I bought a Coca Cola remote-controled car at Seven-Eleven, Japan. So tiny like Choro-Q.
These models are 4 type of successive delivery trucks. 1930s, 1940s, 1970s, and 2007. The controllers looks like vending machines of the time!!

Armani ginza tower was opened in Ginza, Tokyo Nov, 2007.
The total floor area is 6,000 square meters, 12 floors on the ground and 2 levels of under-ground. In addition to its headquarter and showroom functions, it includes fashion brands such as “GIORGIO ARMANI” or “EMPORIO ARMANI”, as well as an interior brand “ARMANI CASA“, a treatment space “ARMANI SPA” and a restaurant “ARMANI Restaurante” which offers simple, North Italian based original cuisine.
I think that the Japanese-bamboo inspired facade, which they put in front of the building, shows ARMANI ‘s own view of Japanese concept.
Next to it, there are “Dior ”buildings, and “Gucci” across the street. This street apposes the flagship stores of world-famous luxury brands in Japan, and could be the most standout area in Ginza.
This is a reprinted edition of Sumio Kawakami’s playing cards originally produced in1939.
Sumio Kawakami, born in1895, was an artist-printmaker. She had visited to Victoria in Canada, Seattle in the US and Alasaka for one year after graduating her high school, and then became an English teacher at her local high school when she returned in 1921 (Taisho 10).
While teaching, she played a key role in original woodblock printing, which was in its flourishing period in Japan at that time. She has created her own style with works of exotic themes.
I did not know she produced such a cute set of cards. You can get them from Amazon Japan.

I saw the Gucci bags for the 2007 Holiday Campaign to Benefit UNICEF in the show-windows at Gucci Ginza.
While Salon Stone participates a benefit party or Madonna is planning for a charity live to appeal for saving Malawi next year, it is their third year, Gucci seems to be active with social contribution activities among those luxury brands.
Don’t you agree that it’s cool to be able to contribute the benefits by giving a bag for Christmas?
I just got a new velour bag from Beams. It has a nice and soft touch.
