Japanese purikura (stands for print club, I think) machines have gotten crazy sophisticated. Not only do they take photos with a variety of backgrounds, you can also choose what you want your skin color to be and what background music to play while the photos are being taken (to get you in the mood, I suppose). The problem for purikura amateurs like me is that there's a time limit on all these choices each machine offers. Before I can even read through all the choices, the question has timed out and the machine has decided for me. You might not think it, but purikura machines can be stressful.After the photos are taken, you exit the booth and go to another part of the purikura machine to doodle on the photos. You can change eye color, add accessories, create borders/backgrounds, and write any messages you want.
The end result:
What do you think?!
