hi sakura, recently I stumble on Murasaki Hyakuro(村崎百郎) who starts Kichiku Gai(鬼畜系). What I understand, he is a mangaka who starting a trend revolution in Japan, a "dangerous one" which promote evil doings and worst. Even they produce some zines in 90''s and banned after. But if you interested please dig deeper on this th-cam.com/video/6fOfhAEWTSk/w-d-xo.html I'll wait for you next content about this😚👌🏼
Hi, I have been watching your videos and I am loving it. Uhm, since you are tackling about this type of topics, I hope there will be a topic about Idol Yui Mizuno. She was a member of Babymetal but since her departure from that group she wasnt heard of her again🙁 Sorry for my english😅
I had the same thought. It really sounds like Capgras Delusion, which is extremely rare but also extremely challenging. I hope that he did eventually seek medical care and that OP got support...
so a couple years ago i heard this same story although the narrator was going through each post rather than summarizing it, if you read the full version what actually seemed to happen was that someone altered OP's marriage registration as well as the photos, also it was OP's friend who was later revealed to have prosopagnosia, not OP; so a posible explanation is that someone was stalking OP
you forgot to mention the reason why people grabbed on to the nice boat meme; it's because when the finale actually aired, it ended with one of the girls escaping on a boat, so everyone pretty much lost their minds about that.
Godamn, whoever that Denko girl is I feel bad for her. Imagine having to deal with a guy who not only can’t get the hint you don’t like him, but he spams you with emails and your “friend” LITERALLY SELLS YOUR INFO TO HIM!! There’s no way that wouldn’t shake someone up
She should also strong consider to pick her friends better, YEAH. If given the occasion, that A-Ko would steal Denko's dirty socks and sell them to the chud, too.
Fun Fact: That final episode of School Days actually ends with a very morbid and disturbing scene that takes place on a boat, which makes it twice as funny.
The fiancée one sounds like capgras syndrome; where you believe your loved ones have been replaced by identical looking alternates. It's a quite rare disorder so the story, while sad, is very interesting.
I’m listening to this on a bus and right as you said “OP said that they only sent 600 emails” police sirens passed by and I thought it was the video 💀💀💀
Kuma bear has more influence than just the p-bear. From Kuma to 4chan it jumped to a Finnish imageboard (Kuvalauta) and turned into Spurdo Spärde. It is used as a simple character to mock newcomers on the board, often shown speaking with a mocking tone. Later it turned into another meme, Gondola. It is interesting how simple emoji turned into something else.
i have face blindness as well, and i can admit that the situation of forgetting a loved ones face with a hairstyle change is totally possible. one time my mom got her hair dyed a bit darker then normal and i didnt reconize her and cried (i was six).
Oh I don’t have face blindness but I definitely cried hysterically when my mom dyed her hair red and I didn’t recognize her when I was around the same age. Kids are very sensitive to changes like that 😅
@SunshinePIRRATA with face blindness, you are actually unable to recognize faces. Human brains are wired to find human faces (it's why so many people saw Jesus in toast) it's why 👁️👄👁️ is a "face" People with face blindness. See the individual bits but not the sum. Following someone with the same height hair and clothes of another person happens to absolutely everyone eventually. A face blind person literally wouldn't recognize a person with hat on if they didn't always have the hat.
@SunshinePIRRATAI might not have been diagnosed with face blindness, but if you suddenly can't tell two of your colleagues apart anymore just because they both changed hairstyles or one changed to the same hairstyle as the other - that really makes you think.
I dont have face blindness (thankfully as I'm already a socially anxious person and the idea of forgetting the face of one of the people who I feel comfortable around is terrifying for me) but when I was about 6, the first time my dad shaved his beard, I screamed and cried and didn't believe it was him. To this day I hate when he doesn't warn me if he shaves his beard off (thankfully he doesn't do it often. He genuinely looks like a giant baby without a beard despite being 55 lmfao it's kinda creepy for me)
It's interesting how some people would rather think "Hm, she must of of accidently went to a different dimention" instead of believing Kisaragi Station is just made up.
Honestly that story would make for a good horror movie, in my opinion. This lone Japanese girl going on a train only for her to end up in another dimension. Her seeing that one legged man makes it very clear this story is fake.
Here in Brazil there is a similar urban legend to that of the Kisaragi Station, its called Setealém The word Setealém means "seven beyond", like "seven stops beyond". Some stories about it have the narrator getting on a bus that is going to Setealém, and the other passengers advising them to get out of the bus. There are other stories in which people teleport to Setealém through bathrooms, specifically shopping mall bathrooms. Like, thet enter the bathroom in a normal mall, and get out in a mall in Setealém. Great video as always!
thank you for your hard work! just wanted to add that i think the shine part of konashine is not supposed to be read like the english word 'shine' but '死ね', telling konata to die
Wait. So if the fiancee said her name was Hanako, then he asked her "then why did you sign the marriage certificate as Elizabeth?", and she seemed confused by it, why didn't he go back and check the certificate? That seems like the most obvious thing to do. If she really went by Elizabeth, the marriage certificate should prove it. Now that she claims her name is Hanako and never used the name Elizabeth, that piece of paper is the key to solve this. If it says Elizabeth, then something fishy's going on. If it says Hanako, then OP had some sort of episode.
Even if he found the certificate and it doesn't say Elizabeth and it says Hanako he will just believe she switched it. That's the problem with delusions like this. He could get a fresh copy from the government that she couldn't have possibly tampered with and still believe she got to the government or the government is in on it. You can't reason with delusions
That's what actually happened in the end. The fiancee didn't recognize Elizabeth either. She had a copy of the certificate with her actual name, which was Hanako, and some old photos. Turns out someone snuck into OPs home to alter the photos (which is why he didn't recognise her face on them).
Relating to the Hanako Satou thread: person with Prosopagnosia here throwing in my two cents. On one hand, OP's description of how his fiance and the girl in the photo differ 100% sounds like how I see people. Even looking at photos of myself, I only recognize them by context. I struggle to recognize my own mother in public if I can't remember how she styled her hair that day and can't hear her voice. On the other, the disorder is not limited to one person. OP would likely be struggling to recognize even his BFF, not just his fiance. I'm not a psychologist, but that sounds like Capgras syndrome to me. Basically, people believe their loved ones have been replaced by imposters and can't be convinced otherwise.
