JAPOKANI GAKUSHŪCHŌ video list

Also this time I show you some food.
Because I found an idea when I went to buy ingredient of DANGO for the last episode.
------------------------------------


As you know DANGO is a kind of 和菓子(WAGASHI, Japanese sweets).
But today I explain and introduce some products and how it is sold.

At first I showed "Mountain of Mushrooms" and "Village of Bamboo".
きのこの山
The left one is "Village of Bamboo", the right one is "Mountain of Mushrooms" in this photo.

You can see that these are chocolate snack confections.
And as I said in the video, these products are very famous.
A Long saller items.
(Mountain of Mushrooms since 1975, Village of Bamboo since 1979)

きのこ = KINOKO mushrooms
たけのこ = TAKENOKO bamboo





But this is not only the reason why I introduced this.

Because there is a "sectional quarrels".
But of course this is a kind of a joke.
This proves that Japan is a very peaceful country.

Mainly on internet, people say
"Which do you prefer KINOKO or TAKENOKO ?"
"I prefer TAKENOKO"
"Haa!? Why!! I like KINOKO ! KINOKO is better !!"

This is quarrels.
But they are not serious, just do it spuriously.

Rather some people start to talk about "KINOKO VS TAKENOKO" when he finds some REAL quarrels.
To stop it.
(I don't know if it's really effective though)
Anyway this is a topic to communicate smoothly.

KINOKO NO YAMA & TAKENOKO NO SATO website


The next I showed some confection products with collection items like this.
ポケモン02マリオカートグミ02まどマギ02








I chose POKEMON and MARIO and MADOKA, because I thought you know these.

But these are just the tip of the iceberg !!!!
There are so sooooo many products like this.
It's too many to buy all kinds.
So I chose some of them.


I think there are something like this also foreign countries.
I mean "confection products holding item to collect".
Here is Japan. So there are many products for Japanese anime and games.

I showed only "MADOKA wefer" but there is "MADOKA snack" "MADOKA chocolate" etc....
So I can't buy all kinds of them. Too many.

But I remember that there was not such many character confections when I was a child.
I increased sharply.

There was a huge boom of BIKKURIMAN in 1989.

The seal list of BIKKURIMAN

Kids in those days collected this.
Even adults.

But some of them are "very rare". So we couldn't get it easily.
Some adults bought many BIKKURIMAN and got seals but they thrown wefers.
So it was a social problem. And some crimes occurred.
Even though it's just seal !!!!!!!!!
But I think collectors are the same in any countries.

Anyway after BIKKURIMAN's boom, products "a wefer and a seal (or a card)" increased !


We call the products holding items for kids "SHOKUGAN".

食玩 = SHOKUGAN

This is shortened word.
Originally it's 食品玩具(SHOKUHIN GANGU).

食品 = SHOKUHIN foods
玩具 = GANGU toys



So I introduced the newest 食玩 "HAKO-VISION" at the last of today's video.

HAKO-VISION website
Amazon - HAKO-VISION
Youtube channel - HAKO-VISION

I don't have smart phone, so I couldn't watch the video with HAKO-VISION even though I bought it ! XD

But this is the newest !!
It uses some newer technology "smart phone" "streaming video" "internet" "vocaloid" and so on.
So I think this is a "high technology SHOKUGAN".
Because SHOKUGAN was like this originally.

This product has some caramells and mini toys.
This was SHOKUGAN for us before.

But now, as you see, it uses high technology and decreases confection. XD


For Bonus video I received many photos of Cluster amaryllis from my friend ISAZI.
Cluster amaryllis is called 彼岸花(HIGANBANA) or 曼珠沙華(MANJUSHAGE) in Japanese.

Google image search 曼珠沙華

Why it has 2 names?
曼珠沙華(MANJUSHAGE) is originally Sanskrit word "mañjūṣaka".
So this word came from abroad and Japanese people gave it KANJI.
彼岸花(HIGANBANA) is Japanese word.

In Japan there are some gardens for this flower.
The biggest garden is KINCHAKUDA garden in SAITAMA prefecture. (Click here to look the website.)
There are 5 million Cluster amaryllis flowers !
(But photos I show in bonus and here are not shot at KINCHAKUDA but in MIYAZAKI prefecture)

I was scared of this flower when I saw this at the very first time as a child.
But now I feel this beautiful.

Some people tweeted photos of KINCHAKUDA.

[News]

I started new channel on Youtube.
Kanipan.'s Apocalypse GAME SIDE on Youtube

This channel is for game playing video.
But I must say that I can't put foreign language subtitles for now.
So I just talk Japanese playing some games.
This channel will be updated EVERYDAY (from today)!!!
At first I played MOTHER1, MOTHER2 and MOTHER3.
In English it's called "EARTHBOUND" series.


I guess you can't understand what I talk.
(Of course I'd like to put English subtitle at least but I don't have enough time to do it)

But as well, my main channel is here.
I'd like to do live streaming again.

Always I don't have time !!!!! XD
Why am I such busy !!!?!?
I think the reason is "I'm poor".
Because there is a Japanese Proverb.
"Poor person has no time to spare"
