Dear Otaku Illustrated Subscriber,

                                                                                                     

So continuing with animals, the next animal that I'll talk about is the snake, which is known as hebi.

                                                                           

Today, I will continue with the geographic reason for why the majority of the Japanese live in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.  1868 was when the Meiji restoration began, and Edo was renamed Tokyo.  All of the cultural and urban developments from the Edo period ended up becoming the foundation for the growth of Toyko into a global city.  Japan's cities being rebuilt to the specs of western cities was the biggest thing that the Meiji Restoration is know for.  This included things like railroads and the telegraph system.  And this western influence led to industrialization, which then led to urban migration.  With Osaka and Yokohama becoming industrial hubs, they attracted many people from the rural areas.  The end of WWII left Japan to have to face massive reconstruction, especially in Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki.  This was a major test of their rapid urban development, with help from foreign aid and technological innovations.  This reconstruction resulted in Japan's economy booming once again during the second half of the 20th century  and it's cities expanding once again, especially Tokyo which went on to become the world's most populous city and the global economic powerhouse that it is today.  So now that I covered history of Japan, which explains Tokyo, I'll get started on Japan geography which will explain Osaka and Nagoya next week.

                                                                           

The very first time that I heard about this series was when it returned to Nintendo consoles on the GCN.  It was only then that I discovered that it had games on the Super Nintendo and I went back to grab those after I enjoyed the GCN release.  So now that all six of the original games are being rereleased on the Switch, I have  no intention of missing out on this collection.  If you've also been enjoying this series since the days of the Super Nintendo and have no intention of missing out on this collection, or even if you've never played a game from this series but want to see what all the excitement is about, the we can both pre - order ours below:
