gacha (Page 3)
Things get complicated/expensive when Mr. Sato and our boss combine their intellectual powers/lack of willpower.
Putting our faith in the gacha gods at a new store dedicated to weird vending machines in Tokyo.
Offers stays for solos travelers or pairs in cities from Tokyo to Sapporo, some with suites and included breakfasts.
Ever wondered what literary greats like Natsume Soseki and Osamu Dazai would look like as felines?
The top entry is a big surprise considering how large COVID-19’s influence looms in the list.
A gacha capsule for anyone who truly thinks it’s not the destination that’s important, but the journey.
