A lovely ‘lost in translation’ from Japan to entertain you in the dreary days of January. (Credit to Jake Adelstein and others for this!)

A department store in Osaka must have thought they were really tapping into mainstream culture when they came up with the signage to promote the January sales this year. Apparently the locals were completely bemused by the delighted camera snapping Zarina Yamaguchi who happens to be bilingual in English as well as Japanese.

What the former Marketing Manager is doing now has not been reported.
