There exists a poem that you must not read out loud. That poem is called Tomino’s Hell. This poem is the work of Saijou Yaso, a popular poet who worked on children’s nursery rhymes and popular song lyrics. The poem is recorded in the poetry collection Sakin.
If you read it out loud, you will meet with misfortune. In reality, people have claimed to feel ill whilst reading this poem, so I recommend those who are weak to self-suggestion to read the poem silently.
Tomino no Jigoku
ane wa chi wo haku, imoto wa hihaku,
kawaii tomino wa tama wo haku
hitori jigoku ni ochiyuku tomino,
jigoku kurayami hana mo naki.
muchi de tataku wa tomino no ane ka,
muchi no shuso ga ki ni kakaru.
、
tatake yatataki yare tatakazu totemo,
mugen jigoku wa hitotsu michi.
kurai jigoku e anai wo tanomu,
kane no hitsu ni, uguisu ni.
kawa no fukuro ni yaikura hodoireyo,
mugen jigoku no tabishitaku.
haru ga kitesoru hayashi ni tani ni,
kurai jigoku tanina namagari.
kagoni yauguisu, kuruma ni yahitsuji,
kawaii tomino no me niya namida.
nakeyo, uguisu, hayashi no ame ni
imouto koishi to koe ga giri.
nakeba kodama ga jigoku ni hibiki,
kitsunebotan no hana ga saku.
jigoku nanayama nanatani meguru,
kawaii tomino no hitoritabi.
jigoku gozaraba mote kite tamore,
hari no oyama no tomebari wo.
akai tomehari date niwa sasanu,
kawaii tomino no mejirushi ni.
