I'm in Japan!

This is my second day since I got here. It's raininig today. It's rainy season so, I kind of saw this coming. But u know what's crazy? It's quite hot. You need a fan to to prevent complaonongI still can't sleep　well though. Today I woke up at 4:59. Basically 5. Last night, I went sleep early so I feel really weird. I mean I slept a little after seven. I feel like I'm in second gade or something. I aso cut my hair. it used to be long enough to touch my shoulders and more but now it barely touches y shoulders. I love it! I kind of look like whne I was five thugh.... But it's still nice. Plus i straightend it so the curls that were really bothering me are gone.

Today, we're going to the mall. This one's huge! It has two game centers, LOTS of reasturants, places to buy snacks like Baskin robinsm, a book store, and lots more. Though I don't think I can buy any manga. I already bought Kobato #4, choclate #1&2, Nakayoshi, and Myojo. Nakayoshi is siilar to magazine but it has different manga by chapters. One chapter per book and one book per month. Myojo is an awesome magazine that has almost all the people that work for Johnney's entertainmrnt in it. That's the company that NEWS and arashi work for if you did'nt know. Ihavn't rread it yet but I want to today. I really enjoying the televison. Today, I have to watch arashi ni shiyagare. It'a arashi's new show. I like it since they have no clue what they're going to do that day. they just have thier mouths wide open whne they see who the guest is. I' ll be updating yu all about all the things I do so I have something to do.

SUMMER!!!

It's finally summer vacation! It's the time of the year that I live for. Do you know the reason fro that? Well, that's because I get to go to Japan! Since my mom's family lives in Japan, we go there every summer to see them. Sinec I'm always in Japan, I haven't celebrated a lot of things in my whole life. Such as the Fourth of July. All I know is that there are fireworks and they look pretty. What else do people do? Who knows. But I make the best of it over there by celebrating their traditional holidays such as tanabata. that's on the 7th of July. You get a big piece of Bamboo and hang pieces of paper that have wishes on them and put it outside. They have some story about it that I can't quite remember but I think it has something to do with a prince and a princess having to cross the milky way to see each other. It sounds like a Japanese version of Romeo and Juliet.
Well, you all don't have to worry about me not blogging since my aunt has this awesome computer that is brand new. It's soooooooo shiny. I'll be blogging about all my boring days in Japan. Wit for the terrible pictures too.

One more thing. I'm leaving on the Wednesday and coming back on the twenty-eighth of August.

The F4

Have you people heard of Hana Yori Dango before? Well, it's this awesome manga. For those of you who don't know what that is, I'll give you a short summary of what it's about.

Hana Yori Dango is about a girl named Makino Tsukushi who goes to a rich private school called Eitoku gakuen. This school is practically controlled by these boys who call themselves the F4. The F4 consists of Hanazawa Rui, the so called mysterious one, Mimasaka Akira, the member of the F4 that only dates women who are at the least ten years older than him, Nishikido Soujiro, a play-boy and a womenizer, and lastly Domyouji Tsukasa, the leader of the group that is the son of a huge company known throughout the world. They're parents all own huge companies or cooperation and they pay the school money so they can do whatever they want! Even the teachers can't say anything! Anyway, the plot of the story is that Domyouji falls in love with Makino and Makino falls in love with Domyouji. At the end, they get married wich is a really nice ending compared to what they did to each other in the beginning.

The reason I was blogging about Hana Yori Dango is because I recently noticed that my life is so much like it. First of all these group of boys are so much like the F4. First for the people you probably know if you read my blog as well as chicken's servants blog. I thought that Young hoon would be Domyouji and Hohoemi-kun would be Nishikido Soujiro. The reason for that is because Young hoon is the type that hits people and Hohoemi is Japanese and expects every girl he likes to like him back. Then, for some people you've never heard of. I'm going to call them Berry and Demetre. ( sorry for the random name for those of you who know them) berry is more like Hanazawa Rui and Demetre is Mimasaka Akira. I think Mimasaka akira is perfect for him sice he seems nice at first but turns out he is as annoying as the rest of them. Well, for Berry, I don't know. I mean he can play the piano which is similar to Hanazawa rui except he plays the violin. Plus they both seem like the nicest one in the group of little brats but basically, he was just left over. Plus, it's not only them. It's also Diana. She seems so similar to this girl named Sakurako. she's Makino's friend at first but turns out she's just some crazy lunatic that just adores and hates the F4. Especially Domyouji. She evn has a scrap book with pics of them since they were in preschool! I don't think that Diana does since all of them weren't exactly friends in the previous years.

