The fun thing about modern art is that it can mean so many different things.

To quote website http://www.thedailywh.at, "Lights Out: BABYMETAL, an offshoot of the Japanese pop idol group Sakura Gakuin that performs a distinctly Japanese mix of schoolgirl J-pop and death metal."

It's easy to look at things like this and say that Japan is weird. But to the Japanese, it's normal. Which begs the question, do the Japanese think that we here in the United States are weird?

I'm moving to Japan in a couple of months, and I am huge fan of the random "WTF would you do that" genre of shows. And I feel like in this arena, the Japanese are MASTERS! And I can only hope and wish that this is a sample of even better things to come when I have access to Japanese TV!

Found this when I followed a link from Fark to another story on i09.com and this was linked to in the sidebar

This is from the Japanese TV show Kaiketsu Lion-Maru

Action sequence during which the hero transforms into a Samurai lion starts at 1:38

Okay Dole.

Not even a week since the big one in Japan and they've already produced something weird as a result of that disaster

Japan's weirdest Kit-Kat flavors.

I dunno; a lot of these sound pretty delicious to me. Maybe that's just the New Year's diet talking.