@Blooftube Bloof Capgras syndrome is a common comorbidity in schizophrenia, dementia, and bipolar disorder. It also shows up in those with head trauma. The syndrome is pretty rare even then.
The disorder can be limited to one person. Agnosias are extremely varied and rarely is one person going to appear to have the same symptoms as another. For instance, the man who thought his wife's face was a hat had agnosia. But there isn't a condition where a spouse's face gets replaced by random objects, and this exact set of circumstances has probably never happened before. It's just that when he looks at her, apparently, the neuron(s) where "hat" is stored in the object recognition part of the brain, for him, was close enough to her face in his FFA that when the brain could not reach "wife's face neuron" (likely a damaged or destroyed neuron due to neuronal degradation) it diverted somewhere nearby. In his case, hat. In another world, it may have diverted instead to another person he knew, mixing them up, or even to something more absurd like a treasure chest. In this case, it sounds (to me, but this is 100% me guessing!) that his wife's face neuron (or the path to reach it) was possibly damaged, but there was a nearby new or unused neuron that the brain diverted to and formed new associations with, while retaining the memories and associations of the previous neuron. That is a very simplified version of what I would say if this weren't just a reply to a TH-cam comment. Of course, the brain is insanely complicated, I don't know this man personally, and I'm completely speculating. I am, though, experienced with agnosia. I don't mean to sound like I know more about your experiences than you do, and I hope I don't!
@@julia3354 Huh. Interesting. Human brains are crazy, aren't they? I guess there's no real way of knowing unless they guy got diagnosed by an actual doctor. It's interesting to speculate from our armchairs, though. :)
Aww man, if you talk about Denko you have to talk about OP sending her a hamster in a box. I remember this story and reading along wih it. Also A-ko apparently became pregnant with OPs child in the last post. It's extremely chilling and terrifying
The Yaranaika face has me dying due to it being used in The Amazing World of Gumball(episode: The Saint), I doubt the show's creator had any idea of its actual origin.
I had no idea where it came from too lmao, by the time I started using the internet it was already a popular meme so the origin was lost by then. So funny🤣
god, i remember first reading the denko thread myself in HS. if i'm not mistaken, at least it also ended with her body slamming him into oblivion under some cherry trees or something of that effect? i vaguely remember her making some physical stand against him and everyone cheering for her on the thread.
I really liked this. Especially the Inuaki Village and Kisaragi Station stories. Do you think you could do a video on creepy places in Japan (both real and fictional)? I'd definitely like a deeper dive into Inuaki village.
Just a heads up for anyone searching for more info. It is Inunaki, not Inuaki. Inu naki means "dog's howl". edit: ah, and I am sure that has to be "Kona Shi Ne" rather than "Kona shine" considering the user hated Kona, and shi-ne means "DIE!" The user's name was "Die, Kona!"
Nagoshi basically calling everyone in the tournament a massive nerd is the funniest shit to me. It makes sense the dude who made Yakuza is such a huge chad I guess lol.
Man, I forgot how creepy Kisaragi Station is. That and Inuaki Tunnel/Village. I read into the murders that happened in the latter, and can see why they'd want to seal it off. I wonder how many people have tried to go in there. I'm a nerd when it comes to Japanese urban legends and stuff like that, so your channel hooked me instantly.
I don’t know the full history of this, but Windows did start to release official anime girl mascots for many of their operating systems and other applications, with discs that include special themes including voices that would replace many sound effects, greet the user upon booting up, etc. I actually remember vaguely in 2013 they announced Inori Aizawa, a mascot for Internet Explorer, and in the west people were so shocked but kind of amused and I’d see a lot of fan art of her and even fan comics? I vaguely remember there being a surprisingly high quality animation of her, I can’t remember if it was official or fanmade.
i love your speak. i am a non native english speaker and i can understand you very well without captions, your pronunciation is so smooth and your video audio is very clear =)
A town only accessible by tunnel that's not bound by Japanese laws and appears to be abandoned at first glance? Isn't that the setup for Spirited Away?
I definitely heard many of these in my youth, but had no idea (or maybe just forgot?) their origins were 2chan. I was actually trying to recall denko the other day, but all I could remember about it was that OP said at one point that he could make spaghetti. also, if konashine hated konata that much is it possible the name should've been read less like shine as in sparkle and more like shine as in 死ね? with "kona" being the start of "konata" of course. I'm unsure if that'd be likely or not though.
The station story reminds me of a story I once heard years back about a station that used to exist between uguisudani and ueno station. Whenever you pass by in the tunnel, you can see a boarded up exit inside the tunnel. I started making a manga about this awhile back.
I think the best part of OS-tans is that there is an actual official OS-tan for Windows 7! Nanami Madobe was designed by Windows to make promo items for its release in Japan. There's even a commercial for Windows 7 that has her explaining the specs for it. They even released two of them for Windows 8, Yuu Madobe and Ai Madobe.
While the OP from the Elizabeth story may suffer from prosopagnosia, that last bit of Hanako saying that wasnt her and not remembering writing Elizabeth in the papers makes me feel there's more to Hanako/Elizabeth than OP said. I dont feel she's faking her identity, cause if she did she wouldn't have told OP that she was Hanako, so the best explanation i can come up with is that Hanako/Elizabeth suffers from some kind of dissociative disorder, since identity confusion/alteration is really common in those disorders, i doubt she outright has DID (although its entirely possible and would explain the back and forth switch from Elizabeth to Hanako, her forgetting she wrote Elizabeth in the papers and her being confused by a name when going by the other) , but maybe she suffers from dissociative fugues or DPDR or something like that.
I want to add that when School days aired next week, the ending was that one of the main girl floated on a boat.So people was joking about it said "Oh, turn out nice boat was just foreshadowing." The epsiode also spwam another meme "There is nothing inside."😏😏
yea seriously! while japanese culture and american / english culture has always had similarities. internet culture is where you see it overlap the most. and where each online culture will sometimes interact and influence the other. for me realizing that AVGN is a bit of a popular meme online in japan was surprising but also perfect. he does review old japanese game consoles after all, and the nerdy techie type persona down to the outfit is pretty much the same in both cultures
Kind of surprised this wasn't mentioned, but the Inunaki tunnel/village story is so popular that there was actually a movie made about it, called Inunaki Mura/Howling Village (2019). It's pretty much what you would expect from a movie like that, but if you like japanese horror it's a pretty entertaining watch.
