Hey everyone!

Hope everyone is having a great day thus far, I'm sure you all can't wait for Fanime.

Japan is known for being the place of "kawaii" - everything is cute, bubbly and just so...for a lack of a better term "kawaii."
But what about its darker side? Does it even have a dark side?? Yes - it absolutely does. This dark side can be described with the
terms: "Kimoi" and "Kowai." From the random fetish service industries in the red light district of Kabukicho to the serial murders and ghost stories, there is quite a bit of darkness in Japan.

Please do stop on by in case if you're interested - and don't worry it won't be all so grim. There are quite a few humorous aspects to the Kimoi and Kowai as well.
