Tagged by Gaia, George, Guy who love blythe and Jane. Thank you guys, and sorry for super delay!
1. I was born in 1973, Showa Era, in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka. I was born at 3:31AM, my weight was 3150g, primiparity for my mom though she had an easy birth.
2. I remember I have played with 2nd and 3rd gen Licca when I was a child. But unfortunately, I don't have them. Maybe my mom did throw them away.
3. I loved Toshi-chan, Seiko-chan when I was an early elementary school child.
4. I met Western music when I was 10 or 11 years old. I loved G.I. Orange and Culture Club!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!! G.I. Orange was a big hit ONLY in Japan, they were clutch player, British idol band though.
5. I met the Beatles when I was 13 years old. My friend Dan-chan was a big fan of them. She told me about everything of them. (She had a many rare records, also videos too)
6. The first concert was the Street Sliders for me. I was sooooo excited, I will never forget the moment when I got a firsthand look at them. They had acted in US bases named Fussa/Tokyo before they debuted.
7. I had an after-school job when I was a high school student. I did a lot of jobs, waitress of beer garden, staff of mover, cash register of pharmacy etc.... I wanted to get a money to go to concert, to buy dresses! Hahaha. I never studied anything(omg!), just go to concert, chat with friends. ;-P If I can return in those days, I want to study English!!!!!! LOL!
8. By way of the high school, I moved to Fukuoka City to go to the fashion school with my friend Masako, she's a childhood friend. We had wanted to break away from our parents. Our parents gave willing agree to it because our parents were friends, too. They were relieved I and Masako being together.
9. I met my hubby when I was 19 years old in 1993(it was before my birthday). I have a crush on him ever since the day we met. Hehehe. However, we're ALWAYS fighting! Our first fight was when we had not passed as much as one month. LOL.
10. By way of the fashion school, I got a job in the fashion company. I did a many things, salesgirl, planning to sales etc... in this company. I worked for 6 years half.
11. My dad killed himself by hanging when I was 25 years old. My families were really broken heart, especially my mom was filled with hurt feelings because she found him. Fortunately, I had my hubby and many many good friends. They picked up the pieces of my broken heart.
12. I moved to Tokyo in 2000 because my hubby had lived in there for work. It was painful choice to me. Because my hubby has already kept waiting for me for even 3 and a half years. But one thing I'm always worried about is my mom. However fortunately, I have sister and brother. So I moved to Tokyo, anyway.
Also my most favorite band named Blankey Jet City has dissolved in 2000. I've never loved any band like them before, and I guess I will never love any bands like them in the future. I still miss them so much.
13. As you can see, I've been crazy about music since I was a child. The music changed my life. The music of Japanese idol, Pops, Rock'n Roll, etc... And I met a lot of good friends, especially when I was in my late teens to my early twenties, and they still keep friends with me.
14. I got some jobs in Tokyo. The desk work in music office, waitress in cafe etc. Sometimes, I had tried to make both ends meet by working two jobs. Yes, Tokyo is too hard to live. And then, I got a desk work in software company. I worked for 6 years and half. Now, I'm looking for a job. Suitable job? Stimulating work? Job suitable to my ability? I still don't know what I can do though, what I want to do.....
15. I met with Blythe in 2006. I had known Blythe since before though it was the first time to know they were able to custom. I saw "Hedwig Blythe" on TIB, and then I thought "Ohhhh!!! We can custom them??? I want to try it!!!". My first Blythe were Samedi Marche Encore and Excellent Hollywood. Of course, my first custom was Hedwig.
16. I joined to MySpace in 2007. Because I wanted to find some doll friends in overseas, Japanese doll circles were looks oversaturated, segmentalized, too much mature. So I wanted to find some overseas friends. Unfortunately, I can't login to MySpace now because I forgot password and which email address I added it..... LOL.
Happily, I have flickr account, so my circle of doll friends are getting bigger and bigger! You're my treasures!!!
Thank you for reading til the end!
I tag anyone and everyone who wants to do this!
Last but not least(it's 17 things, lol), I got married after dating for 13 years in 2006!!
i decided to actually do it! (you can create your own version using photos you've uploaded to your myspace by viewing your photos and clicking the "make a myspace cube!" link.) iit took under 5 minutes and was amusing. i don't know what i'm going to do with it, though. maybe put it on display in my ikea bookshelves.

