Thank you, I recognised the tune! :)
And yeah, we might be imposing our tastes onto sartorially liberal Japanese people... who are less prohibited about what men can wear!

Haha yeah, but this is just my guess though. :biggrin: They could also think that it is horrible (just like me) :laugh:

I remember watching a news program about the commercial and the commentators said he looked like a prince @@ that's the concept at least

Lol ok! That explains it then :biggrin:
 
Yuzuru Hanyu

Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Japan has quite unique fashion sense right? I went there before and visited a place called harajuku and let's just say some of the outfits worn there by some of the youngsters are something I could not imagine wearing for public outings. :biggrin: Considering this is for CM maybe it is normal there? lol.

Mainstream Japanese fashion is actually very kawaii or elegant. Yet the people there, at the same time, seem to celebrate weird and unique stuff. I have been embracing a part of the Japanese culture for a long time, but there will always be things that gives me (positive) cultural shock from time to time ("▔□▔)

(I do adore their use of cute emoticons though)

What stunners, thank you! Absolutely lovable.
I might have a weakness for men who dare to put on girls' clothes, sorry! (giving away my preference for transvestites, like?) - I just admire their courage! :biggrin:
With that I'll wish you a good night or a good day, and will go to bed with so much to see in my dreams!

Actually I think the concept of that CM was he was supposed to be a fairy of sorts, I think it's meant to be cheesy. Maybe that's why it looks so ridiculous and frilly. I much prefer the newer Lotte Xylitol White Commercials where they dress him in suits, those make him look good!

News reports about frilly prince cm

Something of that variety... though I don't know if it's thaaat clearly cheesy. The Ghana chocolate press conferences felt a little cheesy to me too, but I don't think it's meant to be? Though it's not like the commentators will say anything else~ I hate that costume but I still can't help swooning at the smile. When they said "it's a special costume made for the CM, and there's only one of it", my immediate thought was "thank god" :o

Thanks for sharing it. I rewatched it and I'm now: :cry::sad4: Especially the press conf at Sochi. :sad21:

I hope he will forever be happy and healthy and all his dreams come true. That's my wish for him and I dedicate my 500th post to it.

Please do not take Harajuku fashion as the standard taste of Japanese :biggrin: Majority of Japanese see their fashion weird, but do not say it loud as we know it's up to them what to wear. Their family might want to stop them to choose such fashion, but others do not care. Japanese people rarely mind others knitting, although it might be chuckled behind.)

We even have a traditon of Kabukimono :dance2:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabukimono

Maybe Japan is a society where distinction between public and private matters is very very clear. Even those boys and girls in dressed in kinky fashion will wear recruit suits (typical Japanese English :p) in dark color when graduating from school.

IMO, Japanese society is a standardized and uniformed one, we may be generous, sometimes too generous to the fashion violently showy as a reaction to it, if it is worn in strictly private, or special occasions like festivals.

But, I want to say this. The first white Xylitol costume with golden frills is never be my taste :palmf:

Harajuku fashion is weekend fashion. :biggrin: If you go on week days all the people will be in suits. On weekends people dress in their weirdest clothes and parade the area as a hobby.

Thanks for the explanation! I was there for holiday to visit a friend who works there and I was a bit surprised at first when I went there and saw that. But I actually find it cool and refreshing. :) I thought there was a festival/celebration/parade at first but she told me that it was normal and just shrug it off. :laugh: Because of that, I get the impression that if such avant-garde day-to-day fashion is somewhat acceptable, then golden frilly white jumpsuit for CM is probably considered okay :biggrin:
I get what you mean. Yuzuru's fashion in a casual setting is pretty standard (and nice. Actually, fit my taste, lol), but his costume for shows and competitions is really flashy and extraordinary :biggrin: And yes, I am :hopelessness: at the first xylitol costume too.
 
Not sure where the first shot is from (maybe as he landed for Cup of China in 2014?) but I think the second shot is when he got out of a van at the back entrance for Together on Ice in 2014.
Yes it is (for the second shot, I remember the video), but not sure for the 1st one either.

Lol the horrible white and gold fairy costume... thanks goodness for the suits that followed, he looks much better! (And not weird lol :laugh:)
