I still love Funassyi!
Hi there! Busyness elsewhere, plus nagging Tumblr problems, have made me neglect this site. That doesn’t mean I’ve lost interest in the Pear though! I still post about him from time to time in the We Love Funassyi Facebook Group, which is the best place to find me as well as other Funassyi fans, or nashitomo, who speak English. I hope to see you there!
Funassyi made his annual appearance as Funa Santa on Tuesday, making a surprise visit with Aicchy, Funagoro and Funyassyi at the Sakura Daycare Center in Funabashi. The Pear family distributed early Christmas presents to the children. In this TV news report (alternate link), the kids seem happy, excited and also slightly stunned. ^_^ Later on, Funassyi also made a surprise visit to Funassyiland Funabashi. I’m seriously considering moving to Funabashi…

These are appearances by Funagoro and Funyassyi only. Since there are Funagoro and Funyassyi fans too, I’ve listed all of their appearances here, so some may duplicate the listings above.

Products of note, plus shopping advice
At this point many of the new and cool Funassyi products are available exclusively at the Funassyiland stores, with the exception of books, calendars etc. Which is good I guess if you live in Japan, since it’s one-stop shopping, but somewhat inconvenient for overseas Funassyi fans, since Funassyiland does not ship overseas. If you don’t have a cooperative friend in Japan, I recommend using a shopping service.
New products go on sale on the online store on Saturdays at 10PM Japan time. Popular products sell out almost immediately (something a lot of fans are unhappy about at the moment. I hope this situation gets solved soon!)
Grey Parka Service has announced a 120cm tall Funassyi, retailing for 41,000 yen including tax. The first two phases have sold out. The third phases is currently available on the Grey Parka Service site (it’s sold out on the Funassyiland site). Follow Grey Parka Service on Twitter for announcements regarding future releases.

274ch.com
274ch.com, Funassyi’s official streaming video channel/fan club, is the main outlet for Funassyi’s video appearances. Videos are uploaded every couple of days, and are very funny, with Funassyi appearing far more loose and relaxed than he is on broadcast TV. Highlights include a cooking show, Funassyi imitating various Japanese entertainers (his imitation of Beat Takeshi aka Takeshi Kitano is priceless), Funassyi going camping, Funassyi going go-cart racing, and much more. There are also frequent live streams of The Pear doing interviews and so on.
There are also fan-exclusive meets with Funassyi, and fan-exclusive concerts too, for an extra fee.
Membership is 600 yen per month or 6,000 yen per year. You can now join from outside of Japan too, although the site is in Japanese only (and so is customer support and so on). Details here. You will most likely need a Japanese mailing address to receive materials from the site for now.
Note: Sometimes someone at the streaming video provider seems to turn on IP checking/blocking of non-Japanese IPs. If you can’t access the videos, just wait a few hours and it will usually get fixed.

Last but not least…
I know the updates here have less frequent of late. I will try to update here as regularly as I can, but if you are on Facebook please join the We Love Funassyi group, which is quite active, with many enthusiastic Funatomo. See you there!

Funassyi appeared at a press event yesterday to promote the opening of Little Planet, an interactive science museum/indoor theme park for kids. It is located in the Lalaport Tachikawa Tachihi shopping mall, just off the Tachihi Station on the Tama Monorail in Tachikawa, Tokyo. Here is Funassyi playing with the AR Sand Party!, an augmented reality terraforming sand pit.

Catching new Funassyi videos can be hard work if you don’t live in Japan, and you haven’t sprung for a 274ch membership. There is one place where you can watch Funassyi being his crazy-Pear self for free though. The 360TV site, which broadcasts “360 degree VR” shows, has excerpts from Funassyi’s 274ch Funa’s Kitchen cooking (well, sort of cooking) show. Unlike many other online Japanese video channels (such as Niconico Douga, which has a new Funagoro-Funyassyi channel that is unfortunately restricted to Japan only), 360TV does not have any geo-restrictions, so you should be able to watch with no problems. You can click and grab the screen to rotate your view and see Funassyi from all angles. Watching Funassyi chop vegetables at breakneck speed is quite terrifying.

- December 31 The Misato station has been re-done in a Funassyi theme. In addition, in-station announcements are in Funassyi’s voice. Funassyi livery trains also has Funassyi-voice announcements during this period.
Products of note
At this point many of the new and cool Funassyi products are available exclusively at the Funassyiland stores, with the exception of books, calendars etc. Which is good I guess if you live in Japan, since it’s one-stop shopping, but somewhat inconvenient for overseas Funassyi fans, since Funassyiland does not ship overseas. If you don’t have a cooperative friend in Japan, I recommend using a shopping service.
Available now : Minna de Aemen Funassyi themed noodles from Yamasa

274ch.com
274ch.com, Funassyi’s official streaming video channel/fan club, is the main outlet for Funassyi’s video appearances. Videos are uploaded every couple of days, and are very funny, with Funassyi appearing far more loose and relaxed than he is on broadcast TV. Highlights include a cooking show, Funassyi imitating various Japanese entertainers (his imitation of Beat Takeshi aka Takeshi Kitano is priceless), Funassyi going camping, Funassyi going go-cart racing, and much more. There are also frequent live streams of The Pear doing interviews and so on.
There are also fan-exclusive meets with Funassyi, and fan-exclusive concerts too, such as the upcoming Zetsu Bushaa Tour (see schedule above).
Membership is 600 yen per month or 6,000 yen per year. You can now join from outside of Japan too, although the site is in Japanese only (and so is customer support and so on). Details here. You will most likely need a Japanese mailing address to receive materials from the site for now.
Note: Sometimes someone at the streaming video provider seems to turn on IP checking/blocking of non-Japanese IPs. If you can’t access the videos, just wait a few hours and it will usually get fixed.

Last but not least…
I know the updates here have less frequent of late. I have some serious health problems which make it hard to sit at my desk for extended periods - and I find it very hard to update Tumblr via my phone. I will try to update here as regularly as I can, but if you are on Facebook please join the We Love Funassyi group, which is quite active, with many enthusiastic Funatomo. See you there!
