Creepy Children's Song (Kagome Kagome) (Ep. 53)

In Japan "Kagome Kagome" is an old children's game and the song that goes along with it. It's interesting because the mysterious lyrics have several different interpretations and most of them are pretty grim.

So listen to episode 53 of Uncanny Japan where I talk about this creepy song and several of the theories behind those odd lyrics.
