When Shadow Puppets Attack
January 13, 2008
I’ve seen this video too many times to count at this point. The song, Tsubomi, is by the Jpop duo Kobuburo. I happened to come across this song watching the 2007 Music Station Super Live and remember thinking, “Damn, these suckas can sing!” After the show I went searching for the video, as well as as many song as I could get my hands on. These guys are one of my favorite groups at the moment and I think they won song of the year for this one.
Now, if I spoke Japanese this video would probably come across more sentimental and touching, but since I don’t, this is just some badass hand puppeteering. Never seen anything like it. I can’t even do a stupid rabbit and these folks are recreating violent nature videos.
Good times.
