Today I got to class to find everyone standing inside, buying tickets and t-shirts, etc, while the Pop Class finished dancing to United, which is our Ending song. (I bought tickets for all the ryugakusei and the teachers from the Ryugakuseika, who had all given me money)
Then after the Pop Kids left, Anna-san helped uchi no okaasan with tickets and whatnot, so exercizes were led by Namio-kun, flanked on either side by Yuuta and Atsushi. It was kind of strange to have someone other than Anna-san lead the exercises but on the other hand it was interesting, because the Boys all had their own style. Yuuta-kun (who was wearing a black t-shirt, and black windpants with one leg pushed up) looked very girly from the back, in a hot Uke! way. I have decided that he is definately the uke, because he can be really pretty at times.
After exercises were over, Anna-san came and said that today we would work on the details of the dances. First she said we would figure out the positions for 'Hubu'. She blinked. 'Er....House of Love' She corrected, laughing and looking a bit embarresed. I was talking to one of the women who had come to the special practice session on Wed, and she was thanking me for coming to it. Meanwhile Anna-san was placing people in their places. As I was attempting to remember/translate the lyrics to Run DMC, Anna-san appeared and took me by the wrist over to my place, which is on the right side, second row. She stood there holding my wrist for a few moments, which I savored, before moving to put the next person in their position. So we figured out the positions for both the parts when the whole class is dances, and when we dance in groups. Namio yelled 'House of Love!' Then he pointed to Yuuta, who was sitting down on the floor, and yelled 'House!'. I completely cracked up at that. (Because 'House' is the command you give to a dog to get it to go into its crate). Anna-san (and Namio) cracked up at me cracking up, and Namio said gleefully 'Even gaijin think I'm funny!' Then through the entire first half of class, whenever I looked at Yuuta, I started cracking up. Because he actually is very dog like. Then we ran through the dance. Then Anna-san said that she wanted to add something. There would be, she announced, another solo part! The solo part would be performed by....she looked around to all of us, smiling. 'Tama-chan and Shuu-chan!' (Tama-chan and Shuu-chan are little kids, I think they're about 5 and 6) She explained how they would have a solo part together before Kurata-san's solo. Shuu-chan, seemed nervous, but Anna-san gave him an example of something they could do together, and explained that they could do anything, and th eaudiance would all go 'Kawa~i!!' (Which she said clasping her hands and scruncing up her face in a dreamy look. I cracked up. Everyone looked at me, some people laughing. Anna-san said, 'It:s just because the reactions are different [than in America]' LOL) Then we did the dance from the top again, to practice that part. Then, after our two minute break, (me still laughing about the House!Yuuta thing), Anna-san beckoned for us to sit down, saying she would explain about the concept of Seigi no Mikata again. Seigi no Mikata, she told us, In case we hadn't noticed, is a comedy. This means we have to overreaction in it to make the audiance understand that it's supposed to be funny, because otherwise, they won:t know whether it's ok to be laughing, or not. The story of Seigi no Mikata, she explained, is that the people that work the most, and try the hardest lose. (son-suru). I didn't know what Son-suru meant, so I had to raise my hand and ask. To my suprise, she didn't tell me the word in English, but explained it to me in Japanese. Then Namio piped up 'Unlucky!' (in English). Anna-san nodded. 'The people who try the hardest are the most unlucky, and so maybe they are the champion of Justice (seigi no mikata)'. Namio, giving the thumbs up sign. 'Unlucky!' Anna-san looked at him. 'You know, it's really hard to put in a sarcastic comment with you.' (I think she meant because he was being so serious about his one English word. LOL). She continued to explain that the father in the song tries so hard, and works so long, but he doesn't get paid a lot,and is hen-pecked by the mother, etc, so the song says that maybe he is the true champion of Justice. (Namio, in English again. 'Justice!!')
Anna-san said, 'I don't think you guys can see what Namio and I are doing. I am doing my best using my body.' (Watakushi wa karada wo hatte ganbatteorimasu.) So, even though it's embaressing, I'll show you what we're doing.'
So we got to watch Namio and Anna-san's parts of the whole song. I had seen what Namio was doing, but I'd never really seen what Anna-san did through the whole thing. It was definately a treat.
Or should I say, it was amazing. Anna-san is just amazing. What she does through the song is act it all out. For example during the 'I take all my textbooks home everyday', she mimed puting her books in her bag, and draging it, pulling really hard. (She is really good! Her stumbling and whatnow was so realistic. I guess that's what comes of being able to control your body/movements so well), another example during 'She told me I'm sorry. I'm totally crying, totally devestated' she crumpled to the floor, and had a 'tantrum', pounding the floor with her fists, etc. It was so funny!

