Yodobashi Dai 4's Secret?

That's a fun story! Sounds like classic kid lore. My bet is it's either a completely made-up legend, or a super underwhelming, slightly rusty tin box buried under a tree somewhere. Time capsules are r...

Lost My Lunchbox?

I was walking past this place the other day, heading to the ramen shop down the street, and I swear I saw a tiny, perfectly formed Godzilla made entirely of what looked like leftover school lunches pe...
