Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter ex-jedi.

Lyrics (found the translation on this site, which is definitely worth visiting to learn more about the group) are below. I've removed the original Japanese and Romanji transcriptions so that it is easier to read:

Title:
え・い・り・あ・ん
e i ri a n
A - L - I - E - N

Words and lyrics by Maximum the Ryo-kun

Flattering government
Deceiptful presentation
Fabricated details
Danger enterprise

Praise and censure creed
Jumbled up truth
All of Japan deploring
Has nihilism come?

Self-contradiction, loop of complaints
Fall into dilemma, many cases of depression
Swarming around rights, self-important men in suits
Coveting usury, some group or other

Self-interest slave loaded with empty arguments
Money disappears as vain expenses
Embracing distrust, discord arises
Standing idly on the side, discover indignation


Ego? Freedom? LOL. / Fart stench, sinister / “Why don’t you…?” Selfish

Twenty years old, head to the election!!

“I get it I get it I get it! You idiots!”
“Later Later Later I’ll e-mail you later”
“Your whiny whiny whining is noisy, idiot! Stop going out of your way to be so annoying”

“Chopper, go! Futoshi!”*
*Translator’s note: Futoshi is MTH’s bassist

Brother rescue
Brother let’s go
We are brothers, WE!!
You’re my brother, YOU!!

Alien, alien, kidnap me like in a movie...
Alien, alien, I am no match for eternity


STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!
STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!
*Translator’s note: Winny was a p2p pirating software like napster that was very popular in Japan but isn’t really used anymore. In an interview, Ryo-kun (who does hate when his music is pirated, I think) was asked why he used such an old reference, he mentioned that he wanted to have a catchy “STOP” phrase where other stuff like “STOP NUKES” could be replaced.

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!
STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!
STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!! STOP WINNY!

STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!
STOP! STOP WINNY UPLOAD!!

STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!
STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!

STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!
STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!

STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!
STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!

STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!
STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!

STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!
STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP THE WINNY!

STOP STOP! STOP STOP!
STOP STOP! STOP STOP!
STOP STOP WINNY!

STOP STOP WINNY!

PV spoken ending:

D: We will not forgive use of WINNY under any circumstances! Anything but WINNY!

N: People aren’t even using WINNY these days. And there are plenty of other things we have to say “STOP!” to. So there’s no point in raising your voice like that. All the kids have left.

D: But, we can’t allow any more uploads...

N: No, I know, but look at the one kid left, about to cry.

D: (to kid) You think so too, don’t you?

N: No no no! She definitely has no idea. And now the last kid has left. You hate WINNY too, don’t you? I said, no one uses WINNY anymore.
Look at you, over there looking like Mitsue (Daisuke’s mom)...

D: What?!

N: Get that Mitsue look off your face.

N: It's one thing to talk bad about me...!

End

I assumed it was because of the Jedi mind powers of the guy in the suit...

...NERDS!...
(as though I'm not right there with them)

One thing I noticed is that although they have full-on suits of stormtrooper armor (probably a lot of 501st members), several mandalorian variations, jedi robes, etc. they seem to have only one black stratocaster guitar with a white pickguard (and one flying V that I think was just a superimposed image). 'Cmon guys, give Fett an SG or something; maybe a nice Les Paul for Obi-Wan.

That was really well done. *quality

Looking back on it, Vader without the mask actually kinda sounded like Bane.

But the really interesting thing is, after all the bullshit prequels, I'd forgotten just how good the end of Jedi actually was. Ok, the ewoks were annoying, but on the other hand, you had the death star space battle and tunnel run (still one of the most exciting set pieces on film IMO), and the fantastic confrontation with genuine pathos set to one of Williams crowning musicals achievements.

It's just awesome, and it made me remember why I loved Star Wars so much as a kid.

That and the Emperor fucking terrified me.

Hey, it's supposed to be Nunchucks of lightning, not just random jedi powers.

Upvote anyway.

No seriously, who let Jedi's into the break dancing competition?

Your video, Warwick Davis and Carrie Fisher Reenact Return of the Jedi, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

"And since George Lucas directs like he's got a stick up his butt"

True...but Lucas didn't direct 'Jedi'...Richard Marquand did.

When that movie came out I thought that they gave the only black jedi a "black light"-sabre. How cute and racial, I thought. I was surprised he didn't talk about it. Am I the only one in on the joke?

My understanding of star wars lore is that Sith use red lightsabers because the grow artificial crystals for their lightsabers, which only grow red (or red hues). Jedi use crystals that grow naturally, and thus have a much larger variety of colors (with some being rarer than others). Their is no logical restriction that says a Sith MUST use a red crystal, or that Jedi MUST use blue or green. I'd imagine that by lore, you would have to say that purple crystals are just super rare and that Windu being such an influential Jedi managed to get one of the rare few.

Didn't Raven's Jedi Knight games have yellow and purple light sabers all over the place? I wonder how they got away with that.

My favorite has always been the disappearing TIE fighters in Return of the Jedi. You'll need to use a copy of the original movie and not one of the new versions. Right after the Rebels escape Jabba's sail barge, we see a scene of TIE fighters circling the Death Star, welcoming the Emperor. As the scene starts, four TIE fighters appear from around the camera and fly down to the lower left. Keep your eye on them and *blink*, they disappear right before the scene changes.

This scandal with ''The Jedi Council'' is only the latest in a long line of similar examples of inappropriate behaviour by the armed forces:

http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/political-news/army-shamed-by-sex-videos-20130613-2o79z.html

That article points out that the Army has the lowest female representation of the three defence services, and that a few more senior role models would probably help.

He reminds me of my high school principle telling off the whole school once...
