Five finalists have been chosen for the name of the new Amakusa #1 bridge, and if you’re like me, you don’t care about this at all as long as it gets you to the beach faster. One struck me as kinda cute, though - the Kumamon Kyo 「熊門橋」［くまもんきょう］, a play on the words of “Kumamon” and “Gateway to Kumamoto” (could they paint it black with a couple of cheek rosés atop? Please?). So that’s got my vote in the unlikely case that I do (disclaimer: I won’t). If you’re interested in the totally lame names of the other four finalists and how to vote, Kumanichi’s got you covered at the link. - William
