I Had No Idea Japanese Melons Could Be So Damn Terrifying

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

There are local characters in Japan called “yura kyara” (“weak” or “laid back” characters). They often promote local businesses or produce. And being Japanese characters, they’re generally cute. So to promote Yubari melons, which are generally seen as being “cute” as well as often expensive, you’d think the yura kyara would be cute. You’d be wrong.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/in-japan-crap-times-means-12-000-melons-5911048 The Melon Bear character is TERRIFYING.

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
