actually, Sesame Street is what I remember best about Japan. I turn on the TV and see Elmo screaming "Yatta!" and Cookie Monster is all "Ittadakimasu~!" and throwing cookies in his face. What was crazy is that they kept the same pitch as their english counterparts, which almost leads me to believe they kept the same voices and made them say it in Japanese. which would be awesome.
live comments!

This is the second best thing I've seen all week.
