2015 Central League Champions

@NPBinENG

For the first time in 14 years, the Yakult Swallows won the Central League of NPB and will be heading to the Climax Series. Play begins on October 14.

The umbrellas you see in today’s photo are the way Swallows fans celebrate a run. Yakult fans are insinuating that the opposing pitcher should head for the showers.

My random, desktop image of the day. This is from more than five and half years ago at Yomiuriland. I hope my photography skills have improved a bit since then.

In my dreams, Japanese fast food chains begin to appear in the USA, more importantly in my town. I know, this will never happen. That’s why I said “in my dreams”.
