These Armani glasses cost me 30,000 yen. I own another two pairs, plus some contact
lenses. I think the world would probably look better without them, but I' be a bit
disorientated.

I bought these Enjoy spectacles in Germany for 400DM. I own four more pairs. I believe the
world would look worse, in any perspective, without my glasses.
DANIEL
MULLER/ STUDENT
My glasses are from Beams and I paid too much for them. I've got two pairs, but one's
wrecked anyway. Tokyo would look much better without glasses, because I wouldn't notice
all the grimy stuff around.

We put 'em on our
noses, stick them in pockets, sit on, roll over and not least of all, look through them.
What are they? Glasses. How many do we own? More than one pair for most of us. This week
we cast our sight on cornering a number of four-eyed creatures and asking: would your
world look rosier without your frames?

I spent 8000 yen on these Simple Life glasses. I've got another two pairs, and without
them I think the world would look worse.

These glasses are one among four pairs, and I have no idea of the brand of the price. I'm
not sure if the world would look better or worse, but blurrier no doubt.
