School Festivals in Anime - The Amusing Side

While slice-of-life comedy anime series like Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh depict the ins and outs of Japanese school life, many non-Japanese fans are probably not very customary with the discrete Japanese school festivals and events that are held throughout the year. Possibly the most iconic of these is the primary Festival, or Bunkasai. It's commonly held in most schools over Japan and commonly invites people from face the school to see the work of the students.

Different classes, groups and clubs transform their rooms and the gym into discrete themed areas. Development them into restaurants and cafes that serve food are so tasteless that they're clichéd. Likewise, the idea of Development a room into a haunted house is a cliché and these two concepts are often depicted in anime and manga as the first few ideas pupil straight through out as for what they are going to do while the culture festivities.

For those of us who are only customary with the idea of Field Day competitions, the fact that many Japanese schools highlight a week-long version will probably come as a shock. The festival-like atmosphere that surrounds the so-called Sports Days can often come to be as strange as it is challenging. Often times, all regular classes are canceled the week that precedes the events, and students are given time to convention their competitions.

From Monday to Saturday, students train and prepare. Then on Sunday, the actual event is held. Since the fields of school grounds have limited safety from the sun, these weeks are often scheduled for cooler times of the year. Some of these sports are rather off the wall, like games arresting giant balls. There are also often cheering contests, to see which groups can get the loudest.

Presentations by clubs and a doing by the school band are also commonly featured, though there are also more traditional, festival aspects to the event. For instance, the day will commonly close with a non-competitive Japanese folk routine.

The graduation ceremonies are commonly held while March, and commonly consist of an assembly with a distribution of graduation certificates and a presentation by class representatives. Aogeba Totshi, or Song of Gratitude is ordinarily played as a graduation theme. Interestingly enough, an additional one graduation theme is Hotaru no Hikari, and this piece is played to the music of Auld Lang Syne. This same song is sometimes played by Japanese businesses at the end of the day to usher out their customers!

With school festivals being such an prominent part of the school life stereotype in anime and manga, they will sometimes come up even in series that commonly wouldn't show something like a minor banquet. However, in series that they fit into well, such festivals often add a dose of over-the-top funniness. Few fans can forget the cheerleading session that the girls from Lucky Star accomplish at their very own school.

See below for translation notes! I'm obsessed with this song and I can't explain why. And lo and behold, nobody's translated it yet apparently, so why not do it myself! EDIT: It's come to my attention that I seem to have made a few mistakes in my translation; it's a bit embarrassing to say, but I noticed them when I was going through the lyrics again today. The mistakes are: • From 0:58 to 1:03, I misread and misheard the lyric as パール (Pearl) when in actuality it is バール (Bar) as in a crowbar or other improvised bar. • From 1:03 to 1:09 I failed to look at the lyrics and thought they said 閃き！ (Hirameki!/A revelation!) when in actuality it is 冷や飯 (Hiya Meshi/Cold food). I sincerely apologize for these mistakes, and I hope to avoid them in the future. Original Video: 東方スクール (Touhou School) Circle: Innocent Key movieplanet.dyndns.org Movie: ノヤマコト (Noyamakoto) www.nicovideo.jp Translation Notes: • At the beginning when Keine throws the chalk at Sunny and Star, the chalkboard says, "Kaguya died 3 times, Mokou died 2 times. Combined, how many times did the two die?" • For some reason there are a few parts where the lyrics on the video aren't the same as the lyrics that are actually being sung. I have no idea why this is, so I just went with the lyrics that are actually being said and ignored the lyrics on the screen. • Also of note is when Sanae and Kanako sing that they "run away with the bike we just stole." I believe this is a reference to Okuu's ...

Cultural Diversity in London

Culturally, London comes into its own; it would be difficult to find any culture not represented somewhere in the busy streets and quiet suburbs of London. The streets swarm with a multitude of people of distinct ages, races and cultures. Moody Goth teenagers with their electric pink striped hair and black clothes mingle really in the markets of Camden Town and Covent organery with wrinkly Japanese grandfathers, enthusiastic tourists and local Londoners. Tired businessmen walk the same streets as new-age hippies and chattering groups of excited Asian school-girls.

