@jaderdavila: Thanks. I do like it a lot. SP was shot by Emi though, not by me. ^ _ ^
Unfortunately, Emi seems to be too busy with her studies to regularly comment here… I hope she can chat with you more often again soon!

It’s super personable and smart. He’s extremely comfortable, won’t get sick, (hopefully), and has a place to carry everything.
Not to mention the best ring I’ve seen in years!!

@petitesam: Japanese people usually wear masks when they are already sick. The idea is that when you catch a cold, you don’t pass it on to others.

@Kjeld: If only the rest of the world was that courteous! You’d get stared at wearing a mask anywhere in North America :(

Haha. You don’t get stared at for wearing a mask in NA(Canada specifically), especailly not during these times of ‘pandemics’. I haven’t given someone a second look for wearing a mask in about 10 years.

@golightly: You will feel at home in Japan. ^ _ – Japanese friends who were in the US during last year’s Mexican Flu scare told me how surprised they were that so few people wear masks. So you can imagine how many people were wearing them here. I wrote a story about it at the time with a slideshow showing some of the photos that I took in Kobe. Masks everywhere you look!

That is one sick outfit, I love Casette Playa! I also like the cartoon influence :) and the colours. It’s funny how his hair matches his shirt :D

As soon as I saw the pic I screamed Casette Playa. I love Carri Munden’s stuff. I love his look.

@Lisette: Yes, this is indeed Shunpei Kodera. Very observant! I have changed Shunpei’s internet name on this page to his real name, so it is more clear.
