It's nearly our 10th Anniversary!

Since 2005, asianbeat has been bringing you daily updates on all the latest trends in Japan. "asianbeat" is a platform for the youth of Asia where pop culture including pop music, anime, manga, games, fashion, cuisine, art and theater, and even event information are broadcast through a multilingual Web site to deepening mutual understanding.

Time has passed very quickly and seeing as we are nearing our 10th Anniversary, we’d like to do something special to celebrate both asianbeat and our readers with our new special feature: "Send in your asianbeat Stories!" We’d like to thank all of the readers that have stuck with us and hope that you will continue your journey with us!

For those of you who send in their anecdotes, we will hold a prize draw and lucky winners will be receiving presents from asianbeat, so be sure to hurry and get your stories in☆
