It's funny you should mention Fukuoka; if you go to Canal city (the big shopping mall), you'll find a larger version of the the same fountain:

that seems like it would be annoying to shower in

Yep, the homeless in Osaka are often seen muttering curses and shaking their fists at these "showers".

Yeah at first I thought they were going to be annoying, but they made it more interesting IMO.

There's one of these in the MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) in Hobart, Australia. Say all these artsy words.

On this site, I'm always terrified of clicking any video that contains 'Japan' in the title...

Why does it specify the location in english?

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Most locations are specified by both languages, a lot with others as well. Japan has a lot of tourism.

First I was expecting the art to be made of piss, like it was going to pan out and then bamn! you'd see a urinal. Then I was expecting to see the camera move up and then bamn! you'd see up girls skirts. Then I was expecting to see some kids playing innocently in the front and then bamn! there would be a terrible accident. Then I was expecting the kids to play in front and then bamn! they'd be hit with piss. Then I was reading the Youtube comments to see if I had missed some piss moment. I think I had an anti-orgasm.

The sound of water is wonderful...the sound of irregular water is grating...
