What a disgusting thing to do. Japan has the weird, disgusting, revolting habits thing locked down. If it comes to Korea, I'm leaving.

"A strange trend among Japanese school-aged children and teens -- licking a friend or lover's eyeballs -- may be perplexing, but experts are more worried about the germs they are potentially spreading..."

Children and teenagers are bloody weird.

It doesn't seem that disgusting. I mean, if you think about, sticking your tongue down someone's throat could be equally yucky.

I don't know what would be worse. Being forced to lick someone's eyeball or being forced to have your eyeball licked. Its so gross..

Guys, do you have any reason to think this is real? This sounds a lot like similar bullstuff American "trends" such as the alco-tampon, eyeball shots, and blowing Pixie Stix. Note that there isn't a single Japanese person on record regarding this, instead A) a music video followed by B) a blog post. Hell, we could start some crazy rumors about Koreans, if that's all we need. Zackback?

Apparently it can result in blindness.

Amazing then that geckoes do it every other minute.

Don't knock it until you have tried it.

No thanks, I'll stick to Bagel heading.

Japan is a unique culture, and it's not really that "popular". There are a plethora of trends in Japan that apply to separate cliques.

There's the MOE scene, There's the Host/Hostess clique, There's traditional businessmen, People obsessed with Zen, Forlorn wanting samurai etc etc.

We don't culture associate fetishes, so I wouldn't really categorize this as Japanese. Rather it exists exclusively in Japan. (Though not to certainty)

It would be like a Korean saying that they saw TOSH.O's video about guys dressing as furries and calling it an American Fetish. While furries do exist in America, it doesn't really cognate with popular culture.

Common enough opinion though. Tentacles though, I would actually consider culturally relevant because of the history associated with it. Another story for another day.

Can't be any more unhygienic than rimming.
