Calendar just arrived! I love that the Kuroneko despatch place is one block away. Literally, he showed up 1 minute after I called. I'm going to bask in the lovely now!
The pictures are pretty. I liked last year's shoot better. It seemed more... fun? More silly faces and stuff. Mostly in the cookbook but still. And there was an interview. Maybe that was because Kodansha had been doing the JE calendars foreverand this year they went with someone knew after the whole Ohno bonzanza this past summer who hadn't done them before so just started small? I don't know. The large calendar is total win. I don't like the photography though. Good from afar only; everything is out of focus. Nino's shot is a little creepy.
But one thing can be said: the binding doesn't suck! Maybe they spent more on production costs and forwent (forgoed?) the interview.

And I'll say, "He's not a stripper, he's a Japanese idol." I wonder if he's going to regret that picture in 10 years.
