Well, that shows you are very professional. I think I'd be tempted though, after a an appropriate amount of t ime has passed...:piripi:

Did you get to sample Soapland Girl "Arisu"? :pandalaugh:

Wise words "guy", I agree 100%. If a Japanese girl dates a foreigner it speaks more about her individual character, it has nothing really to do with her being Japanese.

I did qualify in my orginal comment that I was referring to J-Pop. ;-) I would not be sad if J-Pop never again entered my ears. Living here though, it's quite hard to avoid it. I have been trying for almost 20 years though! I know most of what you refer to above and I like some of those to...

Actually I'm not. With a CD collection approaching 30,000 discs, I am what I think most people would consider a serious music collector and listener. My taste covers new and classic rock and pop to classic and modern jazz, classical composers and even the avant garde. I recognise what you are...

Yes, young people are not racist at all in my experience. Chinese lame? I think the Japanese that express that opinion are simply jealous of the current strength of China.

I could be up for that!

As a caucasian it's very difficult for me to answer this but I've found differing opinions among Chinese people who live here. One Taiwanese lady I know loves living in Tokyo and takes any racism as a necessary part of being a foreigner. Others seems to not share this approach and thus...

Thanks! Sorry for stating the obvious! Anyway I know if I didn't live here I'd really appreciate the shots as a collection of the real Tokyo. ;-)

Must there be a reason? Such photos are probably only amusing to those that don't live here...

Japanese music has never appealed to me, especially J-Pop. It is derivative, copyist and sometimes downright plagiarism of western music. I've not found anything of artistic merit, it is all aimed at selling an image, not musical integrity. Some of the cute girls and boys that "sing" are...

The conditions on the deduction from the deposit is something you need to have written into the contract BEFORE you move in. Any agent worth his licence will know how to do that. The owner won't like it but they will eventually agree in what is now a city with low occupancy on rental properties...

When I rented my place in Shiroganedai it was brand new, 108 square meters and I paid no key money. Many friends in the same general location have also negotiated no key money. Deposit is 2 months rent but that is refundable if there is no damage above accepted wear and tear.

Only places that have relatively cheap rent or are not in central Tokyo charge key money these days. The key is to negotiate. It's a renter's market right now. Go to an agent that will introduce places that have potential to negotiate no key money. I negotiated for no key money and only two...

It's けいたい（携帯）, not けいてい！　Hahahaha!

That's not Miku Tanaka... Not even close...:joker:
