I'll leave that hieroglyphic for the Chinese to bitch about.

Be careful what you say.

Before you know it, Shinjuku will be claimed nonnegotiable territory by China...

Anyone know WTF is the Shinjuku logo supposed to be?

The "We Japanese" way to get from Point A to Point B?

That took me whole 2 seconds to find on Google.

For Fuck's sake give Choko a break! He spent more than ten seconds finding and hotlinking to a graphic on the Shinjuku Ward website, and another five seconds formulating his post to ask about the origins. He has thus run out of time to do a search for the origins himself, either in Google or in that self same website!

Choko, I am never sure whether you are asking these questions to initiate conversation, or just letting your liquid brainfarts appear on the page. If the former is correct, then can I suggest you make a few more posts in the "hey guys, I found out that the Shinjuku symbol has this origin" style rather than getting multiple well-meaning people to stop what they are doing and make a search for you. If the latter is correct, well, I don't have a solution to offer. But it would be nice to know which of those two is the case.

Believe me, I only do this kind of thing as I was curious myself and had a free 90 seconds.

Only English and Korean? No Chinese? I'd say that's a serious oversight.

Well, there is the extreme loop here...working crazy amounts of unpaid overtime and almost never taking vacation days "because my poor coworkers" all the while the coworkers are thinking the same thing while the company reaps the benefits.

Also Japanese seems to be missing, consider that most users are Japanese, that's a really serious oversight.

or French, like Korea and England, it is well known that France have no concept or understanding of public transportation. and something as recent and cutting edge as subway trains will not be understood or implemented by Parisians before several more decades...

Takeshit some word aboot how Hiro Clito Jun Hill created subway the day after he found a cure for rabies ?

Don't forget the masked clown on JTV constant fixture as j talento guest... Can't remember the name... But having this goof speaking normally on irrelevant topic du jour while wearing his priscilla queen of the desert outfit has always been a good summary of daytime jtv...
