Yankee I Love You -- A New Japanese Social Network

The sharpshooters over at Rocket News 24 have uncovered a new social network in Japan called “Yankee I Love You.”  Despite the connotations of its name, the network is not about loving American foreigners in Japan, but is rather all about Japanese delinquent youth, who are called “Yankees” in Japan.  These are likely some of the images you’ve seen here and there of Japanese people with bleach blonde hair or baggy gangster clothing, and now they’ve got their own network where they can exchange ideas.

The network is a combination of a blog and social network, and has a MySpace like layout, with large profile photos, customizable, flashy imagery and a whole lot of profile information in one place.
