How do you show your love?

Talk about anything Japan-related.

How do you show your love?

Postby kinki on Mon May 22, 2006 5:43 am

OK, just wondering how overt your Japan-love is...? Are your houses bedecked with posters/photos/desktops/memorabilia etc, or are you more subtle in your adoration...?:D

I have a steadily increasing collection of posters/photos creeping onto my walls....and I love it! It's like being a grown-up teenager..

Well, if it counts, I have the photo of Sylvian that came from the Camphor sleeve up at work. I haven't really deco'd the home office/music room yet. Well, the CD wall is really a work of art in itself, but.... I'd like to get some things up on the walls. I have a few things lined up for it, and some Sylvian items are in the stack. When it's done I'll have to post piccies.

Really?? That's really cool!! I mean, I've never understand why you have to leave your hobbies or passions when you're an adult. It's completely nonsense!! The things you love are part from you and defines a very important part of your personality, I think. :-)

I have photos on my wall too , and I also wear badges :) and can't stop speaking about them!!! :lol:

I share all of your feelings. I used to "suppress" my love of music by decorating my house in a more conventional decor, but as I have gotten older I embraced my passion because, after all, I have had it since I was a child and it is a part of me, a big part, and denying it is like denying myself.

I currently have some posters in my living room but try to use the more "artistic" pieces there. However, my guest bedroom is decorated like a room at the Hard Rock hotel, with framed posters, 8x10's and memoribilia all around.

I just recently purchased a new home and one of the rooms will be my office/music room and you better believe it will be adorned for sure---I am more excited about decorating that room than I am the others, even with the brand new kitchen appliances et al :lol:

I also have a "rock-n-roll" jeans jacket with buttons, patches etc that I wear, and many concert tshirts.

My car has some buttons stuck in the header, including a pic of Japan and one of David.

Some nights at work I take my music dvds in and have them playing while I work. I have turned my coworker onto Japan/Sylvian and it is so cute to hear her hum along :lol:

Couldnt agree more...I cant stand this attitude of 'well you're grown up now so you must go all sensible and dull and like grown up things'. YAAAWWWWNNNN!

I mean, as far as Im concerned I am a responsible adult in most areas but when it comes to certain things, well mostly our boys actually :wink: , I will never grow up...and I will just say 'bite me' to anyone who dares criticize.

Fantastic....

I am in the process of enlarging 4 black and white pics from 'A Tourists Guide to Japan' to fill an entire wall in my house.

I have an Adolescent Sex poster up in my kitchen, my Tin Drum cover is up in my study, and I will be shortly be framing my two hitherto rolled up 23 year old posters and putting them up in pride of place to welcome visitors. :D

Well, I often have a Japan wallpaper on my computer, if that counts for anything. 'Tis on my DeviantArt if anyone wants to see. ;-) Or if anyone wants to use it, I'd be glad to upload it as well.

I don't have any posters or art, sadly (I think that's going to change very soon), but I do love stenciling t-shirts and have made three Japan ones that I wear a lot! I'll have to take pictures and put them in my gallery one day soon. As far as posters go, I think I'm going to have Snapfish blow up a few of my favourite photos to hang on the wall. :-D

Oh, and there's a really nice Japan poster on sale here, if anyone hasn't seen it.

I don't mind at all! :-D

That was just a screenshot of my desktop, though; here's the link to the actual wallpaper file.

Mmm, I like yours... yum, early Japan. :wink:

Hopeless? Maybe. But cool? Definitely!!!!!!

I would put up pics of David at work too, but when you work with approximately 40 male UPS drivers and they see that, they will make comments that I may just have to respond physically to, or worse yet, take to an artistic expression of their own with a magic marker :evil:

Will you be the only one living there? If so, endless fun is in store - you can paint the walls black and red and put giant pics of Japan all over the ceiling and there's no-one to tell you off.....!!!

Heh - Oh I'll do it for free - just the thought of totally Japanizing a house is enough reward for me! :wink:
