For about 10 years now I have had a great interest in all things Japanese and about five and a half years ago I started studying Japanese at a local private school and a few months later decided to create a place online where I can share my interests and get help with my study of the Japanese language. Five years later my Japanese hasn’t improved much (I need to change that) but my blog has grown from strength to strength especially in the last 12 months.
Dreams coming true and some favourite posts
After putting things in motion last year so that I would realise my dream of visiting Japan, things are looking up nicely and it will be a few short months until I set foot in Japan as Operation Visit Japan is it it’s later stages. I have created many posts covering the various topics I blog about in the last 12 months but some of my favourites in chronological order include:
- JR Yamanote Line Departing Melody Keychains
- For the Love of Photography and Friends
- 10 year old Jamaipanese vs the Ram Goat
- Beware of Jiggling Sumo Tits and Broken Wear
- Jamaica Pegasus Hosts Successful Tweetup
- Anime Nation 2010 a Success
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – Anime Review
- Oh My God! I Killed L!
- 6 Nostalgic Anime Openings from the 90’s
- Photos from Somerset Falls, Portland Jamaica
- Genki Sudo’s World Order Album Music Videos
- 15 Free Japanese Learning Apps for Android
- Erin’s Challenge! – Online Japanese Resource
- Chibi Gundam Exia has fallen in Battle
- Japanese Culture and Calendar Exhibition 2011
- Japan are 2011 Asian Cup Champions

Anime related posts like my Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood review are super popular
Visitor Statistics overview
According to Clicky January 2010 to January 2011 saw a 25% increase in visitors and Jamaipanese.com had over 270,000 unique visit during that period which works out to around 750 per day. Firefox remains the most popular browser with my readers, with Internet Explorer very close behind and Google Chrome (my new browser of choice) seeing a significant increase in users. Not surprisingly my anime related posts continue to be very popular and my posts related to photography have stired so much interest I decided to dedicate an entire category just for photography related posts.
Things to look out for
It goes without saying that my upcoming trip to Japan will be the highlight of the upcoming year, I am planning to share every detail of my visit with my readers from the second I step off the plane. Video will be one of the main ways I will sharing this year so I’d advise my readers to subscribe to the Jamaipanese.com Youtube Channel if you haven’t done so already. Remember that Unicorn Gundam model I acquired last year? I am close to completing it and I am sure my Gundam loving readers would like to have an opportunity to win one right?
