I went to the store to buy some milk and butter. As soon as I walked in the door, I heard a bunch of children shouting in unison. I looked toward the second floor, and saw a man dressed as some sort of Power-Ranger-esque super hero fighting another person dressed in a foam monster suit.
I can't say why this was going on, or what the story was, but it was a fairly elaborate set up. There were several actors, and a tent they would go in and out of, while a perky girl with a microphone would come out and do some sort of narration. The fighting was pretty pro-wrestler-style, with punches being thrown feet away from the other actor, but the kids still seemed to think it was pretty intense. I don't know whether staged monster fights are common in Japan or not, but I definitely want to find out. It's not everyday you can go to get some groceries and get to see that sort of thing...
The pictures were taken with my phone, which is why the quality isn't great (but I'm sure glad I have a camera phone!).
