Still shaking off the beginning of the week doldrums? Let's watch Kazuo Umezu ride down the 2nd story slide he installed in his holiday house in Nagano:
All I want in life is to meet him and hug him. Dunno if he'd know what was going on though (does he speak English well? I don't think so) and my Japanese is so basic I would not be able to explain how much I love him and must hug him.
@jimpac: Haha, ringing his buzzer might have been a bit scary (for him). Umezz Fest 09!
@That Guy: He is unstoppable
@Jaclyn: Same here! He lived in San Francisco for a while (had a house in Pacific Heights) so I figure he probably speaks well enough to understand crazy Americans hugging him.
oh my. I want that slide!
ReplyDeleteI want him to adopt me.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is almost too cool to be true. I wish he had live in my neighborhood when I was a kid.
ReplyDelete(Just to be sure though, he's never molested any kids, has he?)
@Yuri: Me too! Oh, and I want a villa in the woods of Nagano too :)
ReplyDelete@kouros: SAME! One day I'll meet him, I swear it.
@Locnar: He's the best! Definitely not a molester, sir. He's the Mr. Rogers of Japan!
I stumbled on this video last night... ridiculously cool. I wish I'd had the guts to ring his buzzer when I was in his area the other month!
ReplyDeleteaw man he has a slide?!
ReplyDeletehe is ageless, this one.
he's so cute! I want to hug him.
