    -How old are you? 35 -Where are you from? Australia -How important is fashion for you in a scale of 1-10? 3 -Do you have a classic style or you are more avant garde? Classic, simple -What issues would you like to solve, related to nowadays clothes? I'd like to see more of a focus on sustainable fashion rather than fast fashion. -Do you express yourself through your clothes? As much as a mother of two young kids can, I guess...to me these days, fashion has gone out of the window a little in place of functionality! -Do you like to draw attention to you? No - I'm definitely someone who doesn't draw attention to myself through clothing. -Do you like unique clothes or you don't care? I prefer simple classic styles - a well cut t shirt and jeans and I'm happy! Good luck with your studies!

    I'm in my late 40s. I'm from North America. Fashion is important to me. I like to look approachable, classy, and appropriately dressed for the occasion. I think I'm on the classic side for work, but more youthful and fun for casual wear. A big issue for me, like @genkidesu is sustainable fashion. Clothes that are durable, machine-washable (dry cleaning is expensive and hard on the environment), and carefully constructed mean a lot to me. Budget is also a consideration. I'd rather pay more for a high quality garment that lasts forever than a cheap but trendy item that falls apart quickly. One of my suits is older than I am and it's my favorite! A 1960s mod tweed suit I wear to work. The wardrobe I wear definitely expresses something about my attitudes, lifestyle, and image I'd like to project. I want to look cool, classy, and fun, but I don't show a lot of skin. I don't want to draw a lot of attention, as I'm a standout as a non-Japanese woman. However, I do hope people look at my outfit and think I'm elegantly dressed for formal, or sophisticated with casual wear. I'm not so much interested in unique things as clothes that fit well, flatter my shape, and are made of quality fibers and fabrics. I like new interpretations of classic styles without fussy details.

    -30 years old -USA -About an 8 -More on the classic side -There has been a lot of talk about "cultural appropriation" in the clothing/fashion industry lately. I think it needs to be discussed. -Yes. I often choose clothes and colors based on my mood -I already stand out in Japan because of my skin and hair color, so I don't often wear clothes that will draw further attention to myself. -I like unique and regular clothes. I like to have a variety of options to choose from to suit the situation/event/environment.

Inaka vs. do-inaka?

What's your perception of the word 田舎? Is inaka defined by distance from a major centre, lack of amenities, the attitudes of the residents? What do you consider ど田舎? The photo is the Edo River at Nagareyama City looking towards Tokyo which isn't that far away...

Movie locations near you worth visiting?

The live action version of テルマエ・ロマエ Thermae Romae (2012) was shot at Nokogiriyama, Kyonan Town, Chiba Prefecture. It's one of my favourite getaways for hiking, the temple complex, and catching sea breezes. The movie is hilarious and heartwarming. Which Japanese live-action movies do you recommend, and are the filming locations worth a visit? Tell us the original title, English title, the year, and the location.

Recent vending machine discoveries?

I always get a little kick out of finding a vending machine that dispenses something other than drinks or ice-cream. I have been seeing an increase in vending machines that sell religious items lately. I also like finding vending machines with unusual or attractive wrapping. Have you come across any unusual vending machines lately? Either vending machines that sell something other than the norm or a vending machine with eye-catching wrapping?

What are our consumer rights in Japan?

Do you know your consumer rights in Japan? And if so, would you be willing to share anything about them? For example, what is the policy on returns? I am very familiar with my consumer rights in my home country, and they are very widely publicized back home, but information doesn't seem to be as transparent or readily available here. Or is that just me?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.

Entrance ceremony clothes

Soon my kid will have his entrance ceremony at school, and I'm looking for those typical Japanese style ceremony clothes for myself. I'm 1.80m, not so skinny woman, which has huge problems to even find normal clothes in Japan. Does anybody have the same problem and might have any advice, where to get those ceremony clothes in a taller size?

What shampoo brand do you recommend for dandruff?

I have been dealing with this dandruff situation for quite a while now and I still can't seem to figure out how to get rid of this problem. I have tried several shampoo brands/products like head and shoulders, ANGFA organic shampoo and the Honey Deep Moist Shampoo. And none of them worked so far. Some say it's because of hot shower. Well I do shower every day, but I don't use hot shower all the time. I rinse my hair thoroughly after applying shampoo and conditioner. I also tried applying shampoo every other day just to make my hair less dry but I still none of those tricks are working. If there is a product that you recommend that suits every man's budget then I would appreciate it so much.

What's in your toshikoshi soba?

What do you put in your toshikoshi soba? One year I sauteed some chicken and naganegi to start a broth augmented with tsuyu, cooked the soba separately, and served the broth with kamaboko slices.
