Bejitarizumu Dayo! ~ Randomness


HELLO!!!

Sooo I'm here to apologize for the lack of posts this month. I must highlight that I'm in my last semester at Uni and that we are slowly approaching the imminent end of this chapter! Phew. This translates to CRUNCH TIME, (in)finite STRESS, and a lot of Kleenex and cupcakes to alleviate this aforementioned stress. Needless to say this infant blog suffered some neglect, and I'm sorry, but yeah, I'll be fully committed once I'm done with school and "unemployed". 


In the meantime...I've been re-obsessed with this Japanese video of 4 little girls (3 girls! one of them is a boy, can you guess which one?) promoting healthy eating and as you may have guessed from the title, Vegetarianism! Yes, Bejitarizumu! Read it out loud! Funny huh? Well not really vegetarianism, the company Triple-O wanted to promote eating veggies to kids (it's a play on words, vegetarian and rhythm.) But seriously, gotta love the Japanese for their creativity and catchy songs! It's so random and I love it! I attached the video with the better quality but there's another one with subtitles. It's like the Teletubbies meets the Power Puff Girls meets your nutritionist! Try to get the song out of your head. Come on, I dare you.

PS. It is now my dream to learn this dance. Sa-SAaaa!!
PSS. I love the facial expressions of the purple girl...I mean boy.

Translated lyrics:

Vegetables today
If you put them in a pot 
with happy thoughts
It's Vegeta-rhythm 

Mama with a menu
Papa at work
Everyone with a smile
It's Vegeta-rhythm

Cut them up, grill them, peel them
Simmer them, steam them, as they are - raw
It's Vegeta-rhythm 

If you become sad
Put them in a pot
Everyone likes them
It's Vegeta-rhythm 

I want to say 
I love them
I like them a lot 
It's Vegeta-rhythm 

Turnips, potatoes, celery, parsley
Kabocha, tomatoes, everything together in a pot
Cut them up, grill them, peel them
Simmer them, steam them, as they are - raw
It's Vegeta-rhythm
