find a friend in Japan?!

[german-guy]

Hi!

A friend of mine has moved to Tokyo three years ago. I lost contact to him and would like to find him. Are there any homepages in Japan like myspace or fakebook where you can contact students/people etc???

Thanx!

About fakebooks, I don't know, but there are MSN spaces, and goo spaces ,and jp.cyworld.com- all for bloggers.But the chances to find your friend there are minimal, so I suggest the offiicial way (embassies, city office or the newspaper ads).People are helpful in Japan.

I think he meant "facebook," another site like myspace. Mixi is popular in Japan, but like all other personal pages, you need to register, and unless you know the name or e-mail address your friend would use to sign up for such a site, it's pretty much pointless to try looking.

I echo the "official" approach. How about contacting his family?

Hi!

He moved with his family, because his father has found a job in Japan!
But I know his name!

I don't know if he is student, but how about contacting Deutschen Schule?

I've got no idea what he's doing! But (because he's as old as me) he should be going to university...