As a former Mugen player, The Kusomiso Technique guy (Abe Takakazu) is known to me as a hilarious custom fighter. Essentially, he is a counter based character, quite difficult to master: if you sync well your input, he pulls a nasty trick to get back to his adversary. The moves range from getting behind the opponent to butt fist him or execute a spectacular plane like flip, holding still the guy before landing on the ground for a flash intercourse. I defy anyone not to laugh at the over the top sound effects! And yeah, his ultimate super move involves to take the opponent to the nearest public toilet for total package action, as the manga vignettes illustrate the implied fate of the opponent. Last but not least, to power up, he unzips his jumpsuit, puts his pixelated schlong on a table and get hit by guy wielding a wooden bokuto. No, no, I swear! I don't make these up!
Seeing that the nice boat thing had so many memes, and hearing that interspecies reviewers got an episode replaced in the same way makes me SO disappointed i've not seen memes of interspecies reviewers like that like Crimvael going "WOAH nice boat!" (also amazing video! absolutely fascinating topics, i was enthralled with he fiancé story)
Love seeing 2ch content! I find it funny how both 2ch and 4chan are the most influential websites for the spreading of memes, and Japanese net culture has always fascinated me. I hope to see much more of this series!
The haunted village and the train station were adapted into movies later. I was lurker into 2chan before but interested into idols not infamous urban legends.
This is such a good, well produced video! I've never heard most of these stories before. The kisaragi one is my favorite, and I also loved the drawings going with that rera story for some reason, they are just so nicely drawn and unsettling in a fun way
I was so happy to see the OS maids make an appearance! Weird 2chan anime characters are a hyperfixation of mine lol. Would love to see a video including Yakui and any of the other nijiura maid characters originating on 2chan! ❤
I saw that this had been uploaded and was super hyped, cuz i absolutely love this creators videos. I even watched through the ad when she started talking about yakuza films, cuz, like... hell yeah?! And then it turns out that she liked Yakuza as a franchise?!?! Best creator, 10/10
Yesss! My suggestion was the first one to show up; that makes me so happy! Thanks a lot for doing this series, and thanks a lot for being a fellow Yakuza fan. ✨❤️✨
"dissociative personality disorder" is the funniest butchering of DID i have ever heard of. for those who don't know, it's dissociative identity disorder. its previous name was multiple personality disorder, but it was changed in the 90's because the disorder had dissociation as a part of its symptoms. "personalities" as part of the disorder is horribly out-of-date, as it is now understood that the brain was split into multiple parts, *not* the personality
a girl in my senior english class kept calling it disassociative personality disorder. she also claimed that the term "psychotic" didn't relate to psychosis. she claimed to be very passionate about psychology and "did a lot of research". we systems are tired 😔
The moment I got home from work and saw the title of this video I knew I was in for a treat. I love deep looks at internet history and 2chan has so many great weird and interesting stories. Definitely already one of my favorite videos on the channel already, which is saying a lot.
Related to Denko: there was a whole arg on tumblr based on it - I don't know if it was ever solved or how many people knew about it, my friends and I got stuck on it, but I just remembered it was a thing.
i dont know of this would be considered notorious but i believe its on the same line as moetron and OS-Tan, i think you should mention Nijiura Maids at some point. i believed they were invented on 2chan, these little maid characters with very distict personalities. there were tons. i’m not sure of the history of them on 2chan but i know now they have an extremely different audience of mostly russians and even have a type of music “maidcore” inspired by them. its a very interesting rabbit hole, would be cool to see someone talk about it here! ❤
I'd just like to mention that Prosopagnosia (which btw, highly comorbid with autism! Your fun psychology fact for the day), aka face blindness, works much like real blindness in that there are levels of it. Some people have fairly mild cases, some struggle a little more, some are totally faceblind and have to rely solely on things like body language, consistent fashion choices (including hair & makeup), and voices. Some faces may also be harder to distinguish than others. For example: Whereas, generally speaking, when someone has trouble telling two people apart, it's due to something like genetics, or race - which I think *usually* applies to prosopagnosia, too - for me, I actually have the hardest time with other white folks; particularly white men, age 25-55, medium to dark hair, *especially* if they are conventionally attractive. A lot of Hollywood just looks like the same white guy copypasted five hundred times. Another reason why I very much love diverse casts (as long as it isn't some gross shoehorned-in thing someone casually tossed together for potential added revenue). There was a half-decent movie starring Milla Jovovich where she develops prosopagnosia after surviving a run-in with a serial killer. The rest of the movie is a mystery-thriller that follows Milla's character as she adjusts to life with both face blindness and, let's be real, PTSD, while also trying to make sure she isn't taken out by the killer, who is still at large. Not a masterpiece, but a decent watch! And Milla Jovovich is always fun to watch one way or another.
One time, I clicked around on 2chan, using a browser extension that translates the japanese into english, and I dont know where I went, but I found myself on a thread with the topics of diaries or journal entries. From there I clicked a link to another message board, where people could have anonymous digital diaries. And some of them were fucking creepy. Like written by stalkers and such. I wish I did save it, as I was never able to find that page again. xD
@@random_guy642 I can not remember the name, it was years ago. Not even sure if it still exists, but I assume a google search for translation extensions could help. I am not even sure anymore how I found it in the first place. I think I saw a creepy youtube video of a person showing it off and I wanted to read the diaries, too. It was connected to the topic of anonymous message boards, popular in Japan, which then of course lead to infamous 2chan and thats the last thing I remember. xD Sorry, that I can not be of more help!
