The many curses, ghost stories and urban legends of Yukiko Okada

On april 8, 1986, 18 year old idol Yukiko Okada shocked the nation when she commited suicide at the height of her fame and popularity by jumping off the Sun Music building in Tokyo, Japan. The reason or reasons for her suicide are unclear, ranging from loneliness, stress, immense pressure and overwork, mental and physical health problems, a forbidden love affair and an illict pregnancy, with the most accepted theory being her unrequited love for actor Tōru Minegishi, who had rejected her. Notes were also discovered later which ended with “I wanted to see him again” and “My heart has nowhere else to go”

Whatever the case, Yukiko’s suicide caused an uproar in japanese society. Graphic scoop photographs were quickly taken of her dead body, brains strewn across the concrete, and printed in newspapers and magazines. A string of copy-cat suicides by jumping off of buildings were reported to such an extent that the term “Yukiko syndrome” or “Yukko-syndrome” was coined for the phenomenon

Yukiko’s sudden and tragic death made a massive impression on the people of Japan, and soon rumors began to spread that Yukiko’s spirit was not quite at peace...

On June 18, 1986, the Fuji TV station was flooded with telephone calls from shocked viewers who claimed they had seen Yukiko’s ghost during Akina Nakamori’s performance of “Gypsy Queen” on Yoru no Hit Studio.

Sightings of her ghost included Yukiko in a yellow dress sitting and clapping amond the audience (actually guest Yoko Nagayama), Yukiko’s upper body emerging in one of the nearby light poles (actually just shadows and light reflections), her bloodied face showing up to the left of musician Demon Kogure (in actuality blurred red roses placed on the staircase). While others say her spirit could only be seen on the live broadcast and not in the recorded video

Rumors started to spread that Yukiko’s spirit had perhaps been summoned due to the song “Gypsy Queen”, a song it was said Yukiko was originally supposed to sing but was later handed over to Akina Nakamori, who was also said to have been a rival of hers in the industry. To add insult to injury, it was alleged the song was recorded on April 8, the day Yukiko died.

The lyrics of “Gypsy Queen” does bear some eerie parallels to Yukiko’s fate:

1.   The two of us ended on page one hundred and twenty-five

 Yukiko Okada jumped off at 12:05 on April 8

2.  Halfway through our red-hot love 

 The cause of Yukiko Okada's suicide is said to be over her unhappy love for actor Toru Minegishi 

 3.  Grieving to the heavy sky casting a wine red tint on everything

Yukiko Okada commited suicide by jumping down from the 7th floor of a building (flying into the sky) and dyed the ground with (wine red) blood

4.  Sighs spill out onto my asphalt bed.

This one speaks for itself.

When Akina Nakamori three years later also attempted suicide, fortunately without success, rumors swirled that this was also the work of Yukiko Okada's angry spirit. 

Although it is worth noting that Akina on the contrary were on friendly terms with Yukiko, and even burst into tears when she heard the news of of her death death. This didn’t put a stopper to the ghost stories though, this time it was speculated Yukiko’s spirit saved her life instead 

Soon more legends about the restless spirit of Yukiko Okada appearing on programs such as "Pacific Saury no Manma" (where her ghost allegedly could be seen choking fellow idol and rival Seiko Matsuda) and "The Best Ten" quickly started to spread as well.

Another urban legend that quickly began to roam the nation, was that of the mysterious death of the man who photographed Yukiko’s dead body on the scene. It was said that the photographer even kicked her body unto her back for an even more graphic photo (this photograph is now said to be locked up along with other top secret documents in the Hochi Shimbum vault) Just one year later, the photographer died in a mysterious sauna or car accident, and people began to speak of the curse of Yukiko Okada.

This urban legend would eventually overlap with the now infamous “cursed Kleenex commercial”, which it was said this same man worked on, to the misfortune of it’s cast and crew who all allegedly went mad or died mysterious deaths (as well as anyone unfortunate or brave enough to watch it)

However, it did eventually turn out that the camera man who died in the accident and the man who photographed Yukiko’s body were two different people and the photographer is still alive and kicking to this day. That and the commercial was filmed in 1985, one year before Yukiko’s death.

The number 4 is in Japan associated with bad luck and death. Yukiko Okada is famous for being intwined with this particular number. For example, her debut was in April, she committed suicide in April, she moved out of her production dormitory on April 4, and her new condominium room was Room 402. Most notably, a photo of Yukiko was taken of her at the premiere of Rocky 4. The truly ominous part is that is was taken the evening before her death.

