If any of you from the Southside are traveling to Japan, please plan a trip to Jingu Stadium, where Mune played. And let's wave our umbrellas together and sing chants at the top of our lungs for swallows! Do you think this video will pique your interest? It's in the heart of downtown Tokyo, so it's easily accessible, and the food is delicious too.
