Awesome Japanese Human Art Videos
Here are a few clips from a Kinchan no Kasoh Taisho special that aired a couple months ago on Japanese TV, in which people competed to create amazing human art masquerades of various things:
It’s really hot in this costume:

James, do you really have to sign the videos with that big “Featured on….” ?
This doesn’t really bother me that much, but why not say it at the end like you used to?
This is the reason:
http://www.technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D0bK63uSTTNs
949 links from blogs to a video that is ripped from one of this site’s uploads and given a different title. I’m sick of seeing great videos that originate on this site being re-upped elsewhere with “LOL Japs are crazy” titles. Removing the “featured on” thing at the end of clips proved far too easy for such sites, so my friend who upped these clips put the text on the video. Don’t expect it on every video shown on this site, just on the most amazing ones that are sure to be ripped and re-uploaded to ebums and other video sites.
GO SON GOKU!
is this the same program where that awesome pingpong thing that’s been on the net forever came from?
Yes, it is.
I’m not getting any sound on the first one James.
The first one? As in the one on the top? It’s playing sound for me.
Hmmm. I was only getting sound for the other ones, but now it’s okay. Dunno why. Sorry about that.
I am sorry to hear that, James.
Its suxx, when people stole someones work.
Im sure you dont mind them being used on sites. as long as the mention of where they originated is there.
If that was the case, I wouldn’t mind.
for the slow mo food fight, you can also see it being “borrowed” in Scissor Sisters’s “she’s the man” video, which is directed by Nagi Noda, whose works were known for being “pakuri”, or should I say “borrowing” ideas from other Japanese artists/sources….,
you can see the SS’s video here:

BTW Thats now Goku on the cloud…That is Monkey from the show Monkey magic
Before he was called “Monkey” in the English dub of that show, his name was originally Son Goku.
