Never too far from going glug-glug!

Building on darling Naazita's observations, something that you can always find in every nook n' cranny of every street in Tokyo is the ubiquitous soft drink vending machine!
The most common ones are by BOSS. No, not thaaaat Hugo Boss!
And they go by this really tacky punchline which says, BOSS is the boss of them all since 19XX!

Maybe this prompts me to compose a posting on the funniest Japanese -> English translations that I see so often in advertisements, public service announcements, sign boards etc. in Japan. They are absolutely hilarious!

The Japanese are the kinkiest people I have seen!

It's really interesting... in some ways, they are so conventional and respectful of orthodox protocol. And in many others, extremely ouvert.
