Randy ‘Randoseru’

The randoseru, the leather backpack that every elementary school kid wears is a quintessential Japanese sight.
Red Randoseru are for girls, black ones are for boys and “Peach Backpacks” are for….

Original idea via: The Peach Backpack by Yen-Hsiang Skeet Wang — Yanko Design

In case you were wondering, Randoseru (Raenzel) is from the German word for rucksack.
Previously, the 3Yen featured the ultimate Randoseru-wearing Japanese schoolgirl robot, Strongmachine in this Polysics’ music video.

And finally, here’s a typical Japanese TV commercial for Randoseru, which makes me really want to buy one now…
NOT.

   Yeah, Joe Tokyo, I just love her. Sadly, her photos on her website seems to be dead since Nov. 2007 and I’m afraid she may have “retired” to performing at nursing homes and community halls, meh.

   I do believe all the ideas you have presented in your post about fancy Japanese school backpacks. They are really convincing and will certainly help. Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for n00bies. May just you please lengthen them a bit next time?
