Great video, unfortunately it looks like the rest of the world is quickly going the same way as Japan when it comes to Christmas.

@jakejake561 Thanks for the compliment. Also, if you expand the notes on the video, I wrote a description of the cultural references I use for the video. You can also find the same explanations on my blog.

大変よく出来た、アナ先生。 And such a wonderful Julie-Andrews-with-a-Canadian-­accent singing voice as well. I'm glad you got the Col. Sanders statues dressed up as Santa in there. There wasn't a KFC near me when I lived in Japan, but it was always so strange to see at KFC when I'd go to Kyoto's Kawaramachi area around Christmas time. (Plus, I think he's only about 5 feet tall, so it's strange year round.)

I hope that's not a man who's late in the "CM," as the girl (Eri Fukatsu) was only 15.

Yoi otoshi o!

@languageandhumor  Thanks for the compliment. Also, I am surprised that you could tell I am Canadian. Good ear!

[languageandhumor]

@AnaTheSavageMuse "Also, I am surprised that you could tell I am Canadian. Good ear!" No, your "abOUt a man" diphthong was too subtle in the song for me to notice. I looked at your blog and saw the "colour" and "grade five" (vs. my American "fifth grade")--and then the parts where you say you're from Canada made me fairly certain you're from The True North strong and free.

Have you seen the "Christmas in Japan" music video by other expatriates in Japan? It's fun: watch?v=lmCrIZeob4w

[AnaTheSavageMuse]

@languageandhumor Thanks for the link! Ah, yes. We would say both here in Canada (re: Fifth grade versus grade five), but "colour" is definitely the British spelling which is what we do here. Er, there.
