Something like this happened a couple years ago, in Kanagawa Prefecture, in the parking lot of a Denny's in Zama City. One gang member shot another gang member, although that was late at night and this one was still during the daytime.

Things boiled over. They need to simmer down.

Ramen?
Not somen?

Their number already indicates the breakdown of the ‘business model’. 8-9-3, the cake pieces are getting smaller. What was size 8, then 9 during the bubble period, is now 3.

Join a gang and lose your noodle.
They'd hardly take the scenic route.
