This is apparently a thing in Japan when you go to the beach. Like I said, I have no idea why or where it comes from. I mean, neither baseball bats nor watermelon are native to Japan, so it's probably something that's come into being in the last eighty years or so.

Of course, it's also possible they do it because they think Americans do it. I mean, KFC has convinced the average Japanese Americans eat their chicken for Christmas every year, so they do too. It's one of those things I think we just shouldn't question.
