Sign Of The Times

It seems like just yesterday we asked you to befriend us on Myspace, but my how things change...for the better, if you ask us.

If you haven't done so already, we'd like to cordially invite you to follow Showa OK! on Facebook and Twitter, both of which regularly feature exclusive content. For future reference, there is a permanent link to both these sites on the right side of our main page under the Links section.

Our heads may be stuck in the Shōwa period, but our eyes and ears are all Heisei! At least for now...
