It was GLOOMY's 10-year celebration party.
GLOOMY is a pink bear. It looks sooooo adorable but extremely demonic bear.
This is MORI CHACK. He is the creator.
He has a frank personality.
There were tons of his fans.
They were dressed fashionably!

What's "Norakuro"?
Norakuro is a famous Japanese manga character that was serialized from 1931 to 1981 written by Suihou Tagawa.
Norakuro stands for NORA (homeless ) KURO (black dog).

This one is a little bit scary!! (￣▽￣；)!!ｶﾞｰﾝ
It's one of most popular perennial manga characters in Japan.
Even now, over 80 years after the first appearance,a variety of goods related to it are on sale.

Jim-bei☆
Looky,looky!! The cute girls!! :D
They were wearing super cute outfit!!
They're called "Jim-bei" .
They look like "Kimono" or "Yukata" but a little bit different from them.
What's the difference between "Kimono" and "Jin-bei?"
"Jin-bei" is a kinda suit.
So it's a separates.
They're loosely-fitted , don't have any annoying "obi" or something,use a breathing cloth.
So they're perfect for Japanese muggy summer.
Recently a variety of patterns of Jin-bei are sold at many shops.
I'd like to get one!! :D

Crane machines
I went to a game arcade last Saturday.
It was fun!
There were a lot of fun games!
I think the most popular are crane machines.
Crane machines in Japan are AMAZING!!
You can get stuffed toys,cushions,key chains,,, even goldfish!! Wow!!
Almost all stuffs are limited product.
So,you can only get hold of them from the machines.
They look creepy-cute!
Finally,I got the cute stuffed toy!

Japanese fashion magazines
In recent years, many magazines add eco-bag as a free gift in Japan.
Due to slow sales in the publish industry,it's one of the effort to insure customer satisfaction.
But is it really necessary thing for it?
Coz,ya know,I buy many kinda fashion magazines to obtain information from either internal or external sources.
I think I get 10 or fewer Japanese magazines a month.
So, which means that I can get a number of eco-bags a month.
Initially,I was exciting for the premium.
But now,I'm fed up with that.
I don't need eco-bags anymore.
So it's not ecologically friendly product any more.
I think the most important thing is to improving the information content for magazines.
They've been neglecting it.
I think they're sort of lost,,
The premiums get more gorgeous and gorgeous,but on the contrary,the magazines get thinner and thinner... sigh.. :(

Yukata
Now that the rainy season is drawing to a close,
I'm in the mood for love,,
NO!! Just kidding!! ;p
I'm in the mood for getting a new Yukata (a traditional Japanese summer garment.)
Ya know,Yukata are one of the seasonal charms of summer in Japan.
Recently modern Yukata designs have been popular among young women.
It's cheaper and easier than Kimono when you wanna enjoy Japanese style.
We can find a variety of patterns of Yukata from various clothes shops.
Every summer,almost all magazines feature the Yukata trend.
Hmm,what Yukata shall I wear this summer,, ;)

A Big Poo-poo!!!!!
Looky,looky!! There's a big poo-poo in the sky!!!
Just kidding!!
It's one of famous tourists' favourite places called
"Super Dry Hall" in Asakusa.
The Golden rectangle building on the left is the
headquarters of Asahi Breweise ,Ltd.
It's a metaphor for a glass of beer with head.
The odd-poo-poo-shaped object is a metaphor for
golden flame called " Flamme d'or."
They were designed by Philippe Starck.
There're many restaurants and cafes inside of the building.
You can enjoy nice coooooold local brew beer that is arrived
direct from Asahi's beer factory.
Hooray!!!!
That cold beer is just the thing on a hot day!!
