| "Russian" bread in Japanese stores |
Today is the 1st of December.....Phew....I feel that we just celebrated New 2012 Year.....The end of the year is time to think about what has been done, what not...What to do next year....I ve been so busy all this year..I even cannot understand whether it was long year full of events, people, changes or not.....I guess I am happy .I kind of grew a bit in professional plan. Had a number of projects I handled by myself.Became more independent..But still have a lot to learn about Internet ...(what to say...it is still difficult for me to edit this blog in HTML Source view..which is rather shame who one who has been working as Web Director for the whole 2 years already....fuck..2 years..It seems I joined this company just yesterday)....
Here is one of new faces of Japanese fashion and my crush these months- Kiko Mizuhara (shot from latest DAZED&CONFUSED mag featured Nicola Formichetti)...She also played Midori in "Norwegian Wood"..very cute.
For Halloween I bought pomade...and still have the whole can.. sometimes doing pomp on weekends )...looking maybe like fagot doing "rockabilly" but whatever...
Also discovered ASOS - amazingly cheap prices and fast shipping to Tokyo...bunch of good street brands...Clothes as everything else is so expensive here...All Saints is also good..

| Kin-dza-dza (Russian poster) |
...Oh yes...Finally I watched this old-old Russian movie "Kin-dza-dza" ("Кин-дза-дза!" 1986). It seems people here know about it more than Russians - at least I could easily found VHS in Shibuya Rental Store..SF comedy with a lot of hints on modern society with race discrimination, social problems...But very light..I guess it was very experimental film for Soviet cinematography at that time and as a result it was not accepted well (I don't even remember it is being broadcasted on TV). But movie is good and Leonov who played Wef is so nice actor, I recalled so many his roles in the movies I watched when was a kid..He was Soviet Danny DeVito for us....
People around have been posting about new James Bond movie "Skyfall" all day long so I could not resist and bought ticket for late show...
Yep.....Also went to the Hip-Hop dance battle here recently....Felt a bit shy surrounded by all these people "swagging", saying "Yeah, man Yuji just killed these motherfuckers"....Japanese dancers are one of the most amazing dancers in the world for sure...In the country with the lowest level of crimes and where you cannot find any "ghetto" they feel this musics and background of this culture, and dance amazing hip-hop (the more country side they come from - somewhere like Ibaraki- the more old-school style they perform) ...I think it is great national ability of Japanese - they are very good at understanding such nuances of different cultures and adapt them, interpret them from their retrospective..(not sure if I use the last word correctly)/
New Year is coming....Getting cold
Bought tickets to Thailand- should make last reservations and arrangements
