Angel of the Moaning

























Massage sign spotted in Yurakucho.

"Chinese massage has 4,000 years ago history. Record you got the physical and mental meet and demand."

Crazy Candy


























The tagline on this grape-flavored gummy candy reads "If you eat it, you'll understand." Cue theme music from The X-Files.

Hot dogs




















The Japanese name for this hot dog shop is Machigaine, which loosely translates as "no mistake."  Well, there's no mistaking that she's double-fisting those wieners, that's for sure!

Tiger mask

























This man is often seen walking the streets in Shinjuku. He carries a portable stereo and blasts enka music. I have no idea who he is. He must be some sort of superhero. Or super homeless.

Sloppy snowman




















Someone's been busy. A rare snowy day in Tokyo. Good thing it's a national holiday.

Mystery Drink

























Behold the "Mystery" beverage. You may get a Coke, green tea, Aquarius Sportsdrink, or who knows?  The only thing you know for sure is that it'll be cold. I wasn't brave enough to buy it. I prefer to exercise my freedom of choice. Life has enough surprises for me as it is.
