What comes to your mind when you hear "Japan"?

Anime!! Haven't anyone noticed that anime never goes out of style? I heard that dragon ball is getting popular in Europe and my gosh!! I watched those stuff more than 10 years ago. As for the food, those things I always see in ANIME!! Lol. Hey I like Judo!! As you can see in my post, I did Aikido- it's similar only that Aikido concentrates more on Philosophical writings and using your opponent's strength against himself.

Yup it sure does!! Hey snowfox, do u think it's ok if i add u up as a friend? It seems to me that we share some things in common and we also have the same interests. Feel free to add me up and let's talk about some stuff. Peace mate!

Yes, ANIME RULES!!!

Ohmigosh~!! Arashi matsu jun?!! And you also like Gokusen! Way to go. I love Matsu Jun and Akanishi Jin in it! lol It seems we have the same taste in music and some other things lol. Way to Go orange_

I love Arashi! I like Matsujun also- he's good in Gokusen, Hana Yori Dango and Bambino! but i super loove Nino (arashi, letters from iwo jima) haha. I'm happy we have the same interests. I will add you up ha! thanks!!

HEy there! How are you? Have u heard of the new T.V shows that are popular? It's called Hana Kimi, a girl pretending to be a boy in an all boys school. And have u also watched hana yori dango 2? I'm watching some parts of it and it's really hilarious! Although I still think the part 1 is still the best.

well, I am not really a hard core fan of anime but I simply laugh a lot when watching Doraemon and Sin Chan. As for Banzai, I put it as a word that is frequently used when a Japanese is in an attack mode. LOL... and I have never heard of the banzai TV show before...

Hi Shakeroo I'm just curious, have u evr heard of the anime called Naruto and Bleach? These two are famous since the times it were released into the big screen. I think Naruto is now a sensational video game. I am kinda addicted to it if you ask me. Well if you haven't seen them, maybe you can consider it next time. PEace~!!

Hey shakeroo! Are you also anime fan? Interesting to know that the first few things that come to your mind is anime lololol. Yah, the sushi does come to my mind as well lol. I used to watch Ultraman, Doraemon when i was in grade school. Is Banzai that crazy tb show?

add Mt. Fuji and technology in the list ^_^

Thanks ^_^ Yup! she is, she's very popular anywhere she go ^_^ a natural born artist for dancing, singing, acting and modeling added to her beauty ^_^

FUJI-Yama~!! A lot of my Japanese friends invited me to go climbing there. Wow lucky you!! Your girlfriend must be so beautiful. Yes, Samurai does kinda come to my mind at times like "the last Samurai" , Horror films etc... Ever wonder why these things are so linked to Japan? Sounds kinda stereotypical right?!!

Hellloooooo Kitttyyyyy!!! I used to collect tons of those stuff from papers, to stuffed toys, to spoon and forks or anything with HK on it. Sakura flowers are pretty in the spring. my friends gave me pictures of it. Harajuku style is popularized by gwen steffani right?

Hi lipscare!! Please add me up. lol I do love Sanrio stuff. It's kinda weird but if i tell you that my spoon and fork that I use for travelling is Hello Kitty lol! i'm not the only one into Hello Kitty. I even saw a Hello Kitty baseball bat haw. lol! So what else are u into in JPN?

Hei.... we have in common, i colect a hello kitty doll, and shirt. Harajuku style...mmmmm (thinking) yup gwen stefani and madonna ( sometimes )... Hallo, it's nice to meet you..

Wow!! I'm amazed you have been to Japan. I somehoe envy you. "arigato" is thank you in Japanese lol. So what's Japan like? If u don't mind sharing some more?

Hokkaidooo!!!! Wow Snow, snow, more snow, gasp more snow!!! and SNOW!! It's really cold there men! I can't believe you've been there lol. Ooooh Onsen. Yes, i've heard of the famous hot springs over there but i'm not sure if it's a good idea coz doesn't everyone like share a hot spring? And it's so hot, but then the air is cold, strange combination! lol. Yes, Geisha's dancing style is totally unique. It makes me think of memoirs of a geisha.

Hey violeta_va I'm impressed that you were able to mention about environmental issues. I had no idea that Japan was into that. Hahahaha Yes which reminds me I kinda tried dressing up like a geisha many halloweens ago. lol!

well they are into it big time

Wow Sakura!! I almost forgot that yeah There's Tokyo Disneyland lol. I'm quite amazed that a lot of people like Hana Yori Dango as well as Gokusen. I remember Matsu Jun and Akanishi Jin in these series. Way to go girl!! We share the same interests.

