Japanese ska is way ahead of any ska. Tokyo Ska Paradise and YUMYUM is my favorites by far. Though the trombone part for TSP is hard as hell sometimes haha. Great song, great vid. and replied so perdundudka, who cares? its great music and you should appreciate it the way it is.

The Asian man hitting his chest is a Japanese comedian, so its more relative pop culture/funny and most people don't get it if you aren't from there.

yeah.....trombones don't get much credit! There's only one thing that they get to do to get noticed, and that is being in front of a marching band. It's only because we would hit the other players with our slides if we weren't in front!

not bashing this vid (great song), but I wish we had more English speaking 3rd wave ska bands :(

@perdundudka

16y

Nice thing.. But I don't understand what are they singing

@crack_squirrels

16y

I would call this J-Ska, in the same way that a some J-Rock is softer and more watered down but crazier than Rock (no offence to J-Rock, mostly its awesome).

@user-ih5ty2of1f

なんでパッション屋良が出てるのｗｗ

@fireboy70

16y

you think that trombone players don't get respect? try playing this on bass! ska is different in that the bass plays the melody while the guitar keeps the rhythm. but nobody pays attention to the bass anyways! we still get stuck in the back beside the drumset when the role occupied here should put us in the front!

@stankey626

16y

How are they far ahead of our time? They sound just as good as Reel Big Fish or Aquabats. J-ska isnt better.

@xr3druM

16y

Stop claiming that this band is "ahead of their time." That's simply ignorant. For one, they are not. They have fans, thus their time is now. They play a sound many others play, just in a different language. Also, to those out there claiming this to be ska, you're far from correct. Sure, it has slight ska roots in it, but only at parts. This is far from ska. The only time the traditional strum is used was during the bridge.

ska rock! huh, but i think the vocal girl needs more training little bit more...

@ChysonXCENSORED

16y

Don't put your ear by the trumpet while she's playin, vocals lady? r u mad?

@xr3druM

16y

The rest was typical power chords with a boring rock strum. The horns are repetitive and the bass is just a crescendo during most portions. Not saying they're bad, as they are obviously far from it, just noting that they're more of a pop-band in this song than a ska band. They are also far from ahead of their time.

@pandamalo

16y

The main questios is Who cares, Ska Sucks For all I care, I only like a few bands That Try to get away from the Basic ska like this one or Ska-p

@deathgrip1

16y

Horns are repetitve and the bass is just a cresendo...hmm name one other band that doesnt do that. it may just be pop/ska but its still has that ska riff feeling in the horns. and have you ever seen a ska band get that much popularity (except maybe Streetlight Manifesto). still, tokyo ska paradise i take more appeal to.
