You

I
have
been
living
in
Tokyo
for
2
and
a
half
years.
I
spent
2
years
in
Osaka
before
that.
I
thoroughly
enjoy
your
website.
In
terms
of
insider(outsider)-jokes,
silly
j-content
and
a
clear
vision
of
the
irony
of
this
country,
I
think
you
have
hit
the
nail
on
the
head.
Did
you
ever
see
the
Nova
Usagi
gore
drawings
collection?
Best
of
luck
and
if
you're
in
Tokyo,
let
me
know,
we
can
drink
a
veer.

tuned...Thanks
much
for
the
enthusiasm.

Thanks
for
the
posting
of
observations
on
japandemic.
Do
the
photos
come
first
and
then
the
thoughts,
or
the
other
way
around.
I'll
be
in
Kyoto
in
a
few
weeks
(as
soon
as
finals
are
over).
You've
given
me
another
perspective
to
see
the
city
from.
Thanks
William
This
process
question
has
given
me
pause.
Upon
reflecting
I'd
say
that
often
the
photos
come
first
and
then
some
way
of
presenting
them
floats
up...except
for
the
times
when
I
want
to
get
something
off
my
chest
and
then
have
to
hunt
around
for
a
good
picture
to
support
it.
When
on
the
hunt
for
the
right
photo
I
feel
I
look
sketchy
and
suspicious
as
the
dickens.

Great
site
Mr.
Smith.
Thank
you
and
agreed,
Mr.
Jones.

Really
enjoyed
your
website,
made
me
feel
like
I
was
back
where
my
spirit
belongs,
Japan.
I
worked
for
Boeing
for
one
year
while
living
in
Yokohama.
I
want
to
go
back
and
live
there
but
I
have
yet
to
summon
the
courage.
Married,
making
100K
+
and
doing
all
the
things
a
successful
businessmen
in
America
are
suppose
to
do.
I
love
the
spirit
of
Japan,
however
ruthless
the
work
might
be.
Do
you
have
any
suggestions
on
how
to
make
the
transition
from
a
successful
American
to
going
to
Japan
and
scratching
for
a
living
at
50
years
of
age.
As
you
can
tell,
I
left
my
heart
in
Japan.
I
feel
30
in
Japan,
70
in
the
US
of
A.
Anyway
thanks
for
the
ambiance,
really
nice
website.

Not
that
it
is
the
only
feature
that
makes
your
site
worth
visiting............but
it
would
be
worthwhile
even
if
only
to
for
the
introduction
to
the
uniqlock
site!.....
really(not
that
I
wasn't
being
real!)---you
get
a
nice
combination
of
essence
and
narrative,of
atmosphere
and
kinetics.
And
all
without
academia/correctness/tourismism/moral
shepherding.
good
stuff.
There
is
nothing
that
is
not
better
straight
from
the
horse's
mouth.
Hope
you
keep
it
going,wherever
it
leads.
Thanks,........angus

If

Once

This
buds
for
you?
Hello,
I
have
been
in
Japan
for
sometime
now
and
find
it
rather
to
my
"taste."
When
I
first
got
here
I
did
not
drink
beer
unless
it
was
from
Germany
or
the
UK,
that
said
my
friend
introduced
me
to
the
fine
brews
in
Japan
such
as
Asahi,
Yebisu,
Kirin,
Orion
and
many
more.
I
actually
like
the
beer
over
here
and
think
it
is
rather
funny
that
my
friends
like
to
drink
american
imports.
My
question
for
you
however
is
why
do
you
drink budweiser?
sincerely
the
guy
who
does
not
like
american
beer
=)
Understood...I'll
address
this
on
the
site.
You're
not
the
first
guy
to
wonder
what
the
hell
is
wrong
with
me
about
this
Bud
business.
But
consider
it
a
sort
of
performance
art
piece.

