About me: i run a record label. all japanese bands/singers. psychedelic music? one of them, yura yura teikoku, has a myspace page here, but to be honest it's me pretending to be them. i also teach japanese to beginners in nyc and translate stuff. exciting news: the first issue of 'A Public Space' has a short story i translated - 'bloody self-portrait of a beast' by nakahara masaya (violent onsen geisha, hair stylistics). it just hit the stands, please take a gander. i also play music and have been in tens of bands, the majority of which were failures on both interpersonal and musical levels. the next one will be perfect though. the end
Who I'd like to meet: new yorkers interested in taking japanese language lessons from me.
