3 Ninjas Kick Back (1994) - Nan Arayo

[saz1998]

Vbzcccçcvv

[Sance05]

I don't know if to thumbs up (cuz I love the song) or thumbs down cuz ignorant Hollywood tried to pass off a Korean song as Japanese :s

[AndySan]

This song might have been popular in Japan even though it was from Korea. In any event, this was my first exposure to K-Pop!

[sexyturke87]

wie heist der song wie heisttttttttttttttttt der song what this name from songgg pls say meeeeeeee

[tomfordfan84]

OMG fucking random! This is the first KPop song I ever heard then!

[BudakZamAnSkaRang12]

I used to watch 3 Ninjas like mad last time! I miss it now~ ahha but sometimes they choose boys which doesnt fit the roles~ Lucky the boys in this movie is awesome!

[quasimoto270]

THE SONG IS IN KOREAN, WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY PUT IT IN A MOVIE THAT WAS CENTERED IN JAPAN? OH WELL ALL ASIANS ARE THE SAME

[darkservantofheaven]

I dont know about you guys, but I liked this one more than the first one...oh dont get me wrong it is still God Awful, but this one is the best of the 4, but yeah it is still bad...

[looveGD]

i don't understand why a song is in Korean Film Japanese XD but Seo Taiji & Boys legendary group! =) <3 <3

[MONOPOLY35]

I loved the scene where their mom SCREAMS after reading the note left behind. My parents told me (when I was a minor) that if I ever left for Japan without her, she would probably respond the same way. You'd think 3 ninjas mom would have called the National Guard!

[sim8899]

@Dslater417 I know, I think it's just cool how they added it to the movie.

[katya7706]

nice song for hearing, I like it thanks to this movie.

[fanhillary]

I MISS THE ORIGINAL ROCKY, COLT, AND TUM TUM.... :(

oh wellz...

[pillow112001]

@fanhillary colt still colt though :D

[fanhillary]

@pillow112001 true. XD

[pillow112001]

@fanhillary XD :D

[w00tzor25]

Wait... I think I have this movie now that I think about it!!

Must rummage through VHS tapes NOW! O.o

[sim8899]

Did anyone notice the Blow Up Mario at :45 ?

[Dslater417]

@sim8899 I mean Nintendo and Mario both come from Japan.

[WildRocker001]

just watched it on netflix. even though i still have it for vhs lol. i love this scene & the ninja tournament & when kogas nephew sings, "WHERES MY BITCH! WHERES MY BITCH!" fucking LOL everytime...god i love you 90's.

[Anarchistim]

Cars from the 90's look like crap.

[Salgier87]

This movie is on Netflix! watchin it right now! I haven't seen it since i was little, i love this movie!

[THEREALkrazyfreak]

is this a real movie?

[MrStroswift1]

this is the best one of them all

[Zenia178]

The original three ninjas were the best

[kurayamidesu]

I SOOO wanna see this movie on HBO or something now, so I can start singing along to this song. xD

[tamieka84]

all time favorite korean song

[Marcolectrocutioner]

ITSA MARIO!

[labelfree904]

nan arayo was probably a hit in japan after it was in korea..

timing seems right, seo taiji put this out in 92 and 3 ninjas came out in 94 so..

[xenokil]

I thought the name of the song was Nan Alhayo? o.o Unless there is a second title that i don't know of...

[aemnaemz]

@xenokil koreans sometimes pronounce their L's as R's so yeah.

Its nan arayo. theres no second title.

[RiseOfThePro]

at 0:05 he calls his granpa muri shintaro, but in the first movie he is called muri tanaka!

[YunSeung]

@RiseOfThePro Its funny that his name is Muri, which means impossible or never xD

[bambibethy18]

lol korean song in japan weird XD

[nativewizard]

0:47 is that mario?

[Bleach93Ishida]

@nativewizard IT'S-a ME! MAAAARIO!

