I've always been quite interested in Japanese culture ever since I was a child and playing Final Fantasy 7 with my little brother. It was a natural progression to become interested in anime after that and although I had been a fan of Hikki for many years, last year in particular, I discovered J-Rock and more bands than I could have ever expected to fall in love with!
In the past year there have been several other firsts, first time I made a cosplay outfit and subsequently attended a convention in said cosplay, first time I attended a meet up event, first time attending a J-Rock concert (see video above), first time becoming slightly fan girl over said band (slightly may be an understatement) and all in the year I first had the chance to live entirely on my own. Perhaps all that space gave me the opportunity to realise what was really interesting to me?
It has always been a dream of mine to visit Japan and upon some rather big changes in my life over the past few years, I decided I was no longer "waiting" (who knows what for) to go out and do what I wanted to do. Fast forward 6 months and I've begun to attempt learning Japanese, moved back in with my parents to save up some funds and booked flights to finally make the trip!

I hope in this blog, to invite you to share these new experiences with me and maybe learn from others about their experiences and other things that I maybe don't know about now. So here's the warning - I'm not promising to enlighten anyone, I don't know that I'm going to discover anything that many of you probably don't already know but I hope that maybe you enjoy taking the journey with me (^_^)
