…this guy:

Obviously, I’m lying. But I saw this video on Invisible Oranges (as part of a piece in which Cosmo Lee wonders “What is it with bassists and pigtails?”), and… well, if I didn’t share it, I just wouldn’t be doing my job.

    This is scary!

    Make sure you watch at around 3:20. He not only plays bass, he drinks milk.

    • jxk

      …and promptly vomits it back up.

      don’t forget the cruise ship.

    Well, overlooking the pigtails – the man can play some bass

      You’d have to overlook basically everything else in the video, but… yeah.

  • Gecko

    uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh…………….

  • RenegadeDave

    Seriously, what’s with Japanese people ripping on their instruments but dressing as a girl and doing it?

    • Kalior

      Actually he’s Korean, but kind of a Japanese internet meme since he plays a lot of Anisongs
      There’s actually another video of him in normal clothes SHREDDING Judas Priest

  • Facebook User

    he also has a pink laptop….

  • Future Ruins

    Wow, this dude really shreds, aside from looking like a retarded trans-testicle Tinkerbell.

    • Future Ruins

      What’s with the puking? Very strange stuff going on here.

    ………What?

  • timmah

    Well! That was…hmmm…yes!

    jesus christ….

  • Ziltoid

    This is as old as John McCain.

    • Future Ruins

      I like ya Metroid but there is a considerable amount of us who do not surf the net all hours of the friggin day.

      • Ziltoid

        I don’t surf all hours, just the ones where I feel the need to procrastinate, which is quite often. Don’t blame me for not feeling like writing papers…

  • Ben

    This has WTF smeared all over it.

  • pigchop

    Now I feel like phoning random numbers and screaming at whoever answers.

      HAHAHAHAHA

    the thing about this video that makes me keep watching it over and over again is how unbelievably flawless the bass playing is. This is one of the most technical slap/classical finger plucking basslines and this crazy dude manages to play it perfectly (see lick at 1:12).

  • dlux

    this song reminds me of music from sonic 2. is it?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Alex-Winney/1818042315 Alex Winney

    Was that a guy or a girl?

    • pigchop

      neither. It is an awesome bass player.

  • Vakarm

    damn……Japan really is the Paradise of Freaky Shit

  • Anon

    That’s John Myung when he’s not playing in Dream Theater

      rofl

    • CYN1C

      Blasphemy! What this guy may resemble to JM in looks and playing ability, JM can easily break it when he tackles him.

  • Scott

    Does it do birthdays?

  • ansiie pansiie

    lol i thought it was jacki chan…

  • myke

    uhhhh why???????

    this cat can play circles around bob tru-crabcore.

  • SourDeez

    Someone needs to get a real job.

  • Shitnuckle

    hahaha the sound of him/she/it gagging and apparently puking was absolutely icing on the cake

  • Poopenshaft

    well he’s definitely the greatest pedophile bassist I ever seen.

  • Viking_xxx

    Does anyone read that language? WTF is going on here and how does the milk fit in? And the cruise ship? And the rubbing of the breasts?!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-Gingras/691170904 Michael Gingras

    this is the best thing I have ever seen

  • Harold

    I think we found the Susan Boyle of Japan.

    Ugly and super talented

  • LoomeyTunes

    Ok, from the screen shot I thought it was going to be some Hot asian chick in panty hose playing a mean bass but minus boobs. Then it started and I saw death staring me right in the face, but “it” can play. Mean joke Vince or whoever put this up I started taking my pants down to the ground then I saw it was a guy……..dont think I will ever be able to have my wife where white stockings to bed again. LMAO

  • SonOF

    I liked when he plays, he has this funny little smirk, like he’s having the time of his life, but his Asian guardedness forces him not to get TOO excited.

    Probably the weirdest thing I have seen in a minute.

    my girlfriend was looking over my shoulder while i watched this one, and she was like ‘wait… they really hired this guy??’

  • lybrium

    that was oddly enjoyable, until the exercising came in…

    crazy Japanese folks
