鳥肌 (とりはだ) = chicken skin, goosebumps
I like this one because it's easy to remember, since it works out as nearly a direct translation. (鳥 means bird, really, but is often used to mean chicken, as in yakitori (焼き鳥).
There's a series entitled Torihada; I've never seen it.
There's also a comedian who goes by the name Torihada Minoru. Form what I understand, he's set himself up as an extreme right-wing, imperialistic, militaristic character as a way to parody such real-life characters. Below is a clip, as well as his website url. I'm not trying to promote him; I actually don't watch Japanese comedians. But I like the concept of his act, from what I hear of it.
