Don't mess with Funassyi

This video was posted on twitter showing Funassyi displaying some karate skills.


Funanomics 3 released

Today is the official release day for the "Funanomics 3" DVD, although my pre order was posted on the 25th, and people in Japan received their pre order (?) copy on the 26th.

The bonus item for this DVD is a folded poster of Funassyi taken whilst filming for the DVD.

Poster found inside as the bonus item for pre-ordering? Source "funafunafunashi" on twitter

This DVD was filmed in Hokkaido in late 2015, and looks like it will be the usual fun Funassyi adventures.

I will have to wait for my copy to arrive, as it is being sent via SAL - so I could be waiting two to three weeks before I can enjoy Funassyi's latest DVD.

Funassyi interview

Original Tumblr post on mine: 10 June 2015: link

A video of an interview with Funassyi, posted on you tube on the 4th of March 2014

I have yet to ask my wife for a full translation, but at least we know Funassyi can jump at least 85cm off the ground.  I suspect he can go higher.



Squeeze n talk Funassyi

From the 16th of May 2015... this time an actual video I took and posted on youtube:


My wife also translated what Funassyi says for me into romaji and English:

1) Hyahha~! Funassyi nassyi~! Nashi jiru bushaa!    = Hyahha~! Funassyi nassyi~! Pear juice bushaa!

2) Ii koto wa, kimatte tsurai koto wo taeta toki ni kuru nassyi~! Hyahha~!
  = Good things always come after you underwent hard times nassyi~! Hyahha~!

3) Funa funa funassyi no shio higari, hyahha~!
  = Funa funa funassyi’s clam digging, hyahha~!

4) Gyo gyo gyo! Suizokukan ni kita nassyi! Ah, manbo ga iru nassyi~! Manbo!
  = Gyo gyo gyo! I am at an aquarium nassyi! Oh, there is a manbo (Ocean Sunfish) nassyi~! Manbo!

5) Kyo mo ichinichi otsukare sama nassyi~! Funassyi la la la la!
 = You must have had a long, exhausting day. Good work nassyi! Funassyi la la la la!

Funassyi "Call me maybe"

Again from a post I made on the 9th of May 2015, this time I posted a link to a you tube video of Funassyi dancing to the song "Call me maybe". Not only is it a video of Funassyi, but one he posted on you tube.


"Seeing Funassyi climb on to the desk cracks me up :-D"



Funassyi saved by boy

Another of my older posts from Tumblr (9th of May 2015). This one is of a video where a little boy needs Funassyi. This one also has subtitles in English.

From my original post: "This boy acts cool as if seeing Funassyi is an every day occurrence, but rushes to save him with jagalico (one of my favorites too). "


I still enjoy watching this video - it never gets old.

How Funassyi was born

Back on the 6th of May 2015 I made a post based on a video of Funassyi giving an interview on how he came in to existence, and this video had English subtitles.

I will more Funassyi videos would have English subtitles, as it would help spread his fame far and wide.

Funassyi takes a bath

A you tube video showing Funassyi taking a bath:


And Funassyi washes his No.1 Suit:



Funassyi's unoffical birthday

Posted on my Tumblr blog back on the 27th April 2015 (link):

"The way the date is written in Australia makes the 27th of April (today) a kind of unofficial birthday for Funassyi, as today is the 27 of the 4th, or 274.
So today in Australia we will be celebrating Funassyi’s birthday :-D
So, Otanjobi omedeto gozaimasu Funassyi-san!"

"ふなっしーの非公認誕生日
ここオーストラリアでは日付は「日・月・年」の順番で表記されるので、4月27日(本日)は27.4と表示されます。つまり、今日はふなっしーの非公認誕生日~♪
なので、今日オーストラリアでふなっしーの誕生日をお祝いしたいと思います(^o^)/
だから、ふなっしー、お誕生日おめでとう~!"





Officially Funassyi has his birthday on the 4th of July, but in his first ever twitter post he says  the 22nd of November is his birthday, which I will make a post on in this blog soon.

Blind taste test

I shared this video on my tumblr blog in mid 2015 (not certain on the date as Tumblr isn't showing dates).






Funassyi does a blind taste test and is asked to guess what he eats.

 He thinks maybe it is something like a pork dumpling, but is shocked to find out it is a Funassyi steamed bun instead. 

Funassyi goes wild claiming it is cannibalism and leaves saying it is cannibalism, but it was yummy.

The original video was posted on 22 October 2014.

Photos of my first Funassyi

Back in 2015 I posted some photos of my Funassyi doing a few things:

Funassyi with one of my favourite snacks

Mail order Funassyi

Originally posted on my Tumblr blog on 16th April 2015:

"My lovely wife just assisted me buying some Funassyi items through amazon.co.jp: I was able to pre-order the special edition DVD coming out in a few months, a talking Funassyi and a large Funassyi to keep the Funassyi I already have company :-D

I did want some other items, but thought I would only get a few for the moment.

My Mother in law in Yokosuka will be surprised when the parcel arrives to be sent to Australia."





To update the original post: The first image is the cover of the first Funassyi anime DVD, with the second photo showing the special edition case it came it.

The third photo is of the second Talking Funassyi that was released, and the forth photo is of another large pillow/cushion Funassyi.


Who is Funassyi?

Rather than re type who Funassyi is in my own words, or worst still, copy and past from another page, I am providing a link to the wiki entry for Funassyi for people to learn about Funassyi who have never seen the information.

On a side note, I was actually in Japan when Funassyi came in to existence back in November 2011.

Funassyi clears snow

Originally my first post on tumblr that wasn't a re-post from another blog dating back to the 15th of April 2015, this is a you tube video of a workman in Japan that takes his Funassyi to work with him.

It is also one my my favourites.

The first Funassyi to appear is the standard cushion type (the same type as my very first Funassyi given to me for Christmas 2014), and it is then swapped over to a "Sleeping bag" Funassyi.

This is a great fan video, and one that a) inspired my to get my own 'sleeping bag' Funassyi, and also to have some Funassyis from my collection do things too.



My original post can be seen here: tumblr

You can buy the Funassyi types shown in the video from various sources. The price will differ depending on where you buy it.

Amazon sells them, but the price will be higher. You can find them cheaper on Japanese web sites, but you might need help ordering if they don't support English.

Funassyi Pillow: strapya world   (although currently sold out)


Sleeping Bag Funassyi: Amazon


There is also another video of the same gentleman clearing snow posted four days before the above video, this time a variety of Funassyis appear - the sleeping bag Funassyi, the hand puppet and a smaller sized one often seen near the top of the window screen:


and finally, a you tube video from what appears to be a news report on the driver:


  

Welcome to the Aussie Nassyi blog

Welcome to my blog.



I originally started this blog on tumblr, but I find blogger easier to use, so I will be posting my old posts from my original blog to here as well as making new ones.

This is my original site, which will remain, but wont be updated: http://aussienassyi.tumblr.com/

Any post that is one from my old blog will be marked as such to avoid any confusion with any new posts I make.
