I would argue that google is more of a "starting point" than a "destination."

I lived in Fuse for 3 years and, honestly, it is a pretty shady part of Osaka. It's also known as the purse-snatching capital of Japan.
That's an unfortunate story.

Individually, I don't find any of these girls particularly attractive. However, as a group, they make for one nice fantasy.
I guess this is a good example of a case where the whole is worth more than the sum of its parts.
Nice pic JT.

If I walked into our Tokyo head office wearing that, they would escort me out the back door and send me home. We have a policy of "hot, stuffy biz" where we turn EVERYTHING off but the lights and everyone must wear the requisite ossan-style suit and tie regardless of the weather.

Wow. It's really been 10 years. I remember this incident because it happened right around my first time visiting Japan as an international student. It sticks in my mind because Utada Hikaru re-wrote the song "Distance" into a slower version with an extra verse and named it "Final Distance" in memory of the victims. Hearing that song still gives me chills and brings me back to that time.

Looks like Hachiko-mae on a Sunday morning. The streets will be clear in 30 seconds.

It looks like they're holding Pan Am Airlines bags. That company has been out of business for more than 20 years. However I see the logo from time to time in "trendy" parts of Osaka.

I'd hate to pass judgment on this man without first seeing the pictures in question.
Pictures please!

The caption refers to the two as “companion girls," however the proper term is "campaign girls" (as in "marketing campaign" or "promotional campaign" ).
Thanks for the refreshing pic JT. Keep 'em coming!

I truly wish her the best. She seems like a very cool and wacky (in a good way) person.
I remember listening to her first album over and over and over again on my MD player as a college student. She's part of the reason that my listening comprehension exploded early on in my Japanese language study. To this day I can't listen to First Love without getting misty-eyed recalling the final episode of the JDrama Majo no Joken.
She should lay low, leave Japan and see as much of the world as possible. She is entering a time of great personal growth. I'm happy for her, but I already miss her.

Am I the only one who notices that most of the photographers in this pic are taking this opportunity to switch batteries or memory cards before someone really "famous" hits the carpet?

This is guaranteed to bring out all the dreadlock + head rag j-chicks with nose rings.

I estimate that half of the helmets and balls he signed in that pic will end up on eBay by the end of the day.
Growing up in LA, you can always spot a hick from out of town when they harass a celebrity for an autograph. Lame.

Don't be fooled by NASA's sudden diversity in space. The space shuttle Discovery has exactly two missions remaining before it (and the entire space shuttle fleet) is permanently discontinued in September. The Space Shuttle Program has been around for almost 30 years and this is probably the first time NASA has launched this diverse a crew (by gender, ethnicity and nationality). I'm sure they're sending a very capable crew into space, but I can't help wondering whether or not this is a deliberate matchup for PR purposes. A little late if you ask me.

If these girls are really eating donuts everyday, they must be purging them immediately afterwards. Can you imagine how fat Miss Krispy Kreme would look in the US?

Wow. I guess fashion is cyclical. During my 3 years on Osaka between '03 and '06, most j-chicks wouldn't be caught dead in shoes that exposed their toes (except for getas in the summer).

Smart move for Disney. They're just wrapping up the final season of Lost on Oahu and now they can just sart shooting the next Pirates film without having to run power or set up trailers and equipment.
