Hey, Japan! I have always wanted a short series based on "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)" by Alan Sherman and Lou Busch. If you could get Ryutaro Nakamura to direct it, that would be awesome.

Don't remind me, I had to make that a project in music class, twice!

Now I finally get the recurring skit on SMAPxSMAP, "Tsuyoshi Kajiri."

Nobody gets Minna no Uta either (that thing is 50 years strong now)! I kinda wish they did an anime based on this tune!

Hey guys, stop knocking on Japan. So they're making an Anime based on a song. No different worse than Hollywood making Battleship, a blockbuster movie based on a boardgame.

Yeah, at first I was as incredulous as you were but then when I read the article things began to click into place. It's five-minute episodes aimed at young children, of course it's going to be a bit weird. Heck, even the Brits have the Tellytubbies, and they just have to be as bizarre as a butt-biting insect.

Well, Battleship does have the precedent of Clue. But then, there have been movies made from songs, though I don't know if there's ever been a series based off one.

It's actually not half bad. The song I mean. And the video was clever.

Heck, my horse is pretty amazing. With a tug on it's mane it turns into a plane, and it turns back again when you tug on it's ... Oooohh, that's dirty.
