Hello! My name is Courtney and I am from California, USA. I am looking for a long-term friendship with someone in Japan. I have had many pen pals before, but they all stopped contacting me after just one letter and I don't understand why.
I'm 17 years old and in 12th grade. I will be going to college next year to become a Graphic Artist. I love anime, manga, and foreign films. I'm also a very big fan of the Final Fantasy series, along with many other games.
I like to listen to the Final Fantasy soundtracks, especially the Advent Children one. Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children is my favorite movie of all time right now, as well as the OAV "The Last Order". In case you're wondering, my favorite character is Rufus Shinra. :)
My other favorite bands include JRock bands like Dir en Grey and Pierrot, but I also like american bands like Linkin Park and Green Day.

I hope you will consider me for your friend!
I look foward to an email. ^_^

Hi Everyone!

My name is Tracy I am 23 years and live in Kentucky. I have always been interested in other cultures especially Japanese! I am currently learning nihon-go but i only know VERY little. I would like to find some Japanese penpals to help me learn more about your language and culture. I can also help you learn more about English too if you need. Please email me if you are interested in becoming a penpal.

I also love anime and video games, especially Fullmetal Alchemist and Final Fantasy, and anything else that deals with J-Pop. I am also working on learning game development.

Minnasan, hajimemashite! Watashi ha Katharina desu. Kata to yonde kudasai. Watashi ha doitsu no gakusei desu. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu.I'm currently living in Marburg, a beautiful city near Frankfurt/Germany. I fell in love with erverything Japanese ~7 years ago and have been interested in Japanese language & culture since then. I recently started attending Japanese culture & language courses at the University of Marburg (unfortuneately, my Japanese is not very good yet...).
I am on this way searching for new Japanese penpals to exchange viewpoints, talk about our interests, current events, history, art, music, books, comics/manga, food, fashion or anything else. I could also teach you a bit of German or English, if you like.
E-Mail or postal mail exchange, either's fine with me (I'd love postal mail, though =)).
I love reading, writing and talking, so it would be really cool if you could write as much as possible - please no mails with only 1 or 2 sentences.
I'll be glad to hear from you soon!

Ja, mata.

Hi there! I'm looking for someone mature, open, respectful & easygoing to exchange emails with. I'm impartial to gender, age, religion, or social status.

To introduce myself, I'm a fairly simple person who enjoys meaningful conversations over coffee with close friends. I listen to alternative & rock music (a fan of L'Arc~En~Ciel, hide & Nakashima Mika). I love to read, especially philosophical literature, and contemporary & classical Japanese novels. Although I'm as compassionate as your average person, I'm more of a thinker - curious & inquisitive. I'm also honest, open & consistent. Thus, those who do decide to email me can expect honest answers and a lot of questions.

That's it for now. If you match the description above, and like what you've read about me so far, then I hope to hear from you soon. :)
