Creepypasta Analysis & Discussion

I kind of love this, but I feel like it would work better if it was localized as opposed to just translated, the story itself is really interesting as it is, and I love the truth stranger than fiction aspect of it, but reckon if they made it more immersive by formatting it in a more western news broadcast kind of way it would be more effective (for me, at least)

Anonymity in stories and photos is a large part of Japanese cultural.

"Chinese whispers" is what we called the game Telephone in the UK twenty years ago. Don't know if the kids still do, but that's probably where they got the term from.

[benjaminfugman]

The term Chinese Whispers originates from the fact that the Chinese language depends hevily on tone and pitch, because so many Chinese words sound nearly identical require subtle tonal inflection to differentiate them, so it's nearly impossible to communicate accurately while whispering in Chinese. My elementary Chinese 101 Professor explained about Chinese Whispers once, saying that it was like a much older more intense version of the game we call Telephone.

The naming convention makes it sound like you're reading a creepy version of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

A told B and B told C to meet them at the top of the coconut tree.
If I'm recalling corectly in Japan the media is not allowed to disclose names to the public.

I like it. A lot. The journalistic style worked fine, even if the alphabet string was a bit confusing.
I do wonder about "creepypasta" style stories from other parts of the world. I assume most of it is coming from Americans too. Sometimes Canada? Wasn't 1999 from Canada? I think so. But still, English speakers only! Thanks for going off the beaten path!

[benjaminfugman]

Kinda funny that the mysterious man in this story should be referred to as Ecchi.

[FireroseNekowolf]

I wonder how many get the Enron joke...

Asahi is decent, better than Ichiban.
