I don't have low self esteem.
Sounds like a great idea. Instead of a club we could have a board where we could all learn and discuss the Japanese language.

Actually the board will serve many purposes. First, off-campus conversation between club members could be done here. Second, homework help with several Japanese courses will be done here as well. Third, we can also talk about anything Japanese such as JPOP/ROCK, Dramas, Anime, Manga, etc.
Does anybody know the good ways to generate money for the club (such as selling club shirts, etc.)?

Tokusatsu T Shirts?
Also do you have to be a club member to use the board?
Candy sales were the best fundraisers, or so my friend who helped run our anime club said. They'd tried plenty of things (from car washes to t-shirts) but selling candy at $1 each worked. You know, carry huge bag of candy around, selling on campus. :laugh:
Of course, this was high school... :/

Yeah, you have to be a club member to join the board. So far, I am the only member of the Japanese Club so I have ways to go. You can check out the board here....

I haven't really changed the skin yet because I have no idea how to do it.:bawling:
Actually, thats the first thing that came to my mind (along with selling Onigiri) when toranoko made that candy post. I think normal "white people" candy wouldn't be a good thing to sell as a Japanese Club member but Pocky would be awesome.
I just had a meeting earlier today with my Japanese professor/club advisor and she loved the ideas that I put forth. I also found out that we "might" have some $$$ left from the now defunct old Japanese Club for use to use.:buttrock:
And as for shirts, I would like to sell just regular "UNLV Japanese Club" shirt with some funky/cool design. Maybe a HG thrusting or a Kamen Rider posing design in front of the shirt would be badass.

I think the key is really just getting people together for a picnic outdoors, and at least you can have the spirit of Ohanami even without the cherry trees. There are some imported cherry blossoms right across the street from my dorm, but I think any kind of shady area under some trees could cut it. Usually we just set up mats and eat various foods. In the past I've made Tempura, but it's really bring-whatever-you-want since not everyone knows how to make Japanese food (and I only "know" because I have a Tempura cooker) There's usually some informal games, i.e. frisbee and football, and for most it's just a chance to relax and socialize. It's also usually a good excuse to get all the Japanese teachers to show up and hang out with us, or at least drop by for a little while. Back in April/May I went to a couple parties in Japan, and what I'd do back at school in the US was pretty close. If you want to get really elaborate, you can even do a barbecue and make Yaki-Niku and such.
Obon...hmmm, well I've only done that one in Japan so far. But when I did a report on it for class I demonstrated Bon-Odori (that always gets a reaction :laugh: ) and also talked about making paper lanterns and floating them down a river, which I did do in Japan, and can be a fun little project to try.
