I write about everything I find interesting, so the content may vary a lot. However, my main interests are Japanese entertainment, design and technology, so that's probably what 70-80% of the posts are about.
Why did you start your blog?
I've been a blogger for a long time, I've tried many blogging services and written about many different things. However, I've only had one successful blog before I started this one. A while ago I decided to change my username, and that's probably one of the reasons why I'm still here. With my name change I wanted to change everything and use this one place to publish content, rather than using several sites since that may be troublesome for my readers. This helped me focus and also led to a more successful blog.
How is it designed to be used?
This blog's primary purpose is to provide useful and interesting information about design, Japanese entertainment and technology. I only write about things I'm interested in, this is a blog after all and it's a way for me to discuss the things I like with people who have the same interests as me. Discussions are held in the comments section which is located in the end of every post. However, if a reader wants to get in touch with me in private, there are several ways to do that, check the contact page for more information.
How can users connect / subscribe?
I don't update my site on a regular basis, sometimes I post up to 3 or 4 times a day and sometimes there can be a whole week between posts. That's one of the reasons why I encourage my readers to subscribe to my RSS feed or via email. If you don't want updates via RSS or email, you can follow me on Twitter where I always tell friends and followers when I've updated my blog.
How can readers get more involved?
The best and easiest way to get involved is by leaving comments. I don't think short comments are bad, even if you don't have anything to add to the discussion it's just nice to get feedback. However, longer comments that I can actually reply to are much appreciated. If you're interested in becoming a guest blogger or exchanging links, visit my contact page for further instructions.
Where should readers start?
If you're new here I think you should take a look at my featured articles page, since that page has a list of some of my best articles from different categories. Alternatively, just take a look at the front page which lists the 10 latest articles. I try to focus on the categories I usually write about, so if you don't like anything on the front page, this site is probably nothing for you, but check the featured articles just to make sure.

So besides Japanese music I also love everything else related to Japan, especially entertainment such as dramas, movies, fashion etc. I've also been into Korean entertainment since I started listening to Morning Musume, back in early 2007.
I've been using computers since Microsoft released Windows 95 and I'm currently studying IT-communication and computer security in upper secondary school. So you could say that I'm pretty good with computers now, but I wouldn't call myself a geek. I've been using Windows since Windows 95 and switched to Mac when Microsoft released Vista.
