go out and have dinner
I got through without buying anything
I ate the special of the day
Does everyone think it's okay to have bread for dinner
About that, I'm a rice fan but
My friends are bread fans
Toast for dinner is 100% okay for them
And instead of rice, bread makes them happy
Since I never thought about that
I was extremely surprised
「Why」 I asked in objection
I wonder what people like better
I'll take the statistics from everyone's comments
And make an official argument
Please take your homework home tonight
Please fill out the form
By the way, on the way out of the store
Where we bought the potatoes・・・
We heard the unexpected clattering of the the store closing
My dear potatoes
I don't know when I can meet you next
But I'll definitely buy you 
I uploaded a picture called "Hiroki with baked sweet potatoes"
Since I'm at home today
I snapped the picture on the couch
Heheh...I seriously shoulda started with Jun first so Aiba could be my best... Oh well, it'll be my tribute to him to be the best since I was Jun-baited.
So Nino...I was going to paint his background with all the
colors of the rainbow since his solo is RAINBOW, but my hands hurt so much, I
didn't have it in me to do so. So I hope you like the bg ^^" And I forgot his
glasses first time around, and what's Niji without his glasses??
Click to make it bigger!!
What a day in history!!! They've come through so much to get here. Let's celebrate with them^^
１0周年おめでとうございます！！
これからも頑張ってください。
From here out, good luck!!
He was done yesterday, I just forgot to post him up here^^>
I seriously should have started backwards on my favorites. I suddenly
remembered some tips and tricks to make my dear little drawings a tiny
bit better. I also forgot a few things on dear Ai-chan. Ah well,
that's life. And my challenge.
Anyway, next is newscaster Sho-chan. Enjoy!
