I really was at a loss when I read this news. How can someone be so stupid!! One guy tried to rob convenience store, to do this he wore a monkey animal suit and mask. (to be precise this would be animal pajamas, Romantice maybe if your GF or BF wear them beside you, but not ideal for armed robbery?). He tried to get money by showing a knife or something, but he did not get any thing and run away in the end. This is stupid enough, but the funny part is the reason why he was arrested. The police found the banana that was a part of the constume in his room. This is the type of suit he wore. Look! yes there is a banana!.
Since Japan does not have Halloween, usually we do not have a chance to dress up. So this kind of "costume play" is a kind of hobby for certain peopole, such as anime Otaku people?!. Psychole cemu is a costume band, and they are popular among animation otaku of Japan and the U.S.
But recently normal people, not only animation Otaku seem to be enjoying dresseing up and wearing animal suits. I was surprised to find a lot of online costume shops on the Internet. I checked out the best selling costumes- this is supposed to be Sonpojya Panda?. this is for setsubun!(see yesterday's post) and of course we need this; Lupin the 3rd. Ha ha I was laughed at this one. Can you guess? YES!A Yong sama set!!. However personally this entire fit suit is the most attractive to me..... Strange?
I just checked out the full selection of costumes on www.nitta-inc.co.jp and had the best laugh. Hats off to all the models involved - they carry off the gear with such panache!

haha i remember a TV show about the most stupid criminals in the USA it's sooo funny and they all do that kind of things.
Anyway i think it's better hearing about stupid criminals on the news than wars and murders and stuff like that.
The suit.. it's cool. =)

nice! i love stupid criminals. we have our share in the U.S. as well, probably more than other places, we have entire shows dedicated to these freaks. one guy actually went to rob a bank, forgot his mask, found a role of duct tape in his car, and taped his face up, he left eye holes so he could see, but forgot to leave a hole for his mouth. by the time he started to rob the bank, he passed out in the lobby from lack of oxygen. unbelievable!
and yes, that entire fit suit..........strange indeed.
