Engrish of the Week

This is the unfortunate band name of the guy group pictured on the cover of this magazine. They're fairly popular too. I feel like someone should tell them.....

Engrish of the Week

Unfortunately, 'Engrish of the Year' would be a better title at this point, but it's too late to change it now. It would disturb the Feng Shui of my blog. Without further ado, I present to you: Dirty Old Men.


Best. Band name. Ever. This was the cover of a free magazine I got when I bought a CD from a store in the mall. I almost wanted to return the one I had just bought and find these guys' CD instead, solely based on their awesomeness.

Engrish of the Week

One of the teachers at my Japanese class that I go to brought this especially delicious treat in to share with all the students one night, having just discovered it recently herself. Upon bursting out into hysterical laughter, myself and the two other English speakers in my class (the students are primarily Chinese people, actually) had the unenviable task of explaining what 'Harem's Delight' means in Japanese..... That was fun. Ah well, these things were delicious, so it was totally worth it. ^-^

Engrish of the Week

Although I should probably change the titles of these posts to 'Engrish of Whenever I Can Find It/Feel Like Posting It', but that's too much of a mouthful. Today's Engrish is brought to you by a used clothes store in Towada. Enjoy!

Engrish of the week

This is a promise that I made to my cousin Shauna, who apparently loves the Engrish as much as I do. I'd like to post one of these types of pictures a week, assuming I can find enough material. So, without further ado, I present to you 'Jesus Body':
"Jesus Body!

New discovery to be kept secret from others.
This discovery is a secret.
I can lay it down because I am correct.
We will not make you sorry.
Pleasure to have the real thing.
I really longed for this."

Apparently I've been told this is an anti-cellulite product. Seen in a random store in Aomori City.
