Hi, Lea and everyone!

I am new here. My name is Yuko. I'm Japanese and a postgraduate
student majoring in Art History. And of course I am an ardent Lea fan.
I'm very glad to join this group.

Lea, I am deeply impressed by not only your beautiful voice and
wonderful career, but also your professionalism, quality work,
intelligence, sincerity, humility, unaffected personality, great sense
of humor, strong belief and attitude of always doing your best. This
is why you are my role model. I am really really proud to be the same
Asian woman.

I have some questions, Lea.

(1) I read a transcript of your past chat session in which you said
that the last time you were in Japan was when you were around 10 or 11
and on stopovers for flights.
Since the chat session, have you been to Japan?
And any plan to travel to Japan in the future?
There are a lot of your fans in Japan. PLEASE Please please do
concerts in Japan!

(2) As mentioned above, my major is Art History. I was wondering if
you were interested in fine arts.
If so, who is your favorite artist?

I always wish you and Rob every happiness!

Yuko

I haven't been to Japan since the chat... it would be nice to visit, maybe
with my fiancé. He's never been (and he's half-Japanese) so it would be
good for him to go.

I appreciate it, but only at a low level. I go as far as "if it looks
pretty, I like it."

Yes. I know Toko Shinoda. She is a Japanese painter. She was born in
1913, and now 90 years old. I have ever seen her paintings at a
gallery. She paints abstract paintings by brush and Chinese ink.

Do you like her works?

Thanks for your message, Lea. I know your fiancé is half-Japanese.
Please come to Japan with Rob in the near future! It's our greatest
pleasure.

Neither is mine. Hey, we have something in common!
In fact, I'm pretty sure nobody here has the surname of
Ono, so you should fit right in :)

Welcome to the group. Where do you live in Japan?

Dale

You can watch sumo on my website, www.dohyo.com
I'm sure you hate sumo as much as everybody else in Japan
these days...

Hi!
You speak Japanese perfectly! :)

Generally, We use "-kun" for boys and "-chan" for girls when children
call to each other and when grown-ups call to children. I mean we
attach "-kun" or "-chan" to child's name. But if we are very close, we
use them among grown-ups. It depends on their relationships.
We also use "-kun" for both men and women at the national assembly.
e.g. when the chair calls members of the Diet. It's a custom of
Japanese assembly.

Oh, by the way, did you feel today's earthquake?
I suppose you get so many of them that maybe you
no longer even notice them :)

Hi, Dale!
I live quite near to Ichikawa-shi in Chiba.

Yeah, I felt yesterday's earthquake. It was rather big, wasn't it?

By the way, why you know earthquake in Japan? Do you live in Japan?
If so, how do you get informations about Lea? Of course, this
newsgroup is really useful, exciting and cool. :) But we have few
magazines with articles about Lea and no commercial on TV in Japan.
What a shame! :'( The access to informations about Lea is limited in
Japan. I envy those who live in the Philippines and the US. :)

i miss earthquakes. i mean, not the disaster type of course, but
those small tremors that occurred regularly when i was growing up (my
hometown doesn't get typhoons like manila does, but we do get
earthquakes a lot).

dale is a retired sumo wrestler. ;-)

if i understood that correctly, then i think that's great!! i like it
when tv programs are aired commercial-free (like "24" -- love this
show!).

Oh, my explanation was not good... I meant, we cannot see or listen to
commercial Lea appears in. Sorry. I'm not good at English.

And don't believe Trey- I'm not a retired rikishi :)

I get all my information from this newsgroup. I'm still waiting for Lea
to come perform in Seattle. I have a feeling you'll see her in Tokyo
before I see her here :)

LOL! I remember that time I last felt an earthquake. That was during
finals week, more than a month ago. I was studying at 6.30 AM, and since I
really lacked sleep, I thought it was just my eyes/vision doing that shaky
thing, and that I was just dizzy. But I noticed that the curtains were
swaying. So I realized it was an earthquake. I texted my other friend who
I knew was also up, studying, and who lived nearby, asked her if she felt
that, and she said yes.

Lea,

Did you already have your bridal shower as well as your bachelorette
party? if so, where did you have your parties? did you have fun?

What are your plans for the Christmas holidays? Have you started your
holiday shopping yet?

I was in my aunt's house after school (I think... what time was the
earthquake?), waiting to go out for dinner or some meal (I don't really
remember) because it was her birthday.

Late afternoon. I had two troublemaker classmates whose birthdays
fall on that date, too, and we used to tease them about it.
