The Japanese work really long hard hours and most people are not excited to go to work, so we decided to help people start off their day with a smile and a high five. Bill Reilly of the Pirates of the Dotombori gave out hundreds of high fives by standing next to a subway escalator during the morning rush. Five additional people spread out along the adjacent stairs, holding signs that prepared commuters for the upcoming high five fun. Our signs together said in Japanese, Bill wants to give you a high five! Get Ready! There was a fifth sign that just read Bill and had an arrow pointing downward. Our volunteers grabbed their assigned signs and spread out along the stairs a little after 8:00 AM in Shinsaibashi station in Osaka Japan.

We want to than "Improv Everywhere" for doing this first and giving us the idea to do it in Japan. We are the biggest fans of "Improv Everywhere.")
