This morning while I was getting dressed, I heard something familiar coming from the TV in the living room. My son was watching the NOGGIN channel. Between programs, they play a variety of different things that are fun and interesting for the kids.

Today, I heard the familiar theme and door knock of the "Dekoboko Friends." "Dekoboko Friends" are animated characters from a Japanese children's show (that my son watches daily. "Okaasan to Issho") The "Friends" knock on a door after their theme song, and then do something interesting. Everything lasts about fifteen seconds. What surprised me about this was that the familiar characters spoke in English!

I saw three of them. Ken Baan is Ken Baan, Tamagoouji is The Egg Prince, and Hana Hana Maron is Nut 'N' Nose. Cute.

I wonder if these cute little things will catch on here.

Not "TAMAGOSAMA". He is "TAMAGO OUJI".

They look like characters my 4yr old draws. That might make him like it though

I just saw Oogaara and Anakuma on Noggin this morning.
(between7:55-8:00) I wonder how many times they show up on Noggin.

It seems that they're on at 55 minutes after the hour every hour during Noggin's broadcast.

 

Speaking of Noggin: Am I the only one who misses the latenight "Sesame Street Unpaved"?
