Telling time in Japanese
What you are supposed to be seeing above is a Babe-a-Minute Clock. Called the “bijin-tokei” (pretty girl clock) it has 1440 pictures of girls holding up the time she wrote on a chalkboard—a new girl once per minute. You should see something like the screenshot below. If not, the bijin-tokei is having a bad-hair day (like most poorly-made Japanese software).

An empty article titled ‘Telling time in Japanese’. Does this mean that japanese don’t tell time, ever, in their native language? Do they use english when they exclaim something about time? Finnish? Swedish? Or do they just work all the time so they don’t have any need to tell time to anyone ever? WTF?

Nope. I just means the Japanese are the some of the worst software designers on the planet and that cool “bijin-tokei” (babe-clock) is not functioning. The Babe-a-Minute Clock has 1440 pictures of girls holding up the time scribbled on a chalkboard–a new girl once per minute.
