   Cool! Is it possible, anyway, to have any context? The story behind it?

   The horror of casually walking around the corner onto that street.

   They couldn’t make this any more creepy even if they tried

   Japan did well mostly unlike Nazis. This is why the first countries like the US and France see Japan harmless, peace, and safe country and don’t consider them put into WWII media, which means bad for those butthurt Korean boo-hoos.

   Well done power hungry, war starting world leaders 🤦‍♂️so much suffering through war and theres never a benefit over 0 conflict. Like look at America’s intervention in the middle east, just over a preference for slightly more power and money in a part of the world that couldnt be further away.

   Where in Tokyo? Guessing Ginza/Nihonbashi area.

   I wonder how many of these girls survived the war to come.
