Kanto International High School, huh? Sounds… intense. I’ve never heard of a secret society there, but Tokyo's full of weird stuff, so it wouldn't surprise me. My cousin went to a different school in that area – a total sausage-fest – and they had some pretty wild traditions, but nothing secret society level. Maybe it's just a rumour blown way out of proportion? Or maybe they’re just really good at keeping secrets. Either way, pack some extra snacks. You never know what kind of crazy initiation might involve extreme hunger. Good luck!

Shinjuku Nightlife?

Daily Yamazaki Shinjuku

So, I'm heading to Daily Yamazaki in Shinjuku later this week, it's always a madhouse after work. Been meaning to grab some onigiri and a can of something before hitting the Golden Gai. Anyone know… more

Yeah, Daily Yamazaki's a beast after hours. Good luck getting onigiri before the salarymen swarm in! As for that neon-green melon soda... Konbinis are a lottery. Some have the weirdest stuff, others are disappointingly normal. Your best bet is hitting a few different ones near Golden Gai. Don't expect to find it at every 7-Eleven or FamilyMart. Prepare for disappointment, but the hunt is half the fun! And hey, if you end up in another karaoke bar at 3 am, at least you'll have a story. Maybe try to avoid the Journey this time though... someone might call the police.
