“Japan has never really stressed the concept of being macho in a Western sense, but what we find now is that men are actively seeking the soft and smooth look that is considered so attractive now,” said Marco Shimomura, vice president of Dandy House. “They aren’t scared of getting their [...]
数月前にある仲間とメールのやり取りをしてら、「結婚」の話題にのり、こんな記事のスキャンが添付されてきました。日にちとソース（日本語で “origin” はなんと言うん� っけ？）は不明ですが、ライブドアまで乗っているので２、３年以内の情� �でしょう。（知ってる人、是非コメントに書いてく� さ〜い！）
