Learn about Japanese trends with Rika-chan

What do you know about her?
She was born in 1967 and is nicknamed Rika-chan doll.
Her name is Rika Kayama, and she lives with her musician father, fashion designer mother, twin sister, and triplets.

The characterization is very detailed, so it's very reliable.


Rika-chan has undergone model changes over the years.
The boyfriend has also been remodeled.

The guy on the right is her current boyfriend. His silky hair is his charm.

One of the reasons why Rika-chan dolls have been loved for over 50 years is that they are good at keeping up with trends.

The beloved doll reflects the times, and the history of Rika-chan may be said to also be the history of Japan.

Ikumen イクメン
In Japan, there are still a lot of families where men basically only work and women do all the work, housework and child-rearing, even if they work together.

Men who help with childcare while working were rare at the time, and the term "ikumen" was coined to praise them.

This term may seem strange to women and people from overseas who think that taking care of one's own children is nothing special.

Is this an attempt to create the term "ikumen" and increase the participation rate of men in housework and childcare?

In Japan, the number of men who do housework and childcare is gradually increasing, but unfortunately, things still are not equal between men and women.😣

One of the reasons why men are not able to do housework and childcare is because they work long hours. It will take time for the social and corporate systems to change.
I hope the time will come when all people can choose how to live.

Ikumen of the Year
Rika-chan's Papa, who has been away for work for a long time, posted a photo of himself taking care of a child on the maker's official website in 2014. Also that year, Rika-chan's Papa was awarded the "Ikumen of the Year" award by the government.

It was Rika-chan's mom who single-handedly raised the children, but now her dad is getting an award for doing a little parenting, and that is cheating!
The Internet was in an uproar.😂
After that, Dad took a year of paternity leave.😁

Rika-chan doll is a fashion leader
Rika-chan is popular not only among children but also among adults. This is because Rika-chan is fashionable!
The collections in collaboration with fashion magazines are wonderful, aren't they?


Rica's Night Routine
This work is very popular on the Internet right now, by a youtuber.
A lot of people are saying that they don't want to show this to others, but we can relate.😂


I can't stop looking at Rika-chan, who is always in the news.

Yebisu beer speciality bar in Kyoto

Does anyone here like beer? I like Yebisu beer the best. What is Yebis? Yebisu is the name of this god. He is the god of good fortune who brings prosperity in fishing and business. Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi  In front of Kyoto station, there is a Yebisu beer speciality bar. In this bar, we can enjoy some kind of Yebisu beer. Here is the menu. There are so many different kinds, it's hard to decide. I chose one based on the chart for acidity and richness. It looked so good that I forgot to take a picture and just took a sip.😂 The beer foam is fine and delicious! Yebisu floated up from the coaster after I enjoyed beer.💕 There is an Yebisu figurine at the counter. . If you look closely, you'll see that Ebisu is holding a beer! Hahaha🤣 Offering money to the gods is probably the Japanese style. May you be blessed.✨ −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− Yebisu Bar Kyoto Yodobashi  Address Kyoto Yodobashi 1F, 59...
