What is your opinion on Harajuku fashion? Do you think these styles could be popular in Canada?

Harajuku Fashion is very weird but also very unique. Harajuku Fashion consists of a variety of different types of styles such as, Decora (Rainbow colours and excessive amount of accessories), Gyaru (Dyed hair, lots of makeup, and strange hairstyles), etc.

Due to Canada’s welcoming of these different things like LGBTQ, as they weren’t so welcoming of it before. I think that eventually if it becomes more popular and more popular within the western fashion sense then I’m sure that we could see this on the streets of downtown, or even in schools. Although even if people are welcoming this, there will be people who don’t welcome it and will probably be mean about it, Harajuku Fashion is all about expressing what you feel and what you want to dress as.

Why do you think Japan is so creative with its sandwiches? How do these compare to the sandwiches available in Canada?

Japan is so creative with their sandwiches because of the flavours that make them so unique from Canada. For example the Japanese sandwich ランチパック, they make some interesting flavours like sticking fruits into sandwiches which is something I’m not sure Canadians would eat. Another interesting flavour is a cafe all cream, which is to me really unique.

What is the most creative meal you have made or had? Would it taste good in sandwich form??

I haven’t really have had any creative meals but a Japanese meal that maybe some non-Japanese people haven’t had before might be Chirashizushi. To be honest I don’t really like it but Japanese people think it’s tasty. It might taste good in sandwich form but I doubt it.

What sandwich type are you most excited to try? (Upload a photo if you make one!)

I really want to try a Yakisoba-pan. I really like eating Yakisoba so I’m sure it would be so good if it were in between a koppe-pan.

If offered by him, would you eat a part of Anpanman’s head? Why??

I don’t really like Anpan, but I would do anything to eat カレーパンマン’s head because Curry Pan is my favorite Japanese bread. I really like Curry Pan because Japanese Curry itself is very delicious.

How does school in Japan compare to Canada? Is there anything they do in Japan, that you wish we did at Centennial?

Japanese schools and Canadian schools, are really different when it comes to; education, routine, dress code, etc. School lunches might be good, but if they were to server western food, instead of Japanese food, then it probably wouldn’t be as good.

Do you think that students should have more responsibilities at school like cleaning duty? Why?

I think that many people here in Canada would dislike if our schools did this, but I wouldn’t mind cleaning my classroom with my peers and friends.

How lucky are you in じゃんけん？Would you be able to snag leftovers?

I am quite unlucky when it comes to じゃんけん, so I doubt I would be able to beat anyone in my class to get any leftovers.

What makes Japanese mascots different from the ones we see in Canada?

I think they are different from mascots that we would see in Canada is because, we have ones that look a little funky unlike the ones in Japan’s mascots who’s are more cuter.

Why do you think mascots are so popular in Japan? Do you think Canada should have a similar take on mascots? Explain

I think mascots are popular in Japan because they are used to represent Japan and its prefectures, as well as businesses. In my opinion it would be weird for Canada to take on something similar to mascots like Japan because I don’t think it would suit Canadian culture as much as it suits the Japanese culture.
