Blue on Blue. 🚙💙

Taking the Honda CR-Z for a run on the Ise-Shima Skyline in Mie, Japan. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking. Nothing beats a drive under a sky like this.

[full story in ALT]
#Japan #Culture #JapanLife
Every winter, the same images resurface online: Japanese schoolgirls in extremely short skirts, bare legs, snow falling around them. And every year, people ask the same question: “Aren’t they cold?” The answer is more complex than it looks. For some young women in Japan, the short skirt is not about comfort — it’s about identity. In a society that values conformity, uniforms already look identical. Adjusting the skirt length becomes one of the few ways teenagers can quietly say: “This is still my body. This is still my choice.” For others, it’s a subtle form of rebellion. Not loud. Not confrontational. Just a small push against rules that feel rigid. And yes — like teenagers everywhere — some simply want to feel noticed, admired, or confident. But here’s what many outsiders miss. Despite viral photos, most Japanese students dress sensibly in winter. Long socks, thermal layers, heat packs, leggings hidden underneath. Blazers and coats worn outdoors, removed once inside school buildings. Those images of bare legs in freezing weather? They’re exceptions, not the norm. The short-skirt trend itself dates back to the 1990s, during the peak of gyaru culture, influenced by pop icon Namie Amuro. Ultra-short skirts, bold fashion, and individuality became symbols of youth expression — and some of that spirit still lingers today. Schools are well aware of this. That’s why many conduct random skirt-length checks, with penalties for breaking dress codes. What is important to understand is this: the short skirt is not a message meant for outsiders. It is not an invitation, a performance, or a symbol of anything extreme. More often, it is a language spoken among peers — about fitting in, standing out just a little, and navigating youth within a structured society. 💬 What do you think? Do you see short skirts in winter as fashion, self-expression, social pressure, or something else entirely? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments—different perspectives are welcome.

This color photograph was taken in Yokohama, Japan in 2013 and depicts a woman walking by a brick building whose entrance has wooden stairs leading up to the second floor. A sign above the entrance states that this business is called “BrainYoga” which is a non-invasive intervention that can improve memory, concentration, and cognitive abilities.

I'm reaoly struggling to think of an online community that allows less free speech than r/Conservative, I think r/japanlife and r/ottawa are pretty bad too for some reason, but at least the bans there seem based on predictable, if not highly abused rules. R/conservative mods are just grim reapers 😂