More than three hundred distinct languages are spoken in London on a daily basis, and every sub-culture in the city is represented by its own speciality shops, restaurants and fashion stores. Not only is there a collection of contrasting races and nationalities living in London, but distinct generations as well. The disparity in culture in the middle of classes and generations of the same nationality are as great, or even greater than the cultural distinctions in the middle of diverse nationalities.

Japanese School Girls

Entire sections of London suburbia have become known for their sub-cultures. Raynes Park, for example, is almost exclusively South African, while Chinatown is the centre for Chinese shopping, although no longer residential. There are numerous Eastern-European restaurants, clubs, churches and events all over London and whatever your gastronomic tastes, there will be an acceptable bistro to satisfy your hunger.

The entertainment areas of London cater to every inherent culture and sub-culture imaginable, as well as to every generation. There is, however, still a very authentic taste of British London to be had in the innumerable pubs which are found all over the city. Some of the pubs are so former in fact that it can be quite a disconcerting sense to walk in and face the almost hostile stares of elderly regulars who have been careful patrons since their arrival of age. Even the most former of pubs, however, will often reflect a tiny quantum of the cultural diversity of London in its menu; the British favourite of fish, chips and mushy peas will regularly be offered on the same page as lasagne, spaghetti or pizza. The historic monuments such as Marble Arch, Nelson's Column, the Mall and the sculpture of Anteros in Piccadilly Circus are all inarguably British, but coexist peacefully with the swarms of brief humanity gathered from all nearby the world.

With such a wide diversity of ages, races, colours and cultures, it is impossible to name them all. The only thing you can be sure of is that whether visiting London as a tourist or relocating, there will already be a flourishing group of fellow countrymen and women living somewhere in the city, claiming a diminutive part of London as their own. If you want to visit London really to get away from your fellow countryfolk and see the British London, this is not a problem either. London is so vast that you will always be able to find the niche you want to experience.

Japanese Pie & Slime Virgins Vol.3: Miho

Japanese Pie & Slime Virgins Vol.3: Miho Tube. Duration : 1.28 Mins.

The full-length video is ready to download right now at PiedAsianGirls.com vidown.com This is our 3rd installment of the `Japanese Pie & Slime Virgins` series. Miho has appeared on our site already (`Miho`s Xmas Wish`) but this scene was actually the first one she shot - and you can tell right away because not only is she visibly nervous before her first pie in the face, but she also screams really loud when she gets it! We played rock, paper, scissors and each time she won, she got 10 yen (which she used to buy `prizes` at the end). But when she lost, she got pied, then stripped a little, pied some more, stripped more, etc. She takes a couple real custard pies to the face, and some whipped cream pies to her face, legs, butt and chest. And, yes, she strips off a piece of clothing right before each body hit. By the time she gets gunged with chocolate gunge and then green slime, she`s just in her bra and panties... As always, shot with 3 cameras. Contains some subtitles during our conversation at the beginning. For foot fans, there are a few short shots of her bare feet, but that`s all because she shot a nice foot video which will be appearing over at MessyAsianFeet.com soon.

Im making a video response to myself I know feels odd. But Im just responding to a user who said viets dont have class. I actually do appreciate his honest opinon .But all ethnicity do have class just depends on where you from and what culture you were brought up with.. I can definately say northern viets are still very conservative and old fashion. For south vietnamese there are actually opening to pop culture and fashion. I think there are four pheneotype looks of our people, 1) East Asian looks 2) Mix of EA/SEA looks 3) South East Asian/Native looks 4) Cauasian/hispanic looks Viet (kinh) = mix of Yue + Han + Tai vietnamese have a very diverse look :) For people to generalized what vietnamese should look like remember some points 1) Vietnamese is a nationality not an ethnicity 2) Majority are kinh (closest minority group in regards to physical looks and language is Muong, But for culture its Hoa) 3)Differnet physical appearance, dialects in each Region Bac Ky ( Tonkinese) Trung Ky ( Annamese ) Nam Ky (Cochinchinese) (Southern Chinese Vietnamese ) called "Chợ Lớn (Northern Chinese Vietnamese) called "Chợ Nhỏ 4) Some viets may be mixed with a minority group or may not be aware of their family heritage I dont really have a problem its good to to have diverse physical appearance I guess Most of these are regular viet girls from UK, France Australia, Canada, US and Vietnam

