I've mentioned about headphone-musume illustration book before, the headphone-musume means a-cute-girl-wearing-headphones illustrations. (musume means a girl)

The first issue was sold within the private community but this time the new issue will sell on the public. Needless to say this is entirely written in Japanese but you can enjoy illustrations anyway.

Once upon a time, Japan used to be known as the center of Silk in the world as seen in this latest film "Silk". Time has past and it's been changed to cars or electrics in these days.
Now, Japan getting its popularity as the center of subculture like Anime or Manga
