Anime - Japanese Animation
Baka - Japanese word for idiot or fool
Loosely put an Anime Baka is someone who's crazy about Anime. However interpretation's may vary. I tend to think of Anime Baka as meaning something like drooling fan boy/girl.

Wrote this a long time ago. Too short for an article:
Perverted - Hentai in Japanese. But the word pervert means deviation from normal or accepted. So, how can all guys be perverts?
Did you ever notice that the sex scene in the movie is generally at about the same realative place as the guitar solo in a song?
Nana Kitade
I'm not quite sure where I bumped into Nana at. To bad I didn't find her earlier as she's done a couple of shows in the US. Nana always wanted to be a singer, but was not allowed to pursue her dream until reaching eighteen. So she was already really good coming out of the gate. She also does work as a model, often for the the store "Baby the Stars Shine Bright". She generally dresses up in Lolita fashion.
To date there are few songs by her that I don't love. She's a little rocker. Unfortunately her music hasn't done as well in Japan as it could. I think she's enough off the mainstream that it hurts her. Myself I think she's perfect. Her sound is always well done. Hmmm queen of J-punk?

At some point she got together with Marty Friedman (former lead guitarist from Megadeth) and they laid down some tracks that shine. Marty is currently living in Shinjuku, Tokyo and speaks fluent Japanese. He is one of the best guitarists I know of. I really hope that they do more work together. He really brings the fun out of her.

Anybody out there remember Sailor Moon? I guess she does:

Ohh, check out this video complete with english subtitles (Antoinette Blue): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXeLtNLO6uQ