It was amazing to watch her. She is so good, and she is every inch a performer. Watching her, I could almost see her back at 15, as an idol, or in the Super Monkey's. You just know that she's been in entertainment for 23 years. She is that good, that professional. I have no idea why she didn't ever make it in the entertainment world back when she wanted to. She's just so talented. And she just puts everything she has into it. And you can tell she enjoys it so much.
Namio is also very good. It was great to watch them. I wished I had a video camera.

After, she told us, 'Ok? that's the kind of mood that you're aiming for. Be really hyper.' Then she looked over to Namio. 'Read to go again, Namio?' He grinned. 'Let's go!'
So we all did the Seigi no Mikata dance together. After, she asked Yuuta and Atsushi how it was. Atsushi gave a thumbs up. 'Yeah!'
Then she drew us together to explain about the part about allowence, because apparently no one knows what to do then (although i do). She explained that we are supposed be upset that we only got 2000 yen. So she acted out that part, singing it. (yay!) Do you get it? She asked. 'Like this?' I did my upset, indignant '2000 yen!?' face. She laughed, and said 'That's perfect! Everyone watch A-chan.' I did it again. Anna-san said 'Everyone should be aiming for an A-chan reaction.'

At one point Yuuta said something really funny to Anna-san, provoking a laughing 'Shut up!' but I forget what it was. Oh, I think it was when she mentioned that she was 31, and would be 32 this year. Yuuta clapped. Anna-san: 'It's not something to clap about!'

Then we did Run DMC. Then class was over, and we cooled down. After class the Madam Team was practicing their group dance with Atsushi, Yuuta and Namio, as Anna-san (and most of the class) watched. It was very cute. One of the things I love is how Anna-san always has such a huge smile on her face when she watches people perform. It just makes you smile back when you catch her eye, and it makes the dancing even more fun.

Then I remembered that I had to ask about video taping the Live, so I went over and asked Anna-san when she was packing up the MD player. She said that there would be a video taken of it, and that also my friends could video tape it if they wanted.

In the locker room, somehow the conversation turned to Song Love wo Sagashite, Anna-san's idol debut song from 1986. I was suprised that a lot of people knew of it, and sung it at karaoke etc. People said that we should get her to sing it. I definately agree. I said that I had the CD, and they said we should play it during the lesson one time. Tomo-chan said, 'You should say, Anna-san, I want to do a group dance to this'. LOL Then we decided (?) that we should try to get her to sing it at the After Party for our Live. I hope we do LOL Although I think she would be really embaressed. Plus, that songs from 17 years ago, I doubt she rememeber it. Anyway, I'm going to make a tape of it and bring it to one of them members, who's never heard it. I just hope I remember which member I was talking to. (It was funny because just as we were talking about that, as we left the dressing room, Anna-san came in. So then we all laughed. (She didn't hear any of it though. It was just funny because we'd just been talking about her the whole time).

I think it's the same member I was talking to on the bus ride to the station. First we discussed how amazing Anna-san is, and how it's strangre she never made it in the Entertainment World, because she's such a good dancer, and has a good voice, and is funny and interesting. The woman thought that maybe it was because although she looked like she was having fun, she hadn't been the cutesy idol type that hd been popular in the 80'. She asked how I knew B.B, so I told her all abotu how I had first been a Namie fan, and then MAX, and how I had then gotten into Actor's and BB, and gone to sit in on a class. She explained that she and a bunch of the other members of Hyper (all the OL team members, I think) had been in a special dance group who had performed for the World Cup a few years ago, and Anna-san had come from Actor's as the instructor for it. Then after the group thing had ended, they had wanted to join Actors to be with Anna-san, because the Yokohama school had just openned, but at the time there had only been a Pro Class, for people who want to be professionals. So Anna-san had started the Hyper Class. (Which confirms what I thought before, Anna-san really did start the Hyper Class. It was all her idea.) So then they all joined, to follow Anna-san, but they hadn't been there long before Anna-san quit. So they were all really disappointed because they had joined because of Anna-san, but then Anna-san started Love Junx, so they switched to this. It was really interesting to hear that, because I hadn't known about any of it.
She asked who I had liked best in B.B, and I said Maiko-san. I explained how to me, Anna-san and Maiko-san had come to symbolize what Actor's stood for, and how shocked I had been when they had left. But she said that it was really a good thing, because now they are close by, so I get see them, and learn directly from them, and how I must be so happy. I agreed.

