From The Digital Typhoon Blog
It seems that Typhoon KIROGI is the bane of weather forecasters and meteorologists in Japan Meteorological Agency. It moves northward when they forecast an eastward motion, and vice versa. Figures above are the time series of typhoon track forecast published on the Website of Japan Meteorological Agency, and these figures illustrate the frequent modification of forecast circles by weather forecasters thinking over the results of numerical prediction. The reason of the frequent change of forecast is that they cannot decide whether the typhoon will move on the strong flow in the upper troposphere or not.

Moe + Shampoo = Moesham
If you answered, “Yes,” to all of the above, then メイド美容室 :: Moesham a “Maid Hair Salon” is for you. The hired help all seem to be cute, eager, and proud to be Moesham beauticians, in their maid get ups. They are also otaku. Your haircut or shampoo comes complete with a mirrored ceiling - I don’t know why, - a hand massage, some otaku talk, and a two-shot.
Moe? Mirror? Hand massage? Two-shot? Huh?
Glossary.
- Moe : 萌え 【もえ】
- Moe is a Japanese term used in connection with manga or anime to describe the ideal of youthful and innocent femininity. Written with the kanji for “to bud or sprout” (萌), the concept covers a narrow range of ideal behaviour for youthful female characters in manga or anime. To be properly moe, a character must be eager or perky, not overly independent, and call forth a desire in the viewer to protect them and nurture them.
- Mirror: Definition supplied by prncssh.
- Mirrors allow the customer to see the nape and backside of the beautician. I have been informed that this is the “view”.
- Hand Massage:
- A hand massage, assisted by drops of lotion, is offered to each customer. The area covered is from the tips of the fingers to the elbow.
- Two-shot
- A two-shot consists of two people photographed together. In the case of Moesham, the customer can select the maid/beautician of their choice to be photographed with. A two-shot is offered as an option and costs 1000 yen a shot.
