Rated G Tanuki Buttons: This Unbelievable Story Will Blow Your Mind! (Ep. 73.5)

Here is it already April first and the cherry blossoms are blooming and spring is in the air. I think today is a good day to tell you a story I've been wanting to share for awhile now. Remember last episode when I talked about the tanuki? Well, keep all that in mind when you listen to today's episode. Things are going to get weird.

This version is safe for 8 year olds and grandmothers.
