Yamaguchi's First Father's Day
I'm already planning on doing this myself, but I thought I'd throw the idea out to this community for anyone else who may be interested. Since June 15th is Father's Day in Japan, I think it would be cool to send Tatsuya Father's Day cards for his first Father's Day and it might be extra special for him to get them from around the world.
The address:
Mr. Tatsuya Yamaguchi (TOKIO)
c/o Johnny's Family Club
Miyamasu Tower B1F
1-10-10 Shibuya
Shibuya-ku, Tokyo-to
150-8550
JAPAN
"Happy Father's Day" is common enough in Japan that I'm sure he'll have no problem understanding the English, but if you want to write it in Japanese, it's 「父の日おめでとう」. If you'd like to write anything else in Japanese but don't know Japanese, comment and I'll be glad to provide short translations.
If I, as a poor grad student, can afford a card and an international postage stamp, I'm sure others can too. (^_^)v
PS Feel free to pass the idea around to others and link here for the address.
PPS Also! It's Mother's Day today! Tell your mothers you love them! (^_^)
Extra things brought up in comments:
1) Mail services vary by country, but it takes about a week between the US and Japan, so I'd say send it by June 7th and it will have a good chance of getting there by Father's Day. But that is to Johnny's by Father's Day, I don't know how long it will take to then get to Tatsuya.
2) This is the address for Johnny's fan mail. Just keep in mind that Johnny's has a policy against passing along anonymous letters and packages in general. While I'm pretty sure they used accept presents in the past, they specifically state on J-net that they do not now.
3) Most likely the best way for mail to not be anonymous is to have a return address with name on the envelope.
