The price of the kimono was estimated to be worth about 8.5 million Yen (around $80K USD)....

$80K?! Wow! :shocked: BMW, are you kidding me? Other than my house, everything I own doesn't add up to that much. Well, ok, some things do but definitely not any sort of clothing. Geez, it must be nice ... talk about the lifestyle of the rich and famous, Japanese style.
Just out of curiosity, do you know if Ryoko-chan actually owns that kimono or did she just lease it for the show?
BTW, keep up the great work and keep those pics coming. :applaud:

I'm pretty sure that the kimono is a loaner just for advertising and stuff. I don't think she wears it in the series, but I'm not sure...

80K for the Kimono?? are you kidding? That can buy a very very expensive BMW or another car!!! :notell:

thanks for the info J-dorama on Ryoko-chan.
as far as pix, there are probably some fave's that you have but yeah to limit them to just 10 out of 4,000 that is impossible.

how many gigabytes is that of Ryoko pix?, i can only imagine having that many pix of my fave Kyoko-chan. :bonk:

Well, it can't buy the new M5 since it's cost is supposedly around $90K... And that can barely buy a Porsche 911 (The GT3 is like $120K, I think)

For the stuff I've posted, it only amounts to a couple hundred Meg, I think, since I reduced the original in size for faster loading.... :D

Ooops, sorry about the subs being out of context... :sweat: :sweat:

The color she's refering to is that of the sweet potatoes (a lemon yellow color) that they're using to make Daigaku Potatoes (french-fried sweet potatoes coated with sweet syrup and toasted sesame)...

The bean paste is the sweet red bean (azuki) paste used in various Japanese pastries and desserts... :)

This Kimono is probably made of gold ... :sweat:

Old-school style kimonos cost a LOT of money.

So much, that the professional shops that make them are dying out as women instead have been switching to cheaper made kimonos (machine made using less expensive cloth) for formal occasions.

I knew Kimonos are very expensive, but I've never seen a Kimono so expensive as that one Ryoko is wearing ... :sweat:

And some Obi are even more expensive than Kimono ... :shocked: :crazy: :sweat:
