I can only crane my mo' fuckin' neck... 


It looks like Don Quixote -- or just 'donki' in Japanese, Japan's most successful, and just plain cool, discount retailer (I'll brook no comparisons to WalMart!) -- will be opening a shop in the Ginza soon, a place more or less to Tokyo what 'Rodeo Drive' is to LA.
