After college, I wanted to learned about myself as an American, so I left the United States and went to Japan.

I loved playing computer games. I used to be one of the top World of War-crafters in the world for a couple of years.

My life was very Japanese.

So many of us, we love these things that come from Japan. We play the video games every day, we read the manga, people watch the cartoons, they absolutely love it.

I loved Japan. I used to read a lot about it when I was a child. And I always wanted to go. And it was delightful. I absolutely loved it. What a smashing place.

Japanese is sort of a hobby of mine, and I can get around Japan with ease.

I took Japanese in high school. I'm Chinese, though, and I just fell in love with the language and the culture.

When I left the U.S. for the first time, I spent my first year abroad in Japan. That culture shock and abundance of new stimuli combined with a lack of guidance forced me to develop my own approaches to learning and juggling.

When I go to Japan and do shows I play for 1,000 to 1,500 people. I like a lot about Japan. Their popular culture and mass commercialization appeals to me.

I grew up in Japan. It's my first memories of life are Japan.
