## What is 昭和メロレン新聞?

Showa Meloren Shimbun is a free app that lets you read what happened in the Showa era (1950s–1980s) on today's date, just like a newspaper from that time.

■ Just open it every day
Open the app and you'll see Showa-era news from the same month and day as today, arranged by year. No sign-up or login required — start reading right away.

■ Relive "that day" in the Showa era
From politics and the economy to daily life, entertainment, and sports; from national papers to local ones. Look back on what happened "on this day in 1964," complete with the Japanese era year (wareki).

■ Senior-friendly
Large text, generous spacing, and big "Up / Down" buttons. Easy on the eyes and simple to navigate.

■ Great for
- Anyone who enjoys reminiscing about the old days
- Those looking for a conversation starter with family or grandparents
- Those who want a small daily pleasure

Everything is free to use.
