Archive for the 'Bloggers in Japan' Category

This is in no way fully comprehensive, it might perhaps be 34/123ths comprehensive, I am still crunching the numbers.

So in absolutely no particular order…(apart from the order in which I thought of them, which might perhaps say something about me, but ignore those thoughts and move along)

I’m fairly sure anyone with even a sparse interest in bloggers in Japan (which is of course different from Japanese bloggers) will have heard of Danny Choo or has at least seen him dance around Shibuya dressed as a stormtrooper. I think one of the most interesting things about Danny’s website is the huge number of pictures he takes for his blog. His posts are usually bursting with them, which I enjoying, being somewhat of a visual fellow. I am not really into the anime figures that Danny has a huge love for, but some of the shots of a tiny anime girl trying to lift a biscuit or some such thing are pretty funny.

Hikosaemon is an expert from New Zealand who has lived and worked in Japan for quite a number of years (not a great answer I know but I couldn’t find a number and I’m trying to get on here). He is bilingual in his blogs and often pushes for Japanese bloggers to cross over more into the mainstream interwebs. Hiko also makes videos on Youtube, and he is a prominent member of the JVlogging community. I find him to be a sane voice in a sea of madness quite often. On his blog you’ll find a nice mix of Japan themed posts and posts about various tech related subjects. Highly recommended.

Arisha in Tokyo. A girl from small town Oregon talks about her adventures in Tokyo and shares some of the amusing tales that pop up teaching kids in an English language school. It would appear that she possesses some kind of inhuman typing skillz because some of these posts are looooong. I am too lazy as a reader to full delve into those particular posts. But she has a cool kooky sense of humor and she is hot, which is really all anyone cares about right?…no?…just me?…hmmmm…moving on.
