As Yu Darvish explained why he chose to wear the shirt with a picture of a pot leaf on it, Japanese people like to wear shirts with English text on it. Many consider the content of the text to be rather unimportant as long as the design is appealing. This careless attitude can lead to unfortunate incidents such as this:
 |
| Voice actress and J-pop singer Hirano Aya wearing a shirt that says: Did you cum twice too? I need a tongue bath! |
Idols and other influential people should especially think twice of what they wear in public if they don not want to damage their image (or cause stir in their foreign fan-base).
 |
| Tsuji Nozomi, a former member of Morning Musume sporting Drug Dealer t-shirt. |
 |
| I wonder if Matsumoto Jun was fully aware of what was written in his shirt. I saw him wearing this in a show that was aired prime time. |
Even though English does not have a significant role in Japanese daily life, it is still such a global language that people should take more notice in what messages their t-shirts are giving off.
