Honda's Hovering Concept Car! Hmm… the future we dreamed of will become real, hopefully before I die :-).
This is a very weird topic: "who? why? sumo wrestler seals." I didn't know this, but as of last year, weird sumo wrestler face seals appeared on mailboxes, shop panels, trash boxes, etc. in popular downtown areas like Shibuya and Ginza. Since the seal has no words, it doesn't look a shop ad. On the internet, people are guessing who put them up and why they are doing it. Now I remember this crash barrier thorn incident. I don't well remember how this issue was resolved. I think we discovered that it was natural phenomenon caused by small car accidents...
I wrote about this before: 24 years ago, the Colonel Sanders statue was thrown into the dirty river in Osaka by crazy Hanshin Tigers fans. He looked really miserable when he was finally found. But recently, he was fixed up and restored to the Osaka KFC. We will see him soon, but before that, his keychain was released as the "Lucky Colonel."
Will the Tigers finally win a championship now?
The sumo faces are kind of strange. Creepy if you ask me. It's like something out of 20th Century Boys.
