A rabbit in the headlights?

Many pedestrians were rather taken aback by the rabbit. And I certainly surprised the young lady. But the supposedly timid animal itself simply carried on regardless.

    The expression of the woman on the far right is marvelous.

      Yes. More taken aback by Lee snapping a photo than the rabbit to her right.

        Yeah, she really makes the photograph. You ceetainly know you are in Japan when you draw more attention than a giant rabbit!

      Hmm, that’s a very good point…. the ears are a bit small, aren’t they?

    Perhaps they wouldn’t be so nonchalant if they’d seen “Donnie Darko.”

      Definitely.

      Must admit, I had to look that up. Never heard the word before.

    Bunny! Don’t he or she feel hot inside the mask?
    But I really like the lady expression! I think she look nice in the picture.

      Yeah, it was a warm, sunny day, so I can only imagine how hot it was under the mask.

      Me too. Must admit, I didn’t intend it that way, but I’m happy with the result.

    Mousey hair is more popular than I thought in Japan.

    While bursting out in song: “Dobu nezumi / mitai ni / utsukushiku naritai / shashin ni wa / utsuranai / utsukushisa ga aru kara. Linda! Linda!”

    Sorry, just couldn’t help myself!

      For those puzzled by the reference, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUab1kM2Rmc
      I do love the Blue Hearts and that version of Linda Linda Linda film was okay too. 🙂

    Funny coincidence… You took this near Harajuku, right?
    The rabbit is part of a friend’s project (she helps with costumes, filming and organisation): http://shiawaseya.com/

      Yeah, I took the photo in Harajuku. Small world eh? Nice to know it’s definitely a rabbit!
