CURRENT MISSION

Broaden My Horizon By Meeting New People!!! Be Happy!!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Kagawa, Japan, which is 3 hours drive from Osaka. My hometown is a small city, but has lots of nature, mountains and Setonaikai Sea.
I left Kagawa for Tokyo to enter the university.
when I was in my 3rd year of college, i went to Alberta in Canada. Main reason I went there was for brushing my English up. I lived in Edmonton from September in 2011, to July in 2012.

I was studying about India(language, culture, history and so on…) in my home university.
India is an energetic and fantastic country, so I decided to study about it.
I had a choice to go to India as an international student, but I decided to visit Canada after all since I needed to improve my English first.

Music, Movies, and Books

*Music
Coldplay (Yellow is the best song!!)
Jason Mraz
Katy Perry
Maroon5
I usually don't listen kind of party songs, but when I feel sad I listen to them and the bubbly tempo of those songs make me forget about sad things!

*Movies
Disney(especially Lion King!!!)
Studio Ghibli
Pirates of the Caribbean Series
Harry Potter Series

*Books
Kafka on the Shore
Do you know Haruki Murakami, Japanese famous writer? If not, it's really worth reading his books. "Kafka on the Shore" is one of his best seller books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bargaining for taxi(ricksha) fee with taxi drivers in India! Honestly, it was so annoying at first, but at the same time, it was really fun! Some drivers asked us to sing a song then he'll give us discount!lol

Living in Canada! I met many awesome friends from all over the world in my dormitory called International House. It was literally "International". And I met an awesome girl from Korea. Even my English is not perfect, I really enjoyed talking, cooking, exercising, eating with her. She went back to Korea in May 2012. I'm so sure I'll visit Korea to meet her!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Japanese and Japanese culture
I'm happy that many Japanese manga and anime have kept catching attention from manga lovers all over the world. but in fact, it's not the only part of Japanese culture. I'd be happy to answer your questions about Japan! I want to introduce(or sing?) awesome Japanese songs as was a member of a capella club!

Learn: Languages
As I'm studying language in my home university, I love learning language. They say that English is the most international language, and I'd agree with it. But it would be so much fun if I can talk with people in their native languages. Hindi with Indian people, Spanish with Spanish people, French with French people, Korean with Korean people... Even if they know only easy greetings, I feel a sense of affinity when foreign people talk to me in Japanese.

Share: The stories of our lives! No one has boring life. Each person has each story of his/her life and no story is same as other's.
