Adorable Japanese Ukuleleing

The Ukulele is an oft lampooned member of the strings, but there is a certain inherent cuteness that seems to come along with that miniature instrument. Maybe it’s just that the size makes it accessible to little ppl, and of course sock puppets. Again, the Japanese have taken Kawaii to the next level in this arena. Submitted as evidence are the following videos.
Exhibit A is Ukulele duo U900. Though you can’t go wrong with a bear and bunny on a beach, really.
Exhibit B is an astonishingly talented five-year old boy. That’s right, five. And he’s playing the Beatles. Here’s “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”
Although his rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is more technically impressive, there is something about his stage presence in the first entry that screams Kawaii
