Erotic Weather Channels…yes, that’s plural

erotic weather

If you take a look at the sunny days, and you happen to be able to read katakana, you’ll notice that they spell out the word エロ (ero), which, if you do read katakana, you’ll know notice means “erotic.” Considering they were showing eight different locations, as well as the weather for each of them between 6am – 9pm, the chances for this coming up is nil to none. Unbelievably, something similar happened at a different time on the Wii Weather Channel:

According to Japanmanship, the Japanese Wii Weather Channel shows an island in the Pacific, South of Port Villa, called “Erromango.” It’s in the south of province Vanuatu (who knows where the hell that is); that’s somewhere near Australia / New Zealand. See the picture below:

It’s slightly to the South of the green arrow. Let’s zoom in a little bit and switch to satellite

Here’s where you can find it on google maps

The great thing about this obscure little island, though, is that somehow Japan decided to translate this as “Ero-Manga” (i.e. Erotic Manga / Comics). It’s a tough little island to find, though, so expect to spend too much of your day searching. If you do happen to find it (in English or Japanese), please let us know. I don’t think anyone will find it though.

  • Apparently there is a city called Happy Land in Erromango. The place sounds deceiving. I bet they offer cake >.>

    If you tilt your head to the right it while looking at the first image the katakana spells out 'ho'.

    I'm not sure on the English translation, but this island was 'formerly known a "Martyr's Island" by the Presbyterian missionaries in the 19th century, because of the alleged risk attached to missionary activity there'. (info. via Wiki) Yes, not the best source to attend to, but it's still early in the morning and I'm lazy ^_^.

    I see the "HO" that the little sunshines make, but I was wondering if the formation of the clouds make some kind of kanji?

    OH, エロ, HO.
    Three different ways to read it, forming a sentence! (the HO being laughter)
  • 弁蛇民
    Well, that's what you get when your language is just a bunch of boxes and squiggles.

    Just kidding.

  • wow, nice job. I wonder if we could find actual pictures of the place / people of erromanga (sp?)
  • Coyle
    The cake is a lie...

    the cake is a lie...
  • Koichi:

    I'm sure you know a lot of guys who could tell you what people in エロマンガ look like. In all serious, though, is it Erromanga or Erromango (as you wrote in your post)?
  • クリストフアー
    When I did my search, it gave me Erromango.

    ZOMG! The most horrible thought came into my mind... Ero Mangoes...! ARGH get out of my head!

    @tamélina's link

    Near the top of the page there is language selection, click English (Japanese would probably work. I just didn't try it.) The picture on the left collomn is a map of Erro Manga. If you zoom in on that pic. there is a city called Happy Land. That's wild.
  • I had never heard of this before. I wonder if it was intentional or not. Or if it was just the right amount of cloudy and sunny days.
  • I searched for the place and could not find it either.
  • I bet she felt embarrassed when she saw the footage after wards.
