      KUMAMOTO, Japan - A couple sit together on a newly constructed bench at a park in Kikuchi, Kumamoto Prefecture, southwestern Japan, in this file photo taken on Nov. 22, 2014. As the Japanese name of the park's location sounds similar to "wife" in English, the city created the moon-shaped loveseat, for married couples in particular. At night, the spot is illuminated by yellowish street lights nearby and resembles sitting on a crescent moon when viewed from a certain angle.
