Have you ever been to Japan?

can't believe I've answered the poll months ago but never left a message... Yes, once. Last year in July, for two weeks. Alone, and I never felt lonely (well, maybe sometimes when eating alone in my room watching amazing TV shows, like SMAP TV show (though I didn't really know who was SMAP at the time)). I went to Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima and Miyajima, and of course Tokyo. One week in Tokyo was not enough, so i'm planning to visit again next year. The best journey so far, and i'm jealous of the young students who can go there for their studies...

Ok I just voted I live there because today, as I voted, I was in an Internet Cafe in Kyoto. But I actually don`t live there
One interresting thing that happened : I saw a drama shooting !!!
I met many staff member and even the director. The name of the 2 episodes special (like a 5hours long movie) in ONNA NOBUNAGA, the story of a famous Samourai woman staring Amami Yuki .
the director is Takeuchi Hideki who directed many movies and drama such as Kamisamsa Mou sukoshi dake,Nodame Cantabile, FirstKiss, Densha Otoko or more recently Zenkai Girl. The reason why Hideki-san talked to me (and OMG also allowed me to sit beside him during the last 2 hours of that shooting day) was because 1/he saw that I was very curious ( I stayed and watch the shooting from 10AM to 5PM outside by 37 degree C and talked to a manager, an assistant cameraman, the chief lightman - who later actually taught me how to use my camera properly - the assistant director....) 2/I told him that I was in an acting school and that I helped in a school movie as a script girl so he said "want to meet my script girl? She`s sitting right there! Come with me" 3/ He enjoyed the fact that a french girl watched and liked Nodame, especially because the movie`s shooting was partly in France!
At first, when I talked to him,I had NO IDEA he was the director. I just went on with how interresting it was etc. and after a while he said "you know who I am?".....errr no....."I m the director here" and at this moment, I think my eyes went crazy!

So this special will air in December ! Can`t wait

Wow, Juniko! That is so cool!

Wow Juniko !!! Lucky !!! I went to Japan for three weeks in september, last year. I had two concerts there, one in Iga, the ninja lair, and another in Nara. I got to visit some amazing places. Onsen of course were one of te best things I experienced there. In Nara, I went to the temple you see in many mangas, with all the deers running freely around. It was so beautiful. I visited a ninja house in which all the tricks were explained. Pretty far from Naruto of course but still very interesting :D. I was staying at my pianist family house in the countryside, in the prefecture of Mie. It was an traditional wood house with a beautiful garden, and the bathroom was also traditional ofuru. Her parents had moved a lot through Japan so they made us taste many regional specialities, I especially remember Okonomiyaki, so goooooood. I hope I can go back soon because I really miss living there.

I know !! I just so loved the sauce <333

Don't tell me... I'm getting hungry <3

Nope they didn't !
