It likes music. It can express its feeling with glowing eyes behind the facial surface. It comes in a box that mimicks iPod’s.

This is a word that’s used differently in korea. Daikon means raddish in japanese- literally it means big root. In korean, raddish is called ‘mu-u’. Unfortunately the word daikon is written with the same chinese characters as my fathers name -_-; i dont know if i should make a joke out of it or not now that there’s a character series..
