Hello everyone!

I would like to have serious penpals. I really don't like it when people suddenly stop answering, or just write a little about themselves. I want to exchange any idea or feeling.

Me? You can talk to me about anything, I practically listen to any kind of music, pop, rock, metal, classical, as long as it's good. And I am deeply interested in Japanese culture. I listen to Jpop or Jrock when I can find them, also kodo and folkloric songs of Japan and Okinawa.

I am a person who is interested in details, so even your daily lives would interest me deeply.

Just write me, you will surely get an answer! Being friends is the best thing in the world! :)
