UrumaDelvi
I've recently been finding it very difficult to sleep. But last night, I was able to catch a program on NHK which featured different topics regarding pop culture. That evening's topic was UrumaDelvi animations. They interviewed Uruma and Delvi, a husband and wife who have gained a lot of popularity and recognition around the world for their animations which never fail to appeal to both kids and adults. Watching a couple of sample animations that they finished, I was amused with how they combined very simple but brightly-colored characters with a storyline driven and accompanied mostly by catchy music.
The latest animation UrumaDelvi finished has become very popular among kids and adults in Japan-- "Ushiri Kajiri Mushi". The theme song of this character sticks to your head, makes it difficult to forget. (Kinda reminds me of the novelty songs over here... except the novelty songs are ten times annoying). Anyway, this character is a bug/fairy who bites (the bottoms) of people who are unhappy. And needless to say, the person becomes happy after being bitten. Just so you can see what Ushiri Kajiri Mushi looks like, here's the website.
Aside from the animations they had finished, they also showed a computer program they were developing. A very interesting one, at that! It's an animation program that's very simple, I'd say anyone can make an actual animated short story. Check out the demo !
