Oh, those glorious Japanese...

Sign in to disble this ad
I thought this was kinda funny, for several reasons:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8Vwe...ayer_embedded#!

1 - The product being advertised;
2 - The fact that it's a Japanese video makes it possible this is not a joke video, but an actual product they're trying to sell. All the more hilarious;
3 - The fact that flying distance is being brought as a selling point for a guitar;
4 - The punk lyrics;
5 - The use of the term "Zombie guitah".

That is all. Carry on.

That was great. I'm getting 10 of those. Don't forget your sunglasses, fingerless gloves and awesome rock pose boys and girls.

Does it come with matching safety glasses for the first 5 meters of your audience to prevent lawsuits when they get pelted in the face with flying bits of wood?

No, but luckily it comes with a disclaimer, waving their responsibility for injuries. That's even better, coz that way, you get to have the injuries!

I lived in Japan for a few months in early 2001 and I don't recall their culture being as litigious as America/Europe.

I heard about this months ago. I think it is cool: it's cheap and it is recyclable what it not to love!

I personally consistently get over 7 meters with a Dano.

By the way, there *appears* to be a legit website for this company....

Dano's are pretty tuff actually... although due to their political stance and actions [prop 8] I think smashing them might..... I know no politics

I maintain hope that Japan will save instrument-based rock music (kinda the same way that Brits saved US blues).
