    Nice. Reminds of that show densya otoko that was on tv so many years ago.

    I don’t get it. He made the effort to go out an buy flowers, but then dressed like that! 😉

      Maybe that’s him also making an effort fashion wise!

    Lee its a pretty foolish show. This picture is actually really interesting to look at. The people in the background look so happy and fashionable compared to this fellow. It looks like they made fun of him and he is running away.

      That’s good to know.

      Interesting. Glad you see so much in it. He certainly made for an interesting sight. I liked the surroundings too. A nice contrast to his brightly covered flowers.

    Well done on buying flowers, Oji-san. Just… y’know, hold them upright. Poor flowers. 😛

      I know, he’s gone to so much effort, and yet at the same time he seems totally disinterested.

    Let’s hope he has a winning personality.

    On the other hand, I have yet to go on a date–blind or eyes wide open– where my date actually brought flowers. He’s a keeper in my book.

    Great picture. I like how he’s coming out of a tunnel and into the light.

      Yes, can’t fault his effort. Not in the slightest.

      Thanks. I just turned the corner and he was there, giving me just enough time to get the shot.

    “Sweet dreams are made of this
    Who am I to disagree?”
    ..on shamisen of course.

    This does make the idea of a paid for delivery more tempting.

      It does. But then it lacks the personal touch I suppose.

    The day you took this photo didn’t happen to coincide with Mother’s Day? Everything seems to be wrong for a romantic date, but visiting your Mum in casual clothes is of course perfectly okay 🙂

      Very nice idea, but nah, afraid not. So presumably a date, albeit a casual one!