That Hanako Elizabeth story sounds like op may have a mental disorder I forgot the name of it but it basically causes the person who has it to become convinced that one or more people they know were replaced by an imposter for one reason or another
Awesome vid!! Yeaaa I hope you do muches and muches more of this type of content. So many ppl attempt to cover 2chan and do not do it justice for all the lovely weebs out here who already have lotsa existing knowledge on Japan n the culture. Thanky yooo Sakura 😻
I love you made a video on this topic! I knew a few but it's been so long and I always wanted to know 2chan's history having grown on some of 4chan's. Hope you continue this!
Excellent video! Inunaki Village has to be one of my favorite Japanese urban legends. (though admittedly I don't know a ton). Any urban legend involving a town or location disappearing (either literally or officially) always fascinates me. I don't think it's true, obviously, but it's a really cool/terrifying thing to think about. Also imagine if other companies used stock boat footage to replace scheduled events/media. Imagine if a bunch of people showed up to a concert only to find out it got cancelled and instead they just show boat stock footage for three hours. btw Kisaragi Station is mispelt in the chapter name fyi, hate to be that guy but thought I'd let you know before this video blows up
Ohhh thanks for the video - it sure brings back memories! As to the last entry, Microsoft actually created an official OS-tan for Internet Explorer and made a (well-produced) video with her. It's available here on youtube (name is Inori Aizawa). Guess she didn't survive the transition to Edge...
the first story of the Inunaki village really reminded me that ghibli movie, forgot the name, but there’s a couple with a daughter, they go through a tunnel and find a town, feast, then get turned into pigs etc etc
The thing about Yanaraika? that gets me is that the video of the dudes dancing is a cover version of an anime song: Balalaika from Kirarin Revolution. It replaces the title with "yaranaika" and makes the lyrics masculine (such as changing pronouns and using "manly heart" instead of "womanly heart") but otherwise the lyrics are the same. Kirarin Revolution is a children's anime and the original song was sung by a 14/15 (?) year old Japanese idol -- Kusumi Koharu, who was the voice actress for the anime's main character and sang most of the songs. I have no idea if Koharu's aware of the Yaranaika? song, but the fact that an obscure BL manga got turned into a meme and became so big someone decided to make a (really well done) gay cover of an idol song from an anime for kids is what makes me love the internet.
On the subject of the replaced gf, he might have simply have had a stress induced delusion of his gf being a different person. Someone should have proved into his personal life. He might have been stressed from work and had delusions of his gf being replaced, especially exasperated by him proposing to her. The new big decision in his life probably made him doubt he should marry her and somehow started believing she was replaced. Too bad he probably did not seek medical attention
Bro i remember reading kuso miso technique a long time ago(pls don’t ask me how ive been to a lot of questionable places on internet) and Gawdd that one was a wild ride even for a veteran fujoshi like me☠️☠️
If the person hates Konata, then wouldn't the name Konashine be こなしね, not the English word 'shine'? Considering that'd basically be "drop dead Konata'", it makes sense.
Really cool stories! I can't get enough of these and constantly try to find those that I've never heard of as well. Hope you are doing well and I can't wait for your next upload. Thanks! 👏👏👏
A guy who's pretty good at doing voices, Brendaniel, read out the WHOLE Denko saga, and it's way crazier in real time. There are a few outdated/offensive words used, but the post happened a while ago when the words were less condemned, and it's on Japan's version of 4chan, so whatdda you expect. (& some annoying voices) The stalker seems real self-depricating and yet only seems to listen to the positive responses to his post, whether they're trolls or not... The weirdest thing is, he seems to have SOME sense at first, telling somebody who said to follow her from work to her house that "THAT'S JUST BEING A STALKER". But he just seems to devolve from there. Also Brendaniel isn't used to the different emojis and keeps calling the one the stalker uses most a "stupid fuckin' hamster face", and it's pretty amusing because you can hear the seething rage in his voice after he gets tired of repeating it, but eventually he just integrates it into the sentences he's reading, with the same tone and all.
@@princeofdew8980 Specifically, I was thinking about them using the word "aspie" (referring to Asperger's Syndrome, which used to be a subset of Autism, but now is just fully under Autism and isn't it's own thing anymore) as an insult, the same way people would use autistic as an insult. The only other possible one I caught after re-watching all the videos is the word "retarded", but that's about it.
The lost cursed video About the girl and the box, could they have seen like a clip from the game Kuon? Its an obscure ps2 horror game from Fromsoft and has a lot to do with girls and boxes and disfigurement

I’m listening to this on a bus and right as you said “OP said that they only sent 600 emails” police sirens passed by and I thought it was the video 💀💀💀
Kuma bear has more influence than just the p-bear. From Kuma to 4chan it jumped to a Finnish imageboard (Kuvalauta) and turned into Spurdo Spärde. It is used as a simple character to mock newcomers on the board, often shown speaking with a mocking tone. Later it turned into another meme, Gondola. It is interesting how simple emoji turned into something else.
Spurdo Spärde sounds like a proto version of that mocking SpongeBob meme the kids use these days

The original spurdos were were crudely drawn versions of pbear, but I think the one everyone uses nowadays was morphed with pepe

i have face blindness as well, and i can admit that the situation of forgetting a loved ones face with a hairstyle change is totally possible. one time my mom got her hair dyed a bit darker then normal and i didnt reconize her and cried (i was six).
Oh I don’t have face blindness but I definitely cried hysterically when my mom dyed her hair red and I didn’t recognize her when I was around the same age. Kids are very sensitive to changes like that 😅
@SunshinePIRRATA YES THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME SO OFTEN!
@SunshinePIRRATA with face blindness, you are actually unable to recognize faces.
Human brains are wired to find human faces (it's why so many people saw Jesus in toast) it's why 👁️👄👁️ is a "face"
People with face blindness. See the individual bits but not the sum.
Following someone with the same height hair and clothes of another person happens to absolutely everyone eventually.
A face blind person literally wouldn't recognize a person with hat on if they didn't always have the hat.
@SunshinePIRRATAI might not have been diagnosed with face blindness, but if you suddenly can't tell two of your colleagues apart anymore just because they both changed hairstyles or one changed to the same hairstyle as the other - that really makes you think.
I dont have face blindness (thankfully as I'm already a socially anxious person and the idea of forgetting the face of one of the people who I feel comfortable around is terrifying for me) but when I was about 6, the first time my dad shaved his beard, I screamed and cried and didn't believe it was him.
