I know Naruto manga since 2005. It is an interesting manga, took a Ninja story as their background. Then I began to know their "anime" series too.
Several days ago, I read an article news from www.japanesia.org. It is a site which consists and unite lots of indonesian japan lovers. The article said that there is a Hokage Rock build in Naruto City.
Huh...? Naruto City ...??
Is this real the name of a city..?
Or just a promotion for the Naruto Manga..?
When I read their links sources the news provided, now I knew the true story of that news. I read their sources came from www.animenewsnetwork.com.
So I looked to animenewsnetwork, and found its artcle here: www.animenewsnetwork.com. From here I got links again to Sankei, and Yomiuri Shinbun.
And then I searched for myself from google search, and I found this Arudeyo blog too.
Some points I got was, there is real town whose name Naruto City in Tokushima Prefecture.
The town was founded on March 15, 1947. While Naruto Manga first published by Masashi Kishimoto in August 1997. So it was 50 years after.
The interesting part is, celebrating 100.000.000 selling of the Naruto Manga copies, the Naruto Town held some programs to attract some tourists to visit.
- Some of their attracting programs is, build a replica of Hokage Rock on their local government building. 
- They release a money like tickets, which can be use as "money" to buy things in about 250 shops arround Naruto Town. 
- In an Odori Festival, they made Naruto Posters Festival too. And several others activites held in that town.
Thats so interesting programs. A real town using Manga/Anime stuffs to attract some visitors to visit their town. Looks like they all out to do something.
I wonder how the government in Indonesia can do the same things. A real programs, real acts that can attract new visitors to visit. We must learn from this town, how they "all out" to do something for their own sake.
Hokage Rock in Naruto City
Ai-chan got web blog too! (...finally)
Do you know Ai Takahashi?
She is the Leader of Morning Musume.
One of the most popular group singer in Japan.
Well I usually call her Ai-chan.
I always want that Ai-chan will have her own blog someday.
Well it finally comes.
Since her birthday on September 14th, 2010, she have her own blog.
Now I can follow her activities within or outside her job as singer.
(but probably there will be more related to her job anyway... ^_^)
I came too late to know her blogs, almost a month since she launch it.
When I read her blog, she seems to posted alot about her fashion.

Well it's OK... ^_^
At least I know her daily activities beside singing or job stuffs doing.
This is her first posting on her blog:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME..笑
Learning Japanese Via Internet
Recently I try to study japanese via Internet.
I havent take any japanese study/course before, so my japanese are very-very bad.
I believe if the native speakers read what I'm trying to say in japanese, they will surely laugh.
But for me:
mistakes are first step to understand something...!!
Just few days ago I join this site:
http://www.studyjapanese.org/
then one of their admin, Tony-san recommending this site:
http://lang-8.com/
to help me to improve my japanese skill.
In this site we can communicate with others learners and native speakers.
I'm new in this site so I can't tell you further.
But one of its point is, in here we write a journal/diary.
Then some native speakers who read it will correcting our writing.
For example I have posting 2 writings:

Happy Fasting, Eat Sahoor meal with Sayumi Michishige ?
I work in NetCafe as a Technician in Malang City in Indonesia.
As a Technician I choose night shift, coz, I can make repairement necessary on the night hours, coz they are more few customers at night.
Coz I’m always work at night in my office, so I eat “Sahoor”, - its kind of Breakfast -, for preparing Fasting Day in my office.
This year subuh fall on 4.15 AM (Indonesian Time)
So before that time, we take our meal as Sahoor.
This is the second day of our fasting Days.
Our menu is “Soto Daging”
Do you know “Soto Daging”?
Well I don’t experting in cullinary, so I cant say what kind of food is “Soto”.
Maybe close to “Soup” as Meat (Cow) as their main flavour. (Daging in Indonesia meaning is Meat).
Soto widely knows by Indonesian People, there are lots of Soto varians all over the country.
Different town have their own kind of Soto.
Some of them make ‘em special Soto that only can be known originally recipe from that’s town/neighboorhood.
Eg. Soto Babat Lamongan, Soto Madura, Soto Banjar, Coto Makassar, ..etc.
This is my Soto for this day:
And this is me in front of my Personal Computer Desk
Right there I was reading Sayumi’s Web Blog.
Who is Sayumi…???
Sayumi Michishige is one of Morning Musume’s member
The Rokkies Member, or 6 Generation member of Morning Musume.
She’s kind of cute girl, I mean… they are all cute girls hahaha…
You don’t belive me…??
Well you may take a look at her photo here:
Don’t say that she’s not cute at all…!!!
I’ll kill you instanly…!!!
Hahaha… just a joke ^_^
I wonder, what kind of Sahoor meal she’ll take, if she was fasting too…?
Huuuuuh…??? Sayumi… fasting…???
Hahaha…. Its just my imagination don’t take it too hard ^_^
Well I found this pics from her blogs.
Now this is her meal for breakfast
Well… Sayu n All, ………… Itadakimasu..!!!
Well this is just a dream in my dream...
hahahaha...!!!
:LOL
Shocking News ! Eri Kamei, Junjun, Linlin Graduation from Morning Musume
Now this is a shocking news for Morning Musume fans n lovers.
3 members of Momusu soon will be graduate and leave the group.
Tsunku, the founder and producer of idol pop group Morning Musume, has updated his blog with tremendous news for fans; Kamei Eri, JunJun, and LinLin will be graduating from Morning Musume and a 9th generation audition will be held to fill their spots.
All three graduations will take place at the same time, the final show of the Morning Musume's 2010 fall tour.
Eri Kamei graduate coz of her problem skin health, activities in Momusu causing her healing progress became not effective enough, and maybe can causing more serious for her health.
Junjun and Linlin, considered as mature enaough to continue and developing their skill trough out of Momusu.
This is a pic messages I captured contain announcement from Tsunku from their official blog in my space:
Well, eventhough I'm not a real WOTA but I love to watch their Music Videos and hear their Songs.
What is WOTA...??
Well from http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/Wota, they define as a "wota is devoted to female idols ` the pop group Morning Musume is particularly notorious for having concentrated amounts of obsessed wota".
For myself, I begin to know bout 'em when I work on a "NetCafe", I found their picture and their songs, then i begin to like it. (PS. "love it" not to be mentioned as "obsessed" ^_^)
I love 'em all, yes, they all are cute girls and good dancers.
I know Kamei Eri, Junjun and Linlin, at least I know how they looklikes ^_^.
I feel uncomfort too when I hear this news, coz, Momusu have stable formation last this years, too bad if it will be "dramatically change".
But life must go on, soon or later some of their members will gradually graduate from the group, just like their Senpai/Seniors.
Well, for all three of 'em, I wish Good Luck for their next activities. And plus for Eri Kamei, may her health condition recovery are fast so she can go back to Momusu (at least work together again with them).
This is a pic messages I captured from three of 'em, from their official blog in myspace.

