:o You can write in Japanese?! That is awesome! XD I wish I could just for a few minutes because I really want to contact a studio to ask if they do pesonal deliveries for anime. XP Anyway, sorry for the recurrent visits. I don't know if it weirds you out, but I apologize. Lol. Oh, yeah. The reason I was has was to thank you for taking your time to rewatch the episode just to explain to me. I didn't think you would do that! XD You seem to be very much interested into anime...do you happen to have any suggestions on any anime that involves magic, the supernatural and stuff?

Such as:
Tactics
Naruto
Card Captors
Tsubasa Chronicles
Maburaho
Natsume Yujin Cho
Gakuen Alice
Fruits Basket
Ghost Hunt

Anything with those flashy kind of stuff, really. XD Thanks again, and sorry for having to make you answer on my blog. -.-" It's just that I don't have the name of your blog memorized and I don't even blog anymore as you can tell. XD Anyway, Arigatou gozaimasu (sp?).

Rental Magica was a great anime! I stopped watching FMA for some reason. And how did you manage to pick up Japanese?! Haha. Well, i've been watching anime for about 3 years now (I think)...I started in grade 9 and i'm now going into grade 12. So about 3 years. But I remember watching Sailor Moon back when I was small...XD But I don't think that counts. Haha. I've been searching for a good anime to watch. Some look very old and boring. -.-" Anime sure has evoled quite a lot. Thanks for the recommendations!

I figured your blog was in German because whenever I comment, it's in a different language so I just kind of (but not really) have to go on a limb when commenting. :p

As for Ghost Hunt...it was an AWESOME anime! :P I am into supernatural and magic anime. Those are the kinds that captivate me. Hehe. I recently finished an anime called "H20: Footprints In The Sand" it was such a great anime, though there was no magic. But I still loved it.

I'm going to start getting into the manga. I've ordered my first manga about two days ago! It was a Tactics manga. XP

There's some anime that I want to order, but they're either expensive or not sold in a local store. -.-" Most unfortunate. >_>

I'm impressed by how you managed to pick up the Japanese language. It also seems like you learned how to write it also by the looks of your blog. XP I wish I could understand Japanese. It's kind of a pain in the neck having to wait for RAWS to be SUBBED. I started an anime called "07 Ghost", GREAT ANIME. I caught up to the 13 episodes in about two days. XP The 14th episode came out yesterday. Unfortunately, it's not subbed. It was RAW. It sucks having to wait for it to be subbed. XP

I also saw that you like the works of Studio Ghibli. Isn't it awesome?! My favourites are Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle. OH YEAH! Also Kiki's Delivery Service. Those are my favourites. But I also kind of liked Castle In The Sky.

Anyway, sorry for the long response. XD

I am impressed. I really want to pick up a third language...I hope it's not too late for me. I tried to pick up Italian and French...haha. I was doing fine until I stopped for a bit and never tried again. >_> I can compose my own French sentences on the spot, but I wouldn't say i'm fluent in it what with having to know past tense, future tense, present tense and all. >_> Also, the lack of resources. But I guess I should start again. Lol. I think I should try learning French again because that is one of the official languages of my country (Canada). Oh, yeah! I am part Chinese! XD

I will try your suggestion. Since you highly praise it, i'll definitely take a look at it!

-.-" 3 years of listening and watching anime and I still haven't picked up more than one or two phrases in Japanese. Maybe it's because i've only been watching Naruto whenever it comes out which is Thursdays. That was basically the only anime I was watching on a regular basis during the school year. But whenever I find an anime I like, I watch the anime until I catch up to the latest episode or finish the whole series if it's already done. I did that a few times during the school year. I've also been very busy. Thinking about it, I guess I wasn't immersed that much in the Japanese language because the first two years (I think) was just all on Naruto and that was watched in one whole chunk. I started expanding last year, so maybe i'll eventually understand Japanese. I wish I understood the Japanese language. >_> 3 years! >_> Or maybe it's because i'm busy processing the words when reading subs...thanks for the tips by the way. I already knew that, but you make me want to try learning a new language again!

I'm wondering if I should start watching raws...but I wouldn't understand it and I don't see how I would learn from it...lol. When I was trying to learn Italian, I even tried watching kids shows like Dora the Explorer in Italian. LOL. LIKE, but not. Unfortunately, they did not have Italian Dora...if they did, then I would have watched it. XP I definitely agree when you say that picking up grammar is a completely different thing.

