Its important in society to have influential friends who can get you SAFs and the like - and also friends who can control the weather for you.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

This item was posted in the Japan category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

Are the people too used to stuff like this in Japan.......
Cause normally a stormtrooper and a priest together should usually be a very unique sight to behold............ But no one in the picture (cept from those two men in front measuring the weight of air) is actually looking at the camera. Or Them. Or Both.

...though I guess that the thought of an old man trying to imitating a loli is much more comforting for our peace of mind than trying to accept that the cute moe loli you've had an eye for was based on a wrinkly old man. x_x"
