I can't believe

Fundoshi is a kind of traditional Japanese guys' underwear. Like Wiki says, it used to be the main form of underwear for Japanese adult males, but nowadays, Japanese guys wear fundoshi only during Japanese festivals. Actually, I have never seen fundoshi or someone wearing fundoshi in my life. However, as of a few days ago, a new type of fundoshi for girls called pandor shorts became a popular topic on TV and on the Internet. Here it is｡ﾄYahoo! Shopping picked it up and I can find some blogs that wrote about it, but I still can't believe someone would wear this....I could never wear it.

The Tokyo Anime Center will start their "Akiba Spot Guide" service this summer until August 20^th, it will be offered in English and Chinese. Get an English map at the Gamers Shop first and then visit the center. TIJ may be an Akiba tour too. I hope they are helpful.

Tomorrow is the release day of "SIREN New Translation." I gave up on watching the trailer after 15 seconds. Of course, the location of SIREN, "Hanyuda village," is a fictional place. As a promotion, Sony made a "real Hanyuda village" and set up a camera with a LIVE feed. And you can see something happening on the LIVE camera sometimes. Here are some videos: "Hanyuda village on another camera", check out the 6th video, inside a mirror on the right side.

Those girls fundoshi are really ugly, aren't they?? And they look like diapers for babies!

I did see men in fundoshi at the sanjya matsuri in Tokyo. I also saw a very strange hakujin in fundoshi (and no other clothes) in Shinjuku-nichome during the Gay Pride festival.

I really hope the Fundoshi take off as a girls fashion item this summer! ;>)
