kenleewrites in 日本

Saw this poster at the subway in Roppongi. Seems to be a limited edition kinda thing. Don’t know how long it’ll last. Must admit, I like the purple.

Saw this ad at the subway station.「こっちのバナナは骨がある」。It reads “this banana has bone”. Loads of innuendo? Or is it just me? ^^.

ps. 骨 (hone) in Japanese can also mean ‘backbone/spirit/fortitude’. But I’m probably not thinking straight.

http://job.mynavi.jp is a Japanese site for students looking for work after graduation. 就職活動. Syu syoku katsu dou. Job hunting. Four big words which might prove difficult for most this year. And Otsuka Ai, 大塚　愛, is a popular j-pop singer. Took this photo near the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Hence the 東工大 reference in the poster. There’s something weird about this poster though. My eyes saw it immediately. Can you find it?

How about a closer look?

This is what happens when you give birth to octuplets. You’ll need one of these to bring them out for a stroll. ^^. Nursery children are taken out for a walk by their teachers early in the morning.

How about we take a look at some of the graffiti one can find while taking a stroll in Shibuya? Some are stickers, some are scribbles, but some really complement their surroundings. Others just answer hard life questions like “Can I have an AT-AT walker as a pet?”.

One thing I have yet to figure out though, is when does all the graphic work get done…
