I think this is Japanese way. They are doing a good job even they are away from home country. ;) Actually I liked the kid's voice, too!! :D

The penguin of east Japan's SUICA is also cute!

Sometimes I feel there are just too many characters anywhere in Japan and I'm kinda fed up with them, but this one was something special to me. ^ ^ That's true, easy to be remembered!

The song is very cute, as is the Manekineko Duck! How devious of them to get to our hearts like that. ;) It's interesting since it's an American company and the duck is well known back home in the US... but only as a symbol, not as a cute duck with a life of its own. ^^ That's one thing I miss about Japan - there's a cute character for everything! Even transport cards like ICOCA have their own, easily recognisable figure (he's also really cute!!!). Ha, I can see what you mean! The song is very cute, as is the Manekineko Duck!
