(This stuff is from my class textbook, so it's a little geeky, I'm afraid)

諸兄=しょけい=dear friends
密接=みっせつ=relation
読者諸兄の中には経済問題には詳しい方がた くさんいらっしゃると思いますが、服の色と 景気には密接な関係があるという事をご存じ でしょうか。
Among my dear readers, I'm sure everyone is fully aware of the recession, however, does everyone know about the relationship between clothing color and the economic situation?


以前、ある研究所が長年にわたって調査して きたデータを拝見したことがあります。
I have up to now in the laboratory, humbly examined years of data.s

それは、 服の色と日本の景気の関係性を調 べたデータでした。
This was data investigating the relationship between the color of clothing and the economic conditions of Japan.


街を歩いている人の中で、黒い服を着ている 人の出現率 (全身真っ黒でなくても、 1枚でも黒い服 を着ている人の割合)が高い時は不景気であ り、低い時は好景気であるいというものです 。
Among pedestrians the city, when the black clothes wearing percentage was high there was a recession, (Even if he entire body wasn't completely black, the percentage of at at least one piece of black clothing), when the percentage was low, economic times were good.

(I think this is that weird thing about past tense in Japanese, that you talk about the past, and then you go to present tense for talking about the past -- I vaguely remember reading about this.

占領=せんりょう=posession,capture
私は昨年2月のこのコーナーで、「今年は不 景気だから黒が流行る」と書きましたが、  見事昨年の秋冬ファッションは「黒」に占領 されたぐらいの勢いで流行していました。
Back in last February, in my corner I wrote [because of the recession this year, black is popular], and with last year's beautiful fall-winter fashion black came in to popularity with a powerful momentum.

実際に昨年の秋冬は心理的な不景気感のピー クだったのではないでしょうか。
In reality, wasn't last year's fall-winter not the peak of the feelings of economic gloom?

白地=あからさま=plain
黒が減って白やベージュ、白地に花柄プリン ト等、 黒ではない色が増えてきています。

ギャルと不景気はあまり関係ないのではない かと思われる方も多いでしょうが、そうでも ないのです。
Are there so many ways to think of that there's no relationship between between the gyaru and the recession? I think there is a relationship.

(double negative -- err, there is a relationship, you know, whatever.)
