++Date of Birth
January 19, 1983
It's the same as that of writer/poet Edgar Allan Poe, whom I
fell in love with in junior-high school; Ogai Mori, a writer of
Japan's literary history; and cute Mr. Udo Suzuki, and even
cuter Rika Ishikawa! Also, Yuming-sama, a senior in the same
company, Cocco-san and Makoto Kawamoto. It's a day that produced
many singer/songwriters!
++Height
158 cm
When girls ask me how tall I am, on hearing my height 80 to 90%
of them say "Me, too!" Are there others out there?
++Blood Type
A
Well! True born A type! I heard it's a common type among
Japanese, but there's almost no-one with that type among my
friends.
++Hobbies
- Literature will remain my eternal passion! Books are
property. I'm keeping all the books I read. My books take up
more space than my clothes.
- Buying furniture, collecting interior goods
- Of course email is an indispensable tool for business and
private life, but I cruise the Net too. I learned about several
sites from Toshiba EMI's engineer. They are awesome -- quite
interesting, Mesdames! I recommend first of all two of them, Modern
Living and otogaiworld-------.
Visit them late at night, then they'll be further to the point.
- Internet mail order
- Stimulant seasonings such as Tabasco, red chili pepper, sesame
oil with chili peppers, vinegar and wasabi.
- Girls with blood type O, Boys with blood type B
++Specialties
- Quick typing on PC - Tetris - Patience - To evade saying
"I suppose it's OK" - To puzzle others - Independent
action of my left little finger - Basketball - Cleaning. Really,
I have confidence at it. I get strangely obsessed about the
cleanliness of my house. If I suddenly disappear from the music
world, you might see Hikaru Utada working as a helper at some
inn in Atami.
