amusing fashion

Spotted in Shinjuku Gyoen:

Pain Scratch Alternative Jesus ???

I'm curious what the rest of the patches said but I didn't feel like sitting there waiting for him to get up. Engrish always makes me smile. Hope you had a great weekend!

Hv a Great Week!

日本の若者のファッションを久しぶりに見た！
Sandy Carlson on Mon Oct 15, 09:46:00 PM said...: Makes me think of magnetic poetry! I wonder what this means to this person. Is Jesus the antidote to pain or is scratching the antidote to Jesus? Hmmm..... Great find!
Carver on Mon Oct 15, 11:49:00 PM said...: That's a unique weekend snapshot. I am so nosy that I'd have to wait until he got up to see the rest. Pretty hard to imagine what it could be. Happy week.
tanabata on Tue Oct 16, 12:10:00 AM said...: Jean Chia- LOL! Nice idea! :P

Emmyrose- Thanks! You too!

Ju- Have a great week yourself!

snippets- it made me laugh so that's always a good thing.

Grace- oh probably not. English in Japanese fashion is often so funny!

Sandy- I'd guess that the wearer probably hasn't given it much thought. Thanks for reminding me of magnetic poetry. I used to have some, I wonder where it went.

Carver- lol! It was time to go unfortunately. You're right, I can't even begin to imagine what the other ones said.
Janet on Tue Oct 16, 01:42:00 AM said...: I loved reading Engrish on the subways ;-)
♥Shabem®♥ on Tue Oct 16, 01:58:00 AM said...: Interesting patches and I think the jeans is cool!
Thanks for dropping by.
Nymeth on Tue Oct 16, 02:20:00 AM said...: That is quite intriguing. I wonder what it was supposed to mean.
kookiejar on Tue Oct 16, 02:59:00 AM said...: I laughed harder once you told me that was a guy! Hilarious.
Isabelle aka tricotine on Tue Oct 16, 06:42:00 AM said...: Incredible! :-)
Alison on Tue Oct 16, 07:31:00 AM said...: I wonder what that was all about!
Christine on Wed Oct 17, 03:03:00 PM said...: What a great snapshot. More please. Who knew that random words could be so poetic?
tanabata on Wed Oct 17, 08:47:00 PM said...: Janet- Engrish is so fun! :)

Shabem- thanks for the visit!

Nymeth- probably nothing. Just random words is my guess..

Kookie- I laugh every time I read your comment! Did you ever see the episode of Friends with Joey's 'man bag'. Tote bags are really popular for men here these days.

Isabelle- :)

Alison- your guess is as good as mine!

Christine- LOL! randomness at its best!
Bookfool on Fri Oct 19, 09:57:00 AM said...: I like Jean Chia's response!
tanabata on Sat Oct 20, 12:22:00 AM said...: Nancy- :P
Lotus Reads on Sat Oct 20, 11:23:00 AM said...: LOL, what a combination of words! Great find, Nat!
tanabata on Sat Oct 20, 11:47:00 AM said...: Lotus- it's certainly the combination of these particular words that add to the humour. :)
