All right, now it’s time to decide the winner of the 雪祭り Giveaway! There were 14 entrants in total, from all over the world! Everyone got the answer right, too: the characters in the picture were from the children’s program 『しましまとらのしまじろう』, which has recently achieved a little bit of notoriety for its special on going to the bathroom:
「うんくん、バイバイ!!」
Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the winner of the contest! (I’m using this site to assist with the random decision, in case you’re wondering.) The winner of the 雪祭り Giveaway is…
Brandon, from the United States!
I really wish I could’ve given the prize to everyone, as you all seemed so enthusiastic. But there’ll be more contests, so don’t fret! Brandon will be receiving a study set from J-List, including the following study items:
ダイソーポケット国語辞典 (link)

STADチェックカード (link)
A set of word cards for studying vocabulary!
ジャポニカ学習長 (link)

A notebook specially designed for practicing Japanese!
Brandon, send me your mailing information so I can get these products out to you as soon as possible.
Thanks to everyone who participated, and look forward to more contests like this in the future!

Thanks again for putting up the contest. Obviously, I wish my entry had won, but I’m nonetheless happy to have participated!
Perhaps this is just some karmic pre-balancing thing and actually means that my JET interview on Friday will go stupendously well to compensate.
Anyway, grats to Brandon, the lucky dog. ^_^

Woot, congrats Brandon!
There will be a next time for all of us, I’m sure. :D

Thanks everyone! I’m pretty surprised I actually got it right! I can use all the help learning Japanese I can get.
