Peanuts in Japan

Hello. Today I talk about two activities or events of Peanuts in Japan.The Peanuts characters have been licenced to Universal Studios Japan. Peanuts products in Japan has been licensed by Sanrio, best known for Hello Kitty.

Snoopy Studios in Universal Studios Japan      

 Snoopy Studios have Snoopy's Great Race,Peppermint Patty's Stunt Slide,The Flying Snoopy. Americans, especially  who came from Southern California would most likely be surprised, since Snoopy is associated with another theme park near Disneyland, but not Universal Studio Hollywood. Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Lucy can be seen walking the streets as kids and adults rush to them to have their pictures taken.