To this day I hate when he doesn't warn me if he shaves his beard off (thankfully he doesn't do it often. He genuinely looks like a giant baby without a beard despite being 55 lmfao it's kinda creepy for me)
It's interesting how some people would rather think "Hm, she must of of accidently went to a different dimention" instead of believing Kisaragi Station is just made up.
Creepypastas are common in Japan too and some people get really into it.
Sometimes, it's funner to imagine the insane.
@@skeletonking2501 It is fun to imagine that sort of stuff
Honestly that story would make for a good horror movie, in my opinion. This lone Japanese girl going on a train only for her to end up in another dimension. Her seeing that one legged man makes it very clear this story is fake.
@@falcon_arkaig I looked it up and it is a horror movie. It's called Kisaragi Station.
Here in Brazil there is a similar urban legend to that of the Kisaragi Station, its called Setealém
The word Setealém means "seven beyond", like "seven stops beyond". Some stories about it have the narrator getting on a bus that is going to Setealém, and the other passengers advising them to get out of the bus. There are other stories in which people teleport to Setealém through bathrooms, specifically shopping mall bathrooms. Like, thet enter the bathroom in a normal mall, and get out in a mall in Setealém.
Great video as always!
os guri ae
Brasil mencionado
I love Brazil
Brasil mentioned
That's super cool, I love hearing about local legends!!!
thank you for your hard work! just wanted to add that i think the shine part of konashine is not supposed to be read like the english word 'shine' but '死ね', telling konata to die
came to the comments to say this lol ☝️
Ohh interesting
Wait. So if the fiancee said her name was Hanako, then he asked her "then why did you sign the marriage certificate as Elizabeth?", and she seemed confused by it, why didn't he go back and check the certificate? That seems like the most obvious thing to do. If she really went by Elizabeth, the marriage certificate should prove it. Now that she claims her name is Hanako and never used the name Elizabeth, that piece of paper is the key to solve this. If it says Elizabeth, then something fishy's going on. If it says Hanako, then OP had some sort of episode.
Even if he found the certificate and it doesn't say Elizabeth and it says Hanako he will just believe she switched it. That's the problem with delusions like this. He could get a fresh copy from the government that she couldn't have possibly tampered with and still believe she got to the government or the government is in on it. You can't reason with delusions
That's what actually happened in the end. The fiancee didn't recognize Elizabeth either. She had a copy of the certificate with her actual name, which was Hanako, and some old photos. Turns out someone snuck into OPs home to alter the photos (which is why he didn't recognise her face on them).
@@catvicddlm1884 wait what the fuck. Why did someone do that?
@@catvicddlm1884 Wait, source?
@@ribozyme2899 It was on a video that went through all the posts (the video in in spanish btw)
Relating to the Hanako Satou thread: person with Prosopagnosia here throwing in my two cents.
On one hand, OP's description of how his fiance and the girl in the photo differ 100% sounds like how I see people. Even looking at photos of myself, I only recognize them by context. I struggle to recognize my own mother in public if I can't remember how she styled her hair that day and can't hear her voice.
On the other, the disorder is not limited to one person. OP would likely be struggling to recognize even his BFF, not just his fiance. I'm not a psychologist, but that sounds like Capgras syndrome to me. Basically, people believe their loved ones have been replaced by imposters and can't be convinced otherwise.
Capgras isn't a disorder, more a symptom of a psychotic illness. Most likely schizophrenia or bipolar or even possibly, brain damage.
@Blooftube Bloof Capgras syndrome is a common comorbidity in schizophrenia, dementia, and bipolar disorder. It also shows up in those with head trauma. The syndrome is pretty rare even then.
The disorder can be limited to one person. Agnosias are extremely varied and rarely is one person going to appear to have the same symptoms as another. For instance, the man who thought his wife's face was a hat had agnosia. But there isn't a condition where a spouse's face gets replaced by random objects, and this exact set of circumstances has probably never happened before. It's just that when he looks at her, apparently, the neuron(s) where "hat" is stored in the object recognition part of the brain, for him, was close enough to her face in his FFA that when the brain could not reach "wife's face neuron" (likely a damaged or destroyed neuron due to neuronal degradation) it diverted somewhere nearby. In his case, hat. In another world, it may have diverted instead to another person he knew, mixing them up, or even to something more absurd like a treasure chest.
In this case, it sounds (to me, but this is 100% me guessing!) that his wife's face neuron (or the path to reach it) was possibly damaged, but there was a nearby new or unused neuron that the brain diverted to and formed new associations with, while retaining the memories and associations of the previous neuron. That is a very simplified version of what I would say if this weren't just a reply to a TH-cam comment. Of course, the brain is insanely complicated, I don't know this man personally, and I'm completely speculating. I am, though, experienced with agnosia.
I don't mean to sound like I know more about your experiences than you do, and I hope I don't!
@@julia3354 Huh. Interesting. Human brains are crazy, aren't they? I guess there's no real way of knowing unless they guy got diagnosed by an actual doctor. It's interesting to speculate from our armchairs, though. :)
@@littledreamerrem7021 it's not a syndrome, its a symptom
Aww man, if you talk about Denko you have to talk about OP sending her a hamster in a box. I remember this story and reading along wih it. Also A-ko apparently became pregnant with OPs child in the last post. It's extremely chilling and terrifying
Ooh that sounds like a true crime case just waiting to happen…
Wasn’t that the follow-up that wasn’t confirmed real?
Welp at least OP got somewhere.
It was never confirmed she got pregnant, and the hamster box was suggested by an anon but Denko guy didn't actually send any hamsters.
The Yaranaika face has me dying due to it being used in The Amazing World of Gumball(episode: The Saint), I doubt the show's creator had any idea of its actual origin.
I bet anybody who might have use it or seen it never knew their existence
Cause I only learn the origin today
I had no idea where it came from too lmao, by the time I started using the internet it was already a popular meme so the origin was lost by then. So funny🤣
@@drawnernotcreative a LOT of people have known from the outset as many of us were first introduced to the face with the source material.
