ok sachiko...i know that the OP is young, i mean its quite obvious. i was giving her advice, to think it out, to not worry about moving to another country when you're 13 or however old she is, and that you don't understand japan unless you've lived here for awhile. i'll say it again, i'm not trying to crush her dreams, i just want her to think it out. like nyoronin said, you don't just wake up one morning and say, "hey im gonna move to japan cuz i like to draw anime!!" i'm sorry but it doesn't work like that. there's a years long process that is awaiting her if she decides to move here. i think what the OP needs to focus on right now is getting good grades and going to college. first things first...you know what i mean?
