A: Hey there, how's it going?
B: Pretty good, what's new with you?

A: You know that arcade in Ikebukuro, Adores Sunshine? Well...
B: Yeah, I love that place! What about it?

A: It's closing down :( They announced this week that they'll be shutting it for good in January.
B: No way! That's sad. Any idea why they're closing?

A: They said "various circumstances", but it seems like it's not profitable anymore. There are no plans to reopen nearby.
B: I see... Well, let's go there before it closes then! It's a bummer, but at least we can make some good memories.

A: Definitely! And while we're in the area, there's this retro arcade that's still hanging on if you want to check it out.
B: Sounds good! Let's do it! I don't want to miss a chance to play at a real Japanese game center before they all disappear.