It's OK, they are my Lovelies anyway.... ^_^
(you are forbidden to say Siiiigh...!!! wakakaka... ^_^)
(articles dan pics was kidnapped from C-ute's official blog)
Which Came First - The Chicken or the Egg ?
One of the most puzzling and famous life questions has stumped people for generations. It's the question of which came first: the chicken or the egg? In order for there to be an egg, a chicken would have had to lay it. In order for there to be a chicken, it would have had to hatch from an egg.
Dr. Colin Freeman from Sheffield University along with colleagues from Warwick University have figured it all out. Their research project originally aimed to figure out how animals make eggshells because it's an extraordinarily strong yet lightweight material that no human has been able to replicate, and the researchers hoped to learn how to develop a manmade equivalent by learning about the way animals make eggshells.
Chickens were chosen as their test subjects simply because the protein was easy to study. The study began when Freeman and his colleagues used the UK Science Research Council's super-computer called HECToR (High End Computing Terascale Resource), which is based in Edinburgh. The "ingredients" used to make eggshells were programmed into HECToR, and that was it. The computer was left to produce results on its own, and it took weeks for HECToR to figure out how chickens make eggshells.
When HECToR finally arrived at a conclusion, the researchers were stunned when they realized that they had solved the age old question. After years and years of debate, it was finally determined that the chicken came before the egg.
What they found was a protein, called ovocledidin-17 (OC-17), that exists only in a chicken's ovaries and is vital to eggshell formation in chickens. The protein acts as an ongoing builder that pieces microscopic parts of the shell together by converting calcium carbonate into calcite crystals. The shell would not exist without this protein, which only exists in chickens, so the end result is that the chicken came first.
In addition to answering the question that has burdened the human race for ages, the results of this study could be advantageous in the medical field since human bones and teeth are made in a similar way as eggshells. This could lead to a better understanding of how to rebuild human bones. Also, the study could help figure out how crystal structures can be made and destroyed (since the eggshells are made up of microscopic crystals). Learning how this can be done could lead to the elimination of limescale crystals on pipes and kettles.

Morning Musume in Japan Expo 2010
Morning Musume, one of the most popular japanese singers in japan. Have scheduled to participated in Japan Expo 11th in Paris, France.
Apa sih makhluk bernama Morning Musume ini..??
Ntar deh aku buat posting yg ngejelasin tentang Makhluk Cantik bernama Morning Musume. Tapi untuk sekedar tau aja ini nih aku culik dari wiki:
One day I found this pic on one of their member's blog:
It's make me curious what are they holding on.
Each member holding a paper with Kanji Letter written on.
Well... 1 member on right side was hold strange Kanji Letter, b'cause it was written with handwritting, its hard to read it, especially the picture was not clear n big enough to zoom. Her name is Lin-lin.
Then I got this new pic, which have more clear n bigger resolution
The other member from Aichan (Ai Takahashi) to Aika Mitsui holdings:
モーニング娘。
(I prefer translate it "Morning Princesses")
Then Junjun hold
上
Then the difficult one is read the Linlin's paper
陸
(Thats the closest letter I can imagined)
I can't find another related letter.
So if they all combined it becomes:
モーニング娘。上陸
means: Morning Musume has Landing (arrived in France)
Well... I hope my guest is correct.
Sorry for my poor english n japanese ability
I still working at
^_^
