Dramatic Sony Cat

BRAVIA is an in-house brand owned by Sony which produces high-definition LCD televisions, projection TVs and front projectors, home cinemas and the “BRAVIA Home Theatre” range for its parent company Sony KK. The name is an acronym of “Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture”.

[Dramatic Cat] is a popular Internet comedy viral video, [based on the earlier Dramatic Chipmunk]. The audio used in Dramatic Chipmunk is taken from the score of the 1974 Mel Brooks film Young Frankenstein, which was composed by two-time Oscar nominee (and longtime Brooks collaborator) John Morris, and orchestrated by Morris and EGOT recipient Jonathan Tunick.

Kuro Kuro Neko

Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. (ヤマト運輸株式会社, Yamato Un’yu Kabushiki-gaisha) is Japan’s largest door-to-door delivery service company and a 100% owned subsidiary of Yamato Holdings Co., Ltd ( ヤマトホールディングス株式会社, Yamato Hōrudingusu Kabushiki-gaisha). Their head office is located in Ginza, Tokyo.

The company’s logo is a yellow oval with a black mother cat carrying her kitten in her mouth, symbolizing the company’s promise that they take care of items entrusted to them as though the items were their own family. The logo is as familiar in Japan as the Coca-Cola logo is in the United States.

Maruha Cat Food Sento

Sentō (銭湯, Sentō) is a type of Japanese communal bath house where customers pay for entrance. Traditionally these bath houses have been quite utilitarian, with one large room separating the sexes by a tall barrier, and on both sides, usually a minimum of lined up faucets and a single large bath for the already washed bathers to sit in among others. Since the second half of the 20th century, these communal bath houses have been decreasing in numbers as more and more Japanese residences now have bathrooms.

At the wall on the far end of the [bathing] room is usually a large picture for decoration. Most often this is Mt. Fuji … but it may be a general Japanese landscape, a (faux) European landscape, a river or ocean scene.
