The work of the Yuki-onna. The waves of economic recession are hitting even the Yokai.

It's getting cold. It looks like it might snow.
Speaking of snow
 
Yuki Onna

Yuki Onna


Almost every region that gets snow has its own unique anecdote.
Yuki-onna is a major character, but if you go to the mountains on a snowy day, you may get caught in an avalanche.
There have been many accidents involving snow, both in the past and now, with people losing their lives to icicles.
Most anecdotes seem to involve the wish to prevent people (especially children) from going into snowy mountains.
Some of the anecdotes even include romantic elements, which makes them quite romantic.
In particular, the story of the Yuki-onna in the manga "Ushio and Tora" was a romantic one.
↓ThisKiyo's Manga Review JournalThe scene has also been introduced by , but even if you only watch it in bits and pieces, it will make you cry.

Well, if she's popular, she must still be getting major exposure...
What's her been up to lately?
So I searched for "Yuki-onna"...
 
 
...I can't believe it, but it seems...Cockroach ExterminationIt seemed like I was doing a commissioned job (laughs).

It's a commercial for Fumakilla Freezing Jet, and I burst out laughing at the acting and the sharpness of the Yuki-onna (lol)
 
This ruins the romantic approach from before.
 
But really, this is the reason why the monsters stopped appearing.
As technology advances, the city becomes brighter and more mysteries are revealed.
Even now, places where monsters can lurk are being lost at an incredible speed.
 
You don't need a Yuki-onna to freeze a cockroach.
 
That's it.
No... it's not like that.
I'm not a promoter for Fumakilla...
Poor Yuki-onna. Uuuuu... She doesn't need to do this kind of work...
If I could call a snow woman, I would definitely hire one.
Summon them in the summer for air conditioning, shaved ice, making ice sculptures, and more...
 
...His thoughts are already those of a rat manThat's me.
 
By the way, I'm from Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture, an area with heavy snowfall.
Most people in areas with heavy snowfall are fed up with snow.
Every year, snow causes damage and deaths.
Because snow is so dangerous, it's easy to see why there are so many stories of Yuki-onna (yuki women) fearing it all over the country.
I'm sure there's no one in this heavy snow area who takes snow lightly.
Children"especially"Be careful.
 
It is essential to keep the area under a roof where snow and icicles may fall.
If you ski or snowboard, be careful not to push yourself on snowy mountains.
Also, quietly, there are kids in Tokyo who get excited about snow and start eating it.
I think it's dirtier than regular rain because it traps more fine particles into crystals, so you should be careful if you see it.
So, please be careful of the snow as the cold season approaches.