[RiseOfThePro]

@nativewizard yeah man, nintendo is japanese

[meplusyou1211]

does anyone know how to watch this movie online??

please give me links . :))

[dongdongvu1]

gotta love a country where 99% of people have never heard of jesus

[cinderziera]

haha. i've known the song for this long... hahahahahahahahahahaha

[treasuredforever]

seo taiji and the boys...papa yg you're the best!!!

[cstef10]

oh, the 90's...

[unitedrider123]

@cstef10 they were great days

[kimyonsama]

japan tsunami forever

[2real4yan08]

one of fav klassics... member watchn this bout 2nd grade... whn them zebra stripe j's kame out out i waz rockn them 2 & this movie ha.. 

[mdsayers]

oh man i soooo wish this movie had a soundtrack.

[ramiel2000]

Motherfker I watched through 2 while 3 ninja movies because I didn't know which one this song came out in !!!! Just to listen to Seotaiji T_T why didn't I just look for a clip T_T anyways Seotaiji ROCKS MY WORLD !

[LucifersSweetAngel]

FAIL

[justtv321]

I think this would be unforgiveable if the song was crap. But it certainly isn't, so...

[NimeyChan]

I swear this made me just dance in my seat

[dutchvoncool]

This movie was aimed at 6 to 12 year olds. I wonder if they do a poll in Canada, UK of 6-12 years of this scene if they would be able to the song is not Japanese.

[Lacusclyne11]

what does the japanese man say at the beginning?

[deviantinvader]

@nuckinfuts32330 "so you disagree who fuckin cares" - That goes both ways. :)

[deviantinvader]

@nuckinfuts32330 You're being immature because (as I said before) you responded to a very old comment just to complain. The song nationality matters to a lot of people. You disagree. Big deal.

[deviantinvader]

@nuckinfuts32330 It's always funny when immature little assholes like you respond to comments that were made over a year ago just to bitch about something. Grow up.

[Ayumura96]

i thought it was pretty funny that the movie was japanese/american and the songs are korean...i got kinda upset...but wtf?!!!

[dannysr20]

i love the silvia at 0:45

[prettysing]

Seo Taji WIN!

This movie... FAIL.

[G2IntegraDA]

Wow, this deserves to be on fail blog. The irony... at least the song is kick ass though. :D Seo Taiji's Nan Arayo chaegoya!

[xiaorishu]

Omg, this movie is on TV now and I was so shocked to find out that they put Seo Taiji's song in this LOL!

[athiruppi]

country: japan

song: korean

fail!

nice song thou..

[daisuke0006]

I LOVE IT



[LordvGum]

I guess this means Korean music replaces Japanese music? nah jk but still =P

[LNLN123]

lol

[Huhmasta]

this song is THE SHIT

[wrobokiss]

Wow, three white kids in Japan while a popular Korean song plays in the background. I feel this is just so... terribly wrong. lol

[Minagi3571]

wow... that's just not right! I mean, I love Seo Taiji, but there were many many good japanese songs at the time, so I don't know why they had to use a korean song instead, and the worst part is that they could easily get away with it, since almost no one could tell, that's kind of disrespectful to get mixed up all those different asian cultures, they're all so different to me.

[penelopeDTImarie]

i was too busy watching the movie to realize that it was korean .. wow. im a loser haha. & i even listen to kpop. cheh! lol (my lil cuz is watching it rite now as i type haha) colt's my fave hehe ^_^ [mannn this movie came out when i was born...!]

[RehGo]

s13 at 0:49 :O

ahh the nostalgia

[vanillacat0]

The funny thing is, there's TONS of similarly famous japanese pop music they could've used instead...

[fuzetsu490]

awesome, playing a Korean song when arriving in japan xD

[OkayWhoBroughtTheDog]

:15 does Flavor Flav know about this?

[Minagi3571]

@OkayWhoBroughtTheDog yeaaaahh boii... umm... no... I guess he doesn't :P

[b1346]

Lol its all the same. In Memoirs of a Geisha, the main Chiyo Chan was played by a person not of Japanese decent. Its ok, they are all the same Lolol

[ThugLady]

lool the bowing xD thats so cool!

[watchemeh]

:47 Silvia :D best car ever.

