The two of them are currently on their way to Kyoto, where I'll hopefully meet them tomorrow morning if I manage to finish yet another essay...

Hi,
I'm a staff member at Nipponster.com and I'm contacting you because we're interested in helping Japan-related websites like yours (as part of our mission to organize and enhance the Japan-related content available online).
We'd like to work with you to help promote and enhance your site. We have tools and are developing tools to help you (some of which are listed below). All free of charge. Please let us know what you think and feel free to talk to us about it and any other ideas you may have.
1) Nipponster search engine is the Japan enthusiast's search engine. Have you ever felt that it's difficult to find specific Japan related info on general search engines like google? Nipponster makes it possible. And now you can put the Nipponster search box on your own site to Give Your Users Japan-related Search Results.
2) Nipponster toolbar. You can get your blog listed on our browser toolbar:
(all we ask is that you put a link to the toolbar on your website)
-that will but your site before your readers and our users 100% of the time (and make it just a click away)
-give them great Japanese language tools and entertainment (live TV and radio).
We know it is difficult to learn and maintain Japanese. The toolbar makes it easier. You can watch live Japanese TV or listen to radio, listen passively to Japanese lessons via Internet radio while surfing the net and practice flashcards for kana and kanji. And you can listen to what is happening in Tokyo with the metropolis podcast and kook up words and translate text using the Jim Breen and rikai buttons.
To take advantage of these, Check Out http://www.jpnx.com/php_izabi/PHPizabi_0.415b_R3/?L=cms./feedback.partner_form
Looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Tori
p.s. Nipponster.com is run by a group of foreign exchange and international students (current and former) studying at Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan.
