夏が大好きで冬が嫌いだから、地球温暖が起こったら嬉しい。
なつがだいすきでふゆがきらいだから、ちきゅうおんだんがおこったらうれしい。
I really like summer, but I don’t like winter, so I’m happy that global warming is happening.

女を植えたければ、春に始める方がいいですよ。
おんなをうえたければ、はるにはじめるほうがいいですよ。
If you’re going to plant women you best start in the spring.

空き部屋あるので、秋田犬を飼おうと思ったのに秋がくる時に諦めようと決めた。
あきべやあるので、あきたけんをかおうとおもったのにあきがくるときにあきらめようときめた。
I had an empty room so I thought I might get an Akita ken dog. But when fall came around I decided to give up.

By the way, did you know that Japan has four seasons?

KFCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!

So now we have everyone in Japan believing not just that you must eat chicken, but it has to be a bucket of chicken, preferably from a white plantation owner who likes his wings extra crispy (but passes on the orange soda and watermelon). Everything is all falling into place. Now you can find buckets of chicken everywhere in Japan when it’s feeling quite solsticy (or is it solsticey?) outside. If we’re not careful, there will be the clone of Colonel Sanders ruling with the help of UN MAN. It chills me to the core. We must save ourselves from this unfortunate, but quite tasty, fate.

All Japanese people like BDSM (don’t search this)

The summer school uniform, being lighter, is used until the school decides to tell the students it’s time to change. There’s freaky weather, winter arrives early (according to nature) and so it’s abnormally cold. What does the school say? Fuck ‘em. The kids don’t get to decide when they are allowed to switch uniforms. This same thing happens in the spring. The students shed the winter coats, not according to the weather or even the farmers’ almanac, but according to the demands of principals and superintendents.

This doesn’t just happen in schools, many people do this as well. The thing about everyone else is that it’s not so prominent; more long sleeve shirts, longer skirts, sweaters, turtlenecks, and thigh high boots are seen in the colder times of the year in Japan, but you can still people wearing long sleeve shirts in other seasons as well.

The non creative students wear uniforms like these 2.
You don’t want to see the uniforms of the creative students.

Part of the reason that it doesn’t seem so prominent of a change in the non-student population is that the spring/fall clothes don’t really leave their spots in the closet. If it’s a little colder today, you can wear a long sleeve shirt. If it’s a little warmer than usual, you can wear short sleeves. This blurs the line, but there’s still a retarded monkey fish squirrel that drew that crooked line in the sand. And, whether we like it or not, a line is a line.

But why was this line drawn? What’s the point? What purpose does it serve? These are questions to which there is no answer. Unfortunately, there isn’t a God of the weird Japanese custom gaps or an intelligent theory of Japanese season changes. So short of kidnapping a maid and making her undergo “extreme interrogation techniques” (i.e. a facial and tummy tuck) it looks like there’s not going to be a definitive answer as to why this occurs.