@@YouLikeKrabbyPattiesDontYou Good for you, unfortunately for me I didn't know, I only know from Tawog
They all definitely knew, it was a huge meme when him and the writers were teenagers
god, i remember first reading the denko thread myself in HS. if i'm not mistaken, at least it also ended with her body slamming him into oblivion under some cherry trees or something of that effect? i vaguely remember her making some physical stand against him and everyone cheering for her on the thread.
There have been follow ups but I think they’re considered fake
I really liked this. Especially the Inuaki Village and Kisaragi Station stories. Do you think you could do a video on creepy places in Japan (both real and fictional)? I'd definitely like a deeper dive into Inuaki village.
That’s a good idea! I’ll look into that :)
@@SakuraStardust Yeah. I've heard of Nagoro before. I'm sure you probably have as well. There are probably lots of these little villages.
Just a heads up for anyone searching for more info. It is Inunaki, not Inuaki. Inu naki means "dog's howl".
edit: ah, and I am sure that has to be "Kona Shi Ne" rather than "Kona shine" considering the user hated Kona, and shi-ne means "DIE!" The user's name was "Die, Kona!"
I had heard of Inunaki tunnel, but not Inuaki, so I was confused why it was Inuaki and not Inunaki.
Nagoshi basically calling everyone in the tournament a massive nerd is the funniest shit to me. It makes sense the dude who made Yakuza is such a huge chad I guess lol.
Man, I forgot how creepy Kisaragi Station is. That and Inuaki Tunnel/Village. I read into the murders that happened in the latter, and can see why they'd want to seal it off. I wonder how many people have tried to go in there. I'm a nerd when it comes to Japanese urban legends and stuff like that, so your channel hooked me instantly.
I agree, Im also crazy for Japanese urban legends
I don’t know the full history of this, but Windows did start to release official anime girl mascots for many of their operating systems and other applications, with discs that include special themes including voices that would replace many sound effects, greet the user upon booting up, etc. I actually remember vaguely in 2013 they announced Inori Aizawa, a mascot for Internet Explorer, and in the west people were so shocked but kind of amused and I’d see a lot of fan art of her and even fan comics? I vaguely remember there being a surprisingly high quality animation of her, I can’t remember if it was official or fanmade.
OS-Tan?
i love your speak. i am a non native english speaker and i can understand you very well without captions, your pronunciation is so smooth and your video audio is very clear =)
My soul is melting as I await the inevitable Denko saga recap.
Im thinking "konashine" is probably "kona-shi-ne" as in like, "die, konata", based on how much they dislike her lol
A town only accessible by tunnel that's not bound by Japanese laws and appears to be abandoned at first glance?
Isn't that the setup for Spirited Away?
The Denko stalker is horrifying if it is really real. Hope not.
The tunnel videos kinda creep me out because it's perfect for a jump scare. XD
It's 2ch, it's absolutely real
On a related note, there's a horror game by CHILLA'S ART called *Inunaki Tunnel* which is of course based on the urban legend.
That's sadly pretty common, so there's a big chance that it's real yeah
I definitely heard many of these in my youth, but had no idea (or maybe just forgot?) their origins were 2chan. I was actually trying to recall denko the other day, but all I could remember about it was that OP said at one point that he could make spaghetti.
also, if konashine hated konata that much is it possible the name should've been read less like shine as in sparkle and more like shine as in 死ね? with "kona" being the start of "konata" of course. I'm unsure if that'd be likely or not though.
"Nice boat" was so funny, kinda weird how it only took off in Japan but the stuff that came out was hilarious.
The guy believing that his gf was replaced is so chilling!!!I can’t imagine how frightening it must feel to have nobody believe how you’re feeling!
The station story reminds me of a story I once heard years back about a station that used to exist between uguisudani and ueno station. Whenever you pass by in the tunnel, you can see a boarded up exit inside the tunnel. I started making a manga about this awhile back.
Do you have a link to your manga?
I think the best part of OS-tans is that there is an actual official OS-tan for Windows 7! Nanami Madobe was designed by Windows to make promo items for its release in Japan. There's even a commercial for Windows 7 that has her explaining the specs for it. They even released two of them for Windows 8, Yuu Madobe and Ai Madobe.
While the OP from the Elizabeth story may suffer from prosopagnosia, that last bit of Hanako saying that wasnt her and not remembering writing Elizabeth in the papers makes me feel there's more to Hanako/Elizabeth than OP said. I dont feel she's faking her identity, cause if she did she wouldn't have told OP that she was Hanako, so the best explanation i can come up with is that Hanako/Elizabeth suffers from some kind of dissociative disorder, since identity confusion/alteration is really common in those disorders, i doubt she outright has DID (although its entirely possible and would explain the back and forth switch from Elizabeth to Hanako, her forgetting she wrote Elizabeth in the papers and her being confused by a name when going by the other) , but maybe she suffers from dissociative fugues or DPDR or something like that.
The replaced fiancé story seriously sounds like some Satoshi Kon-esque psychological thriller
I want to add that when School days aired next week, the ending was that one of the main girl floated on a boat.So people was joking about it said "Oh, turn out nice boat was just foreshadowing."
The epsiode also spwam another meme "There is nothing inside."😏😏
Thank you for making these kind of videos! I've always been interested in Japanese internet culture, but it was always difficult to find info on
yea seriously! while japanese culture and american / english culture has always had similarities. internet culture is where you see it overlap the most. and where each online culture will sometimes interact and influence the other. for me realizing that AVGN is a bit of a popular meme online in japan was surprising but also perfect. he does review old japanese game consoles after all, and the nerdy techie type persona down to the outfit is pretty much the same in both cultures
Inunaki Village sounds like the urban legends about particularly isolated rural towns here in North America.
Wow everything in here was so interesting! All killer no filler
Kind of surprised this wasn't mentioned, but the Inunaki tunnel/village story is so popular that there was actually a movie made about it, called Inunaki Mura/Howling Village (2019). It's pretty much what you would expect from a movie like that, but if you like japanese horror it's a pretty entertaining watch.
