Once again i’ve trawled the internet far and wide and come up with a worthy winner of this weeks J-Babe Of The Week title, Yuka Kosaka.
While Yuka doesn’t rate as well as Sayaka Ando and Kana Tsugihara i certainly wouldn’t kick her out of the bed if she farted.
Yuka Kosaka 小阪由佳 こさか ゆか born June 27, 1985 is a Gravure idol, actress and model.

Before i knew there was a name for it, i just thought it was really poor stock planning or even laziness on the konbini workers behalf, not wanting to continue stocking the shelves with the best sellers … not at all, it’s the Gaijin Curse.
I first came across the term Gaijin Curse back in June on alpha whiskey hotel and laughed as i’d seen several items in the work konbini disappear off the shelves, from milky ways to cheese and several other delicacies that used to get me through the day.
I was happy to know it wasn’t just me experiencing this, but still disappointed my favourite snacks were no longer on the shelves.
Occasionally i noticed it closer to home and have since had to change konbini’s in order to get my weekly stash of beef jerky, but now even that’s gone …. for the last 2 weeks this spot has been vacant.
I’m not confident in the return of the beef jerky.
Last night i noticed, for the 3rd day in a row, no Vitamin Waters, surely these will be back.

Disclaimer: The following post is based purely on MY opinions and MY observations and after discussions with others over time. Several examples i’ve used are taken from various other articles i’ve read around the internet. Everyone’s experience, based on the situation they live in Japan is different, mine is that of a mid 30’s Salary Man … earning a decent living. I don’t profess to be fluent with the pen or overly talented with skills in English. I didn’t want this post to be War and Peace and hence the comments have added extra info and discussion that may have been originally omitted. Lastly, the “Edit” that is referred to in the comments was only to point to the follow up article from Mike who had the original complaint, it’s since been removed.
It’s been a while since i’ve written about a something like this, the last time was on the subject of Honne and Tatemae.
One thing i’ve noticed since moving to Japan and something Japanese girls themselves have mentioned to me is the level of maturity, or lack thereof, in Japanese girls. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, not by any stretch, truth be known that’s actually what many Japanese men and also many Gaijin love about Japanese Girls.
The fact the Japanese have a hard and fast word for it, to me, means it’s a known behaviour and certainly a behaviour that has it’s place in Japanese society. Also firstly let me say, my thoughts on this subject have NO connection whatsoever to the 2 Japanese Friends i was out with last night should they happen to read this!
