The Portrait of a New Yorker as a young dreamer (2)

Miamo is a crazy Japanese character so in love with reggae music that he spends two weeks out of every year in Jamaica. He is known to be ready to sing a Japanese tune whenever he's challenged at any given time or place and he does it while dancing like a true Rastaman.
He has never had sushi in New York and he finds it impossible to describe Japanese New Years' food in English.
One of his hobbies is reading with a high degree of seriousness any English text including and especially grammar exercises. This is the only time when he becomes Japanesely solemn and that's when he's the funniest.
He's continuously looking for love in the very Italian way of the word.
His mind must be working in film images as his mouth speaks in screenplay cuts as follows:
"My ideal lover would be as ideal as a Coke when you're thirsty. She would love to cook for me, and sing for me and dance with me. After dinner she would wash dishes and I would wipe them thinking I am the happiest man alive."
