Marikoさんにあいたいです！ (hope this is correct)

Thanks for the びじん Victor, she's very brave!

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Good.

Either

と会いたい

or

に会いたい

Yep, Mariko is a cutie!

うん日本はとても面白いですからやっぱり行きたい

Correct me if I made a mistake （^ω^）

[Gimmeaflakeman]

It's ok... but I would have said.

うん. 日本はとても面白いですね。やっぱり行きたいなー。

In this sentence, から and やっぱり have similar meanings. Another alternative to your sentence is...

うん。日本はとても面白いので、やっぱり行きたい。

うん。日本はとても面白いので、やっぱり行きたい。

Those are MY options. A native friend suggested this...

うん、日本は面白いから行きたい。

Very pretty girls like Mariko in Japan, the weather ( I really love the emphasized seasons in Japan), the TV any day, everything in Japan seems positive mostly (happy and cheerful), I love Japanese food (really...anything, even Yakitori), the culture (community oriented), the music (not just traditional.. all the genres seem to have their own unique style that sets itself apart from the rest of the world eg. Jero), the cleanliness and attention to detail, the country is beautiful, I lived there.

あの～日本が心の中に本当にHOMEですからね。

日本へ行きましたでも帰りたいね～

[nichirenx]

I really need to learn japanese.

Listening to the language in some of the movies really calms my nerves. It is like the flow of it is a song or something.

The People. The Knowledge and culture that flows within Japan. The food, the outstanding innovations in the field of technology, Gaming, and many other things. Things that simply show how amazing it's people are. Truly a paradise ( for some ) worth living in! And Of course, because The Gaming industry is heavily focused in Japan ^^ More Job Oppurtunities, etc.

[nokonoko90]

To study Korean in Chinese characters, while walking around in an AoDai speaking Castillian (Spanish) with a heavy Russian accent, just to annoy the locals.

[MegaDarknero]

@toastybeer You can never watch enough anime.

[toastybeer]

@Cptraktorn me too, oddly... I must be watching too much anime...

[BBoyBlack1337]

Ore wa hentai dakara.

[tokyofreakz]

Because of Mariko! :D
