Oh Benny-You are the cutest!
I feel like a proud Momma, seeing my baby bear on Japanese TV. I just got these images from Artemis in Japan-Benny on a Japanese television drama. Clearly a healing bear, bringing love and snuggles to Mother and Child, Benny obviously plays a pivotal role in this Japanese drama.
If you read Japanese, you can learn the complete story line on the Asahi TV site. If not, here’s what I understand: Dousoukai “revolves around four men and women around the age of 45, who meet again after thirty years, at their junior high reunion. Feelings of love unexpectedly emerge among them, leading to a complicated situation.” (via)
A complicated situation indeed! “Kuroki plays the former honor student Tomomi, who takes care of her two children and her currently unemployed husband. Back in junior high, she and Kosuke…had feelings for each other. Kosuke is now a police detective, but he has trouble balancing his work with his wife and son. Saito plays a housewife leading a high-class lifestyle but hiding a secret, while Mikami plays a magazine editor who has gone through a divorce but is still popular with women.” (via)
Still popular with women? Despite his divorce? Shocking!
What 'cha doin' on the couch there Benny? Just chillin' while the adults talk?
Here’s a clip from the drama, drama, drama:
