Do you know these Japanese food, "TARAKO & YAKITORI" ??The former means "cod roe" (tiny red eggs, we often eat them without boiling.) and the latter means "barbecued chicken". Both of them taste good, and also they are very popular among Japanese people. Especially, last year, TARAKO was trendy food because TV commercial of the cream pasta sauce of "TARAKO" was come up by the mass media as funny and cute advertisement. The reason why it was so entertaining was that two young girls were dancing with wearing TARAKO's costume and singing "the TARAKO song" .Therefore, the unique melody and dance became so popular!!
I found the TV commercial♪♪Please check it!I think it's very cute,and also we did same thing!!
Last weekend, our university held the annual festival from Nov 1 to 3. In the first day, we had a coscumey parade. And at that time……(did you notice yet??) we became "the TARAKO girls" ! Of course, there ware boys like Kakeru, but it was no problem. They wore one-piece dresses. At that day, we were wearing "TARAKO" and wallking around our area with dancing and singing for almost 4 hours!!!Everyone looked tired, but we did our best I think, so I really enjoyed our first day of the event.
Also, on the 2nd day, we opened a "YAKITORI shop". We prepared "YAKITORI" early in the morning, and sold them. At first, we guessed that the amount of "YAKITORI" was enough to do, however, they were sold out in a flash, so we were very surprised!! It resulted in supplying "YAKITORI" left for 3rd day, so we succeeded to run own shop. Of course, we ate them secretly during grilling☆
Throughout 3 days, we really cooperated with the costumey parade and running our shop, so I felt that my peers were bright. Ummmmm~~~~GREAT！！

That sounds really good! I will have to try it out if I go there. That video is...uhh...how should I say this? That's something alright! Nothing compared to what the TV commercials we have over here.
We haven't had anything big happen at our campus. I think Ron Paul, one of the candidates running for president here in the US is visiting here on Friday. Hilary Clinton visited us last week. But we did have halloween.
I am not sure if you celebrate that over there but on October 31st of every year, people dress up in costumes and trick or treat for candy and be scary. In my dormitory, we made a haunted house and competed against others to be the scariest and we won! It was excellent!
That is really cool how you were able to make your own shop and create Yakitori. I am also sure you had fun dressing up with Tarako. Hopefully one day, I will be able to experience it. (^_^)
