Shokotan Photobook

Internationally known Japanese gravure idol / talent / singer / manga artist Shoko Nakagawa (中川翔子) aka “Shokotan” released her latest photobook titled “Shoko A La Mode” last Friday. This time the multi talented 23 year old transforms herself into several different characters in the photobook, which is very fitting for her cosplay loving personality.

Sexy Shokotan (しょこたん) will hold a public signing event for her photobook on Monday afternoon the 24th at Fukuya Bookstore in the Ginza district of Tokyo

Sleepy John Hits Tokyo, Part 3

I’m back with more interesting random shots that I took from my recent Japan trip. I’ve got plenty more and I plan on putting them up in succession so you Japanphiles keep your eyes peeled!

This is a shot of Ginza (銀座), a posh district of Tokyo. The Japanese flagship stores of Chanel, Bulgari, Prada and Louis Vuitton are all located in this area.

Ginza is also home to several high class hostess and snack bars that cater to wealthy businessmen. It was early in the evening and I got a shot of a mama-san wearing traditional kimono on her way to work.

You know being the Japanese female lover that I am, I had to put in a little work and stalk these fashionable and shapely OL (office ladies)! I wish I could’ve had a drink with some of the many hot office ladies I encountered while I was there! I swear, office ladies in Japan are getting hotter than ever and I’d like to taste them all!

Here’s a shot of us riding the taxi en route to our next drinking appointment.