A spirit photograph, or psychic photograph, showing a young woman with what appears to be a giant, floating red eye to her right is said to depict Yukiko Okada the day before her death. What appears to be a giant red eye speculated to be the God of Death, ominously hoveri by her, waiting for the fatal hour it will take her soul to the spirit world. The photo turned out to actually be from a book collection of psychic photography from 1985, a whole year before Yukiko Okada killed herself.

Other sensational urban legends about Yukiko abound, like how singer and actress Erika Sawajiri is Yukiko Okada reincarnated as she was born April 8, the same day Yukiko committed suicide, as well as for her supposed love for older men, how Yukiko’s fans scooped up her brains and took them home and even ate them, how in Seiko Matsuda’s 1986 album "The Tears of the Puppet", you can hear the voice of Yukiko saying "thank you", perhaps Yukiko thanking Seiko for writing songs for her, how if you set a picture of Yukiko as your phone background you can hear her cry through the reciever, how according to a psychic a female ghost, speculated to be Yukiko, “very beautiful during her lifetime, and she was pregnant when she died, and she was very angry" haunts singer Minami Takahashi who was also born April 8, and how the japanese tv guide magazine “The Television” always poses their front page artists with a lemon as a protective charm against Yukiko’s ghost and curse.

To be honest, the whole concept of Yukiko Okada’s ghost / curse brings up mixed emotions in me. On one hand the idea of the restless, angry spirit of a beautiful girl who died tragically definitely captures one’s imagination, and it is an interesting reflection on society’s enduring fascination with celebrity, youth, tragedy, death and the paranormal, all in one package. On the other hand, the fact that the tragic death of this unhappy girl was turned into such sensational stories can be considered disrespectful, even expoitative in a way, to the memory of this talented, hardworking girl.

Akina Nakamori herself probably put it best with her response to the uproar; "Yukiko-chan is a lovely girl with a kind heart. I don't think she is like that."

Whatever your views are on the matter, what can not be denied is the massive impact Yukiko Okada’s tragic end had on Japanese society, an impact that can still be felt to this day, ghost or no ghost.

In partnership with the NAACP, Brookings Metro has released a landmark data analysis which examines the impact of social and neighborhood conditions on Black life expectancy in counties and metro areas across the United States. The dataset highlights the places where Black people are thriving most and offers valuable insights on Black people’s health and well-being.

Read more | Find your area in the interactive data

In 1899, W.E.B. Du Bois published “The Philadelphia Negro,” a first-of-its-kind sociological case study of a Black community, combining urban ethnography, social history, and descriptive statistics. Its novel use of data to identify racial inequity undoubtedly influenced Du Bois’ vision for the NAACP, which he would go on to help found, as an organization that uses empirical evidence and facts in its efforts to dismantle injustice.

In the spirit of Du Bois and others who have pursued truth and justice, the NAACP and the Brookings Institution have partnered to develop tools and resources that will empower communities with data and information. The partnership’s primary project is the Black Progress Index, which provides a means to understand the health and well-being of Black people and the conditions that shape their lives.

The Black Progress Index will evolve over the course of the partnership, but its first step is to find the places where Black people are thriving most, as measured through the social predictors of life expectancy at birth. In other words, the Black Progress Index identifies and measures the social conditions that predict long and healthy lives for Black Americans.

We chose to focus on the social conditions that predict life expectancy because they are a cumulative measure of health and well-being, summarizing many biological and non-biological influences on our lives. People tend to live longer in places where they evaluate their lives positively and enjoy excellent physical and mental health. Unlike other summary measures of well-being and health, life expectancy can be readily analyzed using the same data and methods across most U.S. counties and metropolitan areas.

We highlight the areas where Black people have been living the longest because it may provide insight into the local civic actions that have produced those outcomes—actions that other places may take. Each year, we will add additional focal points of well-being, building out a comprehensive examination of the living conditions of Black people.

To emphasize Black health is not to de-emphasize social inequity. The legacy of structural racism pervades the country in the form of lower wealth and socioeconomic status for Black people. In turn, this legacy influences the so-called “social determinants of health,” which we define as patterns of behavior and environmental conditions that have largely social causes, but also biological implications on mental and physical health. Relatively low levels of college completion, low wealth, and high exposure to violent crime are especially relevant examples of these social determinants.

