She just really likes pandas.

Lady Gaga came to Japan last week to help raise awareness that Japan is now safe and welcome to visitors. In fact, her first day here she appeared on television, sipped green tea from a china tea cup with "日本の為に祈りましょう！" written on it with a sharpie, and auctioned it off to raise money for the Tohoku region, red lipstick stain and all. Although this woman creeps me out, I must admit I'm grateful for her effort.

But someone should tell her it's not okay to dress up like your dolls. Or dress your dolls like you... either or, it's a bit odd.

halfsies represent!

I'm not a fan of J-pop. But I am a fan of Japanese television. Other than religiously watching Vs. 嵐 and 秘密のあらしちゃん like a manic Jonny's Entertainment fan (which I am not, by the way), I like to keep up with current shows. Partly to improve my Japanese and partly because it's just so god damn funny. One "talent" or television personality that I've liked to follow is ベッキー♡ (Becky, or rather Rebecca, as that is her full name). She's a halfsie, like me, although British instead of American. I remember thinking I didn't belong anywhere, but when I noticed how well she blended in with the Japanese culture, and how much they loved her, I gained some new confidence. So this post is dedicated to her, mainly because she's awesome and party because I have nothing else to blog about but am waiting for the rest of "Something Borrowed" to load and am extremely bored.

 

ps. It's a Hello Kitty themed love hotel. I know, I know. Japan is full of surprises.何か以外と可愛いし。
