Kokiriko Bushi

[@MemoryAnemone]

the music track itself is an 8-bit cover of ''Don't you worry 'bout a thing'' by incognito, which is a cover of the song ''Don't you worry 'bout a thing'' by Stevie Wonder. but the vocals are the lyrics for the japanese folk song Kokiriko Bushi.

[@JustAPrayer]

After all these years this is still one of my favorite music videos

[@videochemist]

Same. So glad I saved it to a playlist and revisit every so often.

頭から中々消えない 名曲

[@zacreecobos5476]

I heard Stevie Wonder's song, "Don't You Worry Bout a Thing," today at work and it gave me an epiphany to finally find this song after about 6 years. Go listen to his song though, it's the same notes and everything!!!

[@tomatomtom4921]

i just heard "roy ayers ubiquity - don't worry about a thing" and damn, it def. has some similiar moments!

[@___xyz___]

@@tomatomtom4921 It's a pretty obvious reference yes

[@Karmara7]

I was searching frantically for this song today after hearing The stevie wonder song, specifically the descending vocal part. I never realized this was a cover and couldn't remember where I heard it. Thank god I found this song again I was going crazy.

[@joshualioi5144]

thx

[@perwiratempur]

This song was uploaded almost 8 years ago but it still sounds like it is from tomorrow!

[@Vinkie]

Still does ;)

[@rinasaltz2745]

confirming same here in 22

[@Croey]

Originally watched this when it came out in 2007. Have been looking for it ever since!

[@julienlabbit591]

Same. Took almost 13 years to find this again. Just found it today!

[@MrMooAndMoonSquirrelToo]

@@julienlabbit591 I got lucky and subscribed when I originally found the video in ‘07.

[@CrystalFissure]

Soichi Terada is a master of chords. Seriously.

[@neuromousey]

So much fun to listen to every now and again after discovering this as a kid. I hope this stays around forever!

[@OtaQ]

Found this song in the year 2007, still hear it once in a while

[@Pixoshiru]

Same here! :)

[@SephCat74]

me too! lol xD

[@OtaQ]

@@SephCat74 Aaaand here I am back again!!! 2021. Still love it!

[@verdugo_rip]

Same 🥲❤️

[@The_LadyAJ]

Its been for-freakin-ever since I've heard this song. I forgot how much I love it!

[@colinbuddz3542]

i know how you feel, its so hard trying to remember the name of a song in a foreign language that you havent heard in years.!!!

[@inthefade]

+Abbles_Of_Lorule Very weird that I stumbled upon this while searching for information about a Japanese wood instrument, hadn't heard it since when it was first posted in 2007... But wow, it still holds up. Great song.

民謡、FC音源、四つ打ち、ノンジャンルすぎる笑

[@辻斬り次朗]

アカマピチトリ こういうのがもっと流行って欲しいと思ってる。ただこのmv(?)はちょっと意味がわからない、です。

[@SakuraElyse]

Its a Japanese folk song. Don't ask me to translate, I'm tired. Kokiriko no take wa shichisun-gobuja Nagai wa sodeno kanakai ja Mado no sansa wa dederekoden Hare no sa sa mo dederekoden Mukai no yama o mazuko to sureba Ninawa ga kirete kajukaren Mado no sansa wa dederekoden Hare no sa sa mo dederekoden

[@Beunibster]

Still awesome, still my ringtone.

[@Beunibster]

Ha! I have the same starting point, but I end at 00:47

[@DanielFavio]

This is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen. I cant begin to describe why it is so cool because I would be up all night analyzing cartoon + video game music + plus eyball claymation + random lightning strikes = awesome

[@dawellfunk]

Nice! I just heard Stevie Wonders song and realized how much these sounded alike, and had to check it out. It's cool to find that other peeps knows more of this!

[@yukita42]

良いですねえ。これ〜〜。

[@Tigerman9001]

I have no idea how I got here, but I am going to stay.

[@ivanbraidi]

This is too good on so many levels, I can't.

[@Iife]

thx mr skeltal

[@magmadude35]

I put this in my favorites 5 years ago... I'm absolutely elated that it's still here :)

[@EclipsionTrite]

A friend showed me this back in 2007 when it was uploaded. Still so good even all these years later.

[@m.7741]

these comments are all so old.. i only found out about this artist today. anyone else listening to them these days?

[@deathsparkle]

This quite possibly the best video of anything, ever.

[@CrystalFissure]

@161194 No you don't, mate. You don't need drugs to enjoy Soichi's amazing sounds.

[@tuckandstone]

わお！8-bitミュージックはじめて聞きましたが、おしゃれでかっこいいですね。不思議なアニメーションも強烈なインパクトで、この世界観にすっかり魅了されました。制作された方々のセンスに脱帽です。チャンネル登録させてもらいましたので、これからもいろんなPV見せてください！

[@no1caresanymore]

I remember when I was in middle school and I stumbled across this by chance, all I thought was "Heheh they're NAKED", but now I actually appreciate everything about this.

