Do the Pet Shop Monogatari dance


In addition to echoing Cooking Mama's art style, Pet Shop Monogatari also relies on the same spokesperson Taito used for the Japanese release of Cooking Mama 2: Shizuyo Yamasaki, or Shizu-chan. For the Pet Shop Monogatari ad campaign, she's joined by Ryouta Yamasato (Yama-chan), her partner in the "Nankai Candies" comedy team.

The two, with Yamasato be-dog-suited and Shizu-chan dressed in the garb of the game's pet shop proprietress, star in a cute demonstration video of Monogatari's gameplay. In the other two videos found in the official Pet Shop Monogatari site's Gallery area (look for their smiling faces!), the team performs a Pet Shop Monogatari-themed song and dance (to the tune of "Camptown Races").

In case you're like us and tempted to sing and dance along to the "Wan Nyan Buu Taisou" ("Woof Meow Oink Exercise"), we've transcribed and translated the lyrics after the break.

Machi no petto-ya-san, wan wan, nyan nyan
(Town pet shop owner, woof woof, meow meow)

Minna ni sampo, wan, nyan, go!
(Walk everyone, woof, meow, go!)

Shampoo de kirei kirei
(Get clean, clean with shampoo)

Gohan wo tabemashou, wan, nyan, buu!
(Let's eat, woof, meow, oink!)
