On an old store sign. 楽 means "fun" and "ease", but in this case, it's "Have fun at our cosy bar."

"If you are in need of money, if it is urgent, and if you find your bank is not helpful, just call us!" We see a lot of this kind of personal finance advert. If you want to be 100 percent safe, just stay away.

This is just a photograph, and I am in no way related to this phone number. I liked the contrast and that's it. I thought of erasing the number, but it killed this picture and so I decided to keep the numbers.

Somebody dropped his/her bicycle key. Another person put it on the wall of a footbridge. One of the most everyday things in Tokyo.
