Hi there! ^^

Hi my name is william, I'm 14 and love japan.
I'm glad to be a new member to the japan forum.
I have been drawing manga for 2 years and seriously drawing for like 4-5 years.Sill learning
I have been playing the piano for about 2 years and have been taking lessons for 3 months, I can play be ear and sort of read sheet music, I'm really into music.
I love reading manga and watching anime and movies.
My favorite anime/manga series are BLEACH and Naruto. Although I watch hikaru no go and kiba and soul eater as well.
I'm also illustrating for a Nonprofessional manga entitled: "Sub ZERO", soon to be on the web
I have sadly never been to japan, I'm not sure when I'll get to go, on a count of me living in North carolina.
I hope their are some people on this forum who like some of the things I do.

welcome sama in JREF ....
actually I like anime too soooo much and studying japanese and I'll go to there ...

English and japanese music is very beautiful to me specially Sami usef's songs


have a fun in here

I"m a musician too - I've played viola since I was 12 (22 years). Sometimes I loose count of how long it's been and get the number wrong.. but this time, its' correct. I play by ear and read music as well. I have taught basic music theory in the past.

I also love to write music, and am very very picky of what artists I listen to, cause that's just who I am.

The first Japaense JPop artist I ever truly heard was Mika Nakashima; I found (by accident) her music video for Hi no Tori ("Phoenix", also titled "Hitori Ja Nai" which means "You are Not Alone") one day on YouTube.

I was head-over-heals for her singing and the language she was singing in (which I at first thought was Korean (!!!) ) and learned that she was in fact Japanese. I truly wanted to learn what words she was saying in the song; thus begun my journey to learn Japaense.

Funny, eh? But I've been hooked on the language since, which has opened my mind to learning more about the culture and the food (*So* yummy!)

Anyhow, yoroshiku onegai shimasu,

- Aurura :haihai:

Welcome to the forum.
I once played paino but I have forgotten most of it.
I need to relearn.

Peace.
