Or does it just seem like it?

I took a flight from Busan to Tokyo not long ago and was surprised at how many dangling key chains I witnessed.

Were they all part of some convention for maintenance engineers or is it now considered Japanese fashion for men to wear suits with dangling key chains?

Seriously.

Been here for only five months, but I haven't noticed it. I have noticed the excessive amount of phone dongles many of them have though.

The dangling key chains. Yeah, its a fashion statement. I see that where I am at too in Japan. I also remember that way back when in the U.S.