As a former Mugen player, The Kusomiso Technique guy (Abe Takakazu) is known to me as a hilarious custom fighter. Essentially, he is a counter based character, quite difficult to master: if you sync well your input, he pulls a nasty trick to get back to his adversary. The moves range from getting behind the opponent to butt fist him or execute a spectacular plane like flip, holding still the guy before landing on the ground for a flash intercourse. I defy anyone not to laugh at the over the top sound effects! And yeah, his ultimate super move involves to take the opponent to the nearest public toilet for total package action, as the manga vignettes illustrate the implied fate of the opponent. Last but not least, to power up, he unzips his jumpsuit, puts his pixelated schlong on a table and get hit by guy wielding a wooden bokuto. No, no, I swear! I don't make these up!
konashine is most definitely not read "kona shine" as in 'to shine brightly' but SHI NE as in 'die, kona'
OHHHH wow I can’t believe I didn’t realize that lol
Seeing that the nice boat thing had so many memes, and hearing that interspecies reviewers got an episode replaced in the same way makes me SO disappointed i've not seen memes of interspecies reviewers like that
like Crimvael going "WOAH nice boat!"
(also amazing video! absolutely fascinating topics, i was enthralled with he fiancé story)
Bro, I remember Brendaniel narrating Denko, and I love that thing lmao
Love seeing 2ch content! I find it funny how both 2ch and 4chan are the most influential websites for the spreading of memes, and Japanese net culture has always fascinated me. I hope to see much more of this series!
The haunted village and the train station were adapted into movies later. I was lurker into 2chan before but interested into idols not infamous urban legends.
This is such a good, well produced video! I've never heard most of these stories before. The kisaragi one is my favorite, and I also loved the drawings going with that rera story for some reason, they are just so nicely drawn and unsettling in a fun way
I was so happy to see the OS maids make an appearance! Weird 2chan anime characters are a hyperfixation of mine lol. Would love to see a video including Yakui and any of the other nijiura maid characters originating on 2chan! ❤
13:27 I never seen a single second of the show, but I imagine this is exactly the plot of Rent-A-Girlfriend
I saw that this had been uploaded and was super hyped, cuz i absolutely love this creators videos. I even watched through the ad when she started talking about yakuza films, cuz, like... hell yeah?! And then it turns out that she liked Yakuza as a franchise?!?! Best creator, 10/10
Ironically enough, School Days did, in fact, end on a boat. A really nice boat.
Yesss! My suggestion was the first one to show up; that makes me so happy! Thanks a lot for doing this series, and thanks a lot for being a fellow Yakuza fan. ✨❤️✨
"dissociative personality disorder" is the funniest butchering of DID i have ever heard of. for those who don't know, it's dissociative identity disorder. its previous name was multiple personality disorder, but it was changed in the 90's because the disorder had dissociation as a part of its symptoms. "personalities" as part of the disorder is horribly out-of-date, as it is now understood that the brain was split into multiple parts, *not* the personality
a girl in my senior english class kept calling it disassociative personality disorder. she also claimed that the term "psychotic" didn't relate to psychosis. she claimed to be very passionate about psychology and "did a lot of research".
we systems are tired 😔
@@mammoneymelonironic for you to call her out and then call yourself a system lol.
@@maddieb.4282why is that exactly? i've never really seen anyone talk about did without referring to them having a system
I remember reading the entire Denko thread because I couldn't stop reading it, mesmerizing trainwreck
The moment I got home from work and saw the title of this video I knew I was in for a treat. I love deep looks at internet history and 2chan has so many great weird and interesting stories. Definitely already one of my favorite videos on the channel already, which is saying a lot.
that joke at the beginning got a surprise laugh put of me even though i should have seen that joke coming from a mile away XD
6:02 omg man door hand hook car door. i'm so glad that sort of story is international
Related to Denko: there was a whole arg on tumblr based on it - I don't know if it was ever solved or how many people knew about it, my friends and I got stuck on it, but I just remembered it was a thing.
i dont know of this would be considered notorious but i believe its on the same line as moetron and OS-Tan, i think you should mention Nijiura Maids at some point. i believed they were invented on 2chan, these little maid characters with very distict personalities. there were tons. i’m not sure of the history of them on 2chan but i know now they have an extremely different audience of mostly russians and even have a type of music “maidcore” inspired by them. its a very interesting rabbit hole, would be cool to see someone talk about it here! ❤
I'd just like to mention that Prosopagnosia (which btw, highly comorbid with autism! Your fun psychology fact for the day), aka face blindness, works much like real blindness in that there are levels of it. Some people have fairly mild cases, some struggle a little more, some are totally faceblind and have to rely solely on things like body language, consistent fashion choices (including hair & makeup), and voices.
Some faces may also be harder to distinguish than others. For example: Whereas, generally speaking, when someone has trouble telling two people apart, it's due to something like genetics, or race - which I think *usually* applies to prosopagnosia, too - for me, I actually have the hardest time with other white folks; particularly white men, age 25-55, medium to dark hair, *especially* if they are conventionally attractive. A lot of Hollywood just looks like the same white guy copypasted five hundred times. Another reason why I very much love diverse casts (as long as it isn't some gross shoehorned-in thing someone casually tossed together for potential added revenue).
There was a half-decent movie starring Milla Jovovich where she develops prosopagnosia after surviving a run-in with a serial killer. The rest of the movie is a mystery-thriller that follows Milla's character as she adjusts to life with both face blindness and, let's be real, PTSD, while also trying to make sure she isn't taken out by the killer, who is still at large.
Not a masterpiece, but a decent watch! And Milla Jovovich is always fun to watch one way or another.
One time, I clicked around on 2chan, using a browser extension that translates the japanese into english, and I dont know where I went, but I found myself on a thread with the topics of diaries or journal entries. From there I clicked a link to another message board, where people could have anonymous digital diaries. And some of them were fucking creepy. Like written by stalkers and such. I wish I did save it, as I was never able to find that page again. xD
That sounds interesting, what’s the browser extension name? So that I can poke around too
@@random_guy642 I can not remember the name, it was years ago. Not even sure if it still exists, but I assume a google search for translation extensions could help. I am not even sure anymore how I found it in the first place. I think I saw a creepy youtube video of a person showing it off and I wanted to read the diaries, too. It was connected to the topic of anonymous message boards, popular in Japan, which then of course lead to infamous 2chan and thats the last thing I remember. xD Sorry, that I can not be of more help!
