Ana and the Snow Queen

One girl just calls me Elsa...

With french-braided hair,
Some say I look like Elsa.
But not really, no.

A common question:
Is Ana in your country?
Well, it is Disney...

The real question is:
Where haven't I encountered
this new Frozen craze?

At the Obon Festival:
     One ambitious group
     paraded as the whole cast.
     (Yes, that includes Sven!)

In Nayoro:
     Four young girls on bikes
     stop to say 'hi' and tell me,
     "You look like Elsa!"

In the second-hand store:
     Anna and Hans dance
     to "Love is an Open Door"
     across an old screen.

In the supermarket:
     Hidden speakers play
     "Let It Go" relentlessly
     above the cheeses.

In the teachers' room:
     In from the hallway
     drifts "Ari no mama de"
     sung by young voices.

At the school arts festival:
     The school culture club
     goes beyond Japanese crafts
     with Frozen medley.

I hope you like it,
'cause no matter where you go,
you can't escape it!