So here's a short scenario to prove my point.
Lets just say that I'm the main character. In the beginning Makino or myself falls head over heels over Hanazwa Rui or Berry, which I did. Then Sakurako aka Diana suddenly does some horrible things that you would know about if you read my older post, which all happened to me. Though I never changed who I liked over the year but it basically has the same story line. Don't you think?

Cherry Picking!

Today, I went cherry picking. There were rows and rows of cherry trees with ripe ones. Then again, some of them weren't even close to being ripe. You got to pick the cherries yourself in a bucket. My two year-old cousin that I'm going to call Shizuka stuffed her face with It was really fun.

嵐 Arashi

Well, here I go again with my random ramblings because I'm bored. Well, this time it's about Arashi(嵐) They're a band that works for the same company as NEWS but they debuted before them. By a lot actually because they debuted in 1999 and NEWS was n 2003.
Anyway, the band consists of Ohno Staoshi, Aiba Masaki, Sakurai Sho, Ninomiya Kazunari, and Matsumoto Jun. Their first single was called A-RA-SH-I and their following single was Sunrise Nippon/Horizon. Their sales started to decline in the years of 2002 - 2005. Then their sales increased like crazy by 2007. That's all thanks to Hana Yori Dango. (Thank you Hana Yori Dango!) They sang the theme songs for the drama ,which Matsumoto was starring in, called Wish, Love so sweet, and for the movie One Love. Around this time,which i think is funny, Nino started to loose his confidence. so, he wanted to go to Hollywood to become a professional actor. By the way, he didn't succeed but he starred in a Hollywood movie so close enough. Anyway, they started lots of show such as VS arashi, Himitsu no Arashichan, and my favorite Arashi ni Shiyagare. The reason why I like it is because they aren't told anything about who's going to come on the show so they're always so clueless. It makes me laugh when they see the guest and they have they're mouths wide open. They hosted the yearly 24 hour television twice and got ten Japanese golden disc awards; practically Japanese Grammy awards. The thing that caught my eye about them during the summer was they rented Tokyo Disney Sea for one night just for one concert! When I first heard about it, I thought they were the craziest people ever because they were giving out the tickets by selling curry. Something like the golden ticket in Charlie and the chocolate factory. My mom added that arashi fans would have to eat curry for months. lol
Anyway, they are at thier peak right know and are really known. They were even used for the commercial of the New Super Mario Bros. (since they always have someone playing it as a demonstration. when Nino played, since he is a game otaku, he looked like he was having the most fun.
Anyway, I'm going to do the same thing as I did with NEWS and put lyrics to a song they sing. But it's a little too long so it's going to be a whole different post.

my music

You know how I have music on the side? Well, listening to card captor sakura is nice and all but I'm just going to change it from anime songs. I'll have some but not as much. I really just want to listen to more Arashi and NEWS. The ones I'm definitely keeping are the ones from love com cuz of three reasons. One I like them. Two, the people who are singing (tegomass= tegoshi and masuda from NEWS& Hey say 7) all work for the same agency as Arashi and NEWS. Well, for Hey say 7 I'm not sure but I know some of them are in Hey say jump so it all works out. Last but not least three is that they're all songs from anime that I like. so just giving you a warning the first song u hear is probably going to be quite up beat.
For the pic, I found it on the internet and I liked the colors so I just put it on here. The pretty colors!!!

