Nothin' says lovin'...


I’ll close out the week of Valentine’s Day with one more story of romance. Or a form of it, I guess.

NPR reports that there’s an annual event in Japan called Beloved Wives Day. The object (apparently) is that husbands publicly proclaim their love for their wives.

No, no—by “publicly” I mean they get up in front of a microphone on a Tokyo street & shout, “[Wife’s name], I love you.”

I have no take on whether or not the wives appreciate this. But I suppose it makes a nice contrast to the infidelity phones there that I reported on a month ago.
