Come on now, sing it with me... "Yatta! Yatta! Yatta!"
Perhaps it's my own severely skewed sense of humor, but I think this has to be one of the funniest things to come out of Japan since Godzilla. A little backround on this group though, they are not an actual band, but a group of Japanese comedians (shudder). They did the Yatta song as a parody on American boy bands. I had a link that explained all this, I'll see if I can dig it up later. Anyways, the whole thing with the fig leaves is part of their act. They are a sort of native tribe that considers true happiness to be a sunny day and a fig leaf on your privates. Don't ask me, I guess the Japanese think those kind of things are funny.
