In a riveting casserole of Japanese geography, the municipalities starring in today’s drama come from Soja in Okayama Prefecture, Unzen in Nagasaki Prefecture, Miyaki in Saga Prefecture, and Yamato in Kumamoto Prefecture. Apparently, being in four different prefectures is the new Olympics for municipal attention. No dates, no dollar billion deals, just a clean lineup of locales eager for buzz—because who doesn’t want a shoutout alongside Soja? If you’re trying to imagine these places huddled together for a suburban karaoke night, forget it. They’re scattered like bad group text members across Japan’s map. We’re all terrible drivers of our own lives, but these towns are experts at being quietly-absurdly distributed.
