I have started a separate blog with a tutorial on traveling to Japan. I will try to give information about preparing, traveling, interesting things to see, buying concert tickets,...
I base it on personal experience during my trips to Japan and from other people and other websites. I hope this will be of interest to some people. It is meant to combine all this info together as it can somewhat be scattered around the web.

It's still a work in progress though: My Japan tutorial.

There seems to be something weird going on with the second season of Suzumiya Haruhi.
It seems that the previous "second season" is cancelled and a new "second season" is being created. Probably due to creative differences with the production team & director.
Kyoto Animation will still be animating the second season. The director will be Yasuhiro Takemoto, who also did "Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid", "Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu", "Lucky Star".

As in the previous anime project, the fictional "leader" of the new anime project is the character Suzumiya Haruhi herself. The "disappearance" of the official website was on December 18 at 4:00 a.m. (Japan Standard Time) and is a reference to the pivotal date in The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, the fourth volume in the light novel series. This might be an indication of which novel the second will be about.

Huzzah! I must say the CD only cover is
ugly (don't pros take hundreds of shots
for something like this??) but as a
decade-long Ayu fan, I hope GUILTY is
a good one. Saw her on CNN once -- she
actually speaks English quite well, don't
know why her album tracks are so...
Engrish. Nice post!

This album isn't getting too many great reviews, but it actually is pretty good. This album is darker than some of her others - I'm a little scared of Marionette (prelude), but still great overall.
