When your electronic device is seriously malfunctioning and you have no other choice but rip out the power cord and or battery to give it a "fresh start".
-"ah Gavin, mycomputer is blue screening"
-"ok ross, you know what to do....rip that power cord out and give it a Japanese Restart".
To turn off an electronic device by pulling a plug out or shutting of power.
Shit computers running slow, better give it a Japanese restart.
