Not exactly sure what this is advertising. Found it in a display case up at Streetcar Street. I suspect it's an ad for a design company, and you're supposed to use your smartphone on the QR code to get more info at their website. Manga design is everywhere.
Found this chalk art outside a coffee shop up at Streetcar Street. 600 yen ($5.50 USD) for a cup of Vienna coffee. This is in keeping with prices at other sitdown cafes.
In Japan, "menu" refers to any kind of price list. So, what we have here is a "menu" for a beauty salon. Beyond this, I'm stumped. Is a digital perm something for curling the hairs on the back of your fingers? Or is this something that is just performed on your photo in Adobe?
And 10,500 yen ($100 USD) for a "real" is just "unreal."
I'm the guy that created the Akira Toriyama Super Database, as well as the .Hack-oriented Helba Gata. Back in the 1990's, I lived in Japan for 2 years, working as a video game programmer and as a technical writer for Hitachi. After returning to the States and living in Texas for 10 years, I've decided to try living in Japan again. I'm interested in various manga, and to a lesser extent various anime. I'm also studying nihon-go.
