I am Japanese, born/raised in Hawaii, married a Scotsman and now live in Glasgow. I love where I am now and people are usually very surpised to hear that I left Hawaii for Scotland.
I grew up watching Japanese programs on Kiku TV and continued to do so until I moved off the island. I found this site by accident (or fate?) and am so happy to be able to keep up with the J-Dramas once more and stay connected to my culture.
I love the current Japanese chick-flicks - sad love dramas like 1 Litre of Tears, old Japanese movies from the 1950's to 1970's, Hard-Gay (Fooo!), Japanese ghost tales, history, and Shiba Inu (the cutest dogs I have ever seen!).
