Less than two days after Japan’s Mount Asama erupted on the border of the Nagano and Gunma prefectures, Mount Sakurajima has erupted on the island of Kyushu.
Both eruptions emitted clouds of volcanic ash, rather than streams of glowing lava.
According to Bing’s translation service, the caption below reads “Your gone! Sakura-jima are going erupting again. Kagoshima City North? washing outside dried and have now gang was ((((；ﾟДﾟ))))))) and I?. Attach more than friends”
The Japanese characters here read “Eruption of Sakurajima volcano and I.” The emojis need no translation.
The caption on this photo, presumably taken much closer to the volcano, reads “Erupted into a long-＼(^o^)／,”
“I’m Captain ooooooo she erupted oooo”
This photo shows the ash cloud rising above an incongruously bright and sunny parking lot:
“I eruption, Sakurajima-flush ー he!”
“UU’s Sakurajima has erupted!”
