My name is Emi Haneko Adams, a 26-year-old 4th generation American, half-Japanese on my mother's side and half-American on my father's side. My parents met at USC in the 1970s while my mother was an exchange student. With my "hapa" (half-Japanese) features, I was sought after during my teens and early 20s as a popular model in Japan, Hawaii, and California....
One of the jobs I had in university in Oceanview was in the campus fitness center. It was a nice enough place, and the other staffers were all pretty friendly to me. Sometimes, though, I'd have to work late, and I'd missed the last bus home. Luckily, my friend Satomi lived on campus, and she often let me sleep in her room, so I wouldn't have to take a taxi o...
So there was this one night when Futoshi took the whole group of us to a real dance club. Futoshi and Kenta were my boyfriend Ryosuke's friends. Asuna was Ryosuke's girl cousin, and Satomi our friend. The six of us were Japanese exchange students all studying at Oceanview U. on the coast in southern California. In Japan, they don't have high school dances o...
I think this was like in my sophomore year at Oceanview U. in southern California. Christmas rolled around, and I went home to Japan. One of the people I wanted to see was my cousin, Namie. I mainly see her on special occasions, but she's always been nice to me, and we're kind of friends. She's older than me, and married now, but to me at least, she's one of...
In 2415 the Unified Earth Naval Forces vessel the Ithaca was ambushed by three rebel destroyers while on a routine patrol mission between two UENF controlled planets. A well armed Phoenix class Frigate, the Ithaca put up a fight but was ultimately overpowered when two additional rebel ships jumped into the fight. Badly damaged the Ithaca was forced to make a...
Hi. My name is Emi. I'm just finishing up my first year at a small liberal arts college in southern California. I'm originally from Japan, but I've been to the States many times with my family, and for the last year and a half, I have been living here on my own. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do in the future, but right now I'm really enjoying living...
The other day, I sent out a letter telling how my boyfriend and I had ... well, you know, been fooling around in the park, and how one thing led to another, and I ended completely naked there in the forest in broad daylight. That was the first time that Ryosuke and I had ever ... um ... made love, I guess, so I was pretty happy, but I was also worried that w...
Recently, I met a woman named Reiko. Like me, she was born in Japan, and is studying at Oceanview U. I got drafted to work on this project for school with her, and she invited the group of us to come over to her house, so we could get to know each other. We met at a cafe near her house—Prof. Olgren, a nice older lady who worked in Japan when she was young, m...
Emi coughed as the whiskey left a scorching trail down her throat. The bartender, dressed in plaid, gave her a knowing look. "Don't take many shots, do you?" he said with a smirk. She frowned and slid the glass back over the glossy black top of the bar. It rankled her, but she still passed him a few crumpled bills as a tip. Her eyes returned to the sheet of...
My name is Peter. For the last few years I've been living in Japan in a small town near Tokyo. I live alone and I have a good life over here, there are few things that I miss from England and those I have learned to mostly live without. The one thing that I still do miss is going to naturist beaches. In Japan there is nothing equivalent to that. There are on...
