Yamamba, an ancient mountain hag who cannibalises those who stray too close, gives birth to twins the scientist and the businessman. Together they exploit a shallow world hooked on instant gratification and collective denial of the dark within.

Yamamba mutates into Ganguro girl, the blonde, tanned Japanese icon of Shibuya subculture. At dawn she arises from her nocturnal trance dance to become Muijina, the kimono girl with no face. Then, pretty in pink as Hello Kitty! girl in the enjokosai 'rescue relationship' lounge she sells her panties to wrinkled lovers.

DasSHOKU suru is a Japanese term meaning to bleach, to strip off colour.

Hora! in Japanese means Look Out!

In DasSHOKU Hora!!, the third in the DasSHOKU series, Yumi and the DasSHOKU team strip back the candy-coloured surface of Japanese culture and tickle its hoary underbelly.
