Join the slightly underground/beginning rock band Dydarabotch on their quest to take over the Nippon Budoukan! You know, that one place every band in Japan wants to have a live gig at.

At today’s work place, there was a national treasure. There was a national treasure that had only recently been born. In my arms, it acted as a maneki neko [1].
Placing it in the care of the staff, when I returned to work, it looked like it was cheering me on, saying, “Do your best-!”, and I thought that I would die. I thought that I’d be murdered by cuteness.
Today as well, I will do my best at work.
NOTE:
[1] The “maneki neko”, which can be loosely translated to “fortune cat” or “lucky cat”, refers to a common Japanese lucky charm that is believed to bring its owner good luck.
