Apparently it's good to dream eggplants the first night of the year since the Japanese for eggplant,"nasu" means achievement.Eggplants in dreams where also very important to one of the greatest shoguns,commander of Japan before 1868,Tokugawa Ieyasu.The moar you know!

The little guy that eats the eggplant is a tapir, right? Baku are tapirs, and baku are "dream-eating" mythological creatures. The Pokemon drowzee and hypno are based on this legend.
>>886It's kind of hard to tell what the NASU guy is, exactly. That's an interesting thing to point out, though~(Hypno used to scare me, considering it's said to lure children away. And the sheer thought that you may wake up and find it standing above your bed, eating your dreams.. -shudders- It terrified me as a kid.)

doesn't make NASU any less depressing
>>891It's more like NASU is a representation of Mado wanting to have good dreams. The "dream-eating" thing backs that up too.
>>889Haha, check out this totally sweet Hypno shirt then. I think you can only get them from Japan, though.

>>892How can Nasu be a "representation" of anything? Nasu isn't in her dreams. It's an actual thing she has in her room.
>>899Kikiyama put it in the game.
>>899I thought the Neon dude looked something like Nasu, and so did one of the Famicom world maps. But that's really all I've seen of it in the dreams.
I don't think the creature in Nasu looks much like a tapir. It looks more bird-like to me. Even though a baku seems to make more sense, is the guy in Nasu possibly a tengu?