I suggest you watch 07 Ghost soon! XP I caught up in two days. Hehe. I didn't think I would find another good anime that I would follow. I just hope it doesn't stop at about 20 episodes. Why do the good ones have to finish so early?! :(

There's a Studio Ghibli museum?! What's in it? I want to get the DVDs for the movies I mentioned made by them! I don't know if it's at one of my electronics store, but I looked online just incase. They cost $30+ dollars on Amazon. Unbelievable yet believable because they are good afterall. Haha.

I tried Princess Mononoke but I forget why I stopped a bit of the way through...maybe i'll try it again.

I remember also when I visited your blog, the word "piano" and "singing" caught my eye. XD YAY FOR PIANO AND SINGING! I take piano lessons and I sing. But I wish I took singing lessons. :( But lessons are expensive. I really want to improve my singing. I feel that there's always room to improve in any art. Maybe in everything other than art too. XD But music is fun!
XD

Thanks for the suggestion. :D I agree with how the voice is a different instrument, also unique. I've been playing piano for about 2years, going to become 3 years. I love the piano and singing. XD I'm kind of trying to learn guitar on my own too. Hehe. I always said I wanted to learn guitar. Now here I am with a guitar which is kind of tedious to learn. Do you take voice lessons? For me to take voice lessons, it would double the expenses of music lessons because voice and piano lessons are about the same price. >_> Hehe. I don't know if you're going to university or went to university, but are you planning to take music in university?

Speaking of music, you're from Germany right? And didn't many influential composers come from there? So does that mean you have really good music programs? XD Speaking of countries (Lol, i'm starting to branch off here), I want to go to Italy! It's where the piano originated and I think singing too. :) Wasn't Bel Canto the first developed "way" of singing or something like that? I want to go to Europe! XD Anywhere in Europe is fine!

I do pop singing. I don't really sing musicals, but I like musicals! It's never too late to start singing other things. XD You would probably do real well. I was told that whatever you learn in classical voice training, you can apply to any other singing because singing constitutes of breath support, diction and the other things just like classical. I don't know much techniques, unfortunately. Having a bad choir teacher in grade 10 didn't help too much and having a teacher with a minor in music in grade 11 didn't help too much either, although it got me started. I want to learn more techniques and develop even more... somehow.

Unfortunately, I do not have Live Journal. :( Sorry. XD Your trip to Studio Ghibli sounds fun. It's not everyday you get to travel, either. I wish I could see what's inside Studio Ghibli. I'll definitely save up to get the movies, though! I want to travel to Japan! XD I wonder if Canadian money is worth a lot there...it'll be like a shopping spree for anime if it is! :p

Over here, it's different. XP But it's still quite expensive and many people can't afford it or their parents just say it's too expensive, because it is. XP Generally for my city, the prices of everything is just about the same. I don't know any famous teachers anyone can go to lessons with, per se (because my city is a major city, but not a city that emphasizes too much on the arts like Toronto, I personally think anyway. I mean, there's barely any agents! The only one i've seen is a modelling agency!). But I think the teacher I have at the music school I go to is pretty good. Conservatory, so it's called.

May I ask what you work as related to music? You say you work in the professional stage, and i'm curious. XP But it's okay if it's not okay to ask. Lol.

I'd definitely want to see Italy for more than the musical history. I also want to see it for it's other artistic history. Also, it also has a history of religion. Lots of history going on there. I'm not one who always follows fashion, but I hear that the clothes make the person in Italy and Italy is like the fashion capital. So I want to see that. XP

Is the goal of classical singing really bel canto? I heard that when singing bel canto, it places an emphases on the flow/movement of words using legato, although i'm unsure on that. There's also other stuff that I read about bel canto, but I can't remember. I heard the voices of people on youtube who use Bel Canto, they sound really good! Pavarotti and such. If the schools frown on the use of chest voice...huh...don't we use chest voice when we speak anyway? Or is that for guys? Lol. I forget all the stuff I read. I'm a tenor, by the way. :p I did realize that most pop singers are altos. But you can be one of those popular sopranos like Mariah Carey! Or be a Celine Dion! :p

I don't have any plans to go to Tokyo anytime soon. Lol. I see it WAY far into the future. I still have university to go to and pay for. After that, i'll have student loans to repay. XP You didn't enjoy wandering around aimlessly around Japan? Lol. Well, I don't know if I would too. :o Lucky!!!! Getting to go to Tokyo once a year?! That's already a big part of the loot! Lol. But I guess it's cheaper because you're already in Asian and you're closer? If the merchandise and everything else will be merciless on our wallets...well then...i'd best be prepared and save up now if I want to buy a lot of souvenirs by the time I get there! LOL.
