This video came to me through Marlon. So thank you to him for this.
I love the song and the guys in the video are a special sort of "Japan-famous" that comes from being so out there that it could only really happen here. You can see the guys in the video at Yoyogi Park in Tokyo every weekend. There's also a smaller group of them I've seen in Nagoya and occasionally i see a couple of them here in Osaka. It's a pretty whacky sub-sub-culture and they are surprisingly regimented despite all of their rebel semiotics. You can see even in this music video that they have a pretty strict uniform and hierarchy. Fascinating stuff. And they love their Rockabilly music!! Oddly, this video is not rockabilly at all. But i do like the Peter Bjorn and John song very much. If you want to see more of the gang dancing to their own music you can search "Yoyogi Park Rockabilly" on either YouTube or Google. Enjoy.
