Working Holiday

I am thinking very seriously about taking next semester off, and using it to take a working holiday in Tokyo. I really want to apply for a working holiday visa, and then take the initiative to just do it, but I'm scared.
I can't even get a job in my home town, how am I supposed to apply for jobs in Tokyo?
I need a fresh start, and I think this would be great for me, but how practical is it?
What happens if I just use up my life savings doing this, and never end up finding work?

If you've ever taken a working holiday somewhere, especially in Japan, I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Lame Update

Sorry I haven't posted anything for almost a month, if anyone cares (lol). And that most of my posts since I got back from Japan have been mostly fluff.
I'm looking to travel back to Japan as soon as I can, so we're aiming for next April. I want to show some of my friends around Tokyo and meet some of my other Japanese friends as well.

I started school this week, so that was kind of lame too, and I'm also not really working in the off fall/winter months. My goal this year is to do more school activities and make more of an effort to meet all the Japanese exchange students this year. Tomorrow I'm going to school early to kind of help promote our Japan Club for a bit before class. Maybe I'll post some pictures of us after :)

For now, here are some more recent photos of my nail art~

TO THE LIMIT PV Out Now!

Yesterday, KAT-TUN's new PV for TO THE LIMIT came out! And I'm actually impressed it's not just dancing pretty boys this time, but something different and more interesting! Let me just say, Ueda Tatsuya shaving his head was the best thing for him. It was like he's been completely reinvented from the super girly boy he used to be, and now he's a real ikemen. The wind tunnel hair and earring killed me, 'cause now he's a straight-up knock-out. Wow.

Watch it here @TokyoHive!

KAT-TUN's New Single PV

As reported by www.tokyohive.com, KAT-TUN will be releasing a new single, "TO THE LIMIT" on June 27! Excited!
They've also released a teaser for the single's new video, which can be watched here, on Tokyo Hive's website.

I've watched it, and it looks amazing, and obviously different from KAT-TUN's usual boy-band style music videos, as this one actually seems to have a story line, with lots of action scenes! Everyone's looking beautiful as usual, but wow, Ueda's looking better than ever. I was sad when he had to shave his head for the drama he was in recently, but he was cute with super short hair, and the way it has grown back is cute too. If you get a chance, follow that link and watch Runaway. I haven't finished it yet, but it's been really good.

Other dramas I've been kind of following lately are Ataru and Cleopatrana Onnatachi, both I've really liked so far. Check them out on www.dramacrazy.net if you're interested, as they are both new, and I believe currently-airing dramas!

Which J-dramas, if any are your favourites, and what have you been watching lately? Let me know in the comments :D

Learn Japanese!

http://jisho.org/ is a lifesaver for me. I'm so bad at reading and writing Japanese! I obviously didn't and haven't been studying enough at all when I was in school! Mostly, I just have to look up kanji :/
I don't really want to take Japanese at university anymore, because it takes up such a huge time slot, and it's hard to work around having to fit in a language lab section as well. Plus it could be at a whole different campus, and I just don't have the motivation or energy I did when I was a kid! Haha...

My oral Japanese is okay. Not as good as it could be, I admit, and sometimes it's just easier to pretend I don't speak Japanese at all. I'm thinking about doing cultural exchange to Japan with school, or some teach ESL there if I can. I'm really in need of the nice fresh start. 子供のときから、「いい日本人の男性と結婚することがいいなあ」と思ったんだよ。(笑）