NEWS

I don't know what to blog about so I just decided to write about certain Japanese boy bands. It's really random but I'm going to start with NEWS.
There are six members in NEWS.
Nishikido Ryo, Koyama Keiichiro, Yamashita Tomohisa, Masuda Takahisa, Kato Shigeaki, and Tegoshi Yuya. There also used to be three others but when they sang NEWS Nippon for the world cup volley ball tournament, two of the three were caught messing around were they served alcohol thus drinking and getting drunk. Obviously, they were too young and were down graded to trainees.The other one just chose to quit I don't know exactly which one of them but one of them signed up for the agency again and know is part of kan jani ∞. (this is an eight. ∞=this)

Any way, they debuted formed in 2003 and sang NEWS Nippon (their first single) for volleyball. They also sang Sayaendō for a ONE PIECE movie. after that, they went on hiatus and came back in December 2006. They also sing one of my favorite songs sakura girl. I have a link to You tube so u can see the music video at the end. I just am osessed with this song so I'm just going to put the lyrics to it. My favorite part is the first verse. It's kind of sad because the song is about breaking up. In the music video, one of them gets slapped by a girl. lol

first in romaji:

Then in English:
Cherry blossom
You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)
Cherry blossom

It was a sudden encounter with the two of us in the classroom
We just said such random lines of dialog
But for me, I will never forget any of it
I will remember it my whole life
It's beautiful because it can fall like a petal
I didn't know that so I guess there was nothing I could do

You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)
Cherry blossom

I couldn't find words to respond to your "goodbye"
It's still something I can't accept
But I can't see you in front of me any longer
Even the empty shell of me has been smashed to pieces
“It's beautiful because it is short-lived”
I don't want to hear things like that since now everything seems gray

You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)
Cherry blossom

You were like a cherry blossom, our romance was like spring
I had felt like it would go on forever
The wind blew to make it flutter down, to make my heart go pit-a-pat
That breeze takes it away
Flutter, flutter my cherry blossom (my cherry blossom)

La la love, cherry blossom La la love, cherry blossom

SORRY

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry I haven't blogged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had lots of junk on the laptop I use and my dad told me to delete some of it. It's not that easy when you have 238 photos just of anime! plus there was this music I didn't want so I threw that away. But I'm not done yet. Plus, we had all this homework, tests, and projects all AT THE SAME TIME. Well, I'll start blogging as fast as I can!

sweets

Don't you love sweets? well, when I went to Japan this summer and I took lots of pictures of sweets. As you can see, there is cake and cantaloupe. i ate the chocolate cake and my brother ate the one that's pink and looks like a peach. As it turns out, it was made from a peach. Whole! the canta loupe was from Hokkaido and is the best in Japan and was delicious.

Evil people I know

sorry I didn't get to post this before I went to arrowhead. It was because I went a little over in insulting Diana.... Well, here it is

You know how there are so many people that aren't very nice in the world. Well, I decided to tell you about the people I despise the most in the world top 3!

#3= Younghoon
I have no idea if I spelled his name right, but who cares! He came to my school in fourth grade and he didn't seem to be like a bad kid but after you get to know him, he's horrible. He's a war obsessed, racist, Korean kid. He has freakishly neat hand writing that literally looks like he printed it off the computer. I showed my mom his work and she asked me if he typed it and put it back to it's formal place. His sisters are very nice and I've seen the youngest one when she wasn't very good at walking and his mom's the nicest one. I don't know about his dad but I wonder why he became so horrible.....

#2= The roaches
Me and my friend call them the roaches as in like a cockroach. It's not just one person but a whole family of bastards. They all go to my horrible Japanese Well, all except their mom and we don't know much about their dad but they probably got it from their dad's side of the family. The part of the family that bugs me and my friend crazy consists of four people.

First are the twins. Sadly they're in my class. They consist of Mark and Andrew. There almost impossible to tell apart though my teacher can. The only thing I can tell them apart by is there clothes. I can't remember which one it was but he had this really ugly jacket that was furry inside. For some odd reason he wore it inside out and he looked like a bear. Now my friend calls him Chewbacca.

Next is Joseph. He's in my class also and he's in the sixth grade. Well, except that he looks like he's in third grade! He's tiny! Turns out he's worse than all of them.
There's a cooking class and you have to bring an apron. Any way, He brought one that was pink and had flowers all over it. First we called him Laura like in Little house on the prairie. Then he stopped wearing that and now wears a yellow version. Now we call him Nelly from the same book.

The last ones name is Joshua. He's probably the least annoying out of all of them. he's in the fourth grade and is the same height as Joseph. Even if he's not that mean to us, our friend says he's the worst one. Plus he's related to them so he counts.

