Link to the Show / Show NotesSometime in early January, this year the 9th, Japan celebrates the young becoming adults. Coming of Age Day is time for the twenty-year-olds to dress up in kimonos, congregate at local city halls, and listen to stiff bureaucrats tell them how important it is to become an adult.The young usually get drunk before, after, and sometimes during the ceremony since they're now legal drinking age. They're also able to vote at the age of twenty, so in this video we see the right-wing black busses showing up to shout their opinions to the newly christened voters. The wing-nuts don't like Communists, kissing in public, or parked cars in their way.. This Coming of Age Day is probably like any other; kimonos, rabbit suits, and big black busses..
