Kishi Bashi × Tokyo Cheer② Party 「It All Began With a Burst」

[@deldzl]

This is probably my favorite music video of the year.

[@chuheiwei]

this is freaking amazing. for anyone confused, the japanese is the homophone equivalent to kishi bashi's english lyrics. when translated back to english, the result is ridiculous.

[@thekidsaresolidgold]

Last night I watched this video with Kishi Bashi himself! He's one seriously cool dude.

[@the1stmikec]

WOW! I hope Kishi gets to perform with them on his Japan tour.

[@akirawashere]

This is brilliant. The subtitles and the Japanese translation are both genius! :D

[@ceaser21i]

LOL "Gotta have that suace! Doobie Afro?" My favorite part of this lyric is that doobie afro is a question. Like they are saying someone's name, but arent sure if it is really their name. I imagine doobie afro being a tall lanky black man from the 70s looking hip and fly and smoking a doobie.

[@lacemastarson]

I would like for Kishi Bashi do a remake of this song where he swaps out the lyrics for these subtitles.

[@ellenmarie8484]

I second that motion.

[@Kokiriboy001]

What the fuck is this? I was looking for videos of the lead singer to Jupiter One...???

[@Kokiriboy001]

Ok, after watching it three more times and reading the English subtitles i'm still very confused. I know the translations are hard to do between English and Japanese but its just so far off. Am I wrong?

[@Kokiriboy001]

Kokiriboy001 Ok, 7th time watching it and I'v come to the conclusion that there was a translator for English to Japanese that did its job to the best of its abilities (computer). This possessing inaccuracy from both using English audio to translate and having poor interpretation from English to Japanese (being a shaty translator) it failed miserably. Then finally a completely different translator that is coincidentally shaty as well does a worse job going from Japanese to English. Too much explanation?

[@r13hd22]

hey wait a minute "when I pull the manual out, i'm like yeah" all the time as well! It totally freaks everyone out, they all say "man that guy sure gets excited easily."

[@かみら-u2c]

[@luvyuming1]

本当に異色。。。how could they have voice like that????

[@lelandclay4733]

THIS MAKES ME SO FU-QING HAPPY!

[@ellenmarie8484]

Can you help me out, Doobie Afro? I gotta have that sauce, man!

[@ecchan17]

LOL! Pretty nice, simple idea but really ridiculous! I hope no one will dislike this video.

[@lizzieryan3250]

[@camilpizarro]

jajajaja love this video , and love the singer

[@Robusticity]

Lost it at "I will properly steam my money".

[@CheeseyCake]

oh my god the subtitles

[@Stufsocker]

I would say there are no words, but there are many. A sample, in alphabetical order: Amazing, Bizarre, Creepy, Delightful... all the way to Unexpected, Very Wacky, Xtremely entertaining, Yikes and *Zoinks*.

[@laurenw473]

Hahaha it's like Japanese Buffalax

[@Retrofire-47]

Why do all young Japanese women look like clones? sorry i asked.

[@ubik5763]