Hi,

I

If

I
will
gladly
post
one

You
spoilt
my
holiday
:
)
Hi
Japandemic!
You
spoilt
my
holiday!
I
just
got
back
from
10
days
in
Japan
(using
your
website
as
a
guidebook)
and
spent
5
days
in
Kyoto.
The
whole
time
I
was
there
I
was
checking
out
every
Gaijin
trying
to
work
out
if
that
was
you!
And
as
you
know
when
Gaijin
spy
each
other
in
Japan,
they
usually
look
at
each
other
in
mute
acknowledgement,
but
they
never
quite
seem
to
take
the
next
step
of
actually
communicating.
I
used
the
photoshopped
pictures
on
your
site
to
composote
a
picture
of
what
I
think
you
look
like,
but
I
don't
think
I
saw
you.
Hey
I
like
page
19...I
saw
those
exact
ads
only
yesterday!
But
you
have
a
way
of
making
them
interesting.
And
I
don't
think
it
right
that
you
ever
identify
yourself.
That
would
just
spoil
it
for
me!
Keep
up
the
good
work!
And
I
want
a
T-shirt!
Wordman
Probably
spoil
it
for
me,
too.

Greetings
and
small
request
Hi,
I
justed
saw
your
page
on
a
google
ad
link.
I
think
it's
really
funny
and
nice
to
read.
Could
I
ask
you
to
also
put
some
suggestions
on
where
to
go
in
Tokyo
to
meet
locals?
I
have
some
of
this
on
the
lonely
planet
guide
but
I
would
prefer
to
have
your
opinion
on
that
one.
Cheers,
Mauricio

Entertaining
site
you've
got
I'm
in
Japan
on
business
and
just
stumbled
on
your
site.
Hilarious!
Been
dealing
with
Japan
for
over
30
years.
Got
my
own
blog
but
it
can't
touch
yours
in
the
"entertainment"
department.
While
I
try
to
keep
things
light
(most
of
the
time),
I
touch
on
more
serious
issues,
mostly
related
to
business.
If
the
spirit
moves
you
check
out
the
"Intercultural
Twilight
Zone".
Your
site
made
me
laugh
several
times
in
a
matter
of
minutes.
Therefore,
you
have
earned
a
hallowed
spot
on
my
blogroll...just
don't
expect
a
big
increase
in
hits.
Keep
up
the
good
work!

Fan
mail
and
tattoo
observation
Dear
Japandemic,
Really
enjoy
the
site.
Japanese
religion
and
art
are
two
of
my
favorite
subjects;
the
tattoo
on
the
woman
on
page
17
looks
more
like
an
Apsaras-
a
kind
of
celestial
maiden/dancer/music
maker,
and
not
an
Avalokitesvara.
Keep
up
the
good
work,
NH

Nice
to
see
you
back
on
the
jdemic
site.Flickr
is
o.k.
but
imho
lacks
the
hara
bandwidth
for
your
wider
ranging
talents
and
commentaries.
Would
still
be
cool
to
set
up
some
sort
of
jdemic
'board'
or
something.

Its
Japandemic!!
No
its
EPICS!!
^_^
Big
fan
of
the
site
man,
keep
up
the
good
work.
Us
Japan
loving
Americans
can
use
some
down
to
earth
insight
on
Japan
:)
its
not
all
Anime/Manga
and
Kawaii
is
it?
hehe.
growing
up
i
always
had
a
thing
for
the
Japanese
culture,
but
i
gotta
say
that
your
site
kinda
brought
out
the
love.
lol
well
that
can
be
taken
wrong.....
anywho,
since
finding
your
site
i
have
researched
the
hell
out
of
life
in
Japan
and
ways
of
moving
there.
I
wanna
take
my
family
name
to
Japan
and
start
a
whole
line
of
6foot+
Armenian/American/Japanese
mini
me's!!!
scary....
I'm
thinking
of
(drum
roll)....
teaching
English
in
Japan...
original
rite!!!
lol
its
not
exactly
a
subject
i
love
but
i
have
a
mind
like
a
sponge
and
i
can
learn
to
do
just
about
anything.
Good
bloodlines
i
guess??
*shrug*
idk,
but
i'm
thankful.
If
you
would
be
willing
i
have
questions
about
day
to
day
life
there,
and
how
a
person
like
me
would
fit.
Of
course,
i
know
your
a
busy
individual
and
get
a
lot
of
"love
mail"
to
read,
and
it
could
be
a
lengthy
email
chain
:P
but
it'd
be
awfully
cool
if
u
could
help
me
out.
Again,
keep
up
the
good
work
and
thanks
from
Japanese
deprived
Tennessee
haha.
Kudos
and
much
respect

