POSTSCRIPT
I decided not to play the interview I did with Mr. Yukawa. I wasn’t sure if you would have the patience to deal with his heavy accent. Also, one thing I didn’t get to talk about was “The Gay Angle” I’ve been told by various friends, though have yet to see any evidence of it, that the Tare Pandas are very popular in the Bear Scene. The Tare Panda character, when lying down, usually has a smaller panda lying on top of him, or under him, being squished. I didn’t have the guts to talk about it with Mr. Yukawa but it gives my collection a whole new dimension which I totally love. While researching this show I came across a Tare Panda Resturant in Africa and a Tare Panda phone. All I could do is shake my head while uttering, “sick, sick SICK!” with happiness.
