Koohii stories:

1) [thegeezer3] 16-6-2007(228): The yakuza boss reclines in the oaken bathtub wearing his shades while his personal harem dances nakes for him.

2) [captal] 15-6-2008(120): I learned nothingness (#1775 無) first because it is a very common kanji. Probably easier to think of this kanji in that context. Attractive dancers should dance wearing nothing but sunglasses.

3) [aircawn] 3-6-2007(18): I imagine this big oaken tub as being full of grapes being squashed by the feet of the vinyard owners. Each wearing sunglasses and doing that Russian arms crossed dance and squishing all the grapes.

4) [spleenlol] 8-6-2010(14): See jump (#1409 踊). Renamed this kanji interpretive dance. (readapated thegeezer3) The yakuza boss reclines in the oaken bathtub wearing his タキ(tacky) sunglasses while his personal harem does an interpretive dance for him.

5) [usis35] 12-5-2012(13): Heisig, let's get this straight: NEW keywords: 曜 JUMP ex-leap (#1285 躍); 踊 DANCE=ODORI ex-jump (#1409 踊); 舞 KABUKI ex-dance (#1774 舞) (used in concepts related to dance, like stages, fluttering, etc.). So, KABUKI 歌舞伎 【かぶき】is the keyword here. STORY: We learn nothingness (#1775 無) first because it is a very common kanji. Then we go to see KABUKI en the EVENING wearing SUNGLASSES.