[RTJoReL]

Wow. Haven't seen this movie in forever. I thought this and the tournament montage were the best 2 scenes because of the music. I had no idea at the time that this was such an influential Kpop song.

[Noitora22]

damn this song came up on my ipod and i was like holy shit this is such a classic

lol i love how they're in Japan and this is a korean song

[zerohundredlol]

I'm pretty sure I saw this when I was little cause my bro was obsessed with the "3 ninjas" stuff.

Weirdly enough, I'm obsessed with Korean music! It's so odd to think about this song being in my past...

[willtopower91]

i prefer this line up than the original one.

[Church96]

oh wait colt was stil the same actor, but rocky and tum tum wasnt =/

[jksun12]

American movies suck~

[dukeare1]

@jksun12 you suck

[0zerosample]

진짜 한국가수가 부른 노래를 일본 배경애다가 해놓은거야 ㅡㅡ

[ljilji11]

this song group is Koean~!!never Japanese~!!

[ozaki1]

@ljlji11

err... no one said it was, douche.

[eidorishare]

love the korean song while they are in japan! hehehehe

[x4samoora3x]

I just found out who sung this song!! AND IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF THIS FILM :D.. i always watched this with my sisters XD!! awesome song !

[xChaoticDreamsx]

Hahah I love this sceneee! It is my favourite from the whole movie just cause the song is epic! Haha!

[123Samano]

Ya know i was a kid when i heard this theme, I guess that they are trying to hook in hip hop fans although.

Sigh, I felt Lied to now.

I'll try to make a sketch on this so peeps could know WTF they're doing if you lie to your fans.

Damn, it they must not get any nationality confused by MIX MATCHING the local music.

Damn, the directors are so going to get fried!

[morahano2]

0:58 lol. I do that, too.

[handsomeone77]

damn memroies

[HoshiKawa2000]

I heard this song when I first saw the movie in '94!!! Luv Seo Taiji. Good thing my mom told me they were Korean and not Japanese. It was fun telling that to the kids in school who thought they were right ^_^

[japanladd]

ive wanted this song ever since i saw this film when i was younger...its amazin hahah...

[Roninwarrior7]

Great song and Silvia S13 at 0:47! :)

[erushad]

when i saw the movie i love that song... and for many years i never knew the name or the artist... and one day, a new type of game came to the argentina... the pump it up...the emotion i feel to hear againt that song... T.T

[PALEc3005]

zna ktos tytul tej piosenki???????

[FuguPop373]

Hahaha! "Tokyo" is right! Maybe they moved all of the famous Osaka sights to Tokyo just for the purpose of the movie?

[soccer91020]

mistaa shintaroooooo

[Meatmonk2000]

maybe Im ignorant but why play Seo Taiji to a Japanese theme?

[deviantinvader]

The creators probably used Seo Taiji's music because they thought Americans were too stupid to realize that he was singing in Korean, not Japanese. (And sadly, they were right for the most part.) =/

[rawr0206]

wow way to be discriminating...

there's a huge difference between ignorance and stupidity. ironically, your comment included both. can you tell the differences between Austria and German, Serbian and Czech, Nepalese and Indian etc...? if not then shut the fuck up...

[rawr0206]

ooops deviantinvader, seems like your comment got deleted. that is because you are moron :) now go away and leave this video at rest. and you BLOCKED me? oh wow seems like you've mistaken me for someone who either actually give a shit or visit your shitty page...i.e no one

sorry mtembo465 for spamming :)

[satori137]

@deviantinvader it's not a matter of being stupid, but rather of simply not knowing the difference due to unfamiliarity with either language. =P this speaks more to the stupidity and laziness of the producers rather than the public, the public isn't obligated to know when a song is in korean or japanese.

[Alchemist11]

@deviantinvader Right, because Americans are supposed to be able to detect those differences. Can you detect the difference between Punjabi, hindi and urdu? Assuming you don't speak any of the languages of course.

[deviantinvader]

@Alchemist11 On another note, why do people feel the need to respond to comments that were posted close to a year ago? Do you have any idea of how annoying that is?

