Growing up in Japan, I never, in a million years, would have thought I would write about Dekopin, let alone make a video about this cool, cruel, never-ending tradition.
As the deliverer of Dekopin, you have to remain calm to do it right. Otherwise, if you don’t land your middle finger in the correct position, the receiver may only feel 60-70% of the potential pain potential.
As the receive of Dekopin, I would say you have a 50/50 chance of experiencing something awfully painful or you might get lucky and feel just a little sting.
Whatever the case, I still can’t remember why I’d want to partake in this. But it seemed to happen a lot back then.

Hehe. It looks kinda wierd when some parts of your body is in the video but not your face.

I can’t be the only one who just flicked myself in the forehead. Also, I thought forehead was ひたい so now I’m a bit confused which one I’m supposed to use.
mmmmmm- Ah, thanks for pointing that out. As far as I know, ひたい is more official/formal than おでこ. Thus, ひたい should be used in a context of an official write ups.
