Wetlook; Navy blue recruitment suit

As I announced last week, this time I explain about detail of second scene of "Memories of summer Vol,1 (2nd memorial work of the 10th anniversary of video creation)".

In second scene, a model wears recruitment suit (typical suit for young college girls doing job-hunting in Japan, it looks like ordinary business suit or outfit for office, being usually a monotone and a quiet colour, for example; black, gray, navy blue.) The fact that almost all of the young college girls doing job-hunting wear recruiment suit is peculiar to Japan. In this scene, she wears navy blue recruitment suit, though the most popular color is black. But recently, college girls doing job-hunting in a navy blue suit are gradually increasing.

She has the simple pump such as the water gun in her hand, going to the beach and save seawater in it. Af first she jetted towards the offing and a sandy beach, but as she got used to handling of the pump, she scatterred seawater overhead and took the seawater by herself, moreover "What!" she scatterred seawater at me!

After playing with the pump, she told me good idea. It is that she lied on her face on the sandy beach, as if she challenged 'Beach flag'. She lied at full length to the limit although violent waves broke on the beach. When waves came near, she stood up and escaped! I watched her figure over a camera finder while hoping that she failed to escape.

Before I knew it, her recruitment suit got wet throught all! This scene contains about 36 minites. Because I love the navy blue recruitement suit, having enough time for this photographing with a video camera of the scene. So you can watch and enjoy the 'Wetlook' state that she guradually got wet with her recruitment suit on the beach!

Getting wet on roof of building 1

As I announced about my latest wetlook works last week, I explain about first scene( first clip or video ) of 'Wet version'.

A Japanese college girl with dark gray recruitment suit, which is typical suit for young college girls doing job-hunting in Japan, plays with water balloon with me. Plays with water balloon, Goldfish Scooping, Rubber Ball Scooping and so on are special feature of summer in Japan. Usually young girls play these game with Yukata (It's an informal cotton kimono that is Japanese traditional costume [ For reference ]), but in my latest works, she wears suit! (hahaha)

At first she and I practice catching water balloon. Though there are various size of water balloons, small ones are not readily broken. She is used to catching, so I throw big one many times. Some water balloons are broken, her suit gradually gets wet!

After that she challenges game. That is receiving water balloons by a basket on a head. Some fall into the ground and are broken, the others break in the basket, with water dripping from her head, her suit getting wet more!

If she gets three water balloons, she is winner and I have to give a prize to her. But if she won't get more than three, I 'll make her take a shower. As you guess easily, of course she loses this game as I planned! In the end the color of her suit changed black from gray.

Today's Initiation Ceremony

In Japan, almost all of the companies hold initiation(that is to say welcoming) ceremony today( on the 1st of Apr.) .  I have been waiting for today for a long time!

Today we can many new employees with their recruitment suit that they wore for job-hunting (As I explain in my blog, recruitment suit is a typical suit for young college girls doing job-hunting in Japan) or new business suit that they prepared for the ceremony.

I am happy to be able to watch many new employed women with suit! Possibly I will meet many women with suit in many places, on a train, in a street, at a cafeteria and so on! As a result, I will be full of creative enthusiasm!

Birth of new-style wetlook

Japan is the country which consists of many islands, surrounded by Ocean.
The Japan Islands are mostly(about 60%) composed of steep mountainous regions and have a lot of rainfall, naturally there are many of both river and lake.

Omeng (1)Reflecting those geographical features, Japanese river and lake have rapid currents and abundant amounts of water!
In addition, forests in the mountainous regions preserve water well: because this turns into underground water, there is a lot of spring water and clean water flows into river and lake.
Thus Japanese people have familiarity in water from ancient times.

Omeng (2)In Japan, when summer comes, many Japanese go to the beach, the riverside, the lakeside and so on. Just being there with family or friends, it is enough for us to soothe stress or fatigue.
Sometimes we can see school girls or young women going into sea, river, fountain, or pool with having their clothes on.
I love this kind of situation, that is to say, wetlook outside!

Omeng (3)So I established new-style wetlook webside 5 years ago, and released some works before. That website's name is “Water-playing and healing(playing with water, in short)”which is sister site of "Office Lady Special".
“Water-playing and healing” series include new-style “wet” movies that not only feature soaked girls with their clothes on but give “healing” to viewers.

Omeng (4)On that website(water-playing and healing), I publishes elaborated movie products featuring young girls playing in the water with having a variety of costumes on, though they are mainly suits.
You feel happy with behaviors, smiles, and whispers of “water-playing” girls, and feel healed with the sound of waves, winds, or fountains and BGM.

Summer has already come!

1At the end of June, there were many hot days(over 30 degrees) and heavy rainy days, now in Japan, the temperature is over 35 degrees except north Japan.

When a subtropical low pressure zone in the South Pacific develops, and start to hit Japan, it is called Typhoon as you know. After Tuyu(the rainy season), every year from summer into autumn, Typhoon cause the Japan Islands great storm and flood damage.Therefore many people often get wet with their clothes on, and we are able to happen to watch school girls or office ladies(it's Japanese -English, the meaning is women working at office). They wear a uniform habitually in Japan.

2In summer, "Matsuri"(Japanese traditonal festivals) are invariably held in any region in Japan where there is a shrine.

While, out of traditional festivals in which the regional people all participate to realize a separate space from daily life, mass events for commemoration and celebration, which resemble the form of the traditional festivals, are also called "Matsuri." At the "Matsuri", people may splash water each other!

3At the "matsuri", many Japanese women in particular youngs wear Yukata, which are cotton kimono(Kimono are generally worn for such occasions as special ceremonies and parties) without lining, which are worn after taking a bath and in the summertime.

Yukata are ordinary, unassuming clothing. They can be worn next to the skin, and it is usual to wear wooden clogs without Japanese socks when wearing kimono. Yukata are comfortable to wear, especially on summer evenings after taking a bath; they are refreshing and cool even to look at.

Lots of people in yukata are seen at not only summer festivals, but also fireworks displays and so on. Yukata on such occasions constitute a poetic summer scene!

Japanese custom of clothing

Japanese usually change to a different set of clothing at the turn of the seasons, that is to say, 1st of June, Today. Almost all of the students(junior high school and high school) and office workers get out their summer uniforms and put away winter uniforms. But young college girls do job-serching with her suit(usually tight skirt suit)even in summer, it's Japanese custom.

In Japan, June is beginning of the rainy season and a typhoon may strike. Therefore many Japanese girls and women may get wet by rain in this season, yes there are chances that we are able to watch real WETLOOK.

I do hope that I happen to see ‘WETLOOK’ scene this summer!
