thanks softgrey
also ground Y is supposed to work as an infomation desk/concierge for overseas customers. seems like you can ask anything about overall YY products. I guess what made them find this type of service necessary was their valuable experience with you last fall. it is in parco and is managed directly by YY inc (I mean it's different from regular corner stores that are basically under the department stores policies. they've got more flexibility there).

more---

*only a japanese stylist would pull the top off 1/2 way like that...
i recognize now that i have seen so many vintage japanese films...
the men always pulled their kimonos off 1/2 way like that to fight...
ie- to shoot a bow and arrow...

this would never occur to a westerner...
pretty cool cultural stuff...
quite sexy too, i might add...

the denim shirt underneath completes the east meets west imagery...

maybe someone knows the name of the artist who did these illustrations?
also- who is this super hero? ultra man?

what does yogozansuka mean, please?

thanks in advance!

it's sort of "is there not any question?", "is it all okay with you?" or even really "be prepared now".
typically, something a dealer is supposed to say at the start of the game. seems like in this context katahada is a proof of the impossibility of any trickery. but it's known as something very cool as well as sexy when the dealer is a woman.



it might be possible for this to be seen as a variation on katahada.
