Green Leaved Man-Love

I find the following hard to describe. And on a blog dealing with weird Japanese stuff, that’s saying something.

Here in Germany, we sometimes have nonsensical pop phenomena. Like Big Brother, the Mini Playback Show, or Tamagotchis.

Oh, wait.

Anyway. Sometimes, a band doing something silly or nonsensical strikes a chord with the people. And when that happens in Japan, the results are… well. What’s the progression from “nonsensical”? Let’s cut the chatter short, you really got to see this one for yourself.

They’d sure make good icons for the gay scene. If you want to treat your co-workers to a special treat, trying singing the song for them in English.

    While it is crazy and nonsensical…..well, quite frankly it was suppose to be that way. That “band” was nothing more then a group of comedians that originally performed the song as a sketch to make fun of boy bands and the economic/political situation that was taking place at the time.

    Nonetheless, it is still a very amusing video.