[@ralphbluecoat]

chiptune music is so great.. its so simple in its sound, nothing special about it, which leaves it up to the music to make the piece satisfying. Its such a challenge to make it sound creative, with only four tracks (usually) The low bass and the vocals sound great! And for those of you who find this annoying, well, this music grows on you.

[@ferricbro7847]

Just give 'em one of these. /song plays

[@saladbattery]

I came here expecting to find a traditional japanese min'yo song. I'm really confused as to what am watching.

[@zippyholland3001]

It's 2020. This song is still from the future.

[@formula1fan07]

that is the sickest, most original thing I have seen all year!

[@Sadoos]

almost six years and I still can't believe how amazing this is :D

[@PaladineSkyBlade]

Basically, the artist is omodaka. The song title is kokoriko bushi. Kokoriko bushi is originally a folk song(I think) Omodaka mixed it up and the result is this song you hear here.

[@navieight]

no matter how many times i find this enjoying.

[@thebluefirebean]

dude, this is one of my favorite videos now. its f**king awesome

[@shotamerican]

i keep coming back to this song every now and then. i listen to it while i am getting ready to go out. hehe

[@pineapplerando]

Thank you for the connection. It helped me out a lot!

[@Trabbbi]

This is probably the best video ever made!

[@EJ-uk3eg]

Still goes crazy after all this time

[@phisaki]

awesome song. Can't wait to see this group when they come to NYC!

[@solventstudios]

This is a BRILLIANT ANIMTION!!! I love the gameboy remix style music. lol, definatly one of my favorite videos on youtube.

[@midgetsbatheme]

love it... big fan of 8-bit music and 8bitpeoples... and i'm digging the tune...

[@Clanmemberkalvin]

5 years later, this is still my favorite music video of all times.

[@conn3r]

This is some fantastic 8bit music.

[@krisimpossible]

Major props to the mixed media vid, gotta love the 8-bit sound!

[@gioscolase]

Omodaka's 21st-century disco version of Kokiriko Bushi - an ancient folk song that Gokayama (Toyama prefecture) villagers used to perform for the local Shinto deities - combines synthesized vocals with a Stevie Wonder-ish bassline and '80s video game chiptune sounds. Happy now?

[@alienguardian]

I'm getting severely sick of everyone who compare this to a drug trip. This is pure surrealism, and an excellent animation.

[@lolyootubelol]

the symmetrical shaving cream spray is such a kool idea. i would have never thought of something like that.

[@Tigresspink]

Can't....stop....watching....this...vid. 20th time...still staring.

[@music4u114]

sooo amazing. best video and song I've watched in a while.

i love it how the skull is moved by the hand

[@FXerGerFra]

Waoooow I'm impressed nice assembly and image building and cool funky music too has something special against the Mainstream i love that fav and 5Stars ;).

[@sausillio]

You never thought for just a second that they're actually just creative?

[@PaladineSkyBlade]

the artist name is omodaka, the song title is kokoriko bushi. This is a mix of a folk song(I think) by the same title.

[@ささきあきと-n5k]

こ、これが13年前の曲…？ 神じゃん…

n1! enjoyed both song and video ;) 5 stars

[@quantumplation]

This is an incredibly curious spectacle. It makes me feel very certain, sort of a cold displacement from things, and I love that. Botht he music and the visuals, but especially combined.

[@drywall15]

Nice 8-Bit Electro Funk thing you've got going on here, absolutely love this track

[@Zest0]

hahhah Indeed one of the best and coolest vid i've seen in a long time :D

[@UndergroundInsomniac]

I think its pretty cool how the hand does slight movements and the skeleton reacts accordingly.

Very nice!!! Congratulations!!! number nine... number nine...

[@darklady357]

I really like this music vid! Very interesting with the hands and skeleton...wish I could think of something like that.

[@ReddCharlie]

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!! I'm glad to know that at least I got that it was Stevie Wonder...but that doesn't narrow it down a long songwise!! I'm OCD enough as it is w/o trying to place random samples I hear!

[@BeThUkE]

I never heard a song that was so different and so good at the same time,and the video is just so cool.

[@snager80]

god i love this thing! i should wade through my faves more often. first time i saw this, i watched it over and over again, every day, 10 times a day for about a week. then i lost it. but then i found it again! * hugs it*

[@kenwoods29]

great, cool one. unexpected mixture between old and new. (including Stevie's) and it has cynical view, i love it.

[@grantegoto]

This IS THE SO AWESOMO!!!!AWESOMO idea! AWESOMO music! and AWESOMO Animating!!! 5 Stars and FAVORITE!

[@Tigresspink]

Incredible! Truly original, something of real artwork! Using midi music is something out of the oridinary nowadays.
