「Q＆A」START
「I want to know what color do you like the BEST?
And! When baby is born,will you tell us her name? I think your name is from Bible, right?」
My favorite colors are pink and purple. I'll tell you. Yes! "Leah" is a name from the Bible. So are Mary, Sarah, John, Michael.
But my mother just chose "Leah" because she liked it.
"What's your favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers song?"
I can't choose a favorite but I like the albums 「Blood Sugar Sex Magik」 and 「By the Way」 the most
"Do you have a recommendation for things to use in the bath? What kind of shampoo and body soap stuff do you use? (^-^)v
Tell us what body cream [lotion] you use."
I use this a lot.
Clarin's Body Scrub and Tonic
My body cream is Victoria's Secret Body Cream and Benefit Bathina Body Balm ♪(*^ ・^)ノ⌒☆
Since I'm pregnant, I use this on my tummy.
And I love LUSH.
"What ballet shoe brand do you buy?"
This brand is「Onitsuka Tiger」
This brand is「Foundation Addict」
『I'm reading Dragon ball now, Leah-chan, who is your favorite Dragon ball character? ☆』
I like Son Gohan and Piccolo.
"I've been wanting to study English. But when I was a student, my English grades were bad. In other words, it was my poorest subject. (>_<) Do you have any good advice?☆"
If you're serious, getting lessons at an English school is the best way.
"I've made an American boyfriend but my cooking is all Japanese. My boyfriend seems to like it and I want to cook American food for him... But!!
I don't know what is easy and popular (_ _|||) The point is something easy! Not like macaroni&cheese but proper dishes! Is there any...?? (><)"
Hmmm... Actually, in America I've only made dishes for my family (Ｔ▽Ｔ
For my older brothers, they like spaghetti and chicken... mashed potatoes, steak and beef stew. In America now, there's a really popular chef named Rachel Ray who has a show. I recommend that.
"RHCP's John has a Stratocaster, do you have one?"
I don't have a Strat, I have a Telecaster.
"I like NIRVANA, too. What's your favorite NIRVANA song? (・ω・。)"
aaah..
I can't decide (・∀・) Do you know when they released their album "NEVERMIND"???? It was on my 5th birthday!
ヽ(ﾟ◇ﾟ )ﾉ fufu... That has nothing to do with the question. I like "Heart-Shaped Box" or "In Bloom" I guess...
"Leah-chan, do you read books often? Which do you like? If you have a suggestion, do tell! It can be Japanese or American. (*^o^*)"
I can't say I love books in particular but I like reading. My favorites are Catcher in the Rye, Dance Dance Dance, and the Harry Potter series.
"If you fell in love at first sight, would you be able to attack and ask for contact info?"
I'm not the type to fall in love at first sight. I'm too careful, I think. But! If I were the type, I couldn't attack... probably.
Watch and wait...
"To get your figure back after birth, did you buy nippers and girdles yet?"
Not yet but I want to (^-^)/
"I want to write a fan letter to you.
Though you're on maternity leave, do you still get them?
Is Japanese ok? (>_<)"
I'll get them!! I read them thoroughly! Japanese is OK.
"In a magazine, I read that you liked RADWIMPS "Setsunarensa"
Do you still listen to them?"
Yes, I do.
"I bought a PSP recently, do you have any game suggestions?"
I love Katamari Damashii, Tekkenm and the Legend of Heroes series.
Everyone, good luck on your national exams.
[note: That was a long one! About "falling in love at first sight", the term in Japanese is "hitomebore" and from what I've observed, MANY Japanese believe in it. They fall fast and hard in this country. O_o It's kind of ridiculous from my own American POV.]
