We kept spotting T-Shirts with bizarre sayings on them - my favorite being a shirt done in the "No Fear" style that read "The Snow Goose Need Not Rest." But by the time we'd pull out a camera to photograph the 5-year-old wearing a shirt that said "BLOODSUCKERS must be destroyed vampire," they would be gone. Here's a couple we did catch.
"MORE ROCK LESS DOG" The front of the shirt was a picture of Snoopy.
"BLACK PEACE NOW" Shopping bag on the Shinkansen. A wreath of smiling black skulls wearing sunglasses.
"NO MONEY, BUTRUE? HAPPY" There were a lot like this - A saying you could kind of make sense of, but kind of not.
The SPIDER-MAN movie was due out in Japan on May 11th, a week after our trip. Here's a couple of the Japanese Spider-Man ads we saw.
Does whatever a spider can. (That's a lot of action, true believer!)
This is the Spidey banner on the Sony Building. A huge TV below was playing a Japanese version of the Spider-Man trailer.
