Every night at midnight, there's a 10-minute white fireworks show at the top of the building.

JapaDog is awesome.

I wonder why it took so long for it to get some press though, they've been in downtown for years now.

Also, I think JapaDog will do very well in the Dotombori section of Osaka! as well as Chicago and New York (of course).

I went today with my girlfriend downtown, and we had to go and check out those Japadogs! Haha...I was kidding around, and said what if the Koreans started doing the same thing. I can see it now...Koreadog. Or what about the Americans wanting to name their "hot dog" to Ameridog? haha all jokes aside. Those Japadogs were HUGE! but they were a declicious treat. i finished mine pretty quickly. my girlfriend took some more time with hers..hehe..anyone who haven't tried the Japadogs should go sometime and try 'em out. they're pretty good. A bit on the pricey side (6.25 for my Japadog) - $13 in total - no drinks.
