The Squiggle Arashi Theory
Where do the souls of all good puppets go?
Into a human host is my theory; to guide their careers and and continue in the entertainment industry.
I'm guessing it takes around two months to get paperwork in order in the puppet spirit world.
Either that or it took Mr Squiggle two months to find a suitable host.
Mr. Squiggle was cancelled in July 1999.
It just so happens that the Japanese Idol band, Arashi debuted in September 1999.
Mr Squiggle could have been attracted to any Arashi member for any number of reasons (I don't blame him. I am too)
It is my theory that he was drawn to the similar features of the very nadegata of Sakurai Sho.
That elongated Squiggle neck must have been a chore to carry around for fourty years.
It appears that Mr. Squiggle was seeking a head planted very solidly on those sloping shoulders.
It didn't take long for Squiggle habits to manifest themselves in Sakurai Sho.
One of Mr. Squiggle's best friends was Bill, the Steam Shovel.
Just have a look at Sho's face when he caught sight of the snow shovel on D no Arashi.
Sho liked to draw pictures.
Mr. Squiggle liked to develop illegible scribbles into somewhat recognizable forms. Quite often ducks.
Their passion continued to develop together.
* note: They also shared a love of umbrellas...But we all know how dangerous those things can be.
Mr. Squiggle was an Aussie kid.
And, as the jingle goes, 'Aussie kids are Weet-Bix kids'.
Old habits die hard.
Very soon, the moon had a strange pull over Sakurai Sho.
The final piece of evidence among all the space themes arrived with The Digitalian live concert.
The costume inspired by The Master
Lastly, behind every great marionette, there is someone pulling the strings.
I wonder who that could be?
