I think the pronunciation guide is incorrect. I think arare should be (ah-rah-reh) and that kakimochi should be (kah-kee-moh-chee). Just my opinion.

Aloha, Dale - Good call.. Thanks for the correction. It's a little too late for me to edit this webpage, but if & when I reprint all of these gags (I'm thinking of putting all of these into 1 big collection) I will revise it. Numerous people have informed me of the correct names of the arare: Norimaki, Sakura, Kakidani, Yakko, and Goma... Thanks for all of your input! Ja! -jon j.
