Judging by the comments, a lot of you out there know the truth of this comic strip!  Glad I'm not the only one that notices the hardcore music some restaurants and stores play in Japan.  It makes sense that they wouldn't notice if it's in a foreign language but it still catches me off guard.  If you've been in this same situation, I'd love to hear your stories!  Oh, and please continue to spread the word about this comic to your friends!  Especially, if they are living in Japan!  Thank you.
