Hello Arashi community!
I am in dire need of some help. Here is the background story first: I am a senior this year and at my school we get the opportunity for independent study for a month. So because I am an Arashi fan and they introduced me to japanese culture and inspired me to learn more and actually travel to japan. I was going to participate in a camp where I would teach English and learn about the culture but for obvious reasons, my trip was canceled. Not only am I very sad and constantly thinking and praying for the people of japan, but i am now in trouble with my independent study. My independent study is one of the things that allows me to graduate.
This is where you come in. My main focus for independent study was how do Japanese youth uphold tradition or how do they disregard it? And how does westernization distroy culture?
I am trying to find something to do in the USA or in a safe place that will still steer me in that direction. I have contacted different japanese culture centers and neither offered anything I am looking for and one didn't even have a way I could take Japanese lessons. I would really like to find a way to immerse myself in Japanese culture rather than take classes with nonjapanese people. I am really pressed for time since I was supposed to leave tomorrow for japan and I need to find an alternative by next week. So, if any of you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know.
Thank you all for your help. I am very impressed with the power of Arashi fans and I am very grateful for the fans and ofcourse the band that brings us all together, Arashi.
Thanks,
Tessa
