Year 2010: Year of Tiger

[Astroboy]

According to Oriental Zodiac/Chinese astrological calendar, Year 2010 (next year) is the year of Tiger. In general, Tiger means charm against evil. So I wish you all J-forumers a Happy New Year and all evils will be gone.

Akemashite omedetou! A great (I hope) new decade has begun that will help us forget the last putrid decade. It's fitting that it should start with the Year of the Tiger.

And a nice vid showing how you can make your own Japanese decoration for the Year of the Tiger.

Koto Music

Traditional music played for the New Year in celebration of the Year of the Tiger.

This event was held at Roppongi Hills on New Year's Day 2010.
