Cutie Honey

This is a song a friend of mine used to sing at karaoke every time we went. She was really good and it was just pure fun!



Cycling road next to the Arakawa River in Saitama

These are cherry blossoms in Saitama. There is a beautiful cycling road in Saitamai-shi Sakura-ku. You can follow the Arakawa river, or the other small small river next to it, just until the Saiko lake (彩湖) in Toda. Especially in the spring or autumn it's marvelous.

A sad Japanese song

This is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Sung by JULEPS.

My gate to Japan

Hello everybody,

following the blogs of a lot of people, I just decided to begin a new blog myself.
I wrote one while living in Japan 1 year ago, but it was in Dutch and just to update my friends and family about my life in the far east.
But now I wanted to start a blog again, to post some pics of nice places I've been to in Japan and to share Japanese music, from now as well as from long ago. Just songs that I used to sing in karaoke, heard people sing in karaoke, etc...

Hope you enjoy and comments are always welcome :-)
Doriko.
