*promote! who is this guy?

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Monday, January 9th, 2012 8:31am PST - promote requested by Fusionaut.

I think the band is called Zainichi Funk. If you want to buy their music from iTunes you need to go to the Japanese iTunes store!

this track is called "Scary Bomb" AWE. SOME.

GOOD GAWT! KISS MYSELF!

Go on with your bad self!

wtf with the guy licking the stick.. LOL.

Japan has totally "transistor radioed" jazz and funk. Anything with cool brass and drum beat, they took the music we take for granted and they're doing it better.

Holy shit. This made my day. THANK YOU SIFT.

At the risk of being blown over by the collective groan, it has to be said:

"Somebody set up us the bomb!"

/ducks

Anyone have a translation of the lyrics?

He's got soul.
And he's superbad.