 

Yesterday Kinjo Erina, one of the first year girls from Okinawa came to have me help her with her English, and we talked a lot about colleges, and she told me how she had wanted to go to Fukuoka, but had lost the place to a really smart boy from her school, but she ended up being glad because a lot of her friends that went to Fukuoke cried every night and ended up going home to Okinawa. Then Kiwa came, and they both looked at pictures in my room. I told them about what had happened at Actor's and they were both shocked. Kiwa was most shocked that Maiko-san and Wakane-san had 'split up', because she said that they had been so close, and such good friends for such a long time, and had been going to debut together, etc. She said that that was the most shocking, scariest thing to her, that their friendship had cooled. (Kiwa seemed to really like Wakane-san, because she asked about her before). Erina's father is friend's with Atsushi's father, and she told me how his parents were really really against him dancing, and going to Actor's. She said that they told him to stop messing around with stupid pointless stuff like dance, etc. But eventually they told him to do whatever he wanted, and basically disowned him. She said he has an older sister who was in a band, and did really well at school too, but that Atsushi had stopped going to middle school a lot, and had never gone to high school. Kiwa asked if 'the small boy' Takeshi was still there. She said that she was friends with Takeshi when they were little, and he lives in her neighborhood. She told me about how he used to get teased a lot in school because he went to Actor's. She said that they were really close back then, and she called him 'Ta-bo'. She laughed really hard when I told her he changed his last name to Makino, saying 'It's so Kise!'. ('Kise desho?') They both said that they were really shocked about the Actor's thing, and Anna-san and Maiko-san quitting and all, and that they would need to tell their friend's, because no one knew.
I also learned that a lot of people have Okinawan last names. Kinjo is an Okinawan name, as is Kiwa's last name, Nagamura, and so are Atsushi (Taketomi) and Yuuta (Yamashiro) and Takeshi (Kise)'s last names.
I have decided that Okinawa must be really small (or everyone lives in Naha, which is the capital) because everyone seems to know everyone. II mean, not only does Erina know Atsushi and Kiwa know Takeshi, but Shinobu from Da Pump and Takako from SPEED went to their Junior High, and Kiwa lives in Li-chan's neighborhood. And the 2nd year Okinawan girl (who has the incredibly Okinawan name of Kina Mutsumi) went to the same high school (and knew) Yamada Yuu, ex BB WAVES front girl and current model. And then there was that girl from DPIS that lived next door to Reina's.

And cute little conversation tid bit from today.
Kinoko: Kyou ha 5ji ni Yokohama ni iku? (are you going to Yokohama at 5 today?)
Me: Un. (yep)
Kiwa: Ooh, Yokohama?
Me: Dance Lesson ga soko de yaru kara, Shin-Yokohama de. (That's where my dance lessons are)
Kiwa (nodding): Anna-san?
Me: Un!

