Usually, people email Mr. Sato to call him garbage, but this young woman from Singapore had something else to say.
It doesn’t have a star yet, but our research points to this Shinjuku restaurant getting the honor soon.
When I woke up this morning, there were a few things I had expected for my day: a few gallons of coffee, a couple hundred photos of cute cats on the Internet, and a dozen more replays of Urbangarde’s music videos. What I had not expected to see was an origin story for none other than Sailor Suit Old Man.
And in case you’re wondering, no, he’s a not a grand wizard from an alternate dimension. But that might not be too far off!
