Don-Don-Don-Donki, Donki Hotei!

Don Quijote is a chain discount store in Japan that sells everything from brussel sprouts to anime figures to simulated vagina cups. Haha ok. I was just kidding about the brussel sprouts.

…

Let’s just say vagina cups are popular in Japan.

Anyway, the store is known with various levels of affection among the locals as “Donki Hotei,” which is Japanese for “OHMYGOD, EVERYTHING HERE IS SO. DAMN. COOL. AND CHEAP! BUYBUYBUYBUYBUY!”

But it’s not the amazing variety of products at reasonable prices found in the multi-storey stores that made me a huge fan, no – it’s the heroin-laced theme song that they play over and over again in the stores.

Try to get that tune out of your head. You will only taste crushing defeat. I read somewhere that they sell the CD in-store for 1500 Yen. This is precisely the kind of extreme profiteering that I frown deeply upon because I couldn’t find it anywhere in the 3 cavernous outlets I visited, despite being ready to hurl my wads of Yen at any object that resembles a blue penguin on a CD.

Maybe I was just distracted by the vagina cups.
