I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a normal girl who dreams of making the world a better place through animation musicals. Many peopple know me as "mari/usagi/mizuki"( my stage name) But to the children of japantown, the bay area and mexico I am " sailor moon nechan" ( big sister sailor moon). The reason is that in April 2007 I started a group called Animemyu.The group dresses as the characters from "Sailor moon" (A manga written by Naoko takeuchi). And then sings to the children in the audience. Animemyu is non-profit that is we make no money form the shows, We make costumes and we pay for them ourselves. We have been very lucky that "Japan video and media" sponsor us with a sound equipment during our presentations. The presentations are done free of charge so that everyone can enjoy seeing a musical. To me this is very important because this sometimes is the only musical experience that a child will have. I truly enjoy being "sailor moon" ,one thing I will never forget is a little girl who came after the show and with her eyes wide open and smiling .. she said to me "Sailor moon, after watching your show, I want to be like you.. I want to help my friends and make children smile like you made me smile today" she then gave me a hug , took a picture with me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Many people ask me why I keep playing sailor moon and my answer is " the children". I feel that being sailor moon for the children is important , it gives them hope and a chance to think about and help others. My dream is to become a kind of "friendship bridge" between japan the united states and mexico and then to the world ^_^.I love learning languages, currently I speak spanish, english and a little japanese ^_^ Since english is not my first language, I always make many mistakes. Yet, I love writing it, because I can communicate with people all over the world. ^_^.School? I am majoring in japanese culture and language as well as in Asian American Culture.USAGI HAS APPEARED IN THE FOLLOWING ^_^: NIPPON TV show : Mokusupe 1/24/08 a 2 hour special broadcast about cosplay and otaku.
