  • Artist Info: Hi, everyone! <br />
    <br />
    Firearcheryumi here, but you can just call me Fire or Yumi. I like hanging with my friends, reading stories, watching anime, games, sports, and magic tricks. <br />
    <br />
    I currently live in Japan, but I've spent most of my life in the States. I can speak Japanese fairly well since I speak it at home all the time. I can also speak English and some Spanish, so I'm more or less trilingual. I'm interested in learning other languages as well. I'm especially fascinated by etymology. <br />
    <br />
    I really love the sights and sounds of Japan. It's a good cultural experience for me after so many years staying in one place. One big difference between life in Japan and life in America is that I've ridden the train more times in a week than I ever have during my entire stay in the States. The railway is a big mode of transport here. <br />
    <br />
    Anyways, I hope I'll get to know you guys better. I'm excited about learning more about this site and the other Gaians. <br />
    <br />
    And now, to quote a friend, "Cya when I cya!" ^_0<br />
