The Goals For Liv N' Luv Japan

Hello and welcome to Liv N' Luv Japan ! I have been working on Liv N' Luv Japan for about a year now (ever since summer 2013) and I really have been enjoying it. Everyone about knows that it is my dream to live in Japan and become a journalist someday in life. I wanted to learn a little more about blogging and learn the more advance techniques to blogging so, I went to my public library in town and checked out a book called "Blogging for Dummies". During the first parts of the book its talking about how to blog and why people blog and all that stuff.

Soon, I got to where they have started talking about bloggers thinking or already knowing the goal(s) of their blog. After reading that, it had me thinking really hard last night, "What are my goals to blogging on Liv N' Luv Japan?!". The truth is, I really never thought about that. So, I came up with a few that I thought that was wise to have as a goal and my goals that I wish to reach:

• To be able to reach 1,000,000 views ! (Currently the views are around 6,140)
• For my blog to become very popular !
• For it to actually help me in the future to become a journalist !
• To help and entertain people about anything Japanese from today and traditional ! 

I really can't come up with many goals but they will be more wiser once I start actually get serious about it. But, I want you guys to love reading my blog to a point that you are never bored and you want to read more and more till you are content. I want you guys to let me know what YOU want to see here on my blog. I want you guys to be educated and as well entertained by my blog. I am starting to get more serious about my blog but it is hard to come up with topics to actually to talk about since I have always been posting (this makes my 56th post). Once you start blogging, it's pretty easy to come up with anything but soon it get quick to run out of ideas.

Well, this is it for this blog post for today as I know it. If I wasn't in school right now I could've been able to post articles all day~! Don't forget to comment and follow Liv N' Luv Japan on Facebook ! (^_^)

Anime Review: Naruto/ナルト

Hello Everyone~! Today, I will be talking about a very popular anime and manga...Naruto! Naruto is an ongoing Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. The plot tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, an adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and dreams to become an Hokage, the ninja in his village who is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all~! The series is based on a one-shot comic by Kishimoto that was published in the August 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump.  

My opinion about the Naruto manga and anime is really amazing and exciting to watch because I really enjoy martial arts and traditional Japanese culture. Naruto is a combination of traditional Japanese culture with modern pop culture. And the series and manga make you really curious about what is going to happen next! This happens all the time with me every time I watch Naruto. I think the last episode I have previously watched was when Inou and Sakura was going to fight to see who goes on to the next examination. It made me think a lot and wondering who will win and if Sakura wins what will happen to Inou and if Inou wins, what will happen to Sakura...this is why I enjoy watching Naruto! ^_^

What is your opinion about the Naruto series? ^_^


Thank you very much for reading~!!! ^_^  ありがとうございます〜！

The story of Hana Yori Dango is basically about a young girl named Makino Tsukushi who attends a very prestigious school. She ends up running into a group who call themselves the "F4" which stands for the Flower 4 which consists of Nishikado Soujiro and Mimasaka Akira who are playboys, introverted Hanazawa Rui, and violent and bratty Domyouji Tsukasa. They are the four sons of Japan's wealthiest and powerful tycoons!

When Makino is at school, she just hopes to stay anti-social and invisible to everyone. But, in her locker she finds a red tag which means that the Flower 4 is targeting on bullying her.....
