Anpanman Show

Remember Anpanman?

Well then you can imagine the excitement when he came to the mall near our house.

Kiko made asked me to sit in line for 45 minutes so we could get up close and personal.

It only got better after the show was done (the show consisted of a 2 minute commercial with babies in anpanman diapers doing exercises while the crowed had to follow along) as all the kids got to shake anpanman’s hand.

Noa went for the kill and got a hug.

Noa’s only comment, “anpanman is big.”

We followed it up with some stuffed anpanman-action,

and that finished off our day.

Just in case you forgot how stunningly handsome my child is (just like pappy.)

A little video action before the storm

I am currently uploading some pictures from our recent trips to Nagano and Guam as we speak!

In the meantime, why don’t we get some video goodness happening.

Anyone that has a slight interest in Japan or the Japanese language will have heard of the term “ganbatte!”. It is pretty much the all encompassing word for “good luck!” “you can do it!” “chipper up!” “break a leg” etc etc. It is pronounced GAN (as in Ghandhi)- BAT – TEY (hey with a T)

Watch the master in action.

Speaking of mastery, I decided it was time for Noa to learn how to wink to woo the ladies.
