"When you think about a circle, think about Maru all rolled up in a little circle, being super adorable. Don't tell me it doesn't melt your heart just thinking about it."
"Obviously if you "don't know this reading" well enough, you should watch some more Maru videos. I'll understand... just make sure you come back someday, okay?"
"Alternatively, you could also look at this kanji and think of Maru inside of a box, with his little tail sticking out of it. Whatever works best for you, just get yourself to "Maru.""
I love watching these old clips of Maru. Now, in 2021, he's an elderly gentleman now and barely does any of these sliding-into-box tricks anymore. He's totally zen and only displays his Maru-ness through sitting in boxes, squashing boxes, and swishing his tail. Maru in all forms is lovable Maru.
I 'lost' my Maru watching habit many years ago and am glad to subscribe and add the fine gentleman to my YT collection now. I am soooo glad to see he still prefers the hand-made entertainers and not store-boughts.
He is. Maru brings honor to Japan in his role as a good will ambassador. He is so beloved that he holds the worlds record for being the most viewed animal on RU-vid. Known and beloved throughout the world, Maru unites people throughout the world as they come to share their time engaged in Maru’s charm, wit and unique sense of adventure. Oftentimes we share our comments about this truly remarkable and extremely lovable feline.
there's actually a kanji learning site that teaches you the reading for round by linking you to this video (if you see comments saying "i'm here from wanikani" that's the site)
Thank you for sharing Maru with the world. He has given me happiness for years. Hana is a great addition and they look like they are great friends. Peace be with you!
