I think I’ve posted a version of this video in the past, but this one has English and Japanese subtitles, if any of you are interested.
By the way, here’s a little note about Kumamoto dialect. In standard Japanese, “mono” (者) can mean “person” (as in “uchi no mono” – a person in our family, etc). In Kumamoto dialect, however, “mono” often becomes “mon,” as in わさもん (wasamon) – a person who likes new things. Thus, the name “Kumamon” also sounds like “person from Kumamoto” or perhaps “bear person.”
