D: I' buying myself a TV, so I'm looking for the right one...
S: ...and I'm just looking to be in pictures. This year, we hope Santa will bring us another one, or a few, of those amazing, coincidentally random, "small world" happenings.
D: Have we been naughty or nice? Or is it haughty and vice?
S: I've been about 30% naughty, 70% nice this year.

I'm looking for shoes and clothes for myself in the vicinity of Takashimaya Illumination Parade in Shinjuku. I'm hoping that Santa will bring me warm clothes this year. Have I been naughty or nice? A bit of both, but mostly nice.

With Christmas quickly approaching, Tokyoites everywhere are rushing to department stores and other shops, looking to buy the perfect gift for that person at the top of their list - be it a friend, family member or themselves. This week, our roving reporter took his list, checked it twice, and asked: What are you looking for today? Who are you buying it for? What are you hoping Santa will bring you this year, and have you been naughty or nice?

I'm searching for presents for my sister and my parents. I don't know what Santa will bring me this year, but I've been nice!

I'm not looking for anything in particular today, just general gifts to take back to my family in the UK. I'm hoping that Santa will bring me lots of money and a better job. I've been naughty this year - but I think that's nice.
