There is an interesting phenomena in Japan, that perhaps someone more enlightened than I can explain. They love American words on t-shirts but often it doesn't make sense. Maybe there is something lost in the translation? Or maybe it is just like all the bad Japanese characters people in America get as tattoos that end up not meaning what they think it means.Anyway, we do have an ongoing list of befuddling words on Japanese t-shirts. I think the one that won top prize was:
MILKSHAKES AND PIMP JUICE
But the complete list is as follows (this is a short list of course, we didn't start documenting them until late in the trip):
THROW IS IT A MIRACLE
I LOVE HAPPY
BLANK GENERATION
I LOVE DEER FORREST OF TREASURE
DELICIOUS GIRL, DELICIOUS WORLD
INHABITANT 19
MUCHOHOLIC
LETS CRAZY YOU
BEAT FOR THE BEACH
FAIRIES HEARD THE VOICE FROM THE REAR

Some resident English-speakers in Japan have put together quite a collection of "Engrish" plus humorous commentary. www.engrish.com
