PAIN PAPER FAX
Found in an electronics store in Akihabara.
In a “Scandinavian bread store” that mostly offered bread I've never seen in Scandinavia, I found these five slices of bread wrapped up in a bag with the slogan: Our little friend "TOMTE" use magical secret-power for delicious bread that. Of course, I had to buy it.

To my delight, they were kind enough to put my purchased item into a bag with yet more creative writing:
Our little friend “TOMTE” use magical secret power for delicious BREAD that. Well enjoy in next morning. Children who living in NORTHERN EUROPE tell us secret that just baken BREAD. Yes ········ TOMTE's secret. HOKUO as. BREAD country SAPPORO is very similar with TOMTE's land.

I bought this practical and cute glass in a nearby store. The printed poem reads as follows.
Love's secret
Never seek to tell thy love
Love that never told can
be move For the gentle wind
doth Silently, invisibly
– William Blake –
Unfortunately, Google has not helped me find any writings by William Blake...
Another addition to the collection of Pocari Sweat photos floating around on the web. It's actually not a salty drink as the name would imply, but a sickly-sweet energy drink.
