Noise du Jour: “Kokiriko Bushi” by Japan

Posted by Derek C.F. Pegritz

Here we have a peculiar modernist/retro take on an old Japanese folk song, “Kokiriko Bushi.” The video features disembodied hands, dancing puppet-skeletons, and more giant eyeballs than an ophthalmologist’s convention at The Residents’ house. If the blippity-bleepity 8-bit arcade-game sounds don’t summon up an urge in you to play Pac-Man while shakin’ your butt to the buzzy Moog bass, there’s something wrong with you. Dance, you Space Invaders, dance!

Kokiriko Bushi [YouTube] : Pink Tentacle.

    Flippin’ sweet. I just bought the album after listening to the song here. The song is called Kokirikobushi by Omodaka.
