(Translated and arranged by Saya)
ππThis is one of the legendary threads from 2 Chan.
1 (OP) :
Wow ~~~ amazing...
2:
Where is it?
3 (OP):
I forgot to look up the name of the place
4:
Yes it looks amazing but where is it
5:
Wow ~~
6(OP):
And it's snowing!
7:
No wonder it feels so cold ~~
8:
Which ward?
(Note: there are 23 wards in Tokyo. See Wikipedia )Also see the guide to the 23 City Wards of Tokyo)
9:
I think it's Taishakuten of Shibamata
10 (OP):
>>9
That's probably it
11 (OP):
It's taking me so much time to post these because of the upload limit
12:
Shibamata? The place is almost part of Chiba.
(Note: Chiba is a prefecture adjacent to Tokyo)
13 (OP) :
14 (OP) :
There was a cat there
15:
Kawaii
16:
I love kanban neko like them
(Note: Kanban neko literally means a signboard cat. If the cat belongs to a shop, it means the cat is like a mascot of the shop.)
17 (OP):
18 (OP):
I don't know what this one is, but I stroked its feet just in case
19:
>>18
Puzzling
21:
>>18
Isn't this Kin-san of Toyama?
(Note: Kin-san is a legendary figure from the Edo period who was a government official but lived among the commoners and helped them. See Wikipedia)
22:
>>21
Are you dumb? It's Tora-san...
(Note: Tora-san is the main character of a famous film series "It's tough being a man." See Wikipedia)
20:
You really are a country bumpkin LOL
23 (OP):
I've come to a soba-ya (Note: a noodle shop).
24:
Isn't it too early to go there?
(Note: you would normally go to such a shop only at lunchtime or dinner time. The OP is posting this in the morning, just before 10 am.)
25 (OP):
>>24
I got up early so it can't be helped
The so-called Shibamata Deep-Fry was good ( school child reaction)
(Note: School child reaction (Konami-kan) was a popular internet slang at the time and describes an awkward and uninteresting way of reacting.)
26:
You haven't taken the picture of it!
27 (OP):
>>26
I've forgotten to take it...
28:
There seems to be less people in Tokyo than I expected. Have many of them gone back home?
(Note: this thread appeared on 31st December, and many people who originally came from the countryside would have gone back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year.)
29:
There is nothing to see in Shibamata
30 (OP):
Here it comes
31:
>>30
Looks good
33:
>>30
WHAT!?
You are not alone?
35:
>>33
Could be their boyfriend (who cares)
32:
Why don't you go to Skytree? You aren't far from there
(Note: Tokyo Skytree is the tallest structure in Japan. See Wikipedia.)
34:
Kamo banban
(Note: they probably meant a kamo nanban, a noodle dish with duck meat. See Wikipedia.)
36:
You dare to go travelling with several people even though you are an On-J resident!?
(Note: On-J is a Jikkyo Board (live commentary Board) in Open 2 channel.)
37:
The table is too small for two people... Don't you think?
38 (OP):
The soba was superb!
(Note: the signboard says "Soba Dokoro," literally meaning a soba place. It's a traditional way of saying a soba shop)
39:
Since when?
(Note: I think they meant "since when the OP has been with someone else?")
41:
He is not traveling alone? (Confused)
42(OP):
Looks so forlorn...
43(OP):
Now I am at a place called Yamamoto-Tei
(Links:
Yamamoto-Tei, Tokyo -- Traditional-style house with a garden.)
44:
A beautiful garden
45(OP):
47 (OP):
A mysterious looking Western-style room.
48 ( OP):
51:
>>48
Wait. what...?
53:
>>48
He uploads a picture of his friend all of a sudden
61:
>>48
SCARY
62:
>>48
What the hell is this
64:
>>48
Huh? What is this...?
65:
>>48
Can someone explain what this is
66:
>>48
This is bothering me
67:
>>48
This turn of events could have been something out of Gag Manga Biyori. LOL
(Note: the title of a manga series. See Wikipedia.)
70:
>>48
So what was it in the end?
93:
>>48
Creepy as hell.
I'm leaving this comment as a memento.
(´・Ο・`)
132:
>>48
I'm scared
133:
What is it really...
153:
>>48
*screams*
49 (OP):
I posted a picture of a friend from my school by mistake
This is what I wanted to post
50:
What...?
52 (OP):
I'm now in Saitama
(Note: another prefecture adjacent to Tokyo)
55 (OP):
Saw this on my way home
57:
That disturbing picture LOL
59:
What is it -- bullying?
60:
I wonder where the OP is now
63:
Deeply disturbing
71:
Creepy
75:
Why did he disappear so suddenly, without finishing the thread?
76:
We must not let this incident sink into oblivion
77:
You guys are overthinking.
He said it was just a friend
82:
I wonder what it really was?
98:
It's creepy how the OP has stopped responding
101:
What is it...?
103:
Disturbing
89:
What really happened...? *Trembles in Fear*

Creepy and disturbing, alright.
This stories definitely scares the crap out of me and im gald it did cos i need the unexpected 'shock' to wake my body up XD
Have a good day to you and all the readers :) Stay safe!
When I first read it, it was night time, and it nearly rendered me sleepless!
Thank you so much for your comment ππ§‘✨
I appreciate your enthusiasm for my blog!
I am sorry it tends to take me a long time to publish a new story! I get really lazy because it can be so hard to translate Japanese into English, Japanese being such an ambiguous sort of language...π±⭐
I'm glad it woke you up! You don't want to spend the rest of the weekend feeling lethargic! π✨
Thank you ever so much for taking the time to comment! Messages from the blog readers are what keep me going with this blog πππ§‘ππ✨
Have a wonderful day yourself! Take care π✨
It's creepy because the OP seemed to be a harmless and regular sort of person!
Thank you so much for your comment ππ΅π✨
.it's not cryptic story but my criminal mind is giving ideas that 'this' country bumpkin kill that-almost-naked man and mutilated his body and the pictures in OP trip is where he dump the bodies
I hope he didn't do that!π€£✨⭐
If that's the case, the friend he was with in that noodle shop might have been his next victim! π€£π΅✨
Thank you so much for your comment!ππ·✨
I had a rough day today, and reading your latest translation cheered me up so much uwu
I especially enjoyed this one because I'm a fan of Japanese travel vlogs. They're my escapism because I don't have the time to have vacation since covid started >_<
I hope you're having a lovely weekend Saya!! <3
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! I always try to incorporate cultural information in those stories wherever I can, so that people will enjoy learning about Japanese culture as much as the experience of reading the stories!
I'm sorry you had a rough day! It's good it cheered you up ! LOL
Thank you so much for your comment! Have a wonderful weekend and take care! You are lovedπ❤️✨
That picture was really unexpected, however, I wouldn't think much of it.
There could be millions of explanations for that one picture.
It may be a sad picture of the OP himself.
However, the quick disappearance of OP from the thread was sus, though.
But I did enjoy the rest of the pictures.
~ nunu ~
Thank you so much for your comment!ππΈ✨
I truly did not expect that photo LOL
I thought it was going to be some ghost he came across while walking around!!
Creepy indeed.. and a "friend" eh.. π
Really enjoyed the week's post! 2chan threads seem to be very interesting most of the time! Thank you again!
γγ€γγγγΎγ§γ!
I wish I had a creepy friend like that to take a picture of, so I can show them to you people π€£✨
Yes, there are some great old threads out there, but most of them are long π ⭐hence I have not translated them...
