You know, you can’t live in a foreign country for years at a time without eventually falling prey to their terrible fashion sense. You need look no further for proof than this month’s issue of KajiKaji fashion magazine. Do some tachi-yomi at your local konbini (don’t pay!) and when you open it up, you will find…

日本は本当に永いなぁ。ずっと外国に暮らすとその国の服も着てくるよね。証明は：今月のカジカジというファッション雑誌。近所のコンビニで立ち読みするとこれはでてくる：

This! No, I’m not proud. I’m merely beating the paparazzi to the punch with the excuse that they were doing their photoshoot outside my apartment. Even worse: these pants haven’t been changed in over a month. I smelled like ass… but apparently my stench reeked with an authenticity that Japanese street fashion will never achieve.

じゃぁんじゃじゃじゃ〜！でも私は別に嬉しくない！パパラチは最初ばれたらめっちゃ嫌やから自分からお知らせしたほうがましと思った。（実は撮影のお兄さんはチョップの前でやっていた）そのズボンよく見ろ。三ヶ月間着替えず、ずっと！くっさ！かっこ悪ッ！一体なんで撮られたやろう？！もしかして白人パワー？！
（PSーうちのスタッフのチャッキちゃんは偶然で同じページの左の下にのっている！それはちょっと嬉しいなぁ！）

結語: その特集のおかげで、「モヒカンやってくれへん？」とよくお願いされています。今日のお客さんの写真。全然関係ないですけど、アメ村の人気ある「アイスドッグ」を食べています。知っている？ホットドッグやけど肉のかわり：ソフトクリーム！皆さん、まだ寒いけどいっぱい食べてください！

Epilogue: The droopy unkempt mohawk has become so popular as a result of this hideous publication that I now perform more haircuts than tattoos. This satisfied customer is snacking on America Mura’s popular dish, the “Ice Dog.” Which is really (get ready for it) a hot dog made of: ice cream! Go ahead, eat ten!
