Description
We're in Harajuku, Japan's capital of cuteness, to meet Joshua Paul Dale, a professor in Cuteness Studies and a leading authority on everything cute.

Joshua assures us this reaction is completely normal. He breaks down what happens in our brains when we see something cute, how it charms us, and its influence on our everyday lives.
