This might help - it's the musicians page from the Tokyo English-language magazine, which should give some idea of what's going on:
Metropolis Classifieds: Japan's No 1 classifieds |
Thanks for the link, I was about to ask if anyone had a link to a Japanese equivalent of Craigslist...this looks like it might be the ticket.. I've tried mixi but that didn't really work. :\
Thanks, tommasi, for the link to the youtube guy's site, looks like he's got a lot of videos up there so I'll check those out today.
Can anyone with experience moving to Japan comment on the pragmatics of moving my music studio over there? Better to sell here and buy new there, or ship? Keeping in mind the resale value of music gear here is chit... I don't know the market for music gear in Japan.
Looking over this thread it looks like the responses have all been pretty much negative... Did anyone on this site move to Japan and not do it by the book? Surely you can't ~all~ be TOEFL teachers and salarymen??
What about going to school in Japan? It's been a longtime goal of mine to get a degree in Japanese.. I would love to pursue a degree there.
Basically, I'm sick of the US and I'm moving to Japan in September regardless. If I've got to marry my roommate to do it, she's already agreed to do so, but I'd rather not go there if I don't have to, so I'm poking around and weighing options. I appreciate everyone's input, even if it's not what I'm wanting to hear. lol ^__^
