Hey! Someone I recognize from the LJ!! (Not that there's anything
going on over there at the moment.) Glad you got things straightened
out with Yahoo... I *know* how long THAT can take.
We've gots lots of Saitou fans and some PMK Harada fans. I'll let
past messages from Barb introduce you to the stylish-fundoshi version
of Harada from the live-action drama from NHK. :-D I'm just about
to get started watching some of that series. Lots of references to
film and television series featuring the Shinsengumi & the times...
unfortunatly buried in messages right now (unless someone has
compiled a film/tv list and posted it to Files?). If you get
confused like I do keeping them all straight, don't hesitate to ask
questions. Oh, and if you haven't already, consider signing up on
miburo so you can access the files that are over there. It's mostly
acting as storage space and full of info.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/miburo .
So... Japanese language skills, eh? (very wicked grin, rubbing
hands... and not just me) Two years or three, you HAVE to be better
than babelfish... :-D
You don't have to have any translation skills to be welcome. We're
always glad to have more miburo fans to join the fun.
