So cute! (in Chinese)
Now, let’s go to the city!
But wait...

Is it Friday?
Q.Have you come to Taiwan before?
It’s my first time.
Q.How were you welcomed?
It made me happy.
It’s my first visit to Taiwan...
but I’m glad so many people know about me.
They welcomed me with so warmly.
I want to hold a concert here.
Q. What is your image of Taiwan?
I’ve heard that Taiwan people are nice to Japanese people.
Maybe that is why Japanese culture is embraced here. That’s what I think.
I might get run over.
There is a pig. This is the first time I've seen a pig.
Look, there is a pig.

Sunglasses?
It’s in Japanese.
It’s all in Japanese?

the bold frames are very popular.
I like...
15,000 TWD (app. 52,500 yen)
This is my style.
This!?

This isn’t for me.
I prefer others.
Wearing a T-shirt even in the winter, the shop manager explains about the popularity of Japanese glasses...

There’s a cat.
A cat. Cute.
A cat. Meow.

Whose cat is this?
This is my cat.
What’s her name?
Mei Mei
So cute. So small.
Mei Mei is the icon of the store.
Mei Mei (5 months, female)
- Does she scratch? - A little.
Cute. Mei Mei. I want to take her back to Japan.
Do you want to see?
How cute. Cute! (in Chinese)
And then...
Wow! Cute. You have something like that? Really?
Look, look. She's very curious.