for several reasons:
there a so many i am thinking of posting more later
what started me on this rant is that i fond this stone on the beach at the end of the summer with a my space page address on it and thought brilliant how random what a grate way of promoting you myspace page. so of course i typed in the address and and thought i leave a little note say hello i found your stone but i can't because there page will not let me send them a message unless i am a friend. i added her as a friend but she never added me back, how crap. anyone on flickr can send me a massage usually they are some thing like how do you get you colors so vibrant what do you do in photo shop to witch i always like replying "there's no photoshop here!"
reason 1. because people can customise there pages and when people have no idea what CSS even stands for this can only mean one thing the worst designed web pages in the world. also who in the right mind thinks its a good idear to over lay green type on a photo that is mostly red? more people than you would think. i might get shexycorin to help pimp my space page cos hers is pretty cool and at the end of the day don't we all want to be all more like her
reason 2 some flickr users are bitching about yahoo owning flickr. since yahoo became flickrs sugar daddy i am sure they have stuffed a $100 bill into her bra now and again saying get you self something nice and then we get some nice new features. Rupert Murdoch now owns myspace and has it got any better? has it bullocks.
reason 3 the music player is shit! and considering that music is it main reason for being that's quite bad. i use my computer to lister to music, in fact i use my computer to pretty much every thing any way when i browsing the net i hate the fact that music starts mixing with what i am playing. some times you find a good tune and i think i will add them as a friend so i can follow what there doing, once you click on the link music stops! should be more like the paler on www.trackitdown.net/ when you click on a new page the music dose stop but once reloaded it dose play from the point where it left off.
reason 4 i was on some ones myspace just earlier and i wanted to leave a comment after signing in twice it said that i could not leave comments on peoples page where not in my contacts. most i just a error message
reason 5 i am not as popular on myspace as flickr
more reasons to come i am only just getting started
after this little rant you should check my my space page before it is deleted. in fact don't bother its shit! but just in case (www.myspace.com/kevinmeredith)
you can watch the full video here:

i found some old japan photos. this is on top of mount misen on miyajima island.
this is my unintentional myspace angle that resulted from trying to capture the island in the background.

Social Search Engine Face-off: Facebook vs. MySpace
By Erik Qualman (*)
Everywhere you turn, everyone's abuzz with Facebook, social search, and social networking. What's all the fuss about? As a marketer, are you missing the train? Or, if you move too quickly, are you jumping on the wrong train?
On the eve of search marketing's new year, does Facebook spiked with Live Search go down like the real deal? Or does guzzling Google-infused MySpace taste like you're drinking the latest Kool-Aid? (Another round of Second Life, anyone? Orkut on the rocks?)
There are many more social networks for myriad audiences: business (LinkedIn, Plaxo), older (Gather, Eons), travel (aSmallWorld, TripAdvisor), teens (eCrush), dating (Match, eHarmony), but we'll focus on the two giants for now: the Google and Yahoo of social search engines.
And when I say big, I mean big. The latest unofficial user figures have Facebook at 73.5 million and MySpace at 289 million -- numbers that have marketers across the globe collectively salivating.
Top 2 Questions: Facebook vs. MySpace
Question: What's the difference between MySpace and Facebook?
Answer: MySpace is starting to be stereotyped as a community for people who want to meet new people. Facebook is viewed as a community designed to keep you in touch with people you already know. Both points are debatable, so we won't go into depth here.
MySpace has also received some bad press lately as an enabler for pedophiles and other nefarious activity. Google faces similar problems in Brazil with their proprietary Orkut social search engine and online community. In your MySpace, as in life, there may be new people you don't necessarily want to meet.
Question: Why is Facebook getting more love than MySpace?
Answer: It seems a bit odd that Facebook is getting all the press these days when MySpace has more users and via strategic partnerships (e.g., Google) have shown they can generate substantial revenue (what I like to dub "socialommerce"). What gives?
Facebook is getting more hype as they're growing at a faster rate (admittedly easier to do with a smaller user base.) Plus, their technical platform is more robust, fostering future growth. Facebook has placed some risky bets that have paid off, adding to the excitement.
Roughly 16 months ago, Facebook opened up their platform to non-college students. Facebook originally was exclusively for those attending a recognized college or university. Facebook user demographics in areas like higher education and discretionary income are typically higher than those of MySpace.
Since opening the platform to non-college students, like-minded individuals have flocked to Facebook in droves. These individuals, while possessing similar psychographics of original Facebookers, have even better demographics for marketers: post-college education, high discretionary income, early adopters, etc.
According to a source within Facebook, the largest growing segment of Facebook is the lucrative 35- to 54-year-olds who enjoy the clean interface and higher privacy levels of Facebook.
Facebook also set the interactive world on its head when it opened up its application program interface (API) to allow any developers to write applications (widgets/modules) that reside within Facebook. Now everyone is following suit: ranging from iGoogle allowing widget development to iPhone opening up application development.
With Facebook, Wiki (pedia/search et. al.) open APIs, the world is truly moving the Web to open source ubiquity. These applications are growing quickly on Facebook. In the travel segment alone, there were at least 80 Facebook applications written as of two months ago. There are now 332 travel applications -- an astounding 400 percent increase.
The most popular travel app, TripAdvisor, enables Facebookers to place "flags" on an interactive map of all the cities they've visited (remember when a paper map on a wall and push pins sufficed?). TripAdvisor's application has roughly 85,000 active daily users.
TripAdvisor's mapping app wasn't even a new idea. TripAdvisor simply built a better mousetrap. Best of all, it's estimated that TripAdvisor only spent $15,000 to develop such an application by simply leveraging the Google Maps API.
From a brand equity standpoint, that's a resounding return on investment.
