***Warning: If you do not like catchy songs that get in your head and don’t come out, then don’t read this post!

There is a children’s TV show on NHK called Mitsuketa! or みいつけた！ It seems to be on of Yasu’s favourite shows, and while he had time off from work, he had it on every afternoon.

At the end of every show they play a song called みいつけた！which is the kind of theme song. It is a take-off version of a song by the same name by Tortoise Matsumoto (トータス松本) a popular singer in Japan.
This song is so catchy that I can’t get it out of my head for days at a time. Last week I had that and Genghis Khan going round and a round in my head. And every time I get it out of my head, Yasu will start up singing it or it will be on TV again. That said, I do love the song, it’s very cute. The show itself is quite cute too. Here’s the video :)

Another funny character from the show is called Ofroski (it’s meant to sound Russian) but when it is spelt in Japanese you will see why he is in a bath –>
オフロスキー (get it??)

The show also has a talking chair and a talking cactus. I love the little girl she is super cute. :)

Oh, and if you need the words to the song, here they are (just so you can get it stuck in your head abit more!!)

みいつけた！
作詞・作曲・うた：トータス松本

まん丸い　ほそ長い？　どれくらい？　でこぼこざらざら
においはどう？　突いてみ？　おもしろい？　朝から晩まで

さあ探そう　登ったり掘ったり
すべって転んで　どこまでも

愛のタマゴ　タマゴ　あたためよう
きみのタマゴ　なにがでる？

割れたりか枯れたり　いろいろあるけど
気にしない　気にしない
すぐまた見つかる　かならず見つかる　いくらでも

愛のタマゴ　タマゴ　あたためよう
きみのタマゴ　なにがでる？

さあ探そう
