Yatta
I get emailed this video almost every day. If I had a nickle for every time I've seen naked asian men dancing in my inbox I'd be able to take the ads off this site. People seem to love this stuff. I mean just look at their adoring fans in the audience.

ReplyDeletewhat were they spelling??
ReplyDeleteI think they added an extra L to Green
ReplyDeleteI love the cheering old lady at 0:10. :D
ReplyDeleteWasn't this used in an old animutation flash video back in the day?
We are za warudo! Thanks for making me look like a weirdo in my campus library.
ReplyDeleteThere is not an extra L hahahaa......they are speeling GREEN L
ReplyDeletemeans Green Leaves =)
i love this guys...hahahha
I think they're trying to spell green leaf (the l is short for leaf, I guess) that covers their thing.
ReplyDeleteThis video is where my love for wtfing Japan is from.
ReplyDeletethey are like a japanese village people...
ReplyDeleteYMCA?!
ReplyDeleteAll i can say is a hole Yatta W.T.F.!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's apparently a parody of boy bands o_O.

Yeah haha this isn't for real - it's a total comedic parody in Japan. "Green Leaves" isn't a real 'band,' it's a collection of Japanese comedians and actors who got together to make fun of Japanese boy bands.
ReplyDeleteBasically, "YATTA!" is to Japan as "I'm On A Boat" is to America - a comic parody of another musical genre. :) Still funny and weird as hell, tho.
Lol to the old lady at 2:48
ReplyDeleteWell... It's Catchy I'll give it that.
ReplyDeletegood thing they have leaves and unerware.
ReplyDeleteI made finding this video part of a scavenger hunt. Scarred some of my students for life.
ReplyDeleteto be honest its a nice catchy song lol
ReplyDeleteJay I really appreciate your comments that help us understand what's happening. Is it the japanese being the japanese, in that wonderful wacky way they do it, or is it the japanese doing satire on their own wtf-ery. I can't separate the parody from the profundity without an interpreter. It doesn't seem right to ask a culturally japanese person to sort this out for us while we essentially mock their homeland.
ReplyDeleteThis video is a lot better with English subtitles. It's amazing.
ReplyDeletehow about taking off thier undies???

ReplyDeleteYou're telling me Yatta is the equivalent to The Lonely Island?
And this whole time I thought they were just being gay for gay's sake.
Question: Is this the Japanese version of The Wiggles? Cuz....I think it might be.
