NEW NINJAI ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Holy Ka-Moly, there's been a new announcement at the Ninjai sight. Apparently the gang is making Ninjai into a full length movie, which is going to be released in Theatres! I hope that it's going to be as awesome as it sounds. The quality of the animation has been 'upped' and the martial arts sequences and choreography are supposedly mind blowing! I'm sure it will be. I can't wait. I hope their sister project, 'Karma Kula' will be out soon. At least more news about it. It will be totally amazing. Best wishes to them. Anyway, here's the link to their page to check out the update. FINALLY!

Back in Business

First thing I had when I came back. So glad to see everyone here again. WOOT!

Busy as a Bee

Sigh... I'm boarding the plane back to Tokyo soon. I'm actually at the airport right now. Really enjoyed my time over and am gonna miss everyone once again. Got some gifts for Yuki and all the other guys. I bought some Ninjai Tshirts. :) haha... Hm... i'm excited but not really at the same time. I don't know. But I'm tired. 

I've been busy as a bee going to different places I used to go to when I used to live in America. I've also caught up with all the latest news and movies with my cousins. 

I'm so stuffed... and really lazy to write anything. Christmas was great. Everyone was really glad to see me, at least I think they were. :) Nobody's changed and I've adjusted to the culture shock. Maybe because I can now buy my fave Japanese food at the Oriental store. Including Onigiri! 

Currently viewing a list of blockbuster movies... ones that i missed since i was in Japan. Having done as much as I had hoped yet... but will do this coming weekend. It's boxing day soon! alright! :D

RETURN TO AMERICA!!! DA DUM!

I have arrived in California safe and sound. The air is strange, the food is strange, the people look strange... The cars are huge, the highways long and wide and there are houses everywhere... There are no vending machines to be seen. When I approach a fellow American, I find myself stuttering, my tongue stuck in between two languages. When I eat, I'm the only one who thanks for the meal. When I go to the convenience store, I see shelves and shelves of chips and drinks... but no onigiri... 

COULD THIS BE CULTURE SHOCK!?!!?!?!

Yes, I'm afraid it is. When I arrived in Tokyo a few months ago, I expected to be blown away by the culture and way of life of the Japanese. I WAS blown away, but not the kind where you have a hard time adjusting. I flowed in the river quite nicely, so to speak. I never would have expected to experience culture shock back home, where I had grown up all my life!

It's a strange experience. I miss Japan but I also missed my family and friends. Well, I got what I wished for! :) I've returned but... I feel like I'm a different person... like an alien almost to this country of America. Many things have changed, yet things are still the same. I'm probably just missing Japan and Grandpa. Hehe. :D But it's a very interesting thing, this culture shock feeling. I'm sure I'll adjust in no time, too. 

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Hey, all... I'll be heading off to America for the holidays on Sunday evening. I'll still blog of course! :) But I'm pretty excited and yet nervous at the same time. I wonder what's happening over there. Perhaps my needed 'break' from my family is over? I don't know what'll happen when I get there and afterwards, too, when I return back to Japan. Everyone is excited to see me, to know about my living in Japan, and etc. I've got my computer ready, full of pictures of the country and my friends to show off. Speaking of which, I'm going to have to give them a demonstration of one of my Judo forms. I wish I didn't have to. I'm not very good. :P So I've got all my things organized and ready to be packed away. (I'm glad I'm organized.) When I'm over in America, I'm going to get presents for Yuki and all the other guys. I'm thinking of what to get. I wish I could get them a 'real' cheeseburger, New York pizza, or something cool and totally American. Hm... that'll be on my mind... I've also got my ipod full of stuff to listen to while I'm flying. Though I'm sure there are tons of movies and things to waste my time onboard. Ha. All in all, I'm pretty stoked on going back.
