It’s summer! In Japan, that means muggy heat, fireworks, and cold noodles. But for one Japanese celeb, it also means covering oneself in insect shells.
Note: Some readers might get grossed out by these images. I know I kinda did.
Shoko Nakagawa — singer, TV personality, and few years, uploading the images to Twitter. In late July and early August, you can hear cicada (セミ or semi) throughout Japan. You know it’s summer when you hear them.
Online in Japan, this is the Twitter equivalent of marking the season. Just as it wouldn’t be summer in Japan without cicada chirping, it wouldn’t be summer in Japan without Shoko Nakagawa covering herself in cicada shells.
First, she uploaded this photo, which seemed rather whatever. No biggie!

The image was retweeted over 23,000 times. Nakagawa wrote, “Summer came again this year.”
Then, she went and outdid herself by posting these photos.

Now you know what one thousand cicada husks look like on a famous celebrity.
And this happened during one of her concerts.

Of course it did.

kawaiiiii
cicadas are gross and dumb.
The husks are cool and live cicadas are cute imo.
People really need a reality check when it’s comes to insects. Fair enough if u think having bugs crawl on u is a bit creepy. But having the shell of one sit on you is gross and disgusting? Give me a break….
Meh, a billion maggots would have been more interesting than this crap

Ha, semi…
