I have a long standing love hate relationship with the Japanese culture. On one hand, the Japanese people are incredibly friendly and intelligent. They’ve created some of the coolest stuff the world has ever known, and most of the selvedge denim I like comes from Japan because hey, they’re kind of awesome at that. But there’s also another side of Japanese culture that I find rather, well… inexplicable. The side of the culture where people like to stick eels in dark places, and create games like this… this… Muscle March.
If you were blind and couldn’t watch the following video, and you asked me to describe it to you, well… I’m honestly not sure that I could do it justice. I could tell you that it’s an exercise game, but you would probably hear all the screaming and yelling and wonder if I hadn’t gone crazy myself. I could tell you that there are a bunch of people running through walls with their shiny butts wiggling, but would that really be any better an explanation?
No my friends, I think it’s best you just see this for yourself.
How is Muscle March a thing???!?
This isn’t the crazies thing that I’ve seen come out of Japan, but it’s up there. Pay close attention to everyone’s glistening posteriors. Don’t worry, they’re everywhere. So… many… butts.
Unlike the Wakanada video I posted up, there are no nice lady butts to be found here… just shiny, polygonal man butts. That’s fine and well, but the quality that really makes this video disturbing is the characters awkward shuffle, and the incessant yelling… slightly angry, and slightly excited, like the speaker isn’t sure how he should feel about the whole thing. It’s all very confusing.
Now, I would suggest that you run out and grab a copy for shits and giggles, but in reality, that might be a little difficult. I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind allowing Muscle March to make its way outside of Japan. No, even marketing companies have limits.
