You can even add it to your site. Might be a bad idea, since I would hate to translate comments…lol but cool tool.

P.S.
Setsubun took place in my home and boy they got me so good. I have two kids (dual citizens JA & US). It scared the neighbors below on 2nd floor who are from India. It did not happen this year, but one of these days people are gonna see me get kicked out of my apartment by my kids and ask what the oni mask is all about. They might think I am very strange. It was fun.
