    New Live Superhero Show October 2nd in Tokyo Author: Daisuke Ishizuka Japan is the most dangerous country in the world... it has been attacked repeatedly by giant monsters, creatures and aliens. Besides, there are various evil groups at work, even if some of them only target one neighborhood. Kameido is an area of Tokyo and it is one of my favorite parts of the city. I often visit Kameido Tenjinjya shrine; it has beautiful garden with ponds, is full of flowers and greens, and great historical buildings. But there is also an evil group that has watched and waited for a chance to conquer Kameido. They appear about once a month in sectioned off areas of the streets, in parking areas or the stage at the city park. They recently came to the stage during the park`s summer festival in Kameido. along with