A goal of this research is to identify which social factors are the most important, provide evidence on the size of their effects, and track the places that do better or worse on these factors, as well as the places that over- or under-perform relative to predictions. There may be valuable lessons from the people and organizations in places that have better outcomes than expected.[1]

While we focus on life expectancy, our research is also relevant to quality of life more broadly. Using large sample microdata from Gallup and Sharecare, we found—not surprisingly—that Black people evaluate their lives more positively in places (measured as counties) with higher Black life expectancy. This data was not available at the county level for much of the country, so we focus on life expectancy to provide detailed geographic information. Beyond subjective well-being, we also examined other objective measures of health, including age-adjusted mortality and the share of children born at low birthweight. This analysis confirms that the factors identified in the Index are predictive in explaining these outcomes too.

In addition, the Index can be de-composed into the component parts that were shown to be most impactful on life expectancy: wealth, human and social capital (e.g., education, social networks, religion), environmental quality, safety, and family. Our hope is that understanding how these factors play out across local areas and neighborhoods can help communities take collective action and tailor policy to fit their needs.

SolarGuard Coatings: SolarGuard Coatings takes a comprehensive approach to cool roofing, combining cutting-edge technology with a commitment to durability. Their coatings not only reflect sunlight but also provide robust protection against the elements, ensuring longevity and cost-effectiveness for property owners.

Innovative Technologies Driving Cool Roof Coatings:

Reflective Pigments: Manufacturers employ specially formulated pigments that enhance the roof's ability to reflect sunlight. These pigments come in a variety of colors, allowing property owners to choose aesthetically pleasing options while reaping the benefits of increased reflectivity.

Thermal Emittance: Another crucial aspect of cool roof coatings is thermal emittance, which measures a material's ability to release absorbed heat. High thermal emittance values ensure efficient heat dissipation, contributing to a cooler indoor environment.

Infrared Reflective Coatings: Some manufacturers have taken cool roof coatings to the next level by incorporating infrared reflective technology. This innovation allows roofs to reflect not only visible light but also infrared radiation, further reducing heat absorption and energy consumption.

The Benefits of Cool Roof Coatings:

Energy Efficiency: By reflecting a significant portion of sunlight, cool roof coatings reduce the need for air conditioning, leading to lower energy consumption and utility bills. This energy efficiency not only benefits property owners but also contributes to the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Increased Lifespan: The reflective properties of   Cool roof paint suppliers can help protect the underlying roof materials from prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, extending the lifespan of the roof. This durability translates to long-term cost savings and reduced environmental impact associated with frequent roof replacements.

Improved Indoor Comfort: Cool roofs contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment by minimizing heat absorption. This is particularly advantageous in warmer climates, where the difference in indoor temperature can be substantial, creating a more pleasant living or working space.

Environmental Impact: Cool roof coatings play a role in mitigating the urban heat island effect, where densely populated areas experience higher temperatures due to heat absorption by buildings and pavement. By reflecting sunlight, cool roofs contribute to a cooler microclimate, reducing the overall impact on the environment.

Considerations for Property Owners:

When considering Cool roof coating manufacturers, property owners should assess various factors, including the climate of their region, the type of roofing material, and the specific needs of the building. Additionally, consulting with a qualified roofing professional can provide valuable insights into the most suitable cool roof coating for a particular structure.

Conclusion:

Cool roof coatings are more than just a technological innovation; they represent a paradigm shift in the way we approach building sustainability and energy efficiency. As Cool roof paint manufacturers continue to refine and expand their offerings, the future holds the promise of cooler, more eco-friendly structures that benefit both property owners and the planet. Embracing cool roof coatings is not just a choice; it's a step towards a cooler, more sustainable tomorrow.

How Historic Preservation Is One of the Most Successful Urban Regeneration Strategies

By rehabilitating older homes and properties, complete communities that value their collective heritage promote job growth and business diversity. They also attract and serve tourists by utilizing historic structures and landscapes.

Through local comprehensive plans, planning is a critical tool for integrating historic preservation into a broader urban development framework. By providing a conceptual framework, this study makes it easier for local planners to do so.

Attracting and retaining business, developing export industries, and improving the quality of life in local communities are all part of economic development. Local economic growth efforts can help reduce poverty, create jobs, and increase tax revenue.

The most effective economic development strategies capitalize on and develop a region's strengths, strengthen its value proposition for residents, and improve local services and infrastructure. This necessitates an in-depth examination of a region's current programs, frequently revealing gaps that can be filled with new initiatives.

Historic preservation is an excellent example of capitalizing on and developing a region's assets to boost its economy. Through revitalization efforts that provide adaptive reuse opportunities for existing buildings, it attracts investment and changes to deteriorating neighborhoods.

In some communities, one or two historic structures can anchor a community's identity, defining its distinct character and attracting visitors. This method has the added benefit of reducing environmental impact by using locally manufactured materials rather than materials manufactured at distant facilities.

