Get the Basic mug.A very horrific video clip. It starts with a young Japanese lady being invited into her boyfriend's apartment for lunch while the narrator tells the viewer what it means to be a good girlfriend. She enters the apartment and the narrator tells us that the boyfriend's name is Hiro. Hiro has prepared stir fry for the two of them to eat for lunch. When they sit down at the table to eat it, the lady then vomits multiple times into the bowl, covering the stir fry in vomit. Hiro is completely unfazed by this and seems rather fine that his lunch just got totally ruined. The two then go to the couch and she proceeds to kiss him. While she's kissing him, she vomits several times again and covers his entire face with vomit and pukes down his mouth. The video then ends with him choking on her vomit. Very nasty; guaranteed to make you throw up your breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next week or two.
