Here is the marketing genius of the Japanese in all its splendor.

It is a collection of art called Weiner Art. A grocery store worker invented this art to promote the store products. And the store sales grew strongly because children just love it.

Ganguro is going West! (48 pics+2 videos)

Posted in PICTURES       6 Jul 2009       21574
In ganguro fashion, a deep tan is combined with hair dyed in shades of orange to blonde, or a silver grey known as "high bleached". Black ink is used as eye-liner and white concealer is used as lipstick and eyeshadow. False eyelashes, plastic facial gems, and pearl powder are often added to this. Platform shoes and brightly-coloured outfits complete the ganguro look. Also typical of ganguro fashion are tie-dyed sarongs, miniskirts, stickers on the face, and lots of bracelets, rings, and necklaces.

What you’re going to see is not a computer graphics but a real place.
It is the Metropolitan Area Outer Discharge Channel, constructed to avoid flooding on typhoon season. Its construction started in 1992.
The size is impressive: The maximum height - 25.4 m, maximum width - 78 meters. By the way, this place is open for tourists. I can imagine them circling there with open mouths ;)
