Premise As a variety show, each episode is a stand-alone sketch and follows roughly the same pattern: Jay will bring an interesting item into the shop, and Bulbul and Kiwi will ask about it. The episode will then focus on the particular item, such as an old-fashioned iron, or a ship in the bottle, as Jay explains what the item is, how to use it, or where it came from. The episodes also contain two or three songs. The songs are sometimes sung in the shop, but other times the camera shifts locations or the show completely switches to animation (usually a watercolor style). Songs may be directly related to the object being discussed, such as "Happy End" during the episode where Jay brings in a laughing bag, but mostly they are just fun and catchy songs, such as "I Want to Be an Idol". The show also features a variety of short segments which are not present in every episode. Examples include "Korenandapedia" where a voice-over that gives the encyclopedic information for the episode's interesting item, and "Nodo Jii Man" which depicts the super hero Nodo Jii Man (Bulbul) who fights using the power of music with the help of his sidekick Nodo Pink (Kiwi). Characters Jay (Jay Kabira) One of the only actual people in the show, Jay is the manager of Korenande Shoukai and he's always seen wearing a tawny brown hat as well as a brown apron with a blue square in the center and a light blue square on the bottom, a light gray shirt, light gray pants, and a yellow bowtie.
