The Season's Upon Us
Taken in a department store in Narita on November 3, 2017. In Japan, seasons are not related to nature anymore - they are mostly related to shopping events. Beginning with November 1st, we have left the Halloween season and entered the Christmas season. So instead of "Merry Christmas" it might become "Merry Shopping". If you visit shops in this season, you are getting to hate Christmas songs. Wish I could hear this one more often instead: The Season's Upon Us I haven't seen yet the first Christmas illuminations on garden fences, trees or houses but they are following the shopseason's footsteps.