Japan [1999/Expensive and Interesting]

Japan

In July of l999, I took a trip to Japan, visited a friend I had met in Turkey, in l996. She and I had a good time. We spent time in Tokyo, Kyoto, and several other locations. We went to the top of he Tokyo Tower, it was built in l957, and is taller than Paris' Eiffel Tower (of which I've been to, or to the top: Paris now I understand from a friend that just came back gives .52 cents to the dollar, or they convert 18% to convert dollars at venders, and banks will not convert money for Americans: I always knew they didn't like us, but that is depressing news; oh well, back to Japan). And we went to several temples. Kyoto, was perhaps one of the good cities I liked, matter-of-fact it remains one of my favored cities in the world. In a colse to city, by Kyoto, there was an international sumo wrestling, international tournament going on (0 dollars a ticket, and you get the 13th row) and I attended that. all was quite expensive; I'd say the most high-priced city in the world is Tokyo. I did go to the top of Mount Fuji, as well as going town the most sublime city road in Kyoto, where the Geishas were. I was allowed in a few inns, and talk to the head Geisha, and was shown around. The food in Japan never filled me up it seemed. I did go to some traditional small, traditional wooden inns, family-run guesthouses you might say. Food comes dish by dish, when you think its over, the dinner, its not. All in all, the population of Japan were indifferent to me, I doubt they knew I was there, but when confronted, were kind.

The Girls of Harajuku, Japan

For the Virgin traveller in Japan, Harajuku is one of those 'must see' places on the Japan tourist circuit. Without a doubt the most sublime street of Harajuku's is Takeshita. It is highly doubtful that you will see such a place back home - taking into notice that I am orginally from a place of 3,000 population and sheep outnumber humans by 1000:1 it holds especially true for me.

So who are these infamous Harajuku Girls?

Japanese School Girls

Harajuku gyaru (girl) is the phrase most generally used to identify girls who hang nearby Tokyo's Harajuku district. And of the many varied sites, right on some of the more eye-catching are the lithe figures of the girls that flank the streets there. A word of warning though, "All that glitters is not gold" and all that looks like a girl is often not either.

You will find the fashion styles not only diverse but in some cases exceedingly bizarre. I often notice myself mentally 'high fiving' the girls for their courage and complete lack of self-consciousness. Here are a few of the genres that I have been privileged to see in my trips down those lanes: Gothic Lolita, Gothic Maid, Wamono, Decora, Second-Hand Fashion, and Cyber Fashion (which tends to feature goggles, masks, leather and latex.) In one of my more memorable trips I even saw several girls wearing fake blood and bandages.

What possesses these girls to dress in such an outrageous (and often provocative) way you ask yourself...

A whole of of them are evidently doing their best to imitate rock bands such as Japan X (this band roughly deserves a post of it's own.) If we put on our group anthropology coats and glasses (or goggles if you want to get into the swing of it) and burrow deeper we can appreciate that for many others this is a form of escapism. At the peril of over-generalizing I have observed Japan to be a very homogeneous community and this weekly indulgence allows them to briefly fly the majority of the rules of Japanese society. It gives them individuality not as surely apparent while wearing their usual school uniforms or workplace costume. And maybe at the heart it gives these spectacular, ladies an outlet to express, often in very sexual ways (with ripped stockings, garters, and mini-skirts, etc), the oppression of the Japanese female in their predominantly male dominated society.

I have created the opening to talk to quite a a small whole of of these girls over the years to try and grasp what makes them 'tick' and found the Harajuku Girls, underneath all the make-up and bling, to be like the girl next door - tremendously polite, gracious and warm-hearted.
