Norika nuptials

Despite her somewhat advanced age in youth-obsessed Japan, model, actress and all-round celebrity Norika Fujiwara has still managed to cause a media melee of sorts with the announcement of her upcoming marriage to comedian Tomonori Jinnai. After something of a whirlwind romance, the pair are expected to tie the knot early next year, with speculation already rife in regards to what the 35-year-old former beauty queen will wear on her big day.

Many pundits it seems expect Fujiwara-san to opt for a simple and relatively traditional white outfit.

Others however are predicting a more rebellious and risqué approach, quite possibly in red.

Whilst a few have even suggested something completely different altogether, with bold and black rather controversially being banded about.

Her husband-to-be on the other hand will probably wear a suit.

Tranquil time out #14

After numerous failed forays to Fuji in an attempt to get one of those perfect postcard-like pictures — one of which witnessed a group of tourists on a whistle-stop tour of Japan resorting to taking a photo of a photo of the then mist covered mountain — it was finally fifth time lucky, with absolutely wonderful weather.

A pity then that the end results weren’t quite so sublime.

Merely passable.

At a push.

Toasty Tokyo

Like PC processors, USB slippers it seems provide plenty of power in the single variety, keeping toes nice and toasty whilst worn at work.

For heavy-duty users however, the new and improved dual option offers much greater versatility for the wearer, with infinitely better performances when multi-tasking.

A simple upgrade allowing any frosty-footed female the same level of performance whether at the office, working from home, or even when relaxing on the sofa.

Previous issues in connection with over-heating have also been addressed, with any problems regarding prolonged usage easily rectified.

Easing escalator

If the seemingly endless amount of escalators in Tokyo’s busy and bustling stations were as cool and colourful as this one at the MOA Museum of Art, then the morning commute could conceivably be a little more comfortable.

Even calming.

Japanese Jackson

Found yourself forced into a fancy dress party but still struggling to find an outfit?

Or alternatively, as a huge Michael Jackson fan, are you desperate to look as much like the Peter Pan of pop as possible — despite his purported sexual practices?

Because if so — and you happen to be in Tokyo — then look no further than the incredibly authentic costume below. The hat, wig and glasses get-up immediately turning the wearer into the dancing one’s double.

Almost.
