Jay Chou’s Fashion Sense Scared Japanese People When He Was At A Tokyo Cafe

Imagine this: you walk into a cafe, and then you find a lone person sitting in the corner, just silently staring into his cup of coffee…

Or maybe not. His eyes are hidden behind tinted shades, so you don’t really know where he is looking. Behind those eyes, he might be throwing glances at his next victim.

But more than that, the most obvious thing here is the fashion.

It reeks of blood, fear and the muted screams of his fallen prey. What you see here… is a gangster… perhaps a yakuza boss.

The menacing presence, with his simple movements of simply sipping coffee and sitting down, had successfully scared away the other customers in the cafe.

No one wants to be involved in that.

By that, I mean this:

It’s Jay Chou in a random cafe in Tokyo

Jay Chou was on holiday with his family and decided to visit this cafe seeing that there was a queue. It’s not known if the line got shorter after he joined the queue, but when he got a seat in the cafe, the customers around him left immediately.

That outfit that seems pretty harmless? The Japanese thought Jay Chou was part of a gang because that was how triad members or gangsters dressed there.

The cafe owner even treated Jay Chou to the meal and advised him not to wear like that the next time.

I can only imagine the reveal went something like this:

Cafe Owner *shaking*: Dear customer, uhm… the other customers are… intimidated by you. May I get you to sit in the corner over there?

Jay Chou: Ok, but why are they scared?

Cafe Owner: My sincerest apologies, but this area isn’t used to the yakuza or gang…

Jay Chou: Me? A gangster? More like gang STAR! Actually, I’m not in a gang, and just Jay Chou wanting an afternoon of chilling in a cafe.

Cafe Owner *looks carefully*: Shit, you’re right! You’re that Jay Chou! How the F did we miss that?

Jay Chou is supposedly popular in Japan as well, but I’m not sure if this included Japanese fans. Maybe that’s why they didn’t recognise him.

Pity that he can’t wear the outfit next day

On the next day, he thought his outfit would suit the place he visited.

…and it might even make the meal free.

Unethical thoughts in cheapo writer: Hold on… Does this mean… I should wear this in Japan?

Anyway, it all turned out to be just a funny situation of misunderstandings.

Pardon me as I do research on what gangs commonly wear in S’pore…

(actually don’t do that, you’ll get into trouble somehow)
