Influenza has hit Japan hard at the moment with many people suffering. Days off from work also costs companies money and many are buying masks to protect themselves. When shopping in Tokyu Hands I saw this display corner for influenza protection goods. The full body suit was particularly eye catching. It might seem strange to see people wearing masks on the train right now, but imagine in a few years if we keep getting scared by viri like influenza. We might start seeing people wearing these full body suits on the train as well. That would look funny, but also very scary. I wonder who is buying these right now? What would you do if you saw someone on the train dressed in this fill body suit influenza protector?
