As you might have guessed from my last name (Kobayashi), I’m Japanese. More specifically, I was born and raised in the US, but my ancestors were from Japan. Even more specifically, my mom’s from Osaka, Japan where I spent a few summers as a kid.
I used to wonder if it had much effect on me to have spent so much time in Osaka and then I see something like this:
and it makes me think: yeah, I think it did…

What fuuny people !
If everybody was like that in Osaka, I’d love to live there (among my fellow lifeproof clowns)…
Ps : Is it correct ? My english’s so bad. I think this is at best passable globish.
Hehe – I love watching Japanese television (and I don’t understand Japanese)! There is nothing else like it anywhere.
Hey Deluxe, your English is fine! But what’s a “lifeproof clown”?
As for Japanese television… yeah, it’s pretty awesome but strange. Comedian Donald Glover has a funny explanation for it at the end of this routine:

This has totally changed my (baseless) impression of Japanese people.
That’s awesome.
To me a “lifeproof clown” is the opposite of the typical guy you see in the street: he looks like a zombie because his life is boring, so he is unhappy, and so on.
A lifeproof clown is a real half-full glass guy… (quite) whatever happens, he’s in good mood and you can see it.
He broke his car with no injury for no one? That was just a pack of iron. No need to worry/grumble.
He met a pure beauty in the street? his day will be delightful.
Wookie !
Oh and due to the fact that he doesn’t take himself seriously, you can see him do anything weird to amuse himself and his entourage. Here you go for the “clown”.
