My perfect strategy for saving up on CD/DVD shipping has been flushed down the infinite void of a JR train station toilet by the insidious conspiracy known as Neowing (better known as CDJapan).
A true story of love and courage from yours truly. Okay, so there's not much courage involved and the love is somewhat superficial. but hell at least it's a story.
That’s the truth and you know it. Well she certainly sings better than me, but so does most of the entire population of this planet! I will be lying if I say that I don’t like “God knows…”, but I think Aya’s over-hyped popularity comes almost entirely from her role as Haruhi. So anyway, Aya’s [...]

I’m sure you have encountered plenty of song titles that sound cool at first but don’t seem to make much sense when you think about them. I’m not talking about Engrish titles (e.g. “Can you feel crying alone?” by tiaraway) because you can still make out the general meaning of the title, I am instead [...]

Okay, so I’m just a little overdue for the next Japanese lesson chapter. It will come soon, I promise. Really. Anyway, I’m going to spend a little time today talking about the difference between hentai and ecchi and why Hentai, as we use it, is really an English word. There’s nothing NSFW. Really. Okay maybe [...]
