Because sometimes what you need most, especially on a Monday, is a video of Nazo no Sakana, aka The Mysterious Fish, mascot of Japanese professional baseball team the Chiba Lotte Marines, retrieving their “luggage” at the Honolulu Airport. The week can’t help but look brighter knowing this colorful character walks among us.

No one, and I mean absolutely no one else awaits and then claims their baggage with such panache, fishy or otherwise:
