2007の最後の記事だ。

2007は僕にとってはとてもいい年だ。マイクロソフトをやめ、MIRAI株式会社を設立し、このサイトを一日５万人のユニークなユーザーに成長させ、みらいちゃんも誕生させた。2008年もいい年になりそうだ。
2007年以前のリーダーも、2007年にリーダーになった方にも感謝しています。2008年もよろしくお願いします。

このサイトは元JALのエンジニア、アマゾンのウェブサイトマネージャー、マイクロソフトのプロダクトマネージャーそして現在MIRAI株式会社の社長ダニー・チューが書いているブログです。詳しくは彼のプロフィールでどうぞ。
いつも読んで頂いている方はこの挨拶を永遠に閉じよう^^;

Thank you for creating such an amazing blog, for sharing and showing us all this amazing stuff through out these few years! DannyChoo.com is AMAZING. Keep doing what you do best!

For me 2007 has been the year I came out of the closet and start finding friends with similar interest in REAL LIFE. And that leads to our 1st Big Figure display on local anime conventions, in collaborations with my pals :D

It's constantly improving and growing bigger. Wish you good luck at starting your own company. It will be exciting to see how it turns out.

http://www.gubinoblog.eu

I heard about your site at the end of 2006, then started lurking here within the first half of 2007, read more and more of your articles during summer holidays, and finally decided to create my account 2 days ago ^^;

Like the other members, I would also like to say just thanks to you Danny for creating such a great site and constantly trying to improve it, for your informative articles, for sharing your knowledge with others and... dancing in your stormtrooper outfit! :D

It's funny because while looking at the pictures of the article, I just thought to myself "wow the year has passed pretty fast once again..."

I wish a very good New Year's Eve and the best for 2008 to you Danny and to all the members! Cheers! ^^)/口

My area is flooded thus everything has gone wrong (crime rate is on the rise, my uncle's shop has been theft by thieves taking advantage of this chaos), thus I can't say 2007 is a very ideal year for me.

But one thing that I am grateful of is that I joined dannychoo.com!

Thanks for the great site Danny and I hope to have another great year here. ^^

This has been a great site for me since I discovered it a few months ago. I use it as a central place for information about Japanese culture, for anime/otaku news and the humourous posts definitely spice up the experience.
I look forward to the future - Mirai - and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to All.
I found the site while trying to find someone who imports figures to the uk at a reasonable price. I now visit every morning & check again when I get home from work.

P.s. still havent found a good importer.

Casual reader since around January 2006 I think.... you're blog is full of great content and I enjoy reading most of your posts.

Also Danny, I think earlier in the year you mentioned a website that sells figures online, if there is such a website where I can order figures (English please- I can't read katakana T_T) I would greatly appreciate it if you could slip that web address by me- I am getting a job at the university soon and I will be making green! or some kind of colored paper that is good for currency.

Lots of good memories here- I remember a lot of those posts and I think you did an excellent job covering figures this year along with more information regarding daily life in Japan. You're blog is always a joy to read- thanks for stopping by mine ocassionally to read some of my content- to an extent I think it is interesting but I want to step it up in 2008. I can't wait to see some additions to the website! It would be great to meet some new friends here and have some contacts. See you next year-

Rob

you know i cant actually remember when i started visiting???? but it had to be at the start of the year or maybe before. but i remember i stumbled across this site while looking for gunpla within europe (damn i didnt find any) sadly everything had to be bought/sent internationally.

never the less - if i cant build gunpla at least i can come here & keep up to date with whats new as well as make a wish list.

thanks for this amazing site Danny, hope you had a good Xmas & I wish you a happy new year.

Thanks for being the wonderful person you are, because not all people share his life in this way with a lot of "otaku stuff lovers", as we are jeje.

I wish for you a really great new year 2008.

God bless you and all your new projects, Danny.

Greetings from the other side of this World...(Venezuela).
