At one point this morning, while watching the footage in horror, I actually had the thought "I wonder if Maru and his owner are okay."

I don't know anyone personally who is in Japan so wondering about internet personalities or people I know of through other media is pretty normal I think.

This is so cute! And wise. I love what she said about doing something that's special. This is something I keep thinking to myself that I need to find something that is special or fulfilling for me to do with my life, married or not.

I also don't get why the commenter above thought her mom must be angry. Maybe i'm hearing it differently. One of my nieces was this opinionated about other things and did NOT hear any of what she said from her parents or those around her. It's not been crammed down her throat (nor would I think it has been for the girl in the video).

This is cool. I never use the actual google website (have the search bar instead) so I never know about these unless someone (like you) point them out.
