3 more weeks, and a quick jump to Osaka
Posted November 29th, 2009 by Mitsu
I was out and about in Shibuya and I hear a truck passing blasting music. This is a really common way for musicians to advertise themselves in Japan. Ne-Yo and Enimenem also had trucks blasting their music when their records hit Japan. But I turn to see this!
Their video has gotten 240,000+ views which livedoor says is good. This is from their “mini-album” Love on the Street. Time will tell on their staying power. Although this is absolutely not what I want for my Men’s Egg Night ^_^;;;
Weekend fun
Friday day after classes I headed to 109 to pickup my Lip Service roomwear + Betty Boop dress. I also got an adorable set from One*Spo <3
Onward, ho!
I am soon to be ending my stay in Japan. I head back to Houston on December 17th for a while. At least until Summer if not until Fall. I’m sad of course, because I love the shopping, the style, my daily grind and my good friends here. However, I love my man and miss my animals. Also, Texas is a pretty damn awesome place.
When people in the US and Japan ask me if I like living here, I find I can’t give a simple yes/no answer anymore. It’s a whole lot more complicated than that. Without going into a 8 paragraph discussion on it, I will simply say those who think Japan is OMGYAYPONIEZHARAJUKUAWEZOMMMEZ have not lived here for a long time.
Japan just isn’t the endgame for me. My man works in the States and I would like to be a college professor and going to graduate school happens in America. I do plan to go back to teach English in Japan for a while before actually starting graduate school, but the rules will definitely change since as a working stiff my ability to do several gal fashion trends that I like will be limited (weekend gal love). So right now, ignoring the hardships of living here, is a really special time for me to enjoy and dress for myself the way I want to present myself.
Of course I will continue to report on gal fashion and I have way too many saved posts on genres that I need to step-up and post ^_^; At most it will just be six months until I move back here, so only directly shopping for Spring will escape my grasp ^_^;;
I will be away in Osaka for 2 days this week, I just can’t seem to stay away. <3
…that is all

lol I've seen that PV before and homg xDD I laughed. Okey I'm absolutely in love with Ayumu but the dude singing…no,just no. The only really good singer there is the guy with the hat. The others don't have any unique sounding voices.
enjoying the nostalgia:3 is it really rare these days to see gals sitting on the streets and doing the make-up?
You're completely right – different countries present different opportunities. It's amazing, most people I know would not only kill to be in your shoes, but would want nothing more than to stay in Japan all their lives. However, you know what you REALLY want, and that's grad school, working as a professor, and being with your man. I admire your fortitude and wish you well. (I personally am not too keen on grad school though, but yay for Houston = 1, Japan = 0. XD) Finally, have fun in Osaka! :3
I agree with Ligaya 109%. Knowing what you want is this most important thing of all. For the longest time I thought I would like to teach English in Japan for a couple of years at a time, but then I realized that I would have difficulty doing so. I can visit there and would love to go again some day, but I don't think I could stay more than a month or two.
Anyway, about the PV…hilarious! I've never been a fan of boybands, so I wouldn't say that they're my thing, but I love their look. I love gyaru-o for sometimes looking like fabulous, walking STDs.
"In this pic it does look a bit like 4 twinks and their leather daddy."
I burst out laughing at that comment~
ITS SO TRUE~ XDD
Yeah, I love me some Ayumu and Yuki butt….I was not impressed at all~ :\
Love your make~! :33
The cat with hat have a funny face xDDDDDDDD
Oh you are going back to American in December, I will just miss you! I am arriving in Japan at the end of December, I was hoping we could shop together haha>< Maybe in the future!~
Have a wonderful time in Osaka, please post a lot of photos ^^!
That video is so sad when you're used to Korean boybands. XD I love all your looks in this post, that roomwear really does look super comfortable. I wish I could find something stylish and comfortable to wear around the house. Being a housewife can be so un-stylish sometimes. >_<
Aww, basset hound! I have two of them myself. <3
The dudes sound a bit bland and the music itself doesn't sound any different from the dime-a-dozen male R&B/Pop acts on the market right now. I guess the only thing setting them apart is the fact that they (and by that I mean the majority of them) are hard-core ikemen types.
Also, good luck in the US! I know what you mean when you say that people who say that Japan is all fun and matcha icecream and fashion and ponies haven't lived there recently. I was gushing about Japan a little while ago, then I remembered about some of the really crappy times I had there. But hey, there's no such place as heaven on earth, right?
OMG! I love the cat hat! I'm going to buy one XDXD
