Mmmm Pocky

I Love Pocky. And I Love Pocky commercials. Today, one of the teachers in my Japanese institute is returning from Japan. Well, she returned sometime this week, but she's gonna be there today, and she's brining me a box of Pocky. Ah, I can't wait. For now, enjoy an obscene amount of Pocky commercials, so click read more!

Me encanta el Pocky. Y me encantan los comerciales de Pocky. Hoy, una de mis maestras del instituto donde estudio Japonés, va a llevarme una caja de Pocky porque se fué a Japón a visitar a su familia, y regresó en la semana. No puedo esperar. Por ahora, disfruten una cantidad épica de comerciales de Pocky, así que píquenle en read more.

Be warned. Some of the commercials make little to no sense. So don't question the logic, just go with the flow! Oh, and the first 2 of course, will be with the ever so gorgeous Satoshi Tsumabuki.

Some notes: It's a bit overrated, mostly consumed on this side of the world by wanna be Japanese (I'm completely serious, too). It tastes like any other chocolate (or other flavored) covered cookie I have eaten before, but hey, it's free. Don't get me wrong, I love their culture, I mean, I watch Japanese TV and speak the language, and I am fairly informed of customs and such :P, but from personal experience, it would seem some people tend to forget their own culture to replace it with another, and that's just sad.

The game they are playing in one of the commercials, is called 王様 (ousama=king). And it's basically a punishment game.

    Well, I can buy Pocky at obscenely high prices in those specialty Asian stores. But I swear those boxes give me the creeps. I'm sure they are a few years old! (Or so I imagine every time I see them.)

    So, I prefer the product that comes provided with special care from my sensei! :P
