Tokyo is a weird place. You see signs and billboards all over this city in wrong English and/or English phrases that don’t really make sense.
For those of you who don’t know me. I’m a Japanese dude who has spent a good portion of his early twenties in Texas. (And I also run this absurdist rock band called Voluntary Mother Earth.)
Upon returning to this God-forsaken country, I realized how thoroughly fucked up this place really was. Why do you have to post signs in English in a place where more than 90% of people only speak Japanese? And if you must insist on doing such a thing, why do it wrong?
So, as a responsible Japanese man, I decided to start documenting all these weird-looking English signs and present it here for the rest of the world to enjoy.
OK, enough mumbling from me. Here’s a follow-up to my previous post for ya.
“Engrish – Tokyo Streets #2 “Healthy Daily”
Music: “Give Us a Tomato” by Voluntary Mother Earth
So that was it for this time.
Have a good one. Talk to you soon.
hugs,
Aki
