~H!P Encounters in the Wild~

Postby boinsie » Wed May 08, 2013 11:55 pm

Tell us about times you've run into H!P-related things in your day-to-day life!

This weekend I went down to the international district (Seattle). Roaming through Daiso in search of my caramel corn poofs (of which there were none), I was surprised to hear a familiar tune, "Mamotte Agetai". Granted, it was the original, rather than Kamei/Gaki's cover from the Champloo album, but it still made me smile. :thumbs-up:

Not example H!P, but a few years ago I was at the commuter lounge on campus, and some guys were browsing H!O :fear:

More recently, some kids I tutor were watching this while slacking off on youtube (I think they got there through searching for "worst music video ever")

When I was in Toronto in '06, I saw a familiar face on the signage for a hair salon:

I was at a Korean Market, and there was a visor, and they had photoshopped Ayaya's Yeah Meccha Holiday onto a cartoon body on the visor

^ Wait, really? I normally stay out of the non-candy sections of Uwajimaya...
I don't even normally wash my face!, but I'll have to make a trip back down there this weekend if I can get Tsuji face soap. :o :hehe:
Ah, that reminds me: around X-mas time when I went to Uwajimaya and was looking for a gift for someone, Aruiteru was playing in the gifts/housewares section. :heart:

I remember one time I was in Kinokuniya in NYC and they had displays for all members of MM gen 4: A big poster for hANGRY and ANGRYf, an ad for some NYC map that Aibon was shilling for and a display for one of Tsuji's books.

Is Kinokuniya really "in the wild", though? You go to a Japanese book and music store, you're likely to find Japanese books and music.