[AktiebolagetAB]

@deviantinvader stfu and adapt.

[Silversava2]

@deviantinvader Maybe korean songs were cheaper back in those days

XD

[Bulldog22031]

@deviantinvader it's got nothing to do with being stupid... I bed you couldn't tell the difference between most African languages.

[deviantinvader]

@Bulldog22031 To be blunt, most tribal languages in Africa aren't anywhere near as widespread as the Korean and Japanese languages are. There's a big difference between not knowing about something that's barely used in the world and not knowing about something that's as widespread as the Korean and Japanese languages are.

[Bulldog22031]

@deviantinvader You missed my point entirely.

[deviantinvader]

@Bulldog22031 No, I didn't. Your point was well understood.

There's a big difference between not knowing the difference between little known languages (i.e. tribal languages from Africa) and not knowing the difference between widespread languages (i.e. Korean and Japanese).

[Bulldog22031]

@deviantinvader If you understood my point, you wouldn't have said what you said. Either ask what I meant (instead of assuming), or don't worry about it... either way I do not really care.

[PrinceWatercress]

@deviantinvader My thoughts exactly.

Still captures the mood of the scene to a tee, though.

[deviantinvader]

@PrinceWatercress Agreed.

[nelsoncards]

@deviantinvader why would americans be able to tell the difference? besides its just a song in the movie. and most viewers of this movie were children so yeah they defenitely didnt give a shit what language it was in

[PaulJin86]

@deviantinvader yeah americans are too stupid to recognize what languages he used

[demo2382]

@deviantinvader Totally agree! "Stupid" 10 year old American KIDS couldnt tell the difference between the Korean and Japanese language....

[deviantinvader]

@demo2382 I am really, really sick of having smartasses reply to comments I left over a year ago. That goes for every website I'm a member of.

I'm just going to keep this short and to the point: I'm blocking you. I'm sick of dealing with assholes.

[demo2382]

@deviantinvader Who cares when you wrote it, its still posted and its the first comment everyone sees when they look up this video. Delete the stupid comment if you dont want responses.

[deviantinvader]

@demo2382 I could do that, yeah, but you could stop being an ass and ignore it.

The Top Comments feature didn't exist when I first posted my comment, so I didn't expect a bunch of people to bitch at me for posting what I consider to be legitimate input.

Do most kids know the difference between the Korean language and the Japanese language? Probably not.

The people making this movie, however, were well aware of the difference and chose to ignore it. The fact that they did that is ignorant.

[demo2382]

@deviantinvader I could do that, but you seem to be the one irritated of the responses people leave (other than mine). But hey, you got a lot of thumbs up so why bother? :) Any who, lets not fight no moar.

[meowbunny13]

@deviantinvader I can tell the difference, but I know a lot of people who can't. 

[ozaki1]

Rap wasn't as well-known/developed in Japan as it was in South Korea back then, hence the choice.

[buttaaamilkXbiiiscut]

rap wasnt really known in South Korea

either really..Seo Taiji & Boys just only

started kpop/rap only 2 years earlier.

it wasnt really "developed" anywhere yet

[ozaki1]

err... OK.

So basically, when the plot was in Japan, the producers didn't choose a Japanese rapper (assuming that one existed), but chose a South Korean rapper instead.

Everything's starting to fall in its place, NOT.

[buttaaamilkXbiiiscut]

Japan isnt known for rap artist. back then

probably only few people did actually rap.

plus knowing the american prodoucer and

the person that finds the music for the

movie probably thought no one would even

know the difference between a japanese

or a korean song since "all asians languages

sound the same"

and please. do not give me sarcasm

it's very unnecessary..

[buttaaamilkXbiiiscut]

*producers

[ozaki1]

You've finally made a relavent point. GOOD JOB!

[buttaaamilkXbiiiscut]

@ozaki1 you are annoying..

you even went and stalked my videos

"GOOD JOB!" freak..

[ozaki1]

Following me huh. freak.

lmao

[dangin5]

@ozaki1 yea the director is korean but he felt that he would get more publicity if he based it in japan a country that was more familiar with the american public

[ozaki1]

??

