Hello!こんにちは ( hello in japanese)여보세요(korean)你好 (chinese) anything about Asia! it could be Songs, Anime, Dramas, Mangas, Actors, Actresses, Movies, Etc.

Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent. It covers 8.6% of the Earth's total surface area (or 29.4% of its land area) and, with almost 4 billion people, it contains more than 60% of the world's current human population. Chiefly in the eastern and northern hemispheres, Asia is traditionally defined as part of the landmass of Eurasia – with the western portion of the latter occupied by Europe – lying east of the Suez Canal, east of the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian and Black Seas. It is bounded to the east by the Pacific Ocean, to the south by the Indian Ocean, and to the north by the Arctic Ocean. Given its size and diversity, Asia – a toponym dating back to classical antiquity – is more a cultural concept incorporating a number of regions and peoples than a homogeneous physical entity

Asia is the largest continent in the world by a considerable margin, and it is rich in natural resources, such as petroleum forests, fish, water, and metal.

Asia rocks Honorable members!:
Animeerushii-Chan (creator)
She's the creator of Asia Rocks. If it wasn't for her Asia Rocks wouldn't have been created. She took 4 hours editing the group... it takes a while to do it. Find the food and stuff. We don't live in Asia so it's tough!
