2)Thats so interesting and Im so happy for you! I have so many questions but my messages are long enough. I happy that I got the chance to talk to you. I only like a few female artists but I do like YUI and some others but my main focus are male vocalist and groups. Daichi Miura I love right now. My favorite KATTUN songs are You, Lips and Signal. They all hold a special place in my heart and make me excited whenever I hear them.( Im not a fan of their newer music though :P) I think theres a few songs by Otsuka Ai I like but Ive never heard luna sea's music. And yes Geun Seok and another popular female actress is in that but I heard it was nowhere as good as the original. I would love to recommend you Jpop music if you like? (Im also very knowledgeable in Kpop xD) And what is Francophilia and I had no clue they had umbrella dryers! xD (Maybe we should email instead if you'd like? xD)

1)That amazing! I wasn't there long enough to experience all of that but I hope to be soon. I understand what you mean about your love for the culture. Its hard to put into words and its hard to explain to people who don't understand and find us odd for loving another culture to the point that we do. Its more then just an obsession its a love and respect we feel for the culture that goes beyond anime, Jpop or idols. Sorry, ranting here...but anyway, yes soft bank promotions are the best! You get allot of cool things. Wow, that would be a big culture schock! Its odd going from a town where you barely know your neighbors to a city where houses are on top of each other. I live a pretty populated place but nothing like the big city. But thats one things I loved about japan was the big city! I love all the people,crowds, noise,big lights and signs and all that.

And second part~
OMG! when I was there I couldn't go a day without hearing Jan geun seok's name!( excuse my spelling) Its that reason I refuse to watch anything with him in it.(But I really want to watch his version of kimi was petto(Im such a hypocryte)) In shinokubo I saw 4 shops on one street dedicated to ONLY Jan geun seok and I heard there were certain stations dedicated to kpop. And the family I was staying withs daughter was Obsessed with him. I saw allot of korean culture in Japan and boy was I excited when I got there xD. And cartoon KATTUN is very funny. They made a few more T.V shows after that (Minus Akanishi) May I ask what your biggest culture shock was? Mine was the toilets,..so...many...buttons...

Yes! I love Jhonnys! And yes, I love KATTUN, HSJ and Yamapi. I agree its nice to talk to another gaijin to talk too.xD
I adore Ryosuke(And matsujun) but I thought the drama he was in was cute but also very slow and kinda boring (in my opinion), sadly I haven't liked any of the drama's he's played in.
And Im very sorry for assuming you were a high school student, I just didn't know they offered it in college but I'll definitely look into that and see if its possible here.
Thank you. And yup, outside of shops in the store they have a magazine that shows all of their products and the magazines are free! And I had no clue that you could get free ramen! China was definitely a trip, long story xD I got to experience allot of the culture through a tourist point of view and it was definitely fun. May I ask what you enjoy most about your stay there so far?

This was interesting at first...but it just dragged on...and on..and on. Not to mention the storyline stopped making sense after a while.

And second, I was also surprised by the amount of free stuff! Like all the fashion magazines! I stocked up on those cause I'm an artist and that stuff is great for reference.(ntm tissues)
and I love jhonnys (you might too? cause I see yamapi's your favorite actor) but there weren't any songs out at that time so kpop bands were posted everywhere. Im so happy your sharing this with me, How rare that a random person I talk to is in japan right now? Life is odd. Also! last thing, there are allot of good Taiwaneses drama's, The one you mentioned I never saw but I have allot I can suggest but I'll save that for another time cause my message is already long.

No worries at all this is all very exciting! And how odd, thats amazing, I had no clue school was like that. I was under the impression that school was everything and students had no free time. Thats great, so you went their as a high school student? Im a college student now so I don't know if that choice has passed me up or not. But thats awesome! I had no clue about the difference between relationships in high school and college. Once again I say that is so cool. One piece was popular too when I went but unfortunetly I didn't get to go to a Jhonnys store T.T(but I will next time! I'm gonna make sure). The funnest thing I did in japan was Karaoke! How come we don't have that here! We sang all TVXQ and Jhonnys songs xD Did you karaoke? And I visited China for about a month a few years back and Im planning a trip to japan in the near future. Hbu? have you traveled anywhere else?

oh! thank you allot! That helped me allot. Ill definitely try that next then :D Thank you for the in depth overview.

:D Thanks. Im watching the new Detective conan drama now and Im really satisfied with it, I didn't think the Detective conan drama's out did the anime/manga justice but this one does. One I want to start is "Love Keeps going" It has mike he in it but im not sure if i'll like the drama or not :P

That is amazing! I am so excited for you! I had an exchange student so I understand completely what your talking about! Its so great you got to experience something like that! I have a question, is the school work as hard as I heard? Do you have any free time outside of school? And whats popular in japan right now? I know they go through fads(AKB48 was in when I went) . I dislike takoyaki when I tried it, but I think its just my tastes but I love their chicken and hamburg. I went to the popular tourist places like Akihabara, Tokyo and shinokubo(forgive spelling) and got to visit an onsen and see the mountains. I hope you get to travel some before you head back and please tell me more! what did you hate or like about your trip? :D And have you ever watched a Taiwanese drama?(sorry for another long message im just excited :D)

Well thats good advice xD I just might do that.

wow! Tell me more! Are you an exchange student or something? How in the world did you end up there! xD gosh I don't even know you and Im excited for you! I visited there for a few weeks but I still didn't get to experience everything. Thats freaking awesome! Please share more! And I saw a few of those drama's but I haven't heard of a few so Ill definitely try :D and thats a great description of that drama I might just watch it now xD

yes! Drama slump. I have a few Im planning on watching I just need the time to sit down and do it!

thankfully I just finished those but Im trying to watch some drama! I just can't seem to get into any right now? Its so frustrating...i think im being to judgmental?

Oh well its wasn't really ask so much as have a conversation :D So have any recommendations for some drama I could watch?

Im doing great :D So.. what your favorite drama?

Hello there! I saw your response on something and totally agreed so I wanted so say Hello and whats up?

I agree, they are shorter and less episodes but I think Taiwanese drama are the best to dramathon because they are long and it seems like each episode doesn't end xD

Hello there, I saw your comment on a post and thought I really related to it so I wanted to drop by and say Hi, how are you?

This was so clever! xD I am now part of a professional sport. One that involves great concentration and years of practice to perfect. Now if only this was a college requirement....
