An Introduction

The Japanese In Me is firstly a collaboration between myself (Adam Glover), Joey Ridge, Remi Klauser, and Alex Johnston. The theme is: sex, drugs, love, Japan. A while ago I initially approached Alex with my idea and he was enthused. I told him that I wanted to create, or produce a book about studying abroad in Japan, based on our own experiences.

We just thought that it was strange that every year so many college students go to Japan, but everyone keeps all the crazy things that go on there a secret. As the project grew we included Joey and Remi, who I was friends with from Japan. They gave me access to their own personal journals and testimony and I created this novel, The Japanese In Me, with them.

As we go about promoting the novel and the project, we will all be blogging from this site and writing short ‘essays’ and articles about Japan. I will mainly be moderating in the background, but Remi, Alex, and Ridge, will be in charge of writing.

We aim to create the most “original” site about Japan and we will write about and cover topics that none other has before. We want people to use this site with the novel to learn what Japan is like before they go there.
