I have really grown to love the catchy tune that plays in the produce section of Daiei supermarket. Gosh, it's something about lively mushrooms. There is also a TV monitor with a little video that accompanies the song, right over the mushroom section. The video shows a cartoon Japanese eringi mushroom dancing around. Sometimes there are other vegetables dancing too, but the mushroom really steals the show.
Why don't we have dancing mushrooms that sing in America? I've always wondered that.
cool, dancing mushrooms! I never saw any of those, but I only went to Daiei once, yeah, in Nakama. I was wondering if you knew the ALTs at Hokuchiku highschool, near Kita-Kyushu? I tried to e-mail you, but didn't get a response. That's all. Thanks
ReplyDeletehey anonymous! I may know those ALTs, but I never heard of that particular school. Do you know their names?
ReplyDeleteIf you wanna try again to send an email (or did you mean you left a comment on this blog that I didn't respond to?) just make sure to put my name and/or your name in the subject. Maybe I thought it was junk mail and deleted it.
hi! It was an actual e-mail, so it probably just got "junk mail-ized." The ALT's are named Shem and Carol. Since the e-mail didn't work, I'll just give you the short version. I am a senior at SHHS who saw info about you in the Swarthmorean and wanted to say "hi". I want to participate in the Jet program and have studied Japanese since middle school and lived there twice, the longest was for 10 months, and I plan to study Japanese in college. My e-mail is KatBesch2000@yahoo.com if you want to try to drop me a note. Thank you!
