Good heavens Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!
Culture Shock or not, this is a wacky city. I did a double-take this morning when I passed a mansion (read: apartment complex) near my house and realized that yes, the name of the place really WAS "Silky Lustre". What do they do, film pornos there?

Where do you live?

Oh, I live in the Sheerukii Rusutaa--

And then, during the same commute, I saw a tour bus named "Fantastic Story." Do the adults who ride these busses (and the ones decked out in Thomas the Tank or Hanapoo the Puppy) realize how dorky it is?

My english client tonight pronounced the word "facing" as "fucking" and "Birch" as "bitch." It was all I could do not to bust up laughing. After the lesson, I saw a kid walk into a streetlamp in the "Mylord" arcade because he wasn't paying attention.

No, no, dorky is apparently IN in Tokyo.

** Bonus points if you can tell me where the title line comes from... and no cheating!!
