Oh! Mikey [Japanese-language vid]

June 23rd, 2007 by Claytonian


Oh! Mikey: not just a funny/creepy series about a foreign–and incidentally mannequin– family living in Japan, but the twins’ speech (sixth vid in this playlist) is a good exercise in the nuances of saying certain things that are close in meaning to each other.

The third episode is rather funny.
