LOL...I'm was sooo happy upon hearing this since i'm a big fan of Doraemon since God knows when. hahaha! Also, Doraemon is one of the newest models of the clothing line Baleno.

one of my friends even said that watching doreamon is better than watching Mr. Bean (animated version)...in doreamon, you get lessons while in mr. Bean...well, you get MUMBLES.

I believe that Doraemon deserves to be a Japanese Ambassador. This is long overdue. Doraemon cartoon teach us about life - love, friendship, kindness and even care for the environment. Doraemon also emphasizes the technological advances that are possible in the future. I watched Star Trek as a kid and saw their communicators. As a young adult these communicators became the cellphones. I am curious to see which of Doraemon's dogu would eventually become real. Doraemon is also the epitome of a real friend. Despite Nobita being a loser - weak, has limited intelligence and lazy, Doraemon sticks with him and bails him out a lot of times.

Kawaii-ne.. I am surprised by this retro choice. I remember watching Doraemon as a child and I loved watching it. Neko-chan has been around for so many years, however, his appeal is still strong. I'm glad to see Neko-chan being chosen as the new ambassador. Kambatte ne, Neko-chan!
