Utsunomiya kigurumin
02/24/2008 @ 12:00 am
While strolling through Utsunomiya Station with the charming and delightful Mrs. JP today, we spotted a pair of real live kigurumin (girls who wear a type of pajama-suit that resembles an animal and sometimes cartoon characters) strolling along off in the distance.
Much to the dismay of Mrs. JP, I was off in a flash, digging my trusty EXILIM digital camera out of my pocket as I trotted through the station. I introduced myself to the girls and they kindly agreed to pose especially for you, dear JAPUNDIT readers.

Ok this makes it official for me.

Harujuku kids but this is too much
for me.
Excellent catch, JP, in finding the kigurumin in their natural element!
February 24th, 2008 at 1:45 amHaha, I hope Mrs. JP wasn’t too embarrassed. Japan is a really unique place, to be sure.

Now go to this site, wiggle around the Yamanote circle and you’ll get the “at-Moose-fear”..perfectly.

February 24th, 2008 at 11:13 pmremora is very strict when it comes to the typos of others.
Not that talented in lining words up into coherent sentences, but a real whiz when it gets down to the individual letter level.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:38 pmEarl, don’t come in and start some crap.
February 25th, 2008 at 8:18 amIt was not a typo. I made a mistake and
Remora corrected me, and I took it in good
cheer.
We are a group united by an interest in
Japan. We should all try to get along a
little better.
These girls are high school kids, right? And they probably don’t have jobs because few schools allow their students to have part-time jobs… so they get their pocket money from their parents… and they buy these “clothes”… and their parents STILL give them pocket money???
February 25th, 2008 at 9:43 amThanks for the link remora, I was thinking about recording the chimes myself when I got back. hah. I’m a baka gaijin I guess :S
