Happy New Year! or 新年あけましておめでとうございます!

I can’t believe a year has already passed! We went to a friend’s place for New Year’s Eve and had Nabe and Sukiyaki. Oishiso~~ My Japanese friend also served us 蒲鉾, kamaboko - fish cake, shredded daikon and just before the New Year’s, we had soba for longevity. ^_^ We also watched the NHK special - Red and White show (Kōhaku Uta Gassen), which is like the Dick Clark’s New Year’s special, from Japan. There were alot of Enka singers and my friend explained that it was a music/performance competition between Men (white) and Women (red). Gackt was very impressive with his whole Samurai theme performance (http://youtube.com/watch?v=zl_mqVhmJjY) but the one I was most impressed with was the woman in the big dress - http://japonismo.com/IMG/jpg/sachiko.jpg . WOW! Her dress was as big as the stage and changes in color and style throughout her performance. Watching it change reminds me of a Kaleidoscope. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dalefarwalker/1347763262/ 

I’ve been having a writer’s block for several weeks now…nothing seems to click and I couldn’t find my music muse…but just now…it started to rain and something in me began to bloom… hahaha…figuratively :p…back to writing Vol2-chapter2! matta ne!

I wanted to show all of you Wabi’s picture. She’s our naughty little doggy. I was surprise that she was willing to wear the antlers…dogs would do anything for treats! *hehe* Wabi is an Aussie Shepherd and she’s 2 years old. She loves to play and her favorite things to do are to catch frisbies and soccer balls. We call her Wabi after the Japanese word - “Wabi Sabi” which means the imperfect beauty of nature…but frankly I think she’s more like “Wasabi” cos she is crazy hyper and run in circles all the time. >_<;

We’re so excited! Kasumi was announced to everyone at the NY Anime Fest! Here are some links:
