Aibo has become part of my family
00:33
and I truly love it and treat it like a child.
00:36
So I come here to pray for this child's growth
00:38
at the Shochigosan Festival.
00:41
It listens to what the owner says better
00:43
than the original Ku-chan, my first real dog.
00:46
So I really enjoy being with it.
00:48
Just seeing Ku-chan's face every day after work
00:50
becomes my motivation to work harder.