Heads up: it’s not dissociative personality disorder, it’s dissociative identity disorder, two very different things.
As from a DID sufferer
That Hanako Elizabeth story sounds like op may have a mental disorder I forgot the name of it but it basically causes the person who has it to become convinced that one or more people they know were replaced by an imposter for one reason or another
This video was soooo good.. I’ll wait eagerly for part two (´･ω･`)
Awesome vid!! Yeaaa I hope you do muches and muches more of this type of content. So many ppl attempt to cover 2chan and do not do it justice for all the lovely weebs out here who already have lotsa existing knowledge on Japan n the culture. Thanky yooo Sakura 😻
Nagoshi being nagoshi xD thanks for another great video! and happy to know you are a fellow yakuza fan, this game series is everything❤❤
what a wonderful video properly immersed myself into the topics, love to hear about other drama not fully known in the west... from Scotland with love
I love you made a video on this topic! I knew a few but it's been so long and I always wanted to know 2chan's history having grown on some of 4chan's.
Hope you continue this!
Volume 2 is in the works!!
Excellent video! Inunaki Village has to be one of my favorite Japanese urban legends. (though admittedly I don't know a ton). Any urban legend involving a town or location disappearing (either literally or officially) always fascinates me. I don't think it's true, obviously, but it's a really cool/terrifying thing to think about. Also imagine if other companies used stock boat footage to replace scheduled events/media. Imagine if a bunch of people showed up to a concert only to find out it got cancelled and instead they just show boat stock footage for three hours.
btw Kisaragi Station is mispelt in the chapter name fyi, hate to be that guy but thought I'd let you know before this video blows up
I had no idea gijinkas were a thing!! I thought I was wierd for drawing rollercoasters as anime girls 😂
omg the memories that were unlocked by the os-tan segment... i haven't seen those in years
also 44:11 hi cutie!!
Ohhh thanks for the video - it sure brings back memories!
As to the last entry, Microsoft actually created an official OS-tan for Internet Explorer and made a (well-produced) video with her. It's available here on youtube (name is Inori Aizawa).
Guess she didn't survive the transition to Edge...
Those are fascinating themes, please do some more!
I literally know nothing abt 2chan so I hope I learn something😭😭
degeneracy ig
the first story of the Inunaki village really reminded me that ghibli movie, forgot the name, but there’s a couple with a daughter, they go through a tunnel and find a town, feast, then get turned into pigs etc etc
Spirited away?
The thing about Yanaraika? that gets me is that the video of the dudes dancing is a cover version of an anime song: Balalaika from Kirarin Revolution. It replaces the title with "yaranaika" and makes the lyrics masculine (such as changing pronouns and using "manly heart" instead of "womanly heart") but otherwise the lyrics are the same. Kirarin Revolution is a children's anime and the original song was sung by a 14/15 (?) year old Japanese idol -- Kusumi Koharu, who was the voice actress for the anime's main character and sang most of the songs.
I have no idea if Koharu's aware of the Yaranaika? song, but the fact that an obscure BL manga got turned into a meme and became so big someone decided to make a (really well done) gay cover of an idol song from an anime for kids is what makes me love the internet.
I think "konashine" is actually "Kona shi ne" like こな死ね and their whole thing was meant to hate her.
On the subject of the replaced gf, he might have simply have had a stress induced delusion of his gf being a different person. Someone should have proved into his personal life. He might have been stressed from work and had delusions of his gf being replaced, especially exasperated by him proposing to her. The new big decision in his life probably made him doubt he should marry her and somehow started believing she was replaced. Too bad he probably did not seek medical attention
Alright, been waiting for this, time to get creeped out or fascinated or both.
We truly live in a society.

Thank you so much for your wonderful narration and effort that went into this video!
My favorite part of the Denko Saga is the hamster guy
More great content coming out from Sakura yet again!
If the person hates Konata, then wouldn't the name Konashine be こなしね, not the English word 'shine'? Considering that'd basically be "drop dead Konata'", it makes sense.
You are so very talented!! What a wonderful lady you are miss Sakura!
Really cool stories! I can't get enough of these and constantly try to find those that I've never heard of as well. Hope you are doing well and I can't wait for your next upload. Thanks! 👏👏👏
A guy who's pretty good at doing voices, Brendaniel, read out the WHOLE Denko saga, and it's way crazier in real time. There are a few outdated/offensive words used, but the post happened a while ago when the words were less condemned, and it's on Japan's version of 4chan, so whatdda you expect. (& some annoying voices) The stalker seems real self-depricating and yet only seems to listen to the positive responses to his post, whether they're trolls or not... The weirdest thing is, he seems to have SOME sense at first, telling somebody who said to follow her from work to her house that "THAT'S JUST BEING A STALKER". But he just seems to devolve from there.
Also Brendaniel isn't used to the different emojis and keeps calling the one the stalker uses most a "stupid fuckin' hamster face", and it's pretty amusing because you can hear the seething rage in his voice after he gets tired of repeating it, but eventually he just integrates it into the sentences he's reading, with the same tone and all.
Outdated/offensive? What on earth do you mean?
@@princeofdew8980 Specifically, I was thinking about them using the word "aspie" (referring to Asperger's Syndrome, which used to be a subset of Autism, but now is just fully under Autism and isn't it's own thing anymore) as an insult, the same way people would use autistic as an insult. The only other possible one I caught after re-watching all the videos is the word "retarded", but that's about it.
such a fun interesting series, can’t wait for more!
This is so interesting, I love the series already! Thank you so much for introducing us to these topics!
The lost cursed video About the girl and the box, could they have seen like a clip from the game Kuon? Its an obscure ps2 horror game from Fromsoft and has a lot to do with girls and boxes and disfigurement
That game is so damn creepy. That would make sense.
Yay! I’ve been looking forward to this one! Perfect lil treat for a Monday
Ah, OS-tans. That sure takes me back to the time I conceptualized a hypothetical anime about them while knowing nothing about the culture.
Great video u got that top ten mojo voice
Can we reclaim Kuma? I like this bear better, much more silly and wholesome.
29:14 to this day I still reference nice boat, generally to friends with boats
