We encountered MJ impersonator!!! NY 1 was interviewing him for a while. Maybe I should have taken a photo with him…

Michael Jackson was one of reasons why I wanted to move to America. I danced to his music all of the time^_^

Happy Birthday Michael Jackson!!

My best friend Wallaby and her twin sister Yokkin sent me great photos^_^ They told me that they got together and watched New York Wave! We used to work at Tokyo Disneyland as a custodial(!!) during our college days. We always did something stupid there! Hahahaha-

Also wallaby is one of my characters for my new adult-graphic novel project!!

Snap Shots#2 from New York Wave

6

Film crew interviewed my fans. I was very happy to hear that they could share their feeling with my characters^_^

5

They usually like “Rock and Roll Love” and “Detective Jermain vol1″. It’s funny to see Japanese subtitles.

9

They filmed my Puppet Theater visit too. This was really fun!! Talking to puppeteers reminds me of my puppeteer days. It was very valuable.

7

In Otakon I was trying to get more kids to my workshop. Unfortunately my workshop was on SUNDAY afternoon. So there weren’t many kids>_< It was weird for me to hear and watch how I was talking to audience!

8

I was being pretty sweaty when I was teaching….

I’ll try to upload this documentary video as soon as possible!

Many of them asked me if they can e-mail me in Japanese.

Of course!!!!!! Send me in Japanese!!

Thank you again—

Yoga Magic

yoga

Once I find something I REALLY love(In this case I’m talking about YOGA), I tend to do it every single day!

My new friend Tamami san took me to her Yoga studio in Manhattan. Man I loved it!!! Teachers there are very helpful and kind. I felt light after I finished one lesson. I’m taking kuririn there!

So now I’m going there every day even though I suck…. One day I will be flexible like an octopus!
