Kawaii "working characters" -- and a shout-out for Hello, Please! -- abound in this segment I filmed in Kichijoji for NHK's Tokyo Eye show. Check it out here! And for those of you who prefer YouTube, looks like it's been posted there as well.

I really wish they'd have let me bust out their mascot Domo-kun for this segment. I begged, I pleaded...

Did they give a reason? Seems odd they wouldn't want to pimp their own mascot.
By the way, Matthew...you kids gonna be in N.A. anytime in the near future?
