J'habite à Lyon depuis septembre 2016.
I live in Lyon, France, since September 2016.

Je suis étudiant japonais. J’étudie la littérature française et un peu la critique de cinéma. Je m'intéresse aux littératures et cultures francophones, au Maghreb, à la cuisine, au rhythm and blues, au hip-hop, au jazz fusion(musique) et au film. Je joue de la guitare et de la basse.

I'm a student from Japan. My major is French literature, but I study a little Film criticism too. I'm interested in Francophone literatures and cultures, Maghreb, Food culture, R&B, Hip hop, Jazz fusion(music) and Film. I play the guitar and the bass.

Je ne parle pas encore bien français, mais je veux essayer vous bavarder.
I can't speak English well, so I study English.