The director's Charles T. Kanganis. He's not a Korean.

One of the writers was Sang-ok Shin, who is a Korean American...

[dangin5]

oh my bad i got my facts mixed up thanks for telling me!

[taijicita]

I LOVE SEO TAIJI <3

[SP17david]

it just shows that filmmakers will try to pass off anything asian as one thing when its really another

[cumshtr]

i hear flavor flav

[sanvirwii]

this is a rip off of get into the groove by madonna

[levig090]

LMFAO!!! its like having the Americans going to Britain to make a movie and putting a famous German song as the main characters are shown round London.

Seo Taiji Boys changed music in Korea no doubt. Great song great group! The song's called Nan Arayo, one of the member is the CEO and founder of the famous Korean label YG Entertainment.

[ribbitribbit32]

@levig090 lol... your British comparison isn't really fair.. You can't really compare Britain to Japan, two totally different cultures. DON'T YOU THINK that Americans can tell the difference between English and German a LITTLE easier than they can tell Japanese from Korean? to think otherwise is kind of ridiculous

[levig090]

@ribbitribbit32 you are seeing this through the eyes of an european/westerner no doubt, which is why you can distinguish german from the british far easier. you will probably also have a fair idea that german is very dissimilar to english.

but at least you have a common alphabet.

from the point of view of an asian (such as myself)

the cultures from both japan and korea are also as distinctive from one another. which is why i find it hilarious to have the korean song playing in this scene.

[levig090]

@ribbitribbit32 the korean language is also totally different from japanese. right down to the characters/alphabets. the koreans have the hanguel. whilst the japanese the kanji and hiragana.

[kingseijun]

@levig090 dont forget katakana



[levig090]

@ribbitribbit32

the point im making is, if people (westerners) make glaring mistakes such as this might be seen as downright ignorant by asians.

which is why i made the germans/brits example from our asian point of view.

and your reaction to my comparison also made my point.

as that was how we reacted to the scene when we first saw it... ridiculous... lol ^_^!

[xTheFormlessOneIGF1]

@levig090

such as that one german song "du hast" by rammstein..lmfao

[zombieumbrella]

@levig090 I agree with you. Remember National Lampoon's European Vacation? Need I say more?

[Paligurl123]

can anybody tell me what the song is called i HAVE WONDERED FOR YEARS...best movies ever..love this song!

[mafeya0291]

It says in the description...and title?

It's 'Nan Arayo' by Seo Taiji and Boys

[Paligurl123]

thanks my dumb self...found it ahahah love this songgg

[Fukadakyokolover]

SEO TAIJI!!!!

[taijicita]

you are the shit!

[sasaew]

this movie director is korean and song is korean too

this song is really famous in korea

this song is come out 1992 march

[ElementalMisshap]

its NOT japanese,

Its KOREAN

[MajorBerto88]

it's really dosnt matter the song is awesome and everybody knows it

[sevnrock]

i remember watching this when i was 8 or 9 years old and thinking "wtf why is seo taiji's song playing!"

[JinXuanJun]

WTF?! i didnt know

[GIOMcH]

oh maybe they haven't found any japanese song better than this korean one xD

[pompilot301]

the producers were stupid enough not to research this song up to use it for this movie. If its going to be a movie in Japan then use Japanese music. low budget film companies are like this.

[heiyoulianglaohu]

Not only that, but ALL of the asian songs that are played while they are in japan are Korean.

[ElementalMisshap]

and i love them for it! the songs made the movie rock

[heiyoulianglaohu]

Yeah, I know! Check out my channel. I have the music video of the song by Chuli and Miae that was played during the Ninja tournament . My girlfriend is Korean, and she got it off a Korean website for me, so I uploaded it to share with as many other fans as possible.

[Privit85]

Hy Leute

Also ich liebe Filme "3 Ninjas"

Kann mir jemand mal helfen wie das Lied heißt und eventuel wo ich es bekommen könnte.

Finde es echt klasse.

Liebe Grüße
