Kimono in videos
Jun 27th, 2006, 6:59pm
 
I found some very nice Kimono videos at Youtube. Not many, though, and some uploaders kind of missed the point. But here's the cream:
 
A Kimono show. It's more enjoyable if you turn off the sound.
 
Gackt in Kimono. Don't know him but I want this one! The coat too, albeit it's a little less traditional looking.
 
And this is not bad either, a girl at a matsuri. She said it was a Yukata, though. [EDIT: see below]
 
And the reason I went looking for Kimono videos, A music video by Morning Musume Sakuragumi, Sakura Mankai. There is a... slight Cuteness Overload warning here, but those Kimonos, Uwaa!! Not the ones in group dance scenes, though. They're nice too, I guess, in a way....

I saw the videos. I think the kimono show was great, it really shows the spirit of modern today's kimono. Very professional and well made.
 
The other one, yes the girl is really wearing typical girl's yukata. Women usually wear yukata for omatsuri or hanabi in summer, as it's cool and light to wear. Men wear (as you can see in video) often jimbei which is even more cool to wear in hot and humid summer night. And there are always, A LOT OF PEOPLE. But somehow I get little funny feeling of this video..
 
And as you see, unlike the "Memoirs of Geisha" movie suggests, the coloured ice isn't eaten from icecream cone!

Me too. I followed the link visible on the screen, and proceeded to remove the URL. It seems she was... shall we say, an idol. I'm sorry for this. I will be more careful with Youtube from now on.
 
But here's a nicer one, from Google Video: Seijin no Hi, or "Coming of Age Day".  
 
Very nice articles, by the way! Smiley

Hehe, yes I think she is AV model. In this context AV doesn't mean "Audio/Video" but has a different meaning..
