Recently, an arcade in Japan that took a decade to build was tragically destroyed by a fire. In response, the owner of the arcade has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help revive the establishment.

One notable supporter of this effort is WWE star Asuka. The owner of the Living Bird store, which housed a collection of classic arcade games in Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, admitted to grappling with the decision to resort to crowdfunding. Initially believing that reconstruction was unattainable, the owner refrained from considering crowdfunding until a viable path to rebuilding emerged.

Now fully committed to the endeavor, the owner sees this as a final opportunity to realize the dream of resurrecting the arcade and is hopeful that with the support of the community, the arcade can be rebuilt.
