i dont live in japan yet sorry but i just have to say is that i totally have the same story as you. japan is a place where i want to start a new life. i know its going to be tough living is a new place with no one i know. i told my family this and they think im wasting my time but i know im not. if this is something i want to do then im not wasting my time. i have a close friend who really is interested in doing the same thing as you guys are doing. so what we're doing is trying our best in school and hopefully apply for a scholarship for a college in japan. haha i talk to much but its so cool to meet people with the same vision as you. haha it just made me happy i guess
