The first vid is the animated version of the theme song, and the second vid is the song being perfomred live. Notice how in the live version, there are almost no kids in the audience. Weird.

The film's story: Anpanman finds an odd little girl from outer space. The girl turns out to be Kokin-chan, Dokin-chan's younger sister who came to Earth to play. Moreover, Kokin-chan is a master of fake crying and exploits her skill to get out of the trouble she causes. And her tears have the special power to make anyone whose eyes are touched by them cry without reason.

Anpaman To Asobo A-I-U-E-O Kyoushitsu （アンパンマンとあそぼあいうえお教室）

2008-06-18T16:30:00.002-07:00

You may not be familiar with the Anpanman brand but basically he is a half dessert/half superhero that seems to have all the young kids of Japan enamored.

Here, Anpanman and his crew are given the DS treatment and throught this japanese ds game, young kids can build on their study of hiragana and katakana (Japanese syllabaries) through minigames.

For example, the game may have players match up pictures of different objects with their japanese name. The game also has mini games that help students practice their japanese character writing and visual recognition.

As a student of Japanese, I can easily see how this game could help teach newcomers to the language the different characters as well as expand vocab.
