Fucked Up Japan

Before one can entered the hallowed halls of Otaku-ness, there is a traditional Japanese ceremony that must be performed and then shown to the world on YouTube. One might in fact call it a form of hazing.
The ceremony, handed down from generation of otaku to generation for almost 5 months now, is the ultimate homage (you’ll have to imagine an accent over the o, my keyboard doesn’t do them) to arguably the best Otaku game out there - Idolmaster on the 360. New recruits are forced to enact a meeting with their producer, culminating in a dance performance while wearing a pink dress.

(Skip to about 1/2 way if you just want the dancing!)

Shocking, I know. Perhaps even more shocking is that this isn’t a hazing, but just another typical otaku hobby. Hey, we’ve all been there.

Thank you samurai soapbox... who seems to be a little down on this poor guys cross-dressing cosplay efforts - personally I think he’s pretty hot. Hot like a lukewarm iced coffee thats been carelessly left out on a beautiful summers day, defying it’s iced origins to be accepted into the realm of… oh, fuck it.
