The Knit Cap Man

[projec64]

People get creeped out when I sing this at random.

[THEGREATMAX]

The sound effect at 3:52 is in EB, it plays when you defeat Giygas and the TV fades out.

[THEGREATMAX]

What really hits home for me though is the last question he asks, because he has nobody to talk to about Fujio-san... nobody knew the homeless guy and who else would care?

[THEGREATMAX]

This speaks loads about the human condition. In the video, Itoi found someone who didn't judge him and went above and beyond the call of duty to help him when he was in need, so they became friends.

The saddest part is after Fujio-san's death, when Itoi is asking himself "Who were you trying to meet? Where do I put your grave? What do I do with your dog?"... it just conveys the frantic pace of your mind and really reflects how people truly feel when they're in emotional shock.

[THEGREATMAX]

Strange, Funny, and Heartrending seem to be themes that Mr. Itoi always tries to convey. So beautiful.

[benlaneconnor]

Almost had me in tears by the end of it

[Masasiku3]

Fujio-san was a torchbearer of Tokyo Olympics.

[GFREX]

lmao. Was he taking a dump around 1:30 - 1:50? This song rules.

[MultiversalNomad]

Oh Fujio-san!

[KairiHawkeye]

What a song. I kinda like it.

[zedrein18]

Is this supposed to be terrifying?

[taimaichan]

糸井さんって、正直オイラは良く知らなかったんだけど、

コピーライターってすげー

[Atma505]

I must have watched this a dozen times by now... It never gets old.

[OfficerJordan]

Item Guy is awesome.

[icookzombieflesh]

I wish i could find this album

[otherhand]

This is totally stuck in my head and I've listened to it more times than is healthy.

[Nawap24]

I love the item storage guy.

[Monodi91]

Hahahha wonderful

[skyrunner14]

What's going on at the end of the video, with the guy running?

[TrueSoreThumb]

Either he's dead, or it's showing how Japan used to celebrate him bringing the Olympic Torch back to Japan. (Notice the pictures in Fujio-san's shack when Itoi discovers the shack is empty)

[TrueSoreThumb]

Itoi could always write such great stories. I love the music of this song, too. I want to find a download of this song.. Beautiful :o

[elementalkirby]

That was wonderful.

[BrainBoil]

わぁ～すごいねぇ～

[gabpieri]

Who is the caracther of MOTHER 3 based in this guy ?

Sad history :´(

[starmennet]

The item storage guy.

[gabpieri]

Ow its true

[THEGREATMAX]

@starmennet What is a Tetrapot?

[Aphrodine]

Yes, WHO!? Inquiring minds must know!

[Monodi91]

You will see once you play the game, its recurring in almost every level.

[f9901758]

Oh, fujio-san...

[RedSnifit]

A sad story, but a nice song...

[Hukuzo]

I remember seeing this a while back.

[mranyonesam]

Fujio-san?...

...Wow!...

[mackincheese]

Which character is it based off, if you don't mind? I just beat Mother 3..

[starmennet]

It's the other way around. The item guy is based off of Fujio-san.

[mackincheese]

Oh, yeah, that's what i meant. lol

[PoeTrader]

wtf this is sad D:

[squishfaceofsaryrn]
