I couldn’t agreed more with it, after spending years of living here, “studying” the faces of Japanese women.

My “object of study” took place in trains, supermarkets, streets, restaurants and even television. Frankly I am not sure if its the power or makeups or eating habits or the skincare efforts that Japanese women in to stay young. I haven’t got a clue, but there are in fact many young looking pregnant women, mothers with children, elderly women with few wrinkles on face, young women with flawless skin and rosy cheeks.

This time round, I will introduce a few famous Japanese women whom I think look way below their age.

日本人の女性は実年齢より若く見えると言います。私は日本に何年も暮らしていますが，正直凄く共感できます。電車の中や町中で良く女性の顔を『観察』します(私も女性なのですが)。メイク力なのか，地道なスキンケアの成果なのか，それとも食べ物のせい？ 確かに日本人の女性は若々しく見えます。日本に住み続ければ，いつの日か私も若々しく見えるようなるのでしょうか？（￣∀￣；）

今日は実年齢より若く見える日本の有名人を紹介したいと思います。

1: Aoi yu (Age 27 -Actress, model) / 蒼井優 (27歳 -女優，モデル)
Doesn’t Aoi yu look like a secondary school student? Most of the time, I was even wondering if she is wearing any makeups at all on national TV. It might sounds scary(?), I had a feeling that perhaps she never will age.

★　中学生？ と思えるほど若々しい蒼井優さんです。彼女をテレビで見ると，いつもほぼノーメイクのように感じます。彼女は人懐っこい顔が特徴ですが，ずっと少女のままのように若々しいですね (老化が止まちゃった?)。

2: Miyazaki aoi (Age 27 -Actress) / 宮崎あおい (27歳 -女優)
A face that is highly exposed in CM, dramas and movies. Many might think that Miyazaki aoi is still single because of her baby-face. Actually she was married, but got divorced only recently.

★ CM女王の上戸彩さんです。清純なイメージが人気な秘密なんじゃないかと思います。27歳とは思えない爽やかさですね。

6: Fukada kyouko (Age 30 -Actress, singer, talent) / 深田恭子 (30歳 -女優,歌手、タレント)
Despite the fact that Fukada kyouko’s face is simply flawless and wrinkle-free. How could that be for a 30 years old?

Usually, a signboard, warning passer-by about the construction work at 100m ahead will be placed from 100m away. (Somehow, the everything systematic Japanese had me wondering if they did measure the distance just to ensure it is precisely 100m).

After walking for another 50m, another signboard pops up again, this time warning about the 50m ahead work. (Wow, the signboards have different distance indications! So how many signboards must be made to support various distance indications?)

And this is not the end. Just when you get near enough to the site, two signboards this time in bright orange pops up again. One warns you of the work ahead and the other cautions you about the narrow road width due to the road construction.

That’s really very kind and methodical though…

東京の道は常に工事中のような気がします。

通行人に注意を促すために，『100m先』という工事中の看板が100メートル前に設置されています(几帳面な日本人はきっと丁寧に測ったんだろう）。
そこからしばらく５０メートルを歩くと，また工事中の看板が設置されています。今度は『50m先』という看板でした。(まさか！『工事中』の看板を距離毎に何個も作らなきゃいけない?)

これで終わりではありません。工事現場のちょうど手前には黄色の目立つ看板が設置されています。一つ目は『工事中』という表示ですが、もうひとつは道の幅が工事により狭くなっているという注意書きの看板です。(見ればわかるんですが・・・)

日本人は本当に几帳面ですね。それに他人のことを考え過ぎなほどと考えていて、優しいなあと思います。
