Punny Japanese: There's Some Ginger! edo@punnyjapanese.com
This blog is one gaijin's attempt to learn Japanese through mnemonics, puns, and general linguistic absurdity.
Z-san explains: "A Japanese boy band called KinkiKids had a hit song ガラスのしょうねん. That basically translates as 'Glass Boy'. In the post, I altered it slightly to be 硝子の靴 or ガラスのくつ, meaning 'Glass Shoe'. Hence the reference to Cinderella. Also, there is a well known Japanese music company called ジャニーs that churns out boy bands."
