    Phew! Did my best with this one. A post about some of the stuff that happened to baseball in Japan during WW2. A light read, however.

    I’ve been to a couple interesting entertainment events in Japan but didn’t get photos. However I remembered I have this video of the fun to watch Rockabilly guys at Yoyogi park performing. Hope it fits the theme.
