Bizarre. Just a very, very bizarre and frightening place. It's the only nation where one can buy both porn and women's underwear from that freaky vending machine a block away from your cramped apartment. Women should stay FAR away from any crowded place, because it's more that probable that she'll get groped at least six times before she gets back to her hotel room. If she's lucky. Urban Dictionary

A country that has never quite got round yet to apologise for war crimes in Asia and it's mistreatment of allied POW'S during world war 2. Urban Dictionary

A wonderful place that is stereotyped by american retards who love anime, and Gwen Stefani who thinks that japanese girls are all obsessed with fashion. These jack-asses think that the japanese will automatically love them for this, when in reality, they think that these 'animorons' are all idiots who think that they're japanese. Urban Dictionary

Jumping And Pumping All Night Urban Dictionary

A nation so technologically advanced that... they still eat with sticks? Urban Dictionary

A mean nation killed more than 36,000,000 Chinese people in WW2 and millions people in other Asian countries but never officially say sorry to the victims. And still vindicating the atrocity what he has done. Many western country people do not know, though Nazi Germany killed 6,000,000 Jews in WW2, the total number is only 1/6 of victims of China in WW2. And till today Japan governmnet has not apologize for his inhuman war action, and never compensate for it to any Asian countries, and still call the brutal war in WW2 as a "help" to other Asian nations. So we say, a GERMAN on his knees is much taller than a japanese stand up straight. Urban Dictionary

To cheat, especially in football (soccer). Derived from Japan's games in the 2006 World Cup, when the Japanese team always pretended to be injured so the referee would help them. Urban Dictionary

A country that's very much overrated or misunderstood. Japanese school system isn't 'superior' to American system--in fact, it's more harmful than benefitial to the nation. With such an emphasis on reaching the next level of education, the only thing that the school focusses on is to get into the good high school or university. The amount of pointless studies is so ridiculous that frankly, it's ruining the country. Do you really think that Jyuku is a good idea? Well... let's look at the youth suicidal rates again. The government is so tangled with yakuza that it's not even funny. Let's not go into the music as it happens to be the second cousin of shit. Sorry, five robotic men standing in a line with a mic in their hand and odd hand motions with monotonous songs isn't quite music. And I'm talking about SMAP. Perfecting the art of toilets might be funny, but it also quite ironically shows how warped the country is. Did you know that the Tokyo area has a Jesus-themed cafe? With bloody crusifixes? How does that NOT show how corrupt and ruined the country is? The language also has three systems of reverence. Obviously, this has done nothing to strengthen the Japanese people's backbone. Blind, mindless worship, that's what it is. Quite simply, Japan is a country that's been in trouble ever since Matthew Perry came knocking so politely on their door so to speak. With cannons. Oh, and he was a yank. Go figure. Bloody xenophiles gotta learn to stay in their own fucking turf--ruin your own country, and keep out of the rest of the world! Urban Dictionary
