Free Culture in Japan

Every Thursday on the way to work, I would pick up a free copy of the magazine "R25" from a roadside newsstand. Although it's free, this magazine is quite well-known in Japan and is issued every Thursday. "R25" specifically targets men aged between 25 and 34 (I am a woman, but I also love reading it; there is also an "L25" aimed at women, but the male-oriented version is more popular), and it is said that the print run of "R25" is 600,000 copies.
