Addiction

Ameba Pigg, provided by a Japan based blog system named アメバー, is a online simulated Japan social platform where you can communicate with people from around the world (but mostly Japan residents) .
Initially, you have your own room, with two chairs and one table, furniture and decorations(windows and floor) in your room are switchable.*

Basically starting with several clothing.
(white, gray and black shirts and pants;
two or three pairs of shoes; 3 glasses and a watch)

After decide all your presentation, you can step out side the room, join the community chat with others and have fun.
There are many choices such as Yoyogi-kōen, Shibuya(106), Asakusa and high school.
There are also some shops at these places, you can buy some clothing and furniture(some shop sales actions like dancing,slide and emotions like laugh).
However, you got to have Ame Gold to shop. For Ame Gold you have to pay for real money through cell phones or a bank account. It's much easier if you lived in Japan.

Well, I don't. I am using a free account, but it's fine.
Once you connect to other users they might give you sort of a signature, or visit your room and ring your bell these will increase your Ame account.
For now, I only know that Ame can enable you to play a scratch card game.
Scratch Card Game enable users play with 20 Ames a day only.
For a free account user this is a way to gain fancy clothing and furniture.

Anyway. there are some clubs there, everything.
(I joined western rock club and Perfume club, there are even naked club, members are always wear underwear only )

I joined Ameba Pigg only a week, and my Japanese is not good at all, but you can somehow meet several people using English.
I met people speak English by the first time playing Pigg.
They are mostly from Japan.
I am on the left
At the time we all changed into mini size and stand in line on the bench at Yoyogi park. Silly and funny.
