Another piece of Engrish from the streets of Hakodate. We really wanted to stop and see the art style of GLAY, but we just didn't have the time.

-*-Update-*- A user educated me that GLAY was a Hokkaido-based band from the early 90s, so this really isn't technically Engrish. However, it is still a funny name for a Band. Speaking of which, don't even get me started on the English used in band names or song lyrics here in Japan - that could fill another whole blog. I just heard a song with the lyrics "Let's Start, Let's Start The Shining On."

You'll probably learn this at some point, but GLAY is a J-pop rock band from Hokkaido that was really popular in the late 90s and not just Engrish.
