In case anyone is keeping track (because of upcoming trips to Japan), the dollar-yen rate plunged to below 90 yen because of the failed auto bailout.
Yo homie, been a while! Hope you're doing good.
Anyway, back on topic.
America's economy is drilling in my brain on what I should do, so here it goes........
Aho is not making it in America (as good as he would like to) so another alternative comes into mind.....
*holy music singing across the land*
JAPAN!
Aho WILL be moving to Japan next year. Anyone from here (America) coming to Japan will have to hit me up! I'll be in Ashiya (Kansai) ie: Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto area.

^ Hehe... yeah, it's getting expensive. Luckily for us, we have income generating property in Japan. So, we use native Yen without having to convert USD's.
But you know... I'd maintain that even at 61 Yen per US Dollar it'd still be a good deal to go. Because the shipping on the merchandise from Japan to the USA is about as much as the items themselves. In a sense, $800 will get you $1600 worth of Idol merchandise if purchased in Japan instead of mail ordering.
The fans in the USA would sort of take it in the shorts regarding concert tickets though. But even then, seeing AKB48, Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, or C-ute live is worth at least $300 per show.
You still don't like Morning Musume, the other Hello! Project groups, or AKB48? Granted, some of the members are young. But that's the idea. We want to see Princesses. Once the members are over 22 years old, the "Princess" quality sort of diminishes.
Anyway, Morning Musume hasn't added a new member of almost 2 years now. They are getting older. Sayumi is 19, Reina is 19, can you believe Eri will be 20 in a few days? Ai, Risa, and JunJun are already over 20.
