wild  sexy  fun  japan what the other guys won't show you...in bite-size bits, like sushi.

 

Melly Rocking Christmas!!!

from many of us at japandemic!

see you all in the 2010...stay safe.

p.s. there is actually a guy in this band but he fcked up, among other things, the symmetry of the shot. so we cut him out.

 Regularly scheduled programming starts here:

In a moment of High Art-Faggery, I photo documented my walk along the Kamogawa from school to the station. It was all-in-all very nice. Won't you join us & see what's what...

We begin at the beginning. A recently refurbished park area behind the Furitsu Idai (Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine). 

Weather was cooperative...a lovely fall day.

(n.b.: all photos from one walk, one day, one pass.)

this guy is happy because he found one of the few public trash cans in all Japan, and no longer has to haul his sack of dog mess everywhere with him.

for those about to rock...an aspiring drummer practices.

groupies.

a under the bridge, a homeless gentleman tends to drying his harvest.

(from the season, tawny color and fetid stench, my guess would be a bounty of ginkgo nuts gleaned from under the many nearby trees.)

a plein-air painter.

There are many universities in and around Kyoto, so one sees many students practicing their art & craft, life & love along the river.

gone fishin'.  

family fun for father & sons.

...could be a victim of corporate restructuring, what with having a few minutes to himself on a Monday afternoon.

 PETA activists note: crayfish in the blue tank, boy baiting his harpoon...not clear what contra naturum violence the mom is contemplating w/ her fists of fury there.

 

another family tormenting assorted wildlife.

a couple a white chicks sitting around biking...

 

Leaning-in couple.  Awww...

I'm not going to lie, it hurts a bit to be walking alone when you chance upon this sort of magic.

lack the necessary coding skill to delete this fcking useless blue box here.  

happy strolling couple...with time on their side, good days ahead and the wind at their backs...

picture time!

1.  waiting while her friend onshore sets the self-timer.

2.  the pose (slightly out of synch, but who cares, these are the days that dreams are made of)

incline couple.  these 2 were up to some kind of monkey bizness, and they shifted positions pronto... (noticed Rothario's right hand come popping out quick fast in a hurry).

It's hard to tell in this shot, but they are actually under the edge of a bridge, and one could convince oneself (and more on point, one's girlfriend) that this spot is secluded and private, in the deceptive way that it can feel, say, being in a car.

(but as the comedian advised people who pick their nose while driving: remember you are in a car, not invisible.)

3.  Got it! Let's go shop and eat cakey setto.

sugoi!!!

new spot, new vibe, new hoodie. same love.

the approach shot...

the pass-by.  you can't stop the music.

fck but I hope they're not a couple. 

 (though it's possible; I've seen more egregious pairings in this country, I'll tell you that.)

 

"hey, I think that white guy's gay cuz he's taking a picture of that other guy's ass." (I thought I heard her say)

'Twas on this day that the crew was on the scene, getting the shot, making the magic.

   
   
 

a jogger ... a blogger ... sipping on a lager.

 Kirin lager in new retro / period can

(+_<)

ready...

some college girls have an impromptu race riverside

set...

ohh...false start

 

GO!!!

college girl by day / waitress by night

girls and boys...

this concludes the walk along the kamogawa...for the most part.

outside the fascist monolith that is the apple building, osaka.

walk a mile in my eyes....

rainy kyoto through the umbrella

perhaps this is what tan puffycoat there looks like in her under garments...

(...thought I)

 

p.s. this is now Osaka; a different world altogether.

(please note this letter that popped in the box a few days ago):

That is One Crazy Site You've Got There!

Hey Honcho,
I just ran across your site and was really impressed!
...not local ass 'nuff said. actually made me fall out of my chair!
You are a genius I think!

--Chimmy

Thank you for the kind words.  I have been called some things in my day, genius is not one of them.  This is not a mantle that I wear lightly.  Gambarimasu!

 

show love to those who come real with it;
life's a bitch but i deal with it. 

 

half-price!! first drink!

elegant women in kimono, crossing Shijo Bridge

fellow readers: if you like this site please spread the word like human manure over an Edo Period rice field.  doumo arigatou!

posting a link to this site also much appreciated and good karma for you. 

 

violinfatuation...at the Christmas concert.

 
and the band played on...

A Salvation Army Band, trying (in a moderately off-key way) to bring Good Cheer to the infidels.  Never mind being ignored; if they get home alive w/o being trampled by holiday shoppers in designer bags, God truly is on their side. Shinsaibashi, Osaka.

Hmmm...now what?
