On Japan’s Side

November 25th, 2008

Guess what’s the number 1 MTV download in ITMS this week?

ニホンノミカタ by 矢島美容室. Nihon no Mikata (On Japan’s Side) by Yazima Biyoushitsu (Yazima Beauty Salon).

hmm… all is not what it seems.

A sing-along live performance. I must admit, the tune is rather catchy and I like the coarse funky voices.

In case you’re wondering, the music is by DJ Ozma. The guy who brought us “One Night Carnival” (おれんとここないか)

and “アゲ♂アゲ♂EVERY☆騎士”… It’s a pun on the word 騎士, which means knight… but sounds like night. So… a very rough translation would be [UP UP every "night"]. Come on, you know what that means. haha.

He was in hot soup two years ago after the annual red white NHK new year show. What did he do? He had his dancers “strip” during the live performance. ^^. The MCs had to apologize after because many people (I’m not one of them) called in to complain.

They were using body suits for crying out loud! … rather realistic looking ones. ^^.
