Thank you, Japan. どうもありがとうございます

Before I post a single thing more, I just want to take a moment and say Thank You Japan!

Thank you to all of the amazing manga artists and writers, anime artists and writers, to all of the absolutely wonderfully dedicated voice actors and musicians - without your devotion anime would never be half as good. To all the Japanese people involved in creating manga and anime, making it the way it is - Thank you. ありがとう. You make so many lives happier and better with every chapter, every episode, and every movie.

Thank you to all of the Japanese men that knowingly chose to sacrifice their lives for others during the horrible 福島 (Fukushima) catastrophe. With my heart broke and my eyes stung with tears, I never felt more proud of human beings than I did in that moment upon hearing about the men who walked to their deaths, just to try and do what they can to stop the meltdown. Without hesitation, they put their people, other people, and the planet before themselves and did anything and all they could - not even knowing for sure if it would make a difference - to save lives. Thank you. Thank you so very much! どうもありがとうございました!

Thank you Japan, for being the amazing culture that you are! Your number one priority is consideration and respect for others - something every other country needs to do more of. Thank you for appreciating art, and nature, and history...for giving meaning to even the simple things like the words in your language. Thank you for being incredibly smart and creating all of the mind-blowing technology and video games!

Thank you for the yummy food! My life would be horrible without
てりやき! (teriyaki).

Thank you for just being so dang cool! I hope with all my might that one day I will be able to step foot in your beautiful country and experience first hand all the wonderful things Japan has to offer!




THANK YOU JAPAN!! どうもありがとうございます日本!!
