SGT. Frog x Naigai Yakuhin Japanese Public Bath Collaboration!

SGT. FROG X NAIGAI YAKUHIN JAPANESE PUBLIC BATH COLLABORATION!



KERORO has a new money making plot to fund his GUNDAM collection! Earlier this week, people living in Japan who takes a public bath are treated to using a "Kerorin Oke," a yellow bucket to hold hot water, with SGT. KERORO's face on it! If you haven't caught on yet, it is almost a play on words in Japanese since "Kerorin" and "Keroro" are similar sounding. This collaboration is because of SGT. Frog's 15th Anniversary while his yellow bucket "friend" from , a pharmaceutical company, is celebrating their 50th! Can somebody sayperfect timing?




To advertise this, YouTube Channelreleased a two-minute commercial with our beloved alien frog getting the place ready by sweeping the floor (failed horribly), stacking the buckets (failed horribly, too), and collecting money (decentat best) at a local Public Bath. It is definitely a fun watch, especially the his famous comedy act where he HAS to run into a banana peel no matter the circumstances. (PSA: Please don't run in in-door areas with water especially pools! Former lifeguard here speaking. Ahem.)



Check it out the SGT. Frog x Naigai Yakuhin Japanese Public Bath Collaboration commercial!



By the way, did I ever tell you guys I love KERORO GUNSOU? Such a great manga and anime! The manga has some mild adult references but the TV show is definitely suited for children. Even the Funimation English dub has it's unique charm to it because the writers tweaked it to the American pop culture. I found it highly amusing how one story can be told in 3 different ways while maintaining the overall plot. You definitely won't regret picking up either medium to get into SGT. Frog. (SGT. Frog [English Title]= Keroro Gunsou [Japanese Title]. Sorry if I have been using them interchangeably; they are the one and the same.)
