Manmaru SUMAIRU

May 10th, 2008 Amy

I haven’t really heard the song, just found it by checking up on the Hajimete Hajimemashite post - Truly a surprise to find that they have changed the song on their site.

Well, I actually didn’t know what the heck ASOBO meant, lol… but I looked it up. (answer here, if you’re interested in use and phrases), is another NHK show I remember catching a glimpse of. I actually went through my video archive on VCR tapes, and I had recorded some of the show during its 1998-2001 period.
