Finally the craze of Spoo is setting down. Right from the start, since they would have rehearsal, the TV show staff should have known that she is so bad at drawing. According to the nature of that TV program (The National channel, serious kids show), they should not let her draw. At that point, even the kid show, ponkikki is more relaxed, and funny.
Ponkikki is the long-running kids show (since 1973). The famous characters of the show are Gachapin and Muck. Gachappin is an athlete and challenges many sports. All children (including me when I was a kid) believe that Gachappin is a perfect superman, when they were kids. You can check it on youtube. Of course, each specialist wore Gachappin costume and did it, but still it's great isn't it? Actually his challenge history is released as videos.
So for most Japanese this color combination means Gachappin, and he is a toy and idol for even adults like this. Ponkikki doesn't care that the comedy show makes parodies like this real ponkikki. Yesterday I found some news, Vodafon Japan made a Gachappin kit for Vodafon 705T. Wow cute!! If I had a green T705, I am sure I would get it and use Gachappin phone.*
