Tokyo Books

Just newspaper on the Traffic Lights in the streets. T_T

While in Akihabara I got a LOT of tissues that turned into Figures Protective Cushons!!!!

They hand out leaflets with restaurants coupons at the local Daiso ^o^ and we get fastfood coupons in the mail occasionally :P

Once I was offered some Neo-nazi propaganda on a street.. I refused it, cause a: I didn't want it.. and b: Figured the FBI was watching and don't need to screw up any chances of becoming President someday ^_^

Salaryman Trooper of the Akiyama family? Hmm... relations to Mio anyone?

I love the Korean and Japanese books/magazines, they come with real goods and good coupons instead of the sorry excuse of "extras" the magazines here have.

There are plenty of free magazines around here that are interesting, but rarely see someone actually handing them out. All I can think of is the mX newspaper they hand out in the city ^^

Some places will give out free booklets or magazines from time to time.Some are interesting some are not.Just today a lady at the mall was handing out booklets for the mall and it had a few coupons in it for the food court.

here in Toronto, free stuff is always being handed out near or at Union station, downtown. newspapers, bags, u name it. last week they had 20,000 Avocados Being Given Away at Toronto’s Union Station to celebrate Mexico's independence day and Canada's multiculturalism.

a lot of leaflets but no magazine, wish the leaflet at least have a coupon but people here are really cheap.

They mostly give leaflet/brochures no magazines. I like reading newspapers rather than books/novels. I have few novels but get hard time to finish it.

We usually get coupons and what not in the mail every now and then, although it's gotten rarer these days. There are people that hand things out in the street, but only if you visit their store and buy something.

The only thing they hand out in the city here are passes and coupons to strip clubs haha.
We dont really get anything useful like the things described :[

I wish they are that generous here in Malaysia -__-

Usually stuff claimed to be free either comes with a catch or too good to be true...

"Some of the stuff handed out is moderately interesting but only for a read while one is waiting for a train of having a poo."

This is why you should keep your hands clean and not eat in strange resturants. （；^ω^）

nothing is given free here.

Absolutely nothing... (T_T)

I like the title of the magazine "Look!" ^^

Salaryman Trooper get's to sweep all around Tokyo? He could be millionaire!. LOL!.

The only people we have on the streets are ones *asking* for free stuff OTL

Good morning Akiyama Trooper?
lol

We have flyers handed out, just take, nothing as interesting as in Japan~

Usually flyers, this kind of stuff; there's also 2 or 3 newspapers, too. But as you said, they'r good for when you're havin a poo ^__^

lololol Salaryman Trooper XD

In Singapore i have never seen before people giving out free magazines (Well only in those special events they do). How i wish they do X_X

Oh and i like Japanese and Korean magazines as well....every thing is really detailed in these magazines, i like Famitsu magazine the most, it's a weekly Japanese magazine and it has many many details in it (although i don't know what's the meaning but i love looking at those pictures). It's amazing how they can release such a thick magazine in every week, compared to English magazines where they only release once per month but there's so few pages in it >_>

We get free newspapers handed out. Not too bad of a read if you can't afford $1 newspapers.

Here we get a lot of leaflets and magazines. But I find their content mediocre, to say the least.

No magazines but we get some local newspapers for free.

I think now people prefer E -BOOKs than a magz or textbook

I heard that Japan really is a book/magazine country...and no surprise now I know that advertisers pay a lot of it. The only thing we get for free are average newspapers in the morning ^^;

Theres a couple of free newspapers that they give out daily downtown, actually they can be found on most trains where people tend to read and leave them (^_^)

AH ok I thought it was Tokyo Boobs, I think I've been watching to many ecchi anime

Nothing much around here...just pamphlets and the occasional tissue papers...

it's an interesting concept, but it just seems to me like they'd be wasting money by printing all these magazines and giving them out for free. Especially if they're not that great like you said...

We don't get any magazines for free, just fliers.

Around my parts the only thing handed out would be free samples of new food products at the grocery store. Aside from that not much...

No free magazines being handed out around here, at least not that I have seen.

Well, there is from propaganda to... just that, for free i mean XP
Cause of the lately (like for 200 years lately) economic failures, many ppl sell things on the streets, like little books, toys, etc.
Usually the prices are like 10 mexican pesos, like 65 yens :D

Once recieved a magazine... then realise it's just a marketing ad about JUST ONE product
It's amazing what lengths some advertising companies will go to just to get one product out on the streets

Here they give you just some free newspaper, that is good only for a trip on the train at best.

When I visited, I also got my share of free magazines a coupons, only the magazines is written in weird Chinese-looking characters and the coupons usually only gives you a 100 yen discount. But hey, free stuff is free stuff.

By the way, Salaryman Trooper is the best!
