Ga-gaaan


Perhaps manga fans are familiar with these Japanese language onomatopoeias, gaan, ga-gaan that show strong shock, awe (or disappointment).

I know I'm so behind, but that's how I feel about Lady Gaga lately - struck by a mix of flashlights and rainbows altogether.

By the way, the phrase 'gaga over gaga' had nearly 40 million Google results so far.

Lady Gaga を聴いていると、
自分の中から
パンクな自分がはじけ出てくる感じ!

Rear Window


There's no privacy. No voyeurism either.
What we've got here in Yanaka is casual window-to-window Hi! with neighbors.

たばこ、嫌。
が、ロゴ/フォントに自由のない世界はもっと嫌、むしろ怖い:

... 例えばもし明日 
日本が「丸文字星人」の奇襲を受け
占領下において、「全ての書物は丸文字表記」が強制されたとしたら??

Ms. Piranha


Foreign word in a Japanese dictionary that is the closest to my family name.
I wonder if there's anyone who, as a way to easily memorize my name, associates me with the sharp-toothed Amazon fish.
