Hope you have some question about Japan/Japanese next time!

I'll see what I can do. Gives me more reason to watch anime!

May I ask you another question?

Indeed.

I don't know if you are from the north America,

Canada, so yes I am from North America.

but if you are, I have a question about Amerinan and Canadian English.

When I was in Australia, people say

" Hi, Mayumi! How are you going?"
and I would say "good!")

but in the American drama "Friends" (which I have been learning English from, since I came back from Australia),

They go like

"How are you doing?" very often.

So I just wonder what kind of situation, you guys(North Amerinans)
would say "How are you going?"

Do you say "How are you going?" as kind of a greeting too?

That sentence would appear to be a question asked of a person's way of travelling somewhere, rather than asking how a person feels at that moment.

And the other day I read some American magazine
and found this,
"How ya doing?" it means "How (are) you doing?" ?

Heh, yes. "How ya doing?" is a very informal, quick way to communicate an interest in the other person's feelings at that moment.

It also leaves room to colour the asking itself with certain body language or ways of stating the question (for example, "How ya doin'?") that can vary depending on how well the two person communicating know each other. But that's straying away from proper English into person-to-person communication, a slightly different topic.

I hope I am of some help.
