Yeah, I totally don't know where Pokemon is going right now.

I gave a presentation on Japanese culture today in class and I included a section on street and lolita fashion. I think I blew everyone's previous Japan stereotypes away.

What stereotypes? And what did you do?

That everyone walks around in geisha outfits watching pokemon and eating nothing but raw fish sweatdrop . Not so much stereotypes but I introduced them to all the interesting things in Japanese culture (and I did do my research wink ) that they probably didn't know about.

I take it you told them about manga cafes in Japan. They must have all started gaining interest at that point.

A manga cafe is a place in Japan like a bookstore except it has manga that you could read. There are also computers there and free food. The food is included in your $4-5 entrance fee. If you want, you could stay there all night too. You know how many times I wished for that while at my favorite bookstores?

Pokemon still airs on TV (Though there's like 485783576 different pokemon now, and totally different characters... and Ash has a different VA... as do team rocket), there's still Pokemon leagues, and they still sell the cards.

I remember back when it first came out in... what was it, 97... 98? My husband and I had been waiting for it to be released in America and we went crazy buying cards and watching the series every time it aired. sweatdrop I even because a trainer at a local pokemon league. gonk I am such a dork. But yeah, in late 2000 I think it was... I stopped collecting the cards and watching the series... when I see the plushies and shows now I am utterly confused...

Wow. I am really really scared right now :/ Western toy and game creators would give their right arm to have that sort of lasting power.

BTW does anyone around here actually sew, or just buy their fashion?

[Obito]

Did I mention that there would be people with t-shirts saying, "Kiss me, I'm gaijin!" in Japanese? gonk

We have a maid café here. The food is pretty good and the interior design is quite nice.

When I went, there were some white people sitting behind me complaining that the maids weren't Japanese. Wtf neutral

My friend wants to open a lolita café eek

'kay I really go to sleep now.

Oh I thought most of the people at the maid café would be like that, but it's mostly young Asian teens ....

I sew some of my stuff.

Obito - No one would wear that to a cosplay cafe o.O;

Avis-yam - ... I guess those were Japanophiles sweatdrop A lolita cafe sounds cute.

What is a maid cafe? Do people dressed up as maids come and serve you? Or is it like a hostess bar?
