On Sunday the 16th, right-wing groups demanding the elimination of Koreans in Japan staged a march through “Korean Town” by Tokyo’s Shin-Okubo Station. These demonstrations have been held every weekend for more than a month. At last Sunday’s demo, about 200 to 300 anti-Korean protesters carried “hate speech” signs emblazoned with slogans like, “Kill the Koreans!

‘Teru teru bozu’ Japan’s creepiest character

The lame conversation starter that every Japanese person will bore you with is that Japan is blessed above all nations in the world with “four seasons.”
However, right now we’re in the throes of Japan’s fifth season, the Rainy Season.

You might ask, quoter leftWTF is with all these hanging ghosts made of toilet paper?quoter right

They are ‘Teru teru bozu’—a rain-rain-go-away-come-again-another-day effigy and Japan’s creepiest character. Japanese children make these talismans that are supposed to have magical powers to bring good weather and to prevent a rainy day (Wiki).

Radioactive Rika-chan does the Fukushima-meltdown hula

Japan’s version of the Barbie doll, Rika-chan aka Licca-chan aka licca-chan has hooked up with the Hula Girls of Fukushima Prefecture, which is better known for Fukushima nuclear disaster (Wiki).

licca-chan hula girl
According to MANTANWEB (2013Jun15 — Google Translate): A life-size Licca-chan shows off her dancing with the Hula Girls.
As shown in the photos above, a life-size Licca-chan dances the hula at new product presentation “International Tokyo Toy Show” at Tokyo Big Site convension center. Licca-chan logo
MANTANWEB news goes on to explain that Takara Tommy Toy Company has launched a new Licca-chan dress-up doll in collaboration with the “Spa Resort Hawaiians” leisure facilities of Fukushima, which obviously is having trouble attracting customers to their triple-cursed prefecture that was ravaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown of 2011 (Wiki).

Licca-chan_3-legged
This radioactive Rika-chan hula doll is sort of fitting because Licca-chan dolls have also spawned a long-running urban legend amongst Japanese high school students called the curse of the “Three Legged Licca-chan.”
The legend goes that if a girl enters a toilet at her school, and finds a Rika-chan doll on the floor with a purple third leg, she will lose one of her own legs shortly after. She can then grow a purple leg, that is not functional, which will eventually take over her body, causing death (Wiki).

japanCRUSH | June 10, 2013
gathered information from the Japanese internet about eyeball-licking in grade 6 elementary school children (usually aged around 12 years old), who say that it is part of normal dating practice among their peersmore...

The “nasty” part is that eyeball-licking spreds a bacteria called trachoma is is the same as the STD chlamidiya and this can damage vision to nearly the point of blindness. Eew.
