Kamiyama answers 100 questions
I've been a member of the Airmyu comm for a while, but I totally forgot about this comm until recently (didn't have internet for a while in the middle there ^^;) I think I have all their blogs syndicated to my flist, and I read them when I have time. The Run&Gun boys usually have some of the most interesting entries, so I always want to translate them ^^
Is anyone translating them in this comm? meibi, I just saw that you were doing Kamiyama blog translations ^^; Hope you don't mind too much that I started translating this ^^;;; I occasionally post summaries of entries I think are funny in my lj, but I haven't done a full translation in a long time. I'm by no means fluent, but my Japanese has gotten a lot better since living in Japan, and even more so now that I'm also attending a Japanese language school....
Anyway, Kamiyama's post today was pretty informative, so I thought I'd translate it ^^;