 
Yesterday was the first class in a long time that everyone was there. (By everyone I mean Namio-kun, Yuuta-kun, Atsushi-kun and Maiko-san). I was late because I was a bit late to begin with, but then I forgot it was in the Box instead of the Sub-Arena, so I went to the Sub-Arena first to find it closed, and then went up to the Box, where I found everyone about 2/3 of the way thru exercises. I gave my money for the my next classes to the woman at the desk, who I think is the director or something, whom Anna-san called 'uchi no okaasan' (our mother), and she asked me to bring the name,address and age of the people I needed tickets for along with the money next time. Then I hurried into the exercises. At first I didn't see Maiko-san but it turned out she was behind me, because a lot of people turned and said 'Hisashiburi!' with big smiles. After we finished exercises, Anna-san said that today we would run through the entire Hyper part of the Live. But first she explained to the people who hadn't come on Friday the changed we had made in the Run DMC dance, and then we showed them. (This took a while because we all had to double check our positions, and the littlest kids needed help on the partner handshake part of the dance now that they had new positions, so Anna-san came over and taught them how to do the move in the opposite direction. It was cute to watch her teaching the kids.)
I am the last person in the second row, next to Tomoko-san for the beginning of the dance, and the guy who reminds me of Mickey-san from the Kansai BB webpage for the rest of the dance.
Then we did a run through of the Live.
"Mickey" began playing and everyone danced around on the sidelines, especially Anna-san. Then after the intro music was over, she ran on the to center of the floor and gave her opening MC. Then she introduced the Pop kids (Advanced, Girls and Boys, I think), and once again Maiko-san and the rest danced around in place of the Pop kids for now. Atsushi-kun did this flip, but he messed up and fell flat on his stomach. It looked rather painful, and Anna-san had this horrified 'Oh my god, are you ok!?' kind of look on her face. But Atsushi got up, smiling rather embaressedly, and then he and Namio-kun were laughing about it together after, so I guess the only thing hurt was his pride.
Then us Hyper Class were introduced, and we all came out and danced. Then we pushed back for Anna-san to introduce the members of ZinRye. 'Namio!' 'Atsushi!' 'Yuuta!' 'Maiko!'. Each member came out and danced. Then they turned to us and beckoned for us to come forward, and we all surged forward, dancing.
Then as the song ended we got into our places for Run DMC. Anna-san said, 'The first song is performed by the Hyper Class, RUN DMC!!' It was her real MC voice from my BB concert video,clear and carrying, with, to my delight, her Native English for the song titles. (This made me especially happy when we got to...'SYNCHRONIZED LOVE!' *grin* How I worship Anna-san and her English). After Run DMC was over we all went to the side, and Anna-san explained that she would be giving an explaination of what Hyper Class was. Then we went through all the Group dances, complete with MCs for them. Anna-san and Maiko0san were sitting in the front, watching, and I had just as much fun watching them as the actual dances. For example, when the little kids where doing their 'Mini Hamuzu' song, Anna-san (and Maiko-san, I think) was lip-syching to the song, with great expressions on her face to the lyrics. I would just like to reiterate that this is what I love about Anna-san especially, she gets to into the songs,and into character and everything. After all, the thing she told us is most important is 'having fun', and 'getting completely into character.' There was one part where she had a sad, wistful kind of expression, and it was quite sexy, actually, although I feel strange saying that when we was lipsynching to a song by Morning Musume (technically Mini Moni, which makes it even worse). During the Euro-beat zipady doo dah Yuuta-kun was break dancing on the sidelines which was quite amusing. During the Obasan (actually 'Madams') group dance, I noticed Anna-san was kind of doing the dance with them, from her crouching position. It made me realize that I'm pretty sure she's actually memorized most of the group dances to some extent, which is pretty impressive (although also makes sense for her as the intructor) because as far as I know the group dances were all choreographed by the groups themselves, not Anna-san. Then after the group dances, it was time for House of Love. This is when I realized (for the five millionth time) that I still don't know it! I know the steps now, but I realized I don't know where the come in the song. It was quite painful. I really have to practice, or I would not be suprised if I get cut from the song.... ^^;
Then we did Seigi no Mikata, which was fun because for the first time in a long time, we had Maiko-san and NAmio-kun (as Mama and Papa) there, along with Anna-san's Principal. I also noticed this time that Marilyn and the guy who does the solo dance in Run DMC (I think his name is Nakagawa or something) have little solo parts where they act out a bit of the song, for example, during the part when the lyrics talk about how the guy in the song gets dumped by the girl he likes, Anna-san pretends to give him a love letter, and hw refuses. It's very cute. It's gonna be a really fun song when we're all in costume.
After, we just had a review of the announcements from Friday's class, and then class was over.
