Ho Ho Ho! Christmas is upon us and jingle bells are spreading happiness
with their soothing sound of joy all over the world. To foster the
spirit of Christmas a British man is spreading cheers in the
world’s
most technologically advanced city Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
The name whose name is Joseph Tame, who is originally
from Britain and an inventor and owner of a video production and
digital media in Tokyo, has built his own version of ‘Running Christmas Tree’
which is basically a costume from scratch using an aluminium frame, two
rucksacks, branches from two fake Christmas trees, 99 batteries, 1,500
LED lights and about 100 feet of wiring. He even made a video of his
invention and posted in on YouTube which shows the awe and reactions of
the people when he passes by them giving high fives and running down the
streets of Tokyo.
He told CNN,
“The reactions range from sudden burst of laughter to a couple of
people have screamed in surprise and delight. A lot of people just say,
‘What? What? What are you doing?’ and I tell them that I am the Christmas tree.” He
expressed that he is looking for making personal appearances in his
Christmas suit which he is marketing as, ‘Uber for Illuminations.’ He
further said that fans will soon be able to book his appearances using
an app which is under development.
“One of the
main things is to break the social barriers. Tokyo is a great city but
people keep to themselves. It brings people to get close together. On
the train, it’s just wonderful. Everybody is just transfixed,” Tame said.
He will be out on the day of Christmas to spread the cheers as far as possible and to as many as possible. “Most
people are working on Christmas Day in Japan but hopefully with the
costume they can also see a bit of Christmas on the day,” he said happily.
