Mark Stryker Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Apologies if this has been posted previously. Sometimes I say "I have no words" in a metaphorical sense when, in fact, I have many words but would rather not spend time putting down my thoughts in writing. However, sometimes I literally have no words. This is one of those times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) The YouTube description is… 私がBassを弾いた＜面白シリーズ＞その② 音も画像もよくないですが・・(笑)、こういう企画は現存するもので他にはありません。 ま、笑って頂ければ。 Perhaps the words we’re looking for are there. Google translate to the rescue!! Watashi ga Bass o hiita < omoshiro shirīzu > sono ②-on mo gazō mo yokunaidesuga(Emi), kōiu kikaku wa genson suru monode hoka ni wa arimasen. Ma, waratte itadakereba. Or maybe not. Edited October 16, 2022 by Rooster_Ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 This is one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen. I was cracking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Why? According to my daughter, this is a jazz telling of the famous story "Momotaro'. It's a folk tale about a boy born from a peach that was floating down a river. She also tells me that the kanji for "Momotaro" are listed in the video title. How about that! Her very first response was "Holy shit, this is incredible!" Check it out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momotar%C5%8D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Don't thank me, thank my daughter. I was as WTF? as everybody else! She has actually taken time to have learned a little bit of Japanese, since s lot of her musical and other entertainment interests spring from there.

Brad Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 That adds some context but still a little unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 A member at Hoffman said that “It's from a Showa Era (this aired in 1986) music variety TV show. My wife is very familiar with it. It stars a famous Japanese comedian, Tamori.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
