You said it, but we were all thinking it.

Their background and cultural heritage are a bit complicated. The group members are Japanese nationals, the second or third generations of Japanese war orphans who were abandoned and raised in China at the time of war end. Those orphans as well as their kids were born and growing up in China, some may be “half” with Chinese and Japanese parents, and accompanied their Japanese parents going “home” to Japan. Many are unable to speak Japanese.

Love those black suits in Japan.

Everybody was kung-fu fighting…

[Triple]

Beat me to it by that much..

[Deplorable American1776]

Did we import MORONS to Japan? If we did sorry. If the Japanese are not polite because they saw us being rude, sorry...

What's next for Japan, late Trains??

to a Japanese, one is either 100% Japanese and non-burakumin, or an outsider.

I read a US Navy Intelligence report from 1942, arguing against locking up Japanese Nationals, and US Citizens of Japanese Ancestry. It admitted that there were some immigrants still loyal to Japan, but asserted that the vast majority were not, and those had given the FBI ample in formation about those who were not to be trusted.

One comment that struck me was that the most absolutely, fervently, loyal to the US subpart of that population was those who had been sent to Japan to complete their education. To a man and woman they found that the undoubted discrimination they had experienced in the US, for being of Japanese extraction, was dwarfed to insignificance by the discrimination they had experienced in Japan for not being 100% Japanese. Apparently the Japanese understood that Gaijin could not help being Gaijin, but they had a special loathing for people with Japanese names and faces who were not 100% Japanese.

The music playing was ‘Kung Fu Fighting’.
Imagine the Samurai swords whacking away.

Amish?

[struggle]

Nah, like 4 guys fought and there were 100 people in the party

[Bikkuri]

Ikebukuro is normally for the ‘younger’ scene.. and the Sunshine buildings are pretty far away from the station, so I am suspecting there were few, if no, tourists there...
