slug to be worked on later, posting this so I can find it easily.

I’m not terribly sure what this video is about, but it is pretty funny. My wife says that “Gattsu Daze” is something like “someone who has guts”, or an internal calm determination to get something done.
This song is by (an obviously) Japanese group called “ULFULS”, which could be a homologue to “wolfs”, although I seem to remember reading somewhere that they had originally intended to name the group “SOULFULS”, and that the current name was a result of a few letters being left off by the copy writer or some other faceless drone of the recording industry.
Speaking of which, here is a funny video of the group performing “Gattsu Daze!!”, complete with matching Edo-era outfits (before the Japanese counterpart to the RIAA gets around to having this yanked off of YouTube).
Although I don’t listen to non-Christian music much anymore, my wife has this tune on her iPod, and I’ll tolerate it if only for the humour value of video that goes along with it.

Tsugaru-jamisen: 吉田兄弟 (Yoshida Brothers)
A filler post, as it were.
But these guys are one of my favorites, and probably have stand to have as much appeal here in the USA as they do in Japan.
