The commercial is also floating around the Internet as an mp3 - you miss out on the rockets bursting out of the cat's head but still enjoy the pure satisfaction of bizarre Japanese voice actors. Actually one of the more popular bits of Internet flotsom in my dorm - some sick people even found Chu-Chu Rocket wallpaper.

So you know what's going to be running through your head like tweaker ferrets for the next few days (it's a rather successful earworm), the lines translate roughly like this...

Chu-chu Rocket
Save the mice
Chu-chu Rocket
The cat's scary
Chu-chu Rocket
The Rocket's cool
So hi-i-i-i-gh!

So now you know. And knowing's half the battle.