Carolyn wants to come sit in on a class, and see everything I talk about, which makes me happy. (yay, I will make the whole world love Anna-san! And Hyper! And MAiko-san!) So I went over and told Anna-san that I had a friend who wanted to sit in on a class, but shoudl she come after the live was over. Anna-san smiled and said 'A, honto?' and said that if she wants to actually participate in the class she sits in on, she should come after the Live, because right now we're doing lessons that are different from the normal onces.
I went to get my change from uchi no okaasan, and was having trouble explaining to her that she'd said I could get my change after class since I didn't have a pocket, but at that moment Anna-san came over and understood what I was trying to say apparently, because she explained for me.
Maiko-san said 'A-chan, otsukare-sama! hisashiburin ne!' And I said 'Hisashiburi ne!' Then I went down to change. Maiko-san's hair is so black now. But I forgot how pretty she is, and she has a small face too. Er, petite features. Ooh, I hope she sings at our Live.
When I was changing, I looked up and happened to be looked at someone a beige bra. Then I realized that it was Anna-san. Before people call me perverted *cough* San *cough* I would like to state that I get so absorbed (?) at looking at the actual bra that I kind of forget to look at Anna-san, so I haven't actually seen her body that much. In other words, I could tell you what the bra looks like, but not what Anna-san-s, say, stomach, looks like. So I'm not leering at her lecherously or anything you guys might think. Today Anna-san had on a light blue sweater. She looks very nice in blue. I think people that have a tan skin tone tend to look nice in blue, because Namie always looks really good in blue.
Maiko-san was there, and said 'Ja ne, A-chan!' When I was about to go. I said Ja ne, and she said Hisashiburi ne! Again. I agreed. And then, having nothing else to do, I left, with a 'Otsukare-sama!' and to a chorus of 'Otsukare sama!'s and waves and smiles from everyone.
So I did not have any fun conversation with Maiko-san, nor a hug either this time. In general I don't like Sunday classes in the Box as much because they always seem a bit short and not as satisfying. I think it's partially because especially when we're in the box we tend to do a lot of rehearsal. Although I'm pretty sure that all classes will mostly be rehearsal from now on. I don't like the classes as much when we do only rehearsal and no Beat or Battling or anything like that, although having Anna-san et al there saves them a bit. I think it's because, as I realized the other day, during lessons like those, this class walks a fine line for me. Because it's the whole dance to choreography and get it right thing that I have to most complexes about still, partially because it doesn't come easy for me, and it is really hard and depressing when I can't get it right, and then I start feeling like I suck again, which is no fun. In some ways I will be glad when the Live is over, and we're doing regular classes again. Because for example, I had so much fun on Friday's lesson. But I'm glad that we're having the Live, I think it will be really important for me, and for the class and Love Junx as a whole.
We got the schedule for June, and Anna-san has been true to her word, and put in all of people's suggestions. On next month's schedule we have 3 or 4 group lessons with Pop Class, one hour long 'Meeting Time' for us Hyper students just to talk and get to know each other better, as well as on class of a new course, the 'Strength Training, Exercise' course, which is together with the Pop Class, which works on easy stregnth training and aerobics. (Which I need, because I'm so unflexible. LOL)
I'm really glad that Anna-san really listened and appreciated and took to heart everyone's suggestions, and made them a reality, but I also have some mixed feelings about it. I for one, am not really that interesting in having lessons with the Pop Class. I kind of feel like, yes, Pop and Hyper are very separate, but we're different classes, so that's fine. I wouldn't mind one lesson a month with them or something like that, but...
Because of course we couldn't add any extra classes, this means we have less only Hyper classes. And I'm afraid that 1) the classes with both will be really big, and 2) Anna-san et all will spend more focusing on the Pop kids (rightly so, because I know they require more of her attention and whatnot because not only do they have Down Syndrome, but a lot of them are quite young, but still....)
Although, on the other hand, the Pop Kids don't have any complexes about dancing, and expressing themselves, and are very open and free, so may be it will be fun, and open my mind to a lot of things.
Some shonen-ai-ish moments:
At one point Yuuta and Atsushi were doing a trust-fall kind of thing with each other which made my inner-slasher very happy. LOL Also at one point the Boys were chatting during one of the breaks, and Yuuta (who's hair is quite long now, I've noticed, almost to his chin). was lounging feyly on the ground. It was not quite lascivious but quite sexy. Also, apparently Yuuta-kun's okaasan was there, because I heard some of the older members gossiping (?) quietly about how she didn't even introduce herself, or say hello, and how maybe she'd unsure of her son's position in class, about whether Anna-san treats him as a regular student, or that he's an instructor. It was a bit confusing to me, because I walked in on the middle of the conversation.
