Here's something of a rare treat, an L coming from Nijisanji JP (who usually isn't as L-covered like the EN)
Around yesterday, Nijisanji JP did a stream collab with an energy drink company ASAP-Club. The company isn't a stranger for collabing with weeb stuff, considering they did a collab with 'idol life is bad' animu Oshi No Ko a while back. But anyway.
Here's the stream, with the JP most notable male duo unit, Kanae and Kuzuha as the host.
So where's the L? Well, apparently one of the NijiJP staff has a rather neat idea of telling people to mix their energy drink with alcohol. Not exactly an issue since caffeinated alcohol do exist and all, but the staff thought "hey, mixing it by 1:1 ratio should good enough!"
(The alcohol in question is Chamisul, a korean soju, iirc has around 20% abv?)
(The energy drink's website doesn't mention the exact caffeine per can, but one online store who sold the oshi no ko collab one mentioned 52mg caffeine per can)
Anyway, the stream ended,
the ASAP club made a tweet about how the stream went by. And then today, the Japanese's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries dropped this tweet.
Apparently there were 'unconfirmed' reports of people, mostly teenagers or young adults who probably took advice of mixing energy drink + alcohol by 1:1 ratio, got hit by shit like palpitations, severe dizziness and heart arrhythmia to the point that the ministry had to say about it. Of course this might be a coincidence, but its still enough that ASAP club had to make a post trying to save face about it.
Of course, this means that somehow, a Nijisanji staff had a very bright idea of trying to get people to do caffeinated alcohol, forgot that you can't just mix it by 1:1 ratio, and might have lead to unconfirmed amount of people having health issues. So... it's an L for them, right?
