Thank you for your comment Aislinger.

As for the English written blog on JP blog, targeted to the Japanese interested in western culture, I'm afraid we (Japanese) want to read the content in Japanese. I can imagine there are many Japanese people interested in western culture, but then they will like to read the blogs written in Japanese. Also there are many Japanese people living abroad and write a blog to tell us the life there.

But I know there are some people who run JP blog in English so you may give it a try with a help from your JP friend or something and see how things go on.

First of all, i thank you, Kirin, for running this blog, i'm new here and i just read a few entries, but i came to undestand that to japaneses this you are doing is not as easy as it is for us, and i know it's hard to explain your own culture to someone so different in mentality as we are, so thank you for your effort *bow*

i wanted to comment because reading this precise blog had me struck by an idea, and i wanted to hear your opinion on it, if possible:
i do not have enough written japanese skills to run a blog on my own on a japanese domain, but i probably have enough to make the interface works, or i might be able with some external help, so the idea is, what do you think of an english written blog on a japanese domain? i though it might just be interesting enough to japaneses interested in western cultures, and close enough to run into it by chance, being in a japanese blogging site
what do you think of it?

i thank you again for this blog, and for any opinion you might express^^

さよなら!

I'll think of how I can explain the way to blog with Ameba. I'm thinking of making a tutorial video but I'm not sure how soon I can make it. Let me see…

i just discovered your blog today and im really thankful! your blog is very informative, and it really answers my question! about the blogs, I think times has changed because i see japanese bloggers showing their faces specially the lolita and gyaru bloggers and I want to eject myself into the japanese blogging community, i signed up an account on AMEBA months ago but still can’t figure out how to blog there. do you have a guide or could you help me out with that, if you dont mind?

it is easy to setup blogs on Blogspot but WordPress is one hell of a lot better*:’

Thank you for your comment. Yes, in fact I had to overcome so many obstacles and difficulties. Still I read English slowly, need dictionary, and I have to spend extra hours to keep this blog. But I believe this blog makes me happy.

Thank you for your visit to my blog and oh, my English…(^ ^) although I still continue minor mistakes…haha!
It'd be so hard you are tired from work and from the language you are not familiar with…
Please take care of yourself, there are many strange (sometimes unspoken) rules in Japanese society that confuse foreigners. It's very stressful to work in Japan, it's far from laid back atmosphere at the many working places. Not many Japanese people in general can speak or understand English well, but they will try to listen to you when you need them.
(I'm Japanese but I once went to a US college for 1 year and that experience made it possible for me to use English like this.)
