Because in Tokyo and Osaka, it's a lot more expensive, therefore I'd tell what price it will be in the major cities and elsewhere. There's a major difference in one place and another when it comes to price.

LaForet Department Store, Harajuku (I'm gong here cause all the brands are there, and it's easier to find the things I like there: namely the ones on my list)
Nagoya? What's the name of the department store/shop/company?

Is it me, or am I seeing more non-Japanese [ethnic/citizen] taking up Japanese names? Especially these people:
Chinese/Korean: Take up Japanese name with this form of kanji: S NN [S=surname, N=name] Russians: SSS NNN When I ask them, usually it is devrived from their original name. For example, Chinese use theur Chinese name and submit with Japanese reading. Russians use similar-sounding kanji, sometimes to hilarous effect. |

Speaking of funny transliterations, if you live in the TN KY WV area, you probably know at least one person with a bizzare, but English, last name. I myself knew some Bonecutters, Gaspennys and Pancakes. It came from Hessian or more generally German immigrants who recreated their last names to be more 'English', sometimes with funny results. Just another ingredient in the American melting pot. |

Actually, I prefer onyomi over pinyin for all Chinese names in Japanese. Even when it goes against popular usage... Houkkyou rather than "Pekin", Joukai instead of "Shanhai", Taihoku in place of "Taipei". After all, that's what we do to Japanese names in Chinese (pronounce them in, um, Chinese)! Hey, non-Americans might not know what those stand for. I do, but it took me 10 seconds to rack my brains before I thought of Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia! Here's one for you: Which major Chinese city has the abbreviation "Hu"? Hehehe (Hint: The city is one you definitely know, but the abbreviation... <.< >.>) Last edited by Yukinokesshou; 2008-12-13 at 23:23. |