#1 Diana Palma
I Hate her the most so I used her full name. If you just meet her, she's the kind of person you would tell your inner most deepest secrets to. Yeah, right. I used to be her friend in first grade and I use to look up to her because she had the nicest writing. But now, she did something to me that I will never forgive her for. She used her trust from me and tricked me. Turned my world upside down. It turns out she's the best when it comes to tricking people because everyone trust her. I'll explain to you what she did now.

Like any one at the time, I trusted and believed her. Also like any person in the world (Well, I hope it's this way) I really liked someone. Before I fell for this person, I had reread parts of Lovely Complex(for those of you who don't know, it's a manga about a girl that falls in love with a boy that is shorter than her) so this person was shorter than me. That sounds like he grew in a short period of time, but not at all. He's still very short. Any way,she sat at the same table as him and said that he told her that he liked me but didn't want to tell me because he thought I wouldn't like him because of his height. Obviously this wasn't true but I fell for him. The worst part, we had a long term substitute that had recently changed our seats. Magically, the teacher put him next to me because she wouldn't move me. Guess what, I still sit in that same seat but luckily he doesn't. I f you ever experienced having a scarf tightly around your neck and also being shoved into a stuffy room, you'll now how I felt. We had a test that day, which I did horribly on, that seemed hard because of what Diana said. But when I came outside, she told me it was all a lie and started laughing like it was a prank she pulled on me on April Fools day!!! After that, she kept bothering me making me hit her with fritos. Now that I think of it, that's a waste of fritos. (trust me I

Shortly after she had mentioned him something and he told me these exact words.
" Diana told me something and I think we should put it behind us." I thought it was a really sweet thing for him to say on his part. So even though I had no idea what he was talking about I agreed to whatever it was because what he said was sweet.When I told my friend, she told me it sounded like something in a sit-com.Now that she mentioned it, doesn't it? Aftre the fact, I asked her(well my friend did) what she told him. You know what she said? She said "oh, that was so long ago. I just told him that it was a lie." All I wanted to tell her was "what was a lie! Someone tell me!!!!!" But I stayed quiet.

If that's not enough, she's teamed up with my brother telling him that I like this kid named Jeffery! Guess what? I hate him almost as much as Young hoon so why would I! Now my brother still thinks I like him!

My conclusion of her is that she's a horrible person that hurts you mentally.

Now that I told you about which three people in the world I hate the most, which one do you hate more?

Listen to this

I do community service every Friday at the end of the day. I help kindergartners that are a little reckless but other wise they are really cute. This week I helped the kindergartners paint. The special ed kids came to visit that day and one of them came to paint with the few kids that were chosen to paint. One boy that was there, lets call him A for now, was painting and having fun like any other kindergartner would be. But when the special ed boy came to paint with us, do you know what he said? He said something similar to this," I don't want to touch them! They're weird." he even called one of them disgusting. Have you ever heard of such a kindergartner before?

I've started reading a new manga

I started reading kingdom hearts and vampire knight. Kingdom hearts is about a boy named Sora that travels with Donald and Goofy. Sora is trying to seal or lock all the locks in each world before the evil Maleficent steals the heart of the world. He uses the Keyblade to fight and to obviously lock the doors. Donald and Goofy are trying to find King Mickey because he suddenly left to try to put the once one , now broken worlds together.
They go through different worlds and lock the doors as they go. Besides the manga, Kingdom hearts is a game. I am planing to get the newest version on the Wii during the summer. Of course it'll be in Japanese because that's were I go every summer. They have this game in English also but I'm not going to get it in English because I'd rather have the original. Plus, The translations and the voices are just strange. I mean this is an assumption but it is most often this way. Even if it is done by pros.



This is Vampire Knight. Besides all girl in the middle, they are vampires. They all go to Cross academy. They have a day class and a night class. The day class consists of humans bu the night class is only vampires. The story is about a girl named Yuki cross that goes ti this school. She and her adopted brother, even though he doesn't consider himself that, named zero and together they are the guardians of Cross academy. They hide the secret of the night class from the day class.　Kaname, a vampire saved Yuki's life ten years ago and she likes him. As the story goes on, she finds out that zero is a vampire.
Unlike Kingdom hearts, vampire knight isn't a game. It has a television show. By the way, people named on/off sing the theme song.
