monkey magic!

remember this face from your childhood? I didn't even notice until Yuka pointed it out to me. 'monkey' is still a major star in Japan - hosting chat/game shows, like takeshi kitano, almost every night. his teeth are huge and very bright but I don't hold it against him.

actually 'piggy' is a frequent guest on many game shows too. the television community seems to be even more inbred than in the UK (which I thought would be difficult). 'piggy' tends to cry alot these days - he's very sensitive. (come to think of it did he not used to cry in the old TV show too?)

I'm not sure what became of the other guy and that girl who wore white and rode a horse. maybe they're still travelling around. more probably they're on another channel.
