Damn, at first I don't even understand it's Dagashi Kashi not Yofukashi no Uta.

 

[uncre4tive]

lmao did the actual ghost show up

 

[nightmoves17]

So there's no ghost, but yet there's a strange figure appearing before Coconuts and Tou.

I hope they have tortoiseshell candy...

 

[ValKnight]

Seems like even "ghosts" know about corvid-19

Since ES is determined to make it hard for you to look them up with the brute-force translated candy names, I'll tell you.

Bekkou-ame (lit. "tortoiseshell candy" or "amber candy", due to the color) are very simple suckers made of water and caramelized sugar. They're usually sold at festivals, or even prepared as a science experiment in schools.
And yes, one version of the kuchisake-onna story says she loves them and can be distracted with offerings of them.

(Also medical masks have been commonplace in Japan for DECADES, it's got nothing to do with the COVID outbreak.)

Yeah I know, it's a joke.

 

[Shita-kiri_Suzume]

@s07195 Frankly, I've seen people unironically believe that Naruto invented kyuubi in the past, so I couldn't assume.
