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.

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

[@Vinkie]

Still does ;)

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

[@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.

Same here! :)

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.

thx mr skeltal

[@neuromousey]

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

[@m.7741]

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

[@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?

[@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!

[@Tigerman9001]

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

この曲のライブ映像を見て衝撃受けました

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

[@CrystalFissure]

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

[@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

[@ferricbro7847]

Just give 'em one of these. /song plays

[@EclipsionTrite]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 ;).

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

[@buddhapotpie]

This has been my morning wake up jam for almost 6 months now-

[@ivanbraidi]

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

[@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.

[@SakuraElyse]

Its a Japanese folk song. Don't ask me to translate, I'm tired.

Still goes crazy after all this time

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

[@clivesinclair]

veramente molto bello ! bravissimi ! musica perfetta ! video perfetto ! molto alternativo originale e strano.

This quite possibly the best video of anything, ever.

[@channeIreview]

[@pineapplerando]

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

[@lolyootubelol]

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

[@phisaki]

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

[@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

[@ladypodtron]

I like this too! A portion of the music is taken from the Stevie Wonder song "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing"

[@PaladineSkyBlade]

That's because kokoriko bushi is an old folk song or something, but it's definitely old. Omodaka's take is a mix of sorts.

[@stretta]

I bought both. The original seems to stick more closely to the 8-bit sound, and the video remix uses some nice sampled drums. I prefer the sound of the remix to the original, but I appreciate the original for purity of the 8-bit instrumentation. Still would like to hear an uncompressed version. Can't get the CD in the US.

[@Qbus89]

n1! enjoyed both song and video ;) 5 stars

[@spankazoid]

this is so great, well done u crazy people.

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

[@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!

[@kenwoods29]

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

[@songOmatic]

Chotto hen na... Sugoi. Sounds bring me back to the old 8-bit days.

this makes me think of the old days with the good old gameboy :) great video though i get a headache of it

[@camiloperezmercado3e152]

I heard the name of this song by K on and I was curious to look for it

[@NestlaysChaulkolateChips]

The song is actually a techno remix of an old folk song called kokiriko boshi.

[@SonnyClem4]

Interesting, must I say. Very original.

[@formula1fan07]

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

frickin fantastic really! Huge applause! You got skill to create this. Tight music and marionette skills! PEACE!

[@EmberGyaru]

Just freakin' awesome! All of it. Ridiculously funny and ingenious!

[@Meteotrance]

nice thing, he mix stevy wonder with traditional Enka song and chiptune brilliant ^^ !!!

[@lonesn1per]

"Elsewhere, aka David Bernal" the dancing looks like his same exact movements! i bet they motion captured him!

[@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.

[@NicklesKnuckles]

Yeah I reckon! Saw Omodaka live last month in Tokyo, so amazing to watch the genius live.

[@Chatgptdnd]

pretty deep, really interesting idea

[@UndergroundInsomniac]

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

[@Tigresspink]

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

[@shinyseashell]

WOW! That's really very creative!

[@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.

nice song and nice animation! the old video game like samplings made my day ^^

Great animation and editing. I think I just had a seziure.

It sounds like Commodore64 SID audio processor plus voice track with Vocoder effect added. Nice. Graphics is cool too, nice ideas for the animation.