Oh... I forgot.. when you say Japan, you'll also mean technology.. camera, gadgets, computers... for short AKIHABARA ELECTRONIC CITY! =)

Hey there! I was invited to go to hokkaido but I think it's too cold to go there anyways. As for Gackt, what song of his do u like? I find his hairstyle strange at times. Akihabara is what I think of when I see lots of electronics. Sakuraaaaa!!! I love those cherry blossoms. I think it's getting hot now so it's starting to bloom. As for Anime, what kinds do u like? I love Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, Dragon Ball and anything with fighting action!

yeah! its so cold there unlike tokyo. Really? hehehe! ahm, Redemption because i play Final Fantasy and The Returner because i looove him in Furin Kazan. lol. but i also like his song on Gundam and the one with the vampire in his MV. Akihabara, yeah boku moo!

ANIME Anime Anime, do u know your Anime...(sing to the tune of the continents) Hey there! I guess almost everyone in here agrees that anime is totally strongly linked to Japan! It's good to know that you also like bleach and naruto. Well yes, I learned japanese through animation and singing! But save for the bad words i also unfortunately learned from them lol. As for cherry blossoms, I heard on the news that lots of it were seen over the parks!! Aaaw it's not fair! I wanted to see them! Well believe me or not, I know one family who is also a direct descendant of Samurai. It's kinda creepy how they were able to trace their lineage for so long!! Their technology is also Subarashii ne~!! Hey i want to share some of my pics in here but i want to show you what i have from Japan/Japanese. lol~!

Hey there! When I was young, anime was one of the reasons why I got so addicted with that culture! But then, i hear that anime is also a heyper-exaggeration of their culture! Peacefulness? Well I hear that Tokyo is safe but i'm just scared of the notorious Yakuza gangs! I know they're mean lol. And yes, the food! Which reminds me I just had japanese food for lunch! lol. Well if you get to go there! Then hope we could meet up

Hummmm.....judging on what you have said, it seems like the very same scene that I see in Tokyo Drift! Is it so? I wonder why lots of people say the samw about japan this way. And i thought sakura blossoms on the street were the ones that you could see everywhere!!

Dark lolita? Is that like the anime? And yes we do have a lot of things in common. Most especially like the one where we think of anime, jpop and all those sushi!! Gosh i'm getting hungry just thinking about it and of course lol all other things that screams -Japan!!

Hi Kisamommy. Haha! I do agree that sushi and samurai are a few things that pop into my mind. I also do love Geisha which was inspired by the movie. As for Pocky it's really funny to see that commercial something like singing pocky!! Hey if we do get our dream of going to JP then let's meet up there and talk things over sushi!

Hey yo! Roppingo is like soooo expensive!! I think I could only survive roppongi in like 2 hours. But I know the hottest stars hang out in there lol. Ginza is the coolest shopping ditrict right? haven't heard of Tokyo tower and Disneyland huuuu I think the one in HK is better. And Narita Airport! is somewhere in Chiba?

Hey hitsuzen!! We surely do have the same notion of what japan is. I used to study also nihongo with my neighbor who was really nice. I also think about the food food food! All the sushi and the yakisoba that i wanna eat. What kind of Japanese music do you usually like? I like anything hiphop like m-flo. Geishhhhaaaaa!!! lol

Hey there!! Yes I do also think of Fujiyama. I think it has been a long standing symbol of Japan. What kind of Jpop do you usually like? It seems to me that you are also learning nihongo. Way cool! Ganbatte momoiroyume!~

Hi, thanks for giving the comment. And yea, I will be checking out the site later and probably learn a lot about it. Just a few days ago, I met in the hospital a woman whose husband is Japanese. She told me also all about the Japanese culture and some misconceptions about the culture and place. So I guess, this site will also widen my horizon. Haha, Chalk it up for J-pop!

Hey there!You have obviously been to japan! I envy you. As for me, I think I can add to the existing list that I placed here on mylot.com coz now I also can add Sakura, Hana Kimi, and all other things. I also have a picture of me and my japanese friends who came here in davao city. I also miss them so much! I sometimes think of the Wacky one-liners of the kansai boys and baseball!
