I'm surrounded by Aliens? Japan2013 / 宇宙人に囲まれている...2013年日本 in English/日本語  20130511




Arrived at Narita airport in Tokyo. Humid and quite warm like summer in England. Took only 20 minutes be outside of passport control.   

Every time I come to Japan I feel that young women take care so much about outlook. Looking at the mirror and always have to be perfect (I don’t know what that perfect for them means) 

but not so much to elder people. It seems like as they get older, they are less interested in outside. Very interesting. 

Young girls wearing blue contact lens and because of make-up or perhaps plastic surgery, they look they have huge eyes like anime. This makes me feel very uncomfortable.

 I remember when I went to European countries for the first time. I felt everyone looks alien, but now I feel like I am visiting the other planet when I come to Japan.



成田に着く。湿気と暑さを感じる。イギリスの夏のようだ。20分後に入国手続きを終え外に出れる。


帰るたびに感じるのが、若い女性が容姿のことばかり気にしていることだ。鏡をつねに見て、完璧を保つ(もっとも彼らにとっての完璧がよくわからないが)。

けれども年齢が重なるにつれてあまり気にしなくなるようだ。年齢が重なるにつれて極端に冷めてしまうのだろうか?とても興味深い。

若い女の子は青のコンタクトを入れて、化粧のせいか整形(?)のせいか異常なまでに大きな目を持つ。ヨーロッパに住み始めたころは西洋人が宇宙人にみえたが、今は僕が別の惑星に来てる気がする…
