Saga Prefecture
It’s not every day that a real-life historical figure receives the anime and J-rock tribute treatment.
A team in Saga prefecture has successfully developed Agridrone, which will seek out and terminate pests with extreme prejudice.
Saga Prefectures goes super high-resolution on us, really gives would-be visitors something to look at…
Saga Prefecture lies in the northwest corner of Japan’s island of Kyushu. This past week, in an unusual attempt at self-promotion, the Saga Prefectural Office uploaded a video of hundreds of workers from its various divisions happily dancing to the new AKB48 single, Koi Suru Fortune Cookie (Love Fortune Cookie). With more than 480,000 views on YouTube so far, the up-beat video certainly beats a boring old poster campaign!
