Because they immediately behead all foreigners they find on their shores, sadly.


I believe you are thinking of Iran. (It has shores you geographically challenged person whoever you are)

No, I'm quite sure Japanese policy is to kill all foreigners immediately by means of beheading, and to destroy their ships and belongings, and burn the remains. Unless this has changed of late.

That's only if you expose your penis to the Godzilla shrine at customs

I'd probably do the same to KiBa if he exposed his to me.

Yeah, these policies explains why 2% of Japan's population are foreigners and amongst that population more than 95% are from neighboring countries like China and Korea.

I go to super potatoe every time when I'm in Japan. Rarely buy anything though. To me it's more like a video game museum as they have so many oddities there. I just wish the floors were't so small and crowded, when it's busy it can be hard to move for tall westerners.

Spokane wrote: I think it's name is a bit of a turn off which is unfortunate.


the name is French, Ys was a city just off Brittany that was know for its beauty and lust. so a knight in red came and convince the princess to unlock the gates and destroy the city. Its been mentioned in a bunch of things both before and after the game Ys came out in the 80s, its even been in the witcher.

(also the intro to Ys origin is in french and Soloman Shrine is based off Mont Saint-Michel)

Thanks for the lesson Segata.

It must be nice not having to wait for an English port of Yakuza.

the voice acting in the first game left a bad taste in my mouth. but i know after 2, they kept it in japanese which was surprising since sega doesnt respond to sonic fan boys requests for voice acting
