Nippon is the name Japanese call their country: often used as a war cry exactly the same like "USA" calls in sports games.
It should be noteworthy that usually peace-loving Japanese would prefer to call their country "Nihon", because during WW2 they were forced to call their homeland "Dai-Nippon-Teikoku" that means Great Imperial Japan.
"Nippon, cha-cha-cha!" is preferred to cheer girls teams in volleyball games.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
