Being the insanely organized, timely group that the Japanese generally are, it comes as no surprise that there is a season when all of the calenders come out and it is a BIG DEAL. The calendars are everywhere and there are thousands to choose from. I, who can barely wear a watch, bought a bunch of calendars at Tokyu Hands this weekend just because they were so cool. We got an Astro Boy calendar for Carlos. (see above)
And I got this great "sentence of the day" calendar for our friends Glen and Tina who live here and are trying to learn Japanese. The calendar gives the sentence in English and then Japanese. The sentences are brilliant...
"My stomach is growling" (5/25/08)
"You look pale" (6/26/08)
"These pants are a little tight" (6/27/08)
"Alcohol is a social lubricant" (10/18/08)
"She looks better in real life" (10/30/08)
"Your cheeks are twitching" 4/23/08)
and my personal favorite...
"You look ten years younger in this photo" (1/2/09) Umm... maybe best not to learn that one, Takumi-san.
