Kakuryu turns 33 on the 10th, but since he was in Shibuya on the 8th, the press gave him cakes in advance (rather than in Fukushima) o oo o I don't think he kept them to show them tomorrow - maybe we'll get some more birthday pics with others Edited August 9, 2018 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amamaniac 2,079 Posted October 13, 2018 Either my eyes are failing me or the cake says: "31th Anniversary". Sometimes I wonder why Japanese cake shops don't just stick to messages in Japanese. I guess it's the thought that counts... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although no one usually refers to a birthday as an anniversary in western culture, I suppose anniversary is acceptable since by definition a birthday is the anniversary of one's birth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday?wprov=sfla1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the chef of the patisserie learned in France and wanted to give it a touch of anniversaire ... and birthdays are not something that traditionally gets celebrated in Japan - except that of the tenno (and Tochinoshin is neither of Japanese nor of English origin) Edited October 14, 2018 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
