I think he needs to scale them down to even share them.

However, if you have any good pix, *wink*, share them with me at full resolution.

yeah, i'll try, it'll be better if i can figure out how to scale'm down and post, got tons of pix, including one of your ryoko i saw at one of the train stations. I love their huge advertisments of j-idols!

There's a program out there that can resize pix in batch mode. Give it a folder, and it can resize all the pix to the resolution you want. I forgot the name of it, though.

i took some pix advertisments(they were poster sized ones from window shops), not very clear though since they were thru a window. They had lots on Yu Yumada, Yukie Nakama, Aya-chan, lots of Yada Akiko(JAL airlines ad's), and others, forgot how many i took, will have to sort thru them, some very clear, some not....
as far as the res. is, i will have to figure out somehow, how to scale'm down and post, give me some time. think i am going to log off and get some more rest soon, jet-lagged.

No problem. But, shouldn't you be wide awake since it's 2pm Japan time? I know when I returned from Asia, one time I stayed up all night. But then again, I did end up sleeping for 20 straight hours once I fell asleep.

Hey welcome back!

lets seem those fresh pictures from Japan

yeah, well i did manage to sneak in a three hour nap in the afternoon, and now it is late night, and i am probably going to turn in for the night soon. Still jet-lagged, usually takes longer coming back from asia. Japan was great!, got over 500 pix, probably need to scale'm down before posting them.

btw: i have a question about Japanese Idol Photobooks?? I have tried to search for Chinatsu Wakatsuki and Takako Uehara on Amazon.com & www.yesasia.com & www.jlist.com and various search engines, without any luck. Any suggestions on where to order j-idol photobooks? thanks.
I am kicking myself after not getting it in Japan, well, i had other j-idols i bought as well. But for some reason, Kinokuniya in Shinjuku(the older branch- they have a new one as well in shinjuku, i went there last time in tokyo.) anyways, for some reason they didn't have any Chinatsu, and i didn't buy it when i had the chance to at Book First - bookstore.

still adjusting, and getting over the jetlag, but s/b over soon.
now i have dealing with my japan-trip withdrawal, s/b last a long time, but looking at my japan trip pix/video and my Ai Otsuka poster should help some.

hey subawaruWrx, are you ready for your upcoming trip? any ?'s or comments, s/b ready for it eh?
got tons of yu yamada stuff there, adverstisements etc....

BTW: my friend is so into "Takako Uehara", know any good websites or other info on her??? We already looked at her official website, and there seems that there is no forum thread on Takako, just wondering...

Does anyone know if you can get in trouble if you take ur burned dvd'swith drama over the border? Ofcourse I got some drama and I'd like to take them to Japan when I go there this summer. But i'm a bit afraid they will fine me or take my dvd's

Once I heared a story of a man who was a big Formula 1 fan, and he bought a fake F1 racing suit on his holiday trip (don'tknow what country), at the border he was fined several 100$ and couldn't keep is his beautiful suit.

I don't think you'll get in trouble. Just tell them that they're CD's.

thanks for the info, didn't really noticed the thread on her here. I guess it has been inactive since Oct. '04. Time to revive her thread.

Yeah Yu Yamada is so so hot, and very popular there!, sorry didn't get a chance to scan much stuff on her, i was too focused on all my top j-idols, mainly Nana and Chinatsu, and others.

yeah go with your cousin, going with a friend would be nice, i went with my good friend. but next time i go to japan, i would'nt mind going alone, and staying three weeks or so traveling around japan.
when are you thinking of going? airfares will be going up as the peak season hits, and the temp's will rise a bit. It was p/c to overcast, and in the 60's-70's with moderate humidity. It did rain some there in japan, but not too much.
