    You can have fun terrorizing brats without dressing up as a demon.

    Take care and may God bless.

    That gin couldn’t taste any worse than any other gin.

    Actually the festival is practiced nationwide in Japan, not just Akita. The “Seto” in the name describes a particular area, evidently the Akita area. Should really be just Namahage Festival.

    Why do people create drinks from animal poop!! First the coffee from civet poop and now gin from elephant poop. Seriously, who even considered doing this in the first place

    “The Ugly Bug Ball” reminds me of “Mad TV”’s “Lowered Expectations”…

    Please send the young men of Akita Japan to America – they’d be dancing all year long; not just on New Year’s Day!

    The Namahage Seto is actually Santa after his Christmas trip!

    Elephant dung gin probably tastes better than normal gin.

    “Ugly” implies worse than average.

    Gotta admit, Japanese children are pretty well behaved. Well, except for my boy.

    Shinji, get back in that &^$%& robot.

    checked and confirmed that the festival name is incorrect – it’s 柴灯祭 (sedo festival)…

    not “namahage seto”…

    なまはげ (namahage) is the name given to the child abuser ogres…
