Obsessive Haruhi otaku engaged in a pilgrimage to a school location used in a music video accompanying the recent Haruhi movie, and featuring in the anime proper, have so plagued the school, apparently feeling they have the right to trespass freely in pursuit of good photography, that the school has had to post a warning advising them that trespassers will be prosecuted.
Nishikita High School’s warning to the invading horde runs thusly:
Notice
It appears recently there have been a number of people entering the school in order to take photographs and engage in similar activities. Taking such photographs from outside the school grounds is by no means a problem, but for those unconnected with the school to enter the grounds without permission is a crime.
From here on we are considering taking harsher measures such as reporting such incidents to police, so please take this into consideration in future.
Translation: “Get lost Haruhi otaku!”
Aside from featuring in the video and being the model for Haruhi’s school, the school also has the distinction of having been attended by Haruhi creator Nagaru Tanigawa, although it is not unreasonable to presume this has very little to do with its current popularity – that dubious honour goes to the below video.
The offending music video, shot at the school and featuring Minori Chihara (Nagato):
Their worry at the sight of a slathering gaggle of Minorin/Nagato fans is perhaps understandable.

They could just charge for pictures instead and sell merchandise, it would be a big money maker.
this is what I did when I was in Japan... I randomly entered a Japanese High School dressed casually. Then I proceeded to pretend to be a English teacher while walking through the corridors.
I found the school on Google Maps by myself after stumbling on the GM coordinates of a train station used in the anime. I didn't even know if the school existed, I just assumed it did. Pretty cool.
god knows.
haruhi= god
god knows= haruhi knows
we all know
Ni idea de lo que dice la canción, pero la escuela es muy bonita (típica escuela que se ve en los ánimes) y la melodía tiene una onda de melancolía :3
Yo hace poco invadí la escuela a la que concurrí en primaria, y creo que nadie se dio cuenta xD Entré, di una vuelta por el patio, y me fui xD Bonitos recuerdos :3
?
Let her be, maybe is one of those sexy maids.
TL:
No idea what the song says, but the school is very pretty (typical school you see in anime) and the melody has a melancholic feel to it. :3
I "invaded" the school that I used to go to for elementary school a little while ago, and I don't think anyone noticed xD I went in, walked around the quad, then left xD Fond memories :3
tl;dr mexican pedo invades elementary school
Just ask money for entry, problem solved!
Exactly. Put on some days, let's say, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for the "Haruhi Tour" to take place.
I'm sure there will be enough people willing to pay for that.
><
I wonder if they even thought about this happening when they allowed a music video to be shot at the school?
why don't they charge entrance and open it on the summer, hell they could make a theme park about it
God now:
i would love to take , preferably on a desk taht some hot chick is trying to do her homework on
sigh....
Thats fandom people....
Aw, I wanted to be there...
Hell yeah, I can see why people are breaking in. If I lived in Japan I would probably try to break in too.
It is common knowledge that any popular TV show/movie featuring real life locations will bring tourists to these areas. Non-anime examples including Torchwood's HQ, Sex in the City Tours, and locations in The Da Vinci Code.
There are even blatant attempts to intentionally cause this phenomenon, though in cases like the "Australia" movie, it failed because the film wasn't popular.
("Night at the Museum 2" got made in order to increase ticket sales for the Smithsonian. Don't know if it worked.)
So this is not some "creepy Otaku" thing. Everyone does it.
The price of fame.
That school is soooooo Haruhi. I'D BREAK TOO I WANT PHOTOS!
there will be so much people entering the school during school culture festival.
Thats so fucked up...
DAM, she's fuckin' HOT! I always knew people loved her but she's really a treasure! She should be in every commerical for Japanese tourism.
I just say the Disappearance movie and I'm totally way more into Nagato (the shy & socially retarded one).
She's WAAAAAY hotter than Aya Hirano. Not as hot as Minako Kotobuki (Mugi!) but up there.
They want to take photos of the school, yes.
We all know why they want so badly go to a school :)
most people try to get out of school and these guys are trying to break in?
the school should open applications for gardeners/groundkeepers/substitute teachers etc. With the situation as it is now, they would have no shortage of applicants and would probably be able to get off with giving a low salary by dangling the "this is Haruhi's school!" carrot
That is the exact same school that Haruhi went to!!! I can see the stairs, the building where the SOS-Dan is at! Ahh~ Suteki... Feels like I found a treasure. Sort of. I'm so happy...

it will take you to one of the school gates in google street view :D
if you look around the city you might find the other places they used :D
personally I found a lot of them
HEYYYY I KNOW U FROM DEVIANTART! lol.
Row Row. Otaku Powaaaa!
God knows...
what's going on in this world.
God as in Haruhi-sama knows what is going on :P
What's wrong with these OTAKUS? Are they retards or something?
No just on drugs apparently :P
japanese are tooooooo obsessed with middle school anime . they really need to try making shows about something else .
The World God Only Knows
is becoming an anime.
Sorry couldn't resist.
Next, they'll sneak up inside cardboard box
only god knows what inside the box
I support the world being anime :D
no por que entonces que veriamos nosotros
ademas en este undo hay muchas cosas que no conocemos y la realidad de una persona se puede cambiar todo es subjetivo la verdad sobre nuestra realidad no es absoluto por lo que deja muchas posibilidades sobre nuestra misma existencia
EN RESUMEN NO POR QUE ENTONCES QUE VERIAMOS NOSOTROS

They should open tours on weekends too. Concentrate them into a time frame, direct them along areas where they can be watched so no bloomers go missing, rake in money that they can use to hire better teachers or simply fatten their coffers and do it at a time when it won't bother the students.
no estoy deacuerdo por que no tendriamos nada que ver
snake...snake!!
They should just start to sell Haruhi goods for profit and be glad about the sudden popularity.
I gotta be honest i didn't like that video, mainly because it tried to hard to be elegant and totally lacked it because of it. Also normally i don't have a problem with lyrics, but even for Japanese words, they somehow didn't sound right and didn't fit in with the tune or the singer in my opinion.
Badger Badger Badger.
:P
Seems like it would make it easy for Pedobear to sneak in amongst Haurhi fans like camouflage.
Pedobear is probably the headmaster the school.
true U_U
But more importantly, did he make it to the girls changing room???
I approve that news..
You'll have to repeat what you just said. I think I.... lost my music {and my marbles reading this article}.
The school needs to Stop! trying to chase away Haruhi fans and instead learn how to properly Welcome UNKNOWN visitors like these otaku. They could easily find a way to profit off this attention.
For some odd reason people are not allowed to own tazers in Japan.
But I guess they could shoot fireworks at them which are legal to posses and would be equally fun.
not allowed? I saw it being sold at a shop in Kyoto once. I didn't buy one just because I ran out of money. ;___;
no...you are a fag
They should just tazer them on sight and leave their nekkid bodies in the alley behind the property after relieving them of their otaku possesions.
Eventually word will get around and they can have their peace & quiet once again.
lulz
New campus activity - hunting wayward otaku.
o.o*!!!
look they are there without permission,what if they steal or break something by accident even when nothing was stolen and broken.At least some social allowence is needed there,because it's part of their laws.
The beauty of the vid has 0 meaning to social norms.
