Yes we can coffee!

President Barack Obama likes to say, "Yes we can," a simple message that inspired people the world over. This little phrase has captured hearts in Japan, as well, as in comedian , a wealth of merchandise or McDonald's giving away Obama Tours.

Now, it is a slogan for the Kiosk stands in Tokyo's railway stations. The text reads, "Yes we kan," kan meaning "canned" in Japanese. Yes we can drink canned coffee!

I like the addition of the cheer girl there, too. Very all-American goodness. ... Maybe this "Obama fever" has gone a bit too far after all...
