erizabesu, queen of engrand.

i have recently dubbed myself the queen of engrand.

because i`m queen of finding engrish in japan.

say hello to the latest selection of engrish, found in a shopping center in noda called jusco. this is my new favorite place because it has three levels of goodness, including clothing stores, 100￥stores, a pet store, a music store, post office, and a grocery store. and like two arcades. it`s like target, but on steroids and japanese. oh, and better than target. you know what? it`s actually its own brand of awesomeness so i don`t really have anything in the united states to compare it to. just imagine something awesome and you probably will imagine jusco. (post script: i actually love target. i miss it mucho.)

anyways, another reason that i love this wonderful place is because of all the engrish i saw there. i`m pretty sure the employees thought i was insane, because i was snapping pictures of everything and laughing my head off. but i don`t even care what they think.

now it`s your turn to laugh your head off and make people think you`re insane. enjoy the jusco engrish.





it`s a pretty hat, i just have no idea what it means. haha.




seriously. what is this supposed to mean??






i`ve always been taught to steer clear of the love traps.




cross my heart indeed.




i like my happy stockings to have bizazz.




i need some socks that will change me pretty.




uh...




no, thank YOU.




that really is a happy price for clothes. but an even happier price would be free.




goos quality sweatshirt.




i wonder why.




i wish i knew what they were really trying to say.




congratulations on your likable personality. (at least they spelled likable right)




sildfire.




i would also like to follow this example.




that`s what i would do if i saw you wearing that t-shirt. i would mutter in a small voice, wondering whether or not you have been officially diagnosed as crazy.




i have found the cure for heart disease!!




...what???




incomplete sentences are my favorite.




please don`t knock my heart. i don`t want anyone gripping my mind.




brilliant logic. (you can`t really tell from this photo, but the picture on that t-shirt is a little kid pushing a shopping cart. whatever.)




yes. that says break wind.




oh, the grory!!




more grory...




i sort of wish this said "recovering loveholic" because that would be funny.




i think they mean japanese...




oh, no wonder my music life isn`t happy...i have the wrong earphones.




i just love how they advertise themselves.




melodramatic earphones?? my favorite!!





i just laugh hysterically every time i read this one.




...why would you keep your underwear in a pouch...?




i just love the fine print on this one. it makes me laugh.




man, the engrish speakers are just so good at pick-up lines.




i wish this was a t-shirt.




i like the piggy ashtray.




that makes sense. i guess...




purely face. i love that.





i can`t imagine any gift that would require a rest before opening.





that is just so profound...






this one just made me laugh really hard when i saw it. just like most of the engrish i see...





thanks to the punctuation on this one, i read this with a frank costanza voice in my mind.





oooooh, so that`s how it works!!





even the pencil cases here are friendly...





this one gets a prize for being the most incomplete sentence ever.




yes, let`s!






there are a lot of tastes i have fallen in love with, especially since coming to japan. yum.





yes, it`s true. you would be VERY lucky to see that. haha.





if anyone ever wanted to know what it`s like to have dinner at the sandersons...it`s kind of like that.





no one should trust me with their deliciousness. i will devour their deliciousness, probably.




aw, how sweet. and convoluted.




this is probably my very favorite engrish ever. EVER.





more to come. i guarantee it.
