Mujinkun no Ryoha-kun I found this picture the other day as I was sorting out my computer: 先日コンピューターをいじっていたら、こんな写真が出て来ました：  Those of you who were in Japan around 1998 may remember the popular Mujinkun series of commercials. Yes, this is me as "Rohya-kun". I wasn't in any of the TV spots, but I was developing the Mujinkun website at the time. This photo was posted on the site advertising my services as the head webmaster of Chantosei (Planet Chanto). 1998年頃に日本にいた方なら、「むじんくん」のテレビCMシリーズを覚えている事でしょう。そう、これは僕が演じていた「ローヒャくん」です。テレビに写ることはありませんでしたが、当時僕は「むじんくん」のウェブサイトの制作をしていました。この写真は、CHANTOSEI GALAXYで僕がウェブマスターをしていた時に、「むじんくん」のウェブサイト上に自社広告用に掲載していたものです。 You can see some of the old Mujinkun commercials here: 以前の「むじんくん」のコマーシャルをが見られます： http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v17812249Me9h4hzj |
