Bizarre Japanese festival will let randy weirdos listen to and smell models’ FARTS
The aptly-named 'Everyone Listen to the Farts of Beautiful Women' festival will be held in Tokyo to help celebrate national Girl's Day
A BIZARRE fiesta where oddballs get to listen to and smell the farts of stunning models is to be held in Japan.
The aptly-named 'Everyone Listen to the Farts of Beautiful Women' festival will be held in Tokyo to help celebrate national Girl's Day.
Hinamatsuri is the celebration of young girls growing into adulthood and usually involves exquisite displays of Japanese dolls and the eating of sushi.
But the festival being staged in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo on March 3 gives a very different twist on the festivities.
A spokesman for the event said: "All 120million fart fans across the country, we are sorry to have kept you waiting so long.
"Lefkada Shinjuku is the only place in the world where you can stimulate your senses of sight and smell with beautiful women delivering various styles of farts.
“Various styles of farts, such as farts while wearing street clothes, farts while wearing swimsuits, and farts while wearing cosplay outfits will stimulate your sense of sight and smell.”
The event will be graced by the three trumping adult film stars, Miu Akemi, Tomoka Akari and Saiko Yatsuhashi.
The festival will also feature an "onarap" battle - a play on words as "onara" is the Japanese word for fart.
The contest is effectively a rap battle in which the performers have to end each line with a special blast of wind.
WEIRD JAPANESE FESTIVALS
Fancy a trip to the famed fart festival this March? Here are a few unmissable other Japanese traditions you can see. If any of these seem confusing you’ve probably read them right.
Paantu Punaha – Run away from the monsters! This festival sees punters dress up as folklore ghoul Pantu, who then head around Okinawa island throwing mud at buildings, cars, and pretty much everything that can be seen.
Otaue Matsuri – Part of the wider ‘rice-planting’ festival, half naked sumo wrestlers in loincloths must fight an invisible god, to give farmers a good harvest. Unsurprisingly the sumo wrestler loses every year.
Rokugo no Takeuchi – Not for the faint-hearted, this festival sees contestants bludgeon each other with bamboo sticks, with injuries unavoidable.
Hadaka – Each February, 9000 men every year dress in loincloths at the famous Saidaiji temple. Competitors brave the cold to take home a special ancient Japanese wooden charm.
Nakizumo – Dating back centuries, Japanese toddlers are brought into a sumo ring to be shaken by wrestlers. The first to cry is then declared the winner, and if no baby cries they simply shake faster.
Setssubun – One unlucky man dresses as an evil spirit, while a large crowd throw beans and shout abuse at him. Every Spring the whole shebang is televised.

It is not clear exactly what else the festival involves - but the official press release warns festival goers that nothing is guaranteed.
The bottom line reads: "Please understand that depending on the physical condition of the performers, farts may not come out."
Over 18s who buy advanced tickets priced at 4,000 JPY (£26) will also receive a "fart present" while festival goers can also pay 4,500 JPY (£30) on the door.
