Meitetsu Girl

Year in review of Meitetsu Girl, the giant mannequin outside of the Meitetsu Department Store. 

Her official name is "Nan-chan Doll" and is a popular meeting spot for locals (and KG, too). 

I walk by her every day on the way to and from work, so I got to see every outfit change (unless I was on a business trip, I suppose)!

Christmas bulbs for the holiday season

 

The only repeat outfit I saw all year:

worn on Jan 1st and July 1st to advertise the two "sale" periods in Japan!

Nurse Appreciation Week?!

Not sure what this one is advertising...

Sailor girl

Cinco de Mayo?!  LOL... I really have no clue!

Chunichi Dragons uniform: Baseball season begins :)

Summer sundress and the Asahi rooftop beer garden.

Beach time!

One day I caught them in the middle of changing her!

Summer trend in Japan!

Yukata = Summer kimono

Back of yukata

Another trendy outfit

I really wish I could read these sashes she wears, so I know what she's advertising!

Summer wedding season?!

Check out her giant bling-bling ring!

A little puzzled by this one, too, but wearing the traditional Japanese jackets and using a handheld fan...

This one is for a new blend of Georgia canned coffee. 

It even plays an audio commentary if you press a button on the wall!

Japanese warrior in celebration of Nagoya's 400th Anniversary!

Latest and greatest outfit this week. 

I'm guessing it has to do with "Cosplay", which is short for "costume play" and often based on Japanese animated characters.  Maybe there is some kind of Cosplay event going on in or around Nagoya?!
