Postcards from the Land of the Rising Sun: Pussy Soup


I decided to begin a new feature on the blog so I can keep track of all the bizarre shit I find from Japan.

I feel that every video that I come across is like a glimpse into the very surreal life of these people in the Far East. I'd like you all to think of this blog as some kind of cultural trading post or some other equally pretentious analogy, and use it thusly.

As for this video, I've got no fucking clue. Obviously there are cats that make soup in it, hence the name "Pussy Soup." They apparently use lasers in their soup-making and sometimes have fire-eyes, but there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered. First and foremost in my mind, are the puppet cats perceived as different in this world or are they the same?

This is the same problem I had with Rolf running a kennel in The Muppets Take Manhattan. WTF, man?

Also, I'm pretty sure I heard the phrase "chocolate titty" in the clip, but that might have been Japanese. Or maybe someone really said "chocolate titty." I rule nothing out.

  2. I'm glad I'm not the only one that heard that.
