bmwracer wrote:Hey guys, I got just back from Asahiya and I saw a buncha calendars up for sale: Didn't see Ryoko or Nana, but I did see the Aya 2006 calendar...

Struck out on the magazines... The October issues haven't completely shown up. :puppydog:

my bad, i didn't see you posted about asahiya on here 'till now.
Anyways, didn't see anything new on rina/ryoko/nana at Kinokuniya and Sanseido here in OC today. At Kinokuniya, they had a ton of different calendars you can order, including nana, ryoko, rina, ayase, and plenty of others including gravure idols.

I ordered my third calendar via Kinokuniya, so i should have three of them come in during November, so i gotta be excited about that. :woot:
The three i ordered are Nana Katase, Rina Uchiyama, and Ayase Haruka :thumbsup: :woot:

No problem.

saw a cute checkout girl at my mitsuwa, got her name from her name badge, "jessica" and she is mixed, quite cute too.

also the girl who helped me at Kinokuniya, she is quite a cutie too, a japanese girl who speaks fluent english and japanese, both without an accent, very impressive. didn't get her name though... :doh: :bonk:

Oh yeah.

I've mentioned her before... I always go to her when checking out, even if the other checkout lines are empty.

I'm no idiot. ;)

At Mitsuwa, got my okaka onigiri, and some pastry...they had this manju fair or something, couldn't understand the characters, and would have gotten more of it, but ran out of cash, and was going to the atm before going to Kinokuniya bookstore. :hehe:

I'll probably order the Rina calendar from Kinokuniya. I'm not sure where to hang it up though. :sweat:

put it up in your room, but not sure if your wife would like that...

my ex-gf, while dating, she did not like my kyoko fukada calendar, so i took it down. Now that i am single again, i have her calendar up, and three more on the way. I decided to go for Nana Katase, Ayase Haruka, and Rina Calendars this year. I am wondering where i should hang mine up, probably all up on one wall or rotate them periodically.
seems like Rina is a popular choice among the fanboys, eh? I am one of them. :hehe: :thumbsup:

:bonk:

I have mine hanging on the wall near my front door. At least I can see her everyday before I leave and when I come home. :hehe:

yeah, good choice, where you can see your lovely j-idol everyday.

I think the Rina one might come earlier than my other two calendars, since it is was released in Japan supposively on Oct. 5th. So, whenever it get's airmailed and delivered here, shortly after i should get it. Unless there is some delay on the release date, it should come hopefully in Oct. :fingerscrossed: :thumbsup:

how many Rina's did you order? any extra copies, i just ordered one rina, since i have two other different j-idols.

I will only order one. I haven't even ordered yet. :sweat: :beaten:
I'm probably going to order Rina, Akiko and Yui's calendars this year.

cool, three's a good number of calendars,
Akiko Yada, Yui Ichikawa, and Rina, good choices.

I had a few more in mind, but i thought 5 would be way too much for my walls in my room and for my wallet. :hehe: :woot:

That does seem a bit excessive. :hehe:

yeah, i had to put a limit, it would look quite obsessive and excessive to have five different j-idols/gravure idols up in my room all at once. So, i chose the three best ones out of five that i wanted and ordered them.

I would get more if I could afford 'em and if the wife lets me. :hehe:

yeah for $25 or more each, that adds up, but there are so many fine j-idol girls out there, too many to choose from. I don't have to ask anyone for permission...... :hehe: so i went all out this year. :bonk:

Looks like there's two Ryoko-chan calendars: one traditional kimono and another more modern one... :bonk: :bonk:

Weird thing is, I don't know which one I'm getting from Amazon... :puppydog:

Don't stress it too much. I'm sure both calendar will have great pics of Ryoko-san :victory:

You can always the the 2nd one after you find out which one you got from Amazon :mrgreen:
