concept

The Keyword for Iwai is "cleaner's high". Related to "natural high" this term describes a certain state of mind, when someone is able to get high through cleaning. So for this time's wanakio, he gathered a group of guerilla cleaners to sponge the streets of Naha. Armed with cleaning agents they suddenly emerge out of nothing to wipe out all dirt from Shintoshi til Sakaemachi market square.
Be on your guard!
