[quote=@Lennon79] Yes. It is completely and utterly true. I'm considering trying it myself, but 8000 odd yen (around 80 USD) for a roast chicken is ridiculous. As for Christmas itself... seems kinda quiet really. There's a couple of lights up, some decoration in shops. A few Christmas offers. The only real in your face thing is the couples showing off their romantic Christmas getaway plans. Bastards. [/quote] That makes sense, since it's technically a religious holiday. Cool. I suppose Japan has it's own share of festivals and celebrations that dwarf it by comparison. Judging by that last remark, I take it you have not been successful in acquiring a kawaii uguu waifu? Heh.
