But this part of the mail was even more interesting.

*Episode 90 title: "JOHHNYS' World, together with Tackey on the New Year" large naked anatomy Special!
*Special guests: Hideaki Takizawa etc.

LARGE NAKED ANATOMY SPECIAL????

Uhm...
I recall Takki and Yuma being there. And Takki's checked pants. But nobody being naked. Hmmmm...............

actually, your Sunday sounds more exciting than mine x'D Which is not so difficult, but yeah ... x'D

But I really should read the newsletter a bit more closely, because LOLs x'D

I totally did not read the newsletter attentively enough. *g* I find it strangely fitting for JE, though. Oh, Johnny, never change.

I'm pretty sure they mean its a festival giving thanks for the success of johnnys world. Japan does HAVE a Thanksgiving in November but its really a non-event and just an excuse to get off work. They don't really have any concept of what it means in western countries. Anything can technically be a 感謝祭 if you're thankful and wanna throw a party.

I see. "If we want to throw a party, we'll find an occasion too" <-- something like this?

I agree with silvertsubasa. It is Johnny-san's personal "Thanksgiving".

In France, we have no "thanksgiving", but in the US it is a big holiday, held oddly on the last Thursday of November. It is supposed to recall the first settlers gratefulness [for Indian's gifts and their harvest]. I only know of Canada as having a similar celebration.
