YATTA! YATTA!.......2005-04-12

YATTA! is now my new favorite Japanese catch phrase, and I am constantly looking for opportunities to inject it into my vernacular... even though this j-pop novelty phenomenon happened 2-3 years ago, and among those who are not so behind the curve, shouting YATTA! at life's little triumphs has got to be tragically, terminally unhip.

Don't care. I love this song! I love these six guys guys dancing in their ridiculous tighty-whities! I want to strip to my skivvies and join them, although I am past 45 and more than a little overweight. You've got to see the video to appreciate this ironically unironic hymn to exuberance. I downloaded it off gnutella, and then watched it about 25 times. While apparently making fun of boy bands, these guys are great performers and are just perfect. YATTA!

A Japanese Version Of The "Village People"!.......2004-05-26

Yatta! is one of the most entertaining and catchy tunes I've heard in a long time. "Yatta!" loosely translated means "All Right!". Sung by a group called "Happa Tai" (loosely means "Leaf Team" or "Green Leaves"), they almost sound and act like the Village People. I highly recommend that you find the video clip online and/or order the mini all-region DVD which is available at a website called "J-List". You'll get a chance to see six grown men, dressed in nothing but clean cut hair styles, and underwear covered with a big green leaf, on stage, and other various outdoor locations, singing and line dancing (shades of the Village People) to this very catchy tune. The song lyrics are actually about a group of college students taking a satirical look at the Japanese recession...as long as they have their health and their one leaf as clothing, they're happy-go-lucky and everythings "All Right!". Lots of fun!

unbelievable.......2003-12-05

Jaw-dropping. It will blow your mind. Best appreciated in video form - but once you've seen the video, you'll want to own the CD to inflict upon your friends. It's the most sickeningly sugar-coated, terrifyingly perky, soul-rapingly cutesy J-pop you've ever heard. It's like chugging undiluted soda fountain syrup, in a room painted in Day-Glo colors, after ingesting large amounts of a certain substance whose name begins with "L" and ends with "SD".

WARNING: This song WILL get stuck in your head and antagonize you for weeks - while driving in your car, eating lunch, trying to get to sleep at night, your world will be consumed by YATTA.

Some body set up the bomb song.......2003-10-10

This is quite possibly the best song ever, you have to see the video to belive it, and I play the song constantly and don't turn down the volume unles the neibors complain. Iratinal exuberance is also a must see, imatating (verry well) parts of all your base are belong to us and making fun of the funniest song on earth, making it the funniest video ever. a must buy and must see videos, and all you could ever want to know about it online, I heard it is going or has gone triple platnum.
Bye-Q!

Wacky but fun.......2003-05-02

If you don't know what Yatta! is all about, you probably won't know what to make of this CD. Do a search on the web and you'll find out all you need to know (watching the music video is a must).

Basically it started as a sketch from a Japanese comedy show that grew way out of proportion thanks to the Internet. A band of Japanese guys called Happa-tai ("leaf team") dances around in fig-leaf underwear while singing "Yatta!" ("We did it! / All right!") and about how they're so happy. It's hilarious and must be seen to be believed.

The CD has only the one song (plus the karaoke version and a remix), but it's such a great song it's worth every penny. It will stick in your head and never leave, until you find youself succumbing to Yatta fever. Yatta!!!
