Clever Japanese Protest Against US Military Bases




There have been massive protests recently against the American military bases in Japan. Note the funny protest sign - with a setsubun-inspired message:

福は内〜!平和は内〜!基地は外〜!!
グアムに沖縄に日本に米軍基地は居坐るな!迷惑だ!帰ってくれ!!

***

/Fuku wa uchi! Heiwa wa uchi! Kichi wa soto!
Guamu ni Okinawa ni Nihon ni beigun kichi wa isuwaru na! Meiwaku da!
Kaette kure!!/

***

Luck in! Peace in! Military bases out!
American military bases in Guam, Okinawa, and Japan, do not remain!
It is troublesome! Go home!!

I love it.

And rather than send them back to the USA, let them lay down their arms and disband. Guam, Saipan, Hawaii - they don't need them either. Go home, plant a garden, and live in peace.
