I would very much like this song WITHOUT the vocals. Any chance this even exists?
Great Song, very addicting. First thought was "This is strange. The Background music is good." Then about a week later I had the drift stuck in my head and had to come back. :)
anal beads, a prostate massager. a wooden and glass dildo, streets lined with brothels, hands walking around in the finger f++k position . . . . wonder what this song is about . . . lol.
OK, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?, i...it's like you're taking a journey through the perverted mind of a japanese man who enjoys the night life or a sex hotel or something.
@somethingicanrem it took me a long time to find the lyrics for this song... 梅は咲いたか 桜はまだかいな 柳なよなよ風次第 *山吹ゃ浮気で 色ばっかり しょんがいな~ 柳橋から 小舟で急がせる 舟はゆらゆら波次第 **舟から上がって土手八町 吉原へご案内 アサリ取れたか ハマグリまだかいな アワビくよくよ 片想い サザエは悋気で 角ばっかり しょんがいな~ *山吹ゃ浮気で 色ばっかり しょんがいな~ **舟から上がって土手八町 吉原へご案内
haha...wow....had to watch it twice to get it....the whole concept is so erotic and so much more than wiggling beads, yet it's simply called "plum song," coy and demure like japan.... they've freakin got their style down. :) damn i wish i could understand enka
I dont think this could be considered enka though I'm not really sure. Despite most people calling it traditional, Enka has a relatively short history in japan (something like 50 or 60 years). I'm no expert in classical japanese music but I imagine this style of singing existed way longer than 50 or 60 years. which makes it so much more interesting when mixed with chiptune. Typical Enka wouldnt sound good with this at all.
And you can praise Japan for this if you want, but lets be realistic, 99.9% of Japanese people dont listen to this kind of music or ANYTHING interesting. This is as indie as you can get and still draw a crowd aside from noise which is another isolated scene. But those who think Japan is void of real art are clearly wrong..
Hey Lazer85, I was expressing my excitement over the song. I apologize if I pissed you off by not being an enka aficionado and for making a few harmless comments which needed to be corrected in great detail whether they were true or not. But I'm glad you got it out of your system.
uhh therre was no hostility in my comments and i wasnt pissed off at all, I appreciated your comment and wondered why it had a thumbs down on it. Now I'm thinking you probably made an enemy somewhere by responding with hostility. why you feel threatened? you said you wish you could understand enka and I figured that the first step would be knowing that this is not it. And I just thought you should know that this does not represent a large portion of whats produced in japan
@tsukun16 yes, but it is a special kind. Do you notice that it has a opening through the middle. It is called "sukebe isa" or pervert stool, it is used in a kind of prostitution like bath house (soapland etc..) to make certain "areas" of the (male) customer available for 'servicing" by the female attendants. (p.s. no I do NOT know this from experience)
You're not losing it. The whole song is erotic. The scene in the video represents Yoshiwara, Tokyo's 19th century red-light district. The hands beckoning behind the bars are traditional Edo-era prostitutes.
Omodaka is wonderful. The contrast of traditional voice with the obscure synths is enough to warrant me to buy this. I hope they keep on making music. Cantata 169 is still one of my favorite songs. Thanks Omodaka.
It's a remix of an other song (funk song ? not sure), but I can't remember the name of the original...
Awesome song by Omodaka as always ! And mindfucking video. :'p
