I am sure this is correct (in its way), but if I'm not very wrong (let
me know if I am), I belived 'I love you' in Japanese was
   Watakushi wa anata o aishimasu
and pronounced something like: Wata(ku)shi wa anata o aishimas

And if I shall dare to try make this with ASCII-characters, well

       **          
     **     *      *    * 
   ** *    *       *	*
      *    *       *  *****
    ***** *        *    *          watakushi.wa
      *   *  *     *   *
      *  ******    * * *
      *        *   *  * **
      *                   *  

    
      *        *        *          *
    *****    ****       * ***    *****
      *       *   *     *    *     *  
    ******   *    *    ***        *  *       a.na.ta.o
   *  * * *      *      * *  *     ***  
   *  * *    *  *       *  **      *  *
    ****    * **        *         *    
      *      *  ***    *           ****   


    __--     *          *        *
   `  ` '    *        *****     ***
  --------   *          *        *
   ' / ``    *        *****      *           ai.shi.ma.su 
    ------`  *          *       * *
     /  _    *   *     * *       * **
    /`--/-    ***       * ***        *

I hope somebody understands which charcters I am trying to make, and can make
them better (or correct me if I'm wrong). Because I think I wouldn't have
understood what this was saying unless I knew it myself.

So can anyone make this better, so that you actually can recognise the
characters.
