Found a karaoke place near me that actually had this song on its books: the MONGOL800 version. I selected it, whipped out my phone and sang Andrew WK's lyrics. Almost had to hold back tears during the last bridge.
@@Runar-jd5es I'd imagine that it retains a strong popularity in Japan, but the crazy thing is that the karaoke bar I went to was in Tennessee haha. It was a Korean bar that had a bunch of foreign songs on its books.
When I came to Tokyo back in 2002, Mongol 800 was everywhere, I also discovered Andrew WK at this time and it became a symbol of this adventure, imagine how I felt when, many years after I realized that those two worlds, that I thought I was the only one to associate, actually fusionned ! Tears of joy and nostalgia are drowning me.
I learnt this song off some Touhou video, and I'm surprised that somebody had translated this into English (let alone he's the guy behind the Cupcakes song)
I'm from JAPAN. I love this song.
This is the best covered song I've ever listened to.

What's the chance. Is it a well known song in japan?
