First of all, the Jay Chou concert Kaki took me to at the Bodukon (where sumo wrestling matches take place and the prom scene at Hana Yori Dango took place) was amazing!!! Jay is a Mandarin singer from Tawain who is really big in Asia.. sort of like the Mandarin equivalent to Justin Timberlake. Anyways, he has a ton of songs and I didn't think he'd play the ones I actually knew and I especially didn't think he'd sing my favoriteeee song of his "ting mama de...

Domyouji <3 Makino!!! Refer to Hana Yori Dango which, by the way, has a movie coming out this summer to conclude the hit series! Sidenote:I decided to scope out Ebisu Garden Place to find the spot where Domyouji and Makino had their first and "last" date.

Mr. Moriyama is an art director for Anime such as Bleach (you can see his name in the credits!!)and Mrs. Moriyama works on Pokemon at a studio. They have two daughters, Natsumi and Ayumi.
