Seeing this beautyful girl, I guess most of Japanese boys prefer to say" woaw"!...Ü
I have RSS feed to 3 of your blogs and enjoy them very much. This particular post about Sara-Sara is more meaningful because it reminds me of my mother, born and raised in Osaka. She used to play with her granddaughter - my daughter - Sara, by repeatedly saying her name. Now I know of a reason she may have enjoyed saying it so much! Thank you for your post.
Malyss, She is Ai Kato.
MoCoSci, Thanks for your comment!!

This is the summer I should return to Japan then! I understood that Sara-sara was the sound of a stream flowing in the springtime, is that right?
Saretta, there is no snow in river in spring.
So water flow smoothly.