Wow,
Cool
site.
Sweet/sad/sexy
pics
with
"mono
no

echos
here
and
there.
I
taught
"Technical/business
English
and
cultural
awareness"
for
IES
clients
in
and
around
Tokyo
&
Yokohama
a
couple
of
years
back.
I
miss
Japan
very
much.
Some
of
your

remind
me
of
the
whole
not
always
pleasant
but
always
interesting
honne/tatemae
and
uchi/soto
dancing
necessary
to
live
there.
Heck,
I
even
miss

there's

Love
Mail
I
love
the
site,
ended
up
sitting
up
till
round
4am
reading
all
of
it.
Here`s
hoping
my
life
in
Japan
is
as
fun
as
this
blog
makes
it
out
to
be,
first
months
been
fun
(minus
getting
a
bit
too
pissed,
if
thats
possible,
and
having
to
travel
back
home
covered
in
my
own
vomit).
P.S
Mimi
sent
me,
so
y`know
give
her
some
chocolates
or
something.

I
like
your
site
Hello,
thanks
for
the
interesting
blog
showing
real
Japan.
I've
lived
here
a
total
of
about
9
1/2
years
now
('91-'98
and
Dec
06
until
now),
and
like
your
observations
and
photos.

Hi,
I
came
to
your
website
via
japanzonefriends.
I
am
a
Japanophile
and
want
to
live,
move
and
work
in
Japan.
Of
course,
I
want
to
teach
English
which
happens
not
to
be
my
native
tongue
which
gives
me
an
advantage
over
other
applicants.
Is
it
true
that
NOVA
went
under?
If
so,
then
thousands
of
ALT's
are
roaming
the
country
side
which doesn't
give
us
newbies
a
chance.
I
won't
give
up
though.....
I
am
German
and
proud
of
it
even
though
my
passport
says
American.
I
found
your
website
very
positive
as
compared
to
other
Americans
who
do
nothing
but
whine
about
living
in
Japan.
If
they
don't
like
it
they
can
leave!!!
Mataku.!!!
I
think
when
you
are
in
Rome
do
as the
Romans
do.
As
for
my
part,
I
will
fit
in
and
find
the
man
of
my
dreams
in
Japan.
Maybe
I
write
a
book
about
it.
Thanks
for
keeping
up
the
good
work.

Hey
there,
I
love
your
site!
I
wrote
you
before
about
it,
and
I
realize
you
don't
have
time
to
write
back.
That's
fine.
Just
keep
the
great
photos
and
insights
coming.
One
thing
though
that
would
really
improve
the
site
is
for
the
index
page
to
be
the
newest
content.
Although
I
enjoy
going
back
and
rereading
older
pages,
the
first
thing
I
look
for
is
the
newest
content,
and
there
is
no
good
way
of
doing
that
if
the
"front
page"
keeps
changing.
By
using
your
index
page
for
your
latest
content,
I
can
bookmark
http://www.japandemic.com
and
get
to
your
latest
content
easily.
Further,
recent
browsers
will
track
changes
on
a
page,
but
you
need
a
fixed
address
to
do
so.
In
Safari
for
example,
frequently
accessed
pages
show
up
in
your
window
by
default
and
are
indicated
by
a
small
icon
when
changes
are
made.
So
keeping
up
on
the
latest
content
at
Japandemic
would
be
really
easy,
if
you
have
a
static
naming
convention
utilizing
the
index
page
for
your
latest
content.
I
hope
you
don't
mind
my
recommendation.
Not
only
am
I
an
avid
reader
of
your
site,
but
I'm
also
a
web
developer,
so
I
think
about
such
things.
Keep
up
the
good
work.
Your
site
is
nourishing
me,
until
I
can
one
day
move
to
Japan.
お疲れさま
e
v
e
Thanks.
I
remember
your
first
mail...want
to
get
back
to
you.
Been
thinking
to
"level
up"
the
coding
side
of
things.
Some
kind
of
comments
ability
or
forum.
I
know
people
land
on
Page
1
Word
1
every
time--whereas
on
a
WordPress
/Perez
Hilton
/
HuffPost
site
you
get
the
newest
and
scandalest;
I
view
this
like
a
book,
and
you
pick
the
book
back
up
and
open
to
your
last
page
and
keep
on.
You
may
not
be
able
to
tell
(but
maybe
you
can)
I
am
no
code
monkey.
The
current
format
and
layout
represents
my
computer
savvy
stretched
to
its
limit.
At
the
moment,
I
am
not
sure
how
to
bring
about
any
of
these
changes.
But
here's
to
Web
3.0!
