This is beginning to take on aspects of the mouse and the elephant sex 
joke.

But, one comment of Declan's did ring a bell.  I've been in a number of 
Aeon Group's Aeon Malls, Jusco Centers, and Cheerio Malls up in Ibaragi, 
Tochigi and Miyagi.  Most of them have an eikaiwa ... and the few I 
recall have been Aeon ...

But, like Declan, I am not in the eikaiwa business and track them only 
accidentally (incidentally?).
