April Tradition
Tuesday, 3月/4日 [2008年] // 30 Comments 
Thanks everyone for the kinds words about my glasses! They seem to be helping too! I wore them on & off today at work when on the computer and my right eye’s vision wasn’t bothering me as much as before with them on.
Last week I went to the magazine store. It was so nice & quiet there 
so I took my time & flipped through Zipper, JJ, CanCam and so on~~ I was going to get Zipper, but it seemed a bit boring this month and then I saw Vivi. I’ve been secretly wanting Vivi for a while 
I laughed b/c last April I bought a random magazine after lusting for an issue for a while, SCawaii and now I got the April issue of Vivi and it too has Namie Amuro on the cover 
Interesting I guess. Though she had nothing to do with my purchases, hahaha
so I flipped through it and when I saw this summer spread with Lena I had to get it!
Everything about this shoot just… embodies my inner summer self!! I’m so happy it’s Spring soon 
!! I love how 70’s vintage they made the layout/photos (lomo-inspired? Yet there are crisp digital photos in the page’s corner 
)
I’ve had some slight interest in Vivi model Lena for a while. Checking her blog every once in a while, she’s pretty cute 
She can be a bit gravure… but most models almost have to be… at least a little, at first, to gain more recognition. (oh my cough cough like Rinka-chan!)

i visit lena’s blog too!
b/c i bought an issue of VIVI tw version a while back
haha she’s pretty big in it eh
yes namie amuro is on the cover of vivi and scawaii, as she deserves to be
lol lena’s blog is pretty empty though, she doesn’t seem to atttract a lot of readers?

namie is so cute~
i’m not a big fan of lena - for me she has a 40/60 shot when concerning her shots - 40% of the time she looks amazing/hot, the remaining 60% of the time, she looks unnatural/trying too hard/false.
i love jun hasegawa tho~~
March 5, 2008 @ 12:05 am
I love Vivi magazine!! I find them to have the cutest outfits in there
March 5, 2008 @ 1:57 am
I love summer but I love winter/fall more just because I get to wear my jackets, jeans and boots! He

My friend used to buy Vivi all the time, it’s quite a big magazine like Cancam (?) too? but that means tons and tons of pretty colour pages~~~
I like how Namie is so stylish~ she’s 30 something now? maybe…? or just late 20’s? o__o she’s a really good looking mom~
March 5, 2008 @ 9:26 am
I LOOVE Scawaii and ViVi!! I read those monthly XD XD XD
Lena just put out a song~ you can catch it on youtube…it’s kinda cute…but VERY fanservice-y…lots of people were getting on her for being so “paris hilton-esque”…but she sings english very cute LOL
it’s called “bright like light” and here’s a link to it >> http://youtube.com/watch?v=C_LP-ombTAU
enjoy!

i’m glad the glasses are working out
i get my eyes tested in a week and half… eek!
oh wow, that photoshoot of lena is HOT! she’s a bit sexy, isn’t she?
March 5, 2008 @ 12:02 pm
OMG…what are the chances she has moles on either side of her lips like that…??! And man, I was like “oh my goodness!! jenny looks like lena!!!!’ I’ve been wondering about her ethnicity…since she doesn’t look all the way Japanese in some shots/angles…is she mixed?? Who knows o_o??
Ga…I wanted to go shopping so bad last night (when I finally looked through Apr ViVi. It seems Namie Amuro is…everywhere o_o
March 5, 2008 @ 12:42 pm
lol its so cute that amuro namie always shows up
for me, its koda kumi~ i have no idea why tho o___O; ahaha
i love lena!
she’s cute and does erokawa well (like in the lingerie shoots lol 
), but she’s not as “expressive” as hasegawa jun 
and chikako is suuuper sexy 
ps. have you seen the heart filtered Tolne cameras?! ohmygosh the pictures with pink hearts are freaking adorable
March 5, 2008 @ 7:14 pm
i wish i had her legs! i’d totally wear tiny shorts like that if they were, haha.
glad to see your glasses are working nicely!

Heyo! I just stumbled on your page and was wondering if I could use a few of your scans to contribute to my website. My website is stated as a url! I will be dropping in and hopefully you will have replied.
I would them like from my J-Fashion section (considering its terribly small). If you want to chat so we could work something out send me an email! (I couldn’t find your email on the page.)

Namie Amruo!! I love her music, I saw her at Uwajimaya’s! But I try to stray away from celeb featured magazines, because all I wanna see is clothes and clothes models!!!
March 5, 2008 @ 10:19 pm
I love lena fuji ;w;~~
she’s mega pretty
March 5, 2008 @ 10:48 pm
Hmm…Namie Amuro. No clue who she is except for the magazine scans of her. But I’m already appealed by her because she has a similar face structure to mine. Lol. I just like finding models who look similar to me because I can try to relate better.
March 5, 2008 @ 10:52 pm
Actually, I think I take that back now that I googled her and looked at her other pictures. We’re not that similar…
March 6, 2008 @ 2:37 am
Aw you look so cute in your glasses!! Contacts must be more comfortable? Hm, not too sure but you really do look good in glasses!! =]
I’m gong to Japan soon and I want to get magazines! Those girls sure are funky~ But I have no idea which magazine(brand names) are good to get =(
Oh wowow
March 6, 2008 @ 4:23 am
namie’s over 30 and she looks so incredibly youthful don’t u think?
March 6, 2008 @ 3:27 pm
^ i know! who would believe that namie actually already has a kid (a boy) who’s like what….10??
she’s always so stylish
March 6, 2008 @ 3:33 pm
^ I didn’t know much about her but that’s really great for her! Interesting fact! XD
March 6, 2008 @ 10:00 pm
Namie looks a lot younger on that SCawaii cover. Her picture on Vivi looks more mature.
I love spring/summer styles. Spring dresses…..so many patterns and bright colors! I really like Lena’s outfit on that scan
March 6, 2008 @ 11:21 pm
Your new glasses are cute
I really like the clothes in these photos. Want!! The photography and modeling are actually good, too
March 7, 2008 @ 8:43 am
Yep I guess she is. She resembles a pop artist? o__O; Hnn….
March 7, 2008 @ 5:29 pm
argh! i can’t wait until summer comes again.. summer clothing is always so cheerful!
March 7, 2008 @ 6:11 pm
Gorgeous spread. Where exactly do you shop for magazines? I’d kill to have a place that sold such a diverse selection of int’l magazines…
March 7, 2008 @ 9:06 pm
Your new glasses are so cute! Ahh, I love clear frames
I love Amuro Namie! She’s just so pretty (porbbaly because of plastic surgery but whatevs!) and her songs are super catchy.

March 8, 2008 @ 1:59 pm
I like lena’s face it’s either plastic surgery or she’s mixed something. I’ve been interested in foreign fashion magazines lately.