When developing an urban regeneration strategy, communities must consider its impact on their identity. This necessitates a shared understanding among developers, planners, and residents of what distinguishes a location.

Successful communities recognize the importance of preserving their uniqueness and building on it rather than trying to replace it with a new identity. They capitalize on their distinguishing features, such as architecture, history, natural surroundings, and locally owned businesses.

Historic preservation is a discipline that seeks to preserve significant buildings, landscapes, and communities in innovative and artistic ways. Architecture conservation and documentation, historic site management, and preservation planning and development are part of this multidisciplinary field.

The world's population has been steadily increasing, putting strain on limited resources. This issue particularly impacts urban areas, and cities face the most difficult sustainability challenges.

Cities must take a multifaceted approach to achieve their goals to become sustainable. This can include lowering energy consumption and emissions, constructing energy-efficient infrastructure, preserving urban nature, and cultivating a vibrant culture for residents.

City officials have also recognized the importance of focusing on transportation, as motor vehicles are the single largest source of carbon monoxide pollution and other negative environmental impacts. Urba can reduce their overall environmental impact by providing cost-effective public transportation and encouraging biking and walking.

Furthermore, preserving agricultural land in urban areas can reduce the need for food transportation from rural to urban centers, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and supporting a greater number of inclusive local supply chains. Cities can create a strong green economy while also benefiting their residents' health and well-being by increasing the availability of fresh, locally grown foods.

Urban tourism is an important pillar in many cities and is expected to grow further. It is a significant economic development, employment, and foreign exchange source.

Historic preservation is frequently fraught with controversy. These disagreements frequently concern a lack of diversity in historic preservation organizations and programs.

City governments and private businesses are increasingly using city tourism to boost their local economies by developing appealing attractions. However, if tourism is not properly managed, it can harm communities.

As a result, city governments must be capable of managing the effects of urban tourism on their quality of life and the environment. This necessitates a multi-stakeholder, multi-level approach involving city residents, tourists, and tourism administrations.

Traveling to cultural heritage sites can expose people to new cultures and help them to develop intercultural understanding. It can help to build bridges between disparate groups and strengthen community bonds, which is essential in our increasingly divisive world.

My story – Bookseller - Page 1 - Are you interested in a good book. I have a lot of interesting titles in my bag. Here, for example… - I started the story to a middle-aged man who opened the door for me. The job of an acquirer seemed to me the worst in the world, but I had no choice. I walked from door to door all day and people mostly chased me off the doorstep like itchy dogs.   Who cares about books today! This was my tenth building since this morning, and I hadn’t sold anything.   "I don't have time to read, child," the man replied, slowly closing the door.   I started to say something and tried to keep his attention, but the sight of mine went down the stairs as the seductive blonde climbed, in a short gray skirt and a transparent blouse, harmoniously sculpted legs and large breasts that swelled in rhythm.   She walked past me, and unlocked the apartment in the corner of the hallway.   I packed my bags and followed her. I gave her some time, having previously given her neighbor the pleasure of slamming the door on me.   Only then did I ring the bell in front of door number eight. I decided to make my performance in some way original: not to be aggressive, but to make my intentions clear, so I took "Kamasutra" from my bag, a book that talked about the art of making love to Hindus, and put it on my chest. Soon the door opened and she appeared. Blouse torn apart - I obviously interrupted her in the change of clothes. "Good afternoon," I said politely. - You might be interested in a good book. Coincidentally, I have one more copy of this interesting work left - I said, pointing to the book. She measured me, and then looked down at the title. A mischievous smile flickered on her face. She knew what kind of book it was.

Acts 5:21-33

21And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak

and began to teach.

Now when the high priest came, and those who were

with him, they called together the council and all the senate of

the people of Israel and sent to the prison to have them brought. 22But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison,

so they returned and reported, 23“We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we

opened them we found no one inside.” 24Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them, wondering what this would come

to. 25And someone came and told them, “Look! The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.” 26Then the captain with the officers went and brought them but not by force, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.

27And when they had brought them, they set them before

the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” 29But Peter and the apostles answered,

“We must obey God rather than men. 30The God of our fathers

raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. 31God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior,

to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32And

we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

33When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them.

Do any animals aside from humans wear clothes?

yes! but they're almost all invertebrates :)

caddisfly larva build themselves protective armor out of pebbles, hermit crabs wear other animal's discarded underwear, and pom pom crabs absolutely CANNOT be seen without this season's most fashionable anemones on hand!

and, uh, the urba lugens caterpillar wears a stack of its own previously shed faces as a hat, I guess???

man, there's always one really messed up entry in these type of lists, isn't there.
