Japanese Men in Underwear Run Around with Giant Computer Screen Cursor

“Oshoi” is just a word repeated for encouragement of sorts. Like “heave ho.”
“Mai” is front, “hidari” is left, “migi” is right, “oshiro” is backwards, “gyaku” is diagonal, usually backwards, and I cna’t make out what they’re saying when they lift the thing.

Yes its Japanese
Washoi = word used by men carrying shrines (Omikoshi) at festivals.

Ikuzo = let’s go! (if you move the mouse quickly)
They say gyaku literally ‘opposite’ when your mouse slows down
Mae = forwards
Ushiro = back
Naname = diagonal

When you click they might be saying yoisho which old men say when standing up.

“but it is maddeningly addictive”

Um…no, not really.

Addictive? Someone is really bored there.

It happens. With over 21,000 posts on Neatorama, even I don’t remember what has been on the blog … Oshoi!

Brief fun!
