Song Extended : Theme of Don Quixote

[@ClarkeBaldwin]

It's been 3 hours, you are on the 4th floor of 7 in Mega, you have 2 baskets filled with complete nonsense and you are considering picking up the basket trolley to carry a third. You are dehydrated, over stimulated, delirious and you have no idea if the sun is still up outside. .....then this song plays for 873rd time that day and all is well once more as you reach for another Totoro keyring.

Storytime: I heard a few seconds of this tune at the end of that Japanese video Dunkey made. I assumed he used it because it sounded like "dun dun dun dunkey." Well, I tried to find that song several times in the course of the past couple years, but to no avail. Then today, on Sunday the 27th of June, 2021, I was playing Yakuza Kiwami 2 trying to do Haruka's requests for the Platinum trophy. I noticed the song she was singing, "Don, Don, Don, Don Qui" could sound a lot like the Dunkey song. I come to KZbin, type it in and, lo and behold, here it is. Thank you, niper S. Thank you, Haruka.

I just spent a month in Japan, hitting up about 8 different cities, and naturally, I made it my personal mission to visit every single Don Quixote along the way-from Tokyo to Himeji. Let me tell you, this store is what happens when Buc-ee’s and Walmart have a love child, feed it energy drinks, and set it loose in a neon wonderland. It’s chaos, it’s magic, and I’m obsessed. One night, I found myself in the Shibuya location-soaking wet from a day of nonstop rain, exhausted, starving, and probably on the verge of dehydration-but did I stop? Nope. I powered through, shuffling around like a sleep-deprived zombie, filling my basket with random treasures I didn’t even know I needed. Socks shaped like sushi? Yes, please. A cat-shaped humidifier? Absolutely. It was peak retail therapy, and I was living my best life. Now, thanks to that trip, the Don Quixote jingle is permanently etched into my brain. It’s playing on repeat all day, every day. Honestly, I’m not even mad-it’s a banger. Best shopping experience of my life, hands down!
