Seeing Colors~

Here I am, this is me. I'm a young African American girl from the state of New York. I currently reside in Tokyo, Japan. I sing, I dance, I paint, and I act~ The world has many different colors. Each one is different and beautiful in its own way. This blog is about what I see, so take look through my eyes. Some of what will be shared on here will be about my adventures 6700 miles+ from home. Others will just be about my thoughts on life. This is the purpose of a blog right? I will have my ups and downs. I share them with you good, bad, ugly and exotic. I hope everyone will eventually see what colors the world has to offer~

今夜#ZeppTokyo に行って #theoralcigarettes 見た！久しぶりMasaya、level upしたね〜 （＾ν＾） 新しいアルバムは楽しみ。#オーラル It's been a while since I've seen Masaya. He's such a busy boy but his playing has gotten even better! Looking forward to the new album. #jrock #jpop #Japan #Japanese #music #expatlife #imanij #blackinJapan #oralcigarettes #オーラルシガレッツ (at Zepp東京)

Had a fun time kickboxing with Shun and Mr Matsuo. It's good to switch things up. Afterwards I was treated to my favorite Japanese food ウナギ ! (That's all I ever really want lol) ありがとう！

The next stop on my #PokemonCenterMission was #Nagoya Usually I visit this location when I go to KazokuFes every year, but the event didn't happen last year and after this year's show, I had no time to go. Luckily I had some time after the #BRADIO show to stop by. Picked up some socks as always. I'm still slowly going through Moon in #Japanese. Part of me wants to get Sun as well just to start with Rowlet but we'll see. Loving the game so far. Stop number 2, Pokémon Center Nagoya!

Sound check now~ It's almost a surreal experience being able to stand on this stage. I've watched so many people perform here and I'm glad that I've been given the opportunity to participate in this show. #bradio #pumpupfunk #jrock #jpop #music #japan #blackinjapan #imanij (at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo)

Went to see #SuG after coming back from Nagoya. Even though they didn't perform any of the songs I participated on in their latest album, I still had a good time! I hopefully I can catch it some other time. I'm also wearing the hoodie Takeru designed. It's my favorite！ #milliondollarorchestra #jrock #jpop #vk #music #japan #japanese #blackinjapan #Tokyo #imanij

I've loved the Pokémon franchise since the first generation and still continue to play the main series. I'm super excited about the release of Sun and Moon. However, aside from the game and anime I've come to love visiting the different Pokémon Centers around Japan. I've been to quite a few but, I've decided to start documenting a new mission! I'm going to visit each Pokémon Center in Japan within the next 12months. Hopefully this pilgrimage will be completed by November 2017. Here's stop number 1. Pokémon Center Osaka!
