Japan Is Doomed

As it’s currently dead cool to use English in brand names, school textbooks and just about everywhere else, it’s no surprise that a lot of bands in Japan have English names. Following on from this, it is of course no surprise that there are some pretty crazy ones out there. 

So I thought I would treat everyone to an exciting game of ‘Guess the Japanese Band Name’. Using my amazing art skills, I’ll illustrate the band name. If you can guess them, you’re a winner and everyone will love you and talk about you for ages. I’ll give you a hint: All five of the bands have pretty daft names, so don’t guess anything too logical or obvious.

So here’s a simple example. Apologies for the artwork in advance, but I was using my laptop trackpad, and coupled with my terrible art ability that made for some pretty terrible drawings. Again, I’m truly sorry.

I wonder what it could be!

Ok, so let’s get moving then. There are five bands, see if you can guess them all!

Probably should see a doctor about this one.

Aaaah! A ghost! (Hint: It’s not meant to be a ghost)

Good grief it’s coming straight for us!

Another drug related one? Someone please think of the children! (or build a giant man out of them).

Awwwwwww!

So there you go! How many did you get? If you got 0, well played. If you got 1-5 correct, I’d be worried about your mental health. I know that’s rich coming from someone who just drew those things, but if I’d only had a drawing tablet they would have been masterpieces…

Part two to follow in the near far future!