Also, I may have Anna-san's home phone number. Because I was showing my Okaasan the schedule for June, and how Anna-san's added all the stuff in response to people's suggestions, and she noticed that the phone number given at the bottom is a Tokyo number. Looking at it closer, she said that is is a Setagaya-ku number. Now, Setagaya-ku is where Anna-san lives (which I know because it said so in a newpaper interview from back when she had just been demoted to the Yokohama Actor's). So I'm betting it's Anna-san's home number (or at least a separate line, connected to her house). Because the e-mail address seems to be her personal e-mail account, because it's anna(insert bunch of random letters and numbers here)@whereever the mail client is, and also, the senders name on all the e-mails I've gotten from her from it says 'Anna MAKINO', whereas back when I emailed her at Actor's, it was an official e-mail (actors@blahblah), and the sender was 'Okinawa Actor's School'. Of course, ironically (to everyone who thinks I'm a scary stalker), this will make me even less likely to ever call the Love Junx number, just in case it is her home number, in which case she would definately be the one to pick up the phone. I don't know. I make no sense. LOL
Random note about Caroline coming to sit in on a class. I'm very happy, because I've told her all about Anna-san and Love Junx and Actor's and everything, and as I stated before it is my goal to spread the love. LOL Also, I am not jealous that Anna-san will like her more than me possibly, because that's silly. (and if it sounds a bit like I am convincing myself of that, it must just be your imagination ;) ) The amusing thing is that one of the reason I'm most excited for Carolyn to come and sit in is, aside from the fact that I want her to see (or maybe participate in) Beat, and Battles, and all of that, is because....I'm almost positive I'll get to hear Anna-san's Native-Accent English! Which I absolutely crave. Then I got excited because Anna-san may introduce herself in English (Hi, I'm Anna Makino), which would be very cool, because then I could see if she says her name as Anna (the American pronounciation) in English, the way Yuki did. I have a suspicion that she might, because it goes along with the whole 'pronouncing English words in the English(American) way when speaking to English speaking people' thing that she has (see: HYPER CLASS ha) . Also, I realized that Anna-san has never actually introduced herself to me in person with her full name, unless it happened when she met me and my parents in person in Okinawa, and I am forgeting it. Of course she introduced herself in the first e-mail reply she wrote to me, but when I very first talked to her on the phone at Actor's, she 'introduced' herself when she took the phone as 'Makino' (E-mail de renraku shita Makino desu). By the same token, I have never actually been introduced to Maiko-san either - by e-mail or in person or anything else. LOL
Speaking of Maiko-san, here's some big news from Love Junx News Vol. 2!
Maiko-san, Atsushi-kun, Yuuta-kun and Namio-kun will debut as a group called 'ZinRye' (which apparently means flash lightening). Here's the note about it from the LJ New Vol 2.
The Love Junx Instructors will begin their activities as musical artists!
Maiko, Atushi, Yuuta, and Namio have formed a group and are currently making preparations for their debut! The groups name is ZINRYE! The four of them have faced themselves and are fighting seriously [with themselves] to draw out their very best sides in order to make their long-cherished dream come true! The [Entertainment World] is a tough one, but their will to live in it even if they have to make sacrifices is strong! I will be supporting their activities from the position of director, as per their request. The thing that made me the most happy was that the four of them told me they want to continue going to the Love Junx lessons even after they begin their activities as artists.
(I couldn't help thinking 'Well, of course she'd be happy, because it if they didn't, Anna-san would have no instructors anymore! LOL')
Anyway, it's very cool! I wonder what kind of group they will be. Maiko-san had better be the main singer. Even if the others just dance. Although I have heard Yuuta rap on my B.B video and he's very good. So maybe Maiko-san will sing, and he will rap, and Yuuta and Namio will dance....or something. I guess I'll find out a little bit at our Live, since ZinRye is having a tiny live at it as our special guest. I really really hope Maiko-san sings.
P.S I know that lately my Blog has been mostly about Hyper Class (read: Anna-san) and I hope no one is bored with it. LOL But I guess it's good that I'm too lazy to write about anything else, because it means that nothing bad is happening with the rest of my life. It's not very interesting either LOL Just going to classes, and coming back to the dorm, and hanging out in room, or talking with the other ryugakusei or other students, and going shopping, etc with people. So you will all just have to deal with my relative lack of subject variety until something interesting, or depressing happens, or I feel compelled to write a monologue on some random aspect of Japan. (Also, if people think I'm bad about Anna-san, be very glad that I didn't have this blog when Y. and I were going out. LOL Because I've decided that I just have a huge hugemongeous crush on Anna-san. Because I think that to actually be in love you need to 1) know a bit more about the person's personal life, and more importantly, 2) have some kind of an equal relationship, which I am way too in awe of Anna-san too have. Example: Me, trying to imagine if we were going out and lived together.... 'But no,I couldn't live with Anna-san! Because then I'd get to see her all the time! That's too much to ask for! I couldn't see her all the time! It's too extravegant! I'd die! ' LOL. )
