Evil Hides In A Darling Disguise
As with most children's songs, this one possessed a sinister undertone that was shockingly obvious in hindsight.
"Evil hides in a darling disguise."
We all learned that mantra to be true. The Japanese had flooded our airwaves and toy stores with the cloyingly cute Kuchiwon, fluffy characters we thought to be mostly harmless. We’d already lived through the Pokemon, Hello Kitty, and Dijimon phenomena after all.
The Kuchiwon were different. One night, they suddenly came to life and started killing everyone in a most brutal manner.
Perhaps we should have taken heed when the theme song was translated into English.
