Recyclable Heroes

Well, Hanshin lost this year, but I made a victory stencil for them anyway. Please note my irresponsible misappropriation of the Kamikaze pilot and the cry of “Tora Tora Tora.”

阪神は負けたけど優勝記念ステンシルを作っちゃった。多分タブーやけど勝手に神風のパイロットの絵を使って、戦争のかわり、「阪神虎」のため、虎虎虎を入れました。どう?ぼこぼこされるかな。右翼外人は珍しいな!

Ba- of InfumiyaKumiai fame even swapped me a parka to spray it on (Thanks!) My second Kansai winter should be much warmer than the last! In turn, he did a few “special edition” parkas for the shop. I swear, nothing beats spontaneous creativity. You just can’t duplicate the warm feel of quality one-of-a-kind custom items. Who knows – maybe you’ll see it around Minami!

ステンシルを一二三屋のバーさんに借りてあげてからあったかいパーカーをもらった!こんなカスタム/コラボ・アイテムはめっちゃ好きやねん!みなさん、ミナミの周りに探しなさい!

In Japan, going in black-face for Halloween isn’t really a social taboo (as long as you don’t run into any offended parties on your way to the costume ball) but I don’t have any pictures yet to prove that Novu actually did it this year! It might have just been an OD on Atmosphere’s new album, but here was my take on it this year. Behold the half-arsed “costume” that almost was – until even more culturally offensive aesthetics prevailed. Us whitey’s is eatin’ up hip-hop like it was May-yo-naze!

アメリカには、黒人のコスをするのはちょっとタブーだけど日本にはその決まりは全くないらしい。証明の写真はないけど今年そういうコスをやっている人もおって、めっちゃショックだった!Atmosphere(俺の出身のヒップホップ)の新規アルバムを聞き過ぎか分からないけどとりあえず、こういうコスをやってみようと思った!結局、もっと社会に対して失礼な奴が出来たけど「死んでいるラッパー」のもよかったかもな!

What exciting topic will my next post be about… pants maybe?

次のブログの話題は何にしようかなぁ?… ズボンについては?
