Can't wait....

for my trip to Japan. It is THE thing keeping me going during this hectic period at work. I don't think I'll ever have to work so hard in my life as I am at the moment. It has taken over my evenings and weekends and will continue to do so. So far, everything that can go wrong has gone wrong one way or another. I really can't wait for this busy period to be over.

I have finally sorted out my itinery for Japan. It's going to be about 7 nights in Tokyo, 4 in Osaka and 3 in Yonago. I'm really hoping to meet up with as many friends as possible and just have a crazy time.

My knee has improved and I have been going back to karate. Fingers crossed if it stays improved it will be ok to do snowboarding on my trip. I'm also planning to take up judo once work dies down.

In my last post I was super excited to get the Tokyo Jihen album. I have since got the new Spitz and GO!GO!7188 albums, so my ears have had more than their fair share of j-pop this month. The Spitz album has some really good songs on it, but the singles from the album are a bit poor. The GO!GO! album is, as anticipated, very good but the production could have been a bit better.

I'll leave this post with the video for GO!GO!7188's latest single, "Nounai Traveller". Enjoy
