I bought one of those key chains (the shimbahi one) and though I did go through that statation to get to Odaiba I stayed in Shinagawa. So I wanted that key chain and the ones from Shibuya and Shinjuku. Anything we can work out since I wont be back there for at least another year? You have my email so let me know.

Thank you all. Just to be clear- to be certain of entry into the competition- it's best if you link to your link here- or I have to go searching to find it. To anyone as yet un-entered- there's still plenty of time, and I'll be adding 3 more prizes to the booty. Icie- Good call, it could help the drunk. Once I was in a scavenger hunt where memorizing the jingle from a certain station was one of the tasks. As for helping the blind- definitely, this country makes a larger effort than most I think. The bobbled yellow trails through train stations, braille maps, chimes at walkways- it's all very forward-thinking. Headbang- They certainly are cheery. Neil- Thanks, and thanks also for putting it in your news feed, I got a few hits from that- cheers! Jordan- Now I can even more honest, as I know why I need links- the site is (a little) monetized now, with Google Ads. I swore I never would! Tornadoes- Cheers. Jamaipanese- Definitely, or you could win one in this tombola! Rick- Hey, good to hear from you. That's great you like the blog, thanks for letting me know. Hitachi- working? How was that? All's well here- hope the same with you. Shichi- I'd love to offer you a Yotsuya jingle- but all I have is this lousy Ikebukuro one. Maybe next time I'll take requests ;) Chris- Hey, I saw your blog- I don't think I've ever seen that Engrish but it's definitely a good one. Until I moved here I quite disliked Ikebukuro- it seemed so pointless, empty, and tacky. But now I know it, can walk to it easily, and feel quite at home.Good luck with the draw! Ian- Hey, I think I got the email but got it muddled in my junk mail filters- I'll dig it out if I can and reply- sorry. Thanks for the comment though, and good luck in the draw!

I stay in Ikebukuro a few times a year and have just blogged about it. Have you seen the Engrish photo from Ikebukuro station? I posted that on my blog along with your site! Looking forward to the possibility of showing off a key chain to my friends! :) Thanks! Ikebukuro is my favorite station. I stay in Ikebukuro a few times a year and have just blogged about it.
