Today is the 7th of July in Reiwa 7 (令和7年 = 2025), making it a "777" day 🎰

Due to the lucky vibe, many people in Japan are allegedly queueing for submitting marriage registration forms today; and others are for trying their luck at Pachinko 🙃

山田太郎 (Yamada Taro)
= a Japanese name commonly used as a placeholder in a form/document, i.e. the Japanese equivalent to John Smith

山田 (Yamada) is a very common surname but 太郎 (Taro) is not as common as it used to be, likely due to its dominant use in documents
