U900

I don’t know what’s going on here and I love it and I could watch it over and over for hours. The music is by U900, a Japanese Ukulele duo. Let me repeat that because OMG I’ll never get the chance to type those words together again: Japanese Ukulele duo.

If anyone knows who produced the animation and created the toys, please let us know!

    “The music is by U900, a Japanese Ukulele duo.”

    Actually it's an old classic surf instro by The Ventures, who by the way are hugely popular in Japan :)

    Great video, I loved it! Thanks for posting!

    this is so contagious, and that video, super simple yet so effective – and cute! I might walk up to random strangers and sing that chorus today (not really, but maybe)

    Youtube channel – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-VWdPGGTT8&feature=player_embedded

    He knits these at home and then sits in the coffee shop all day long animating – awesome guy.

    the three most amazing words i've seen together today: “Japanese Ukulele Duo”

  • philcoman

    Wow, two Japanese crazes — cute characters and knitting representational objects — unite triumphantly with the current Western madness for ukuleles. Love this animation!

    I don't know who created the toys, but they're classic amigurumi style. Basically it's a style of crocheted stuffed toys that started in Japan and became very popular in North American crochet circles a few years ago. You can find loads of patterns similar to these online.

    Great video all 'round, loving it!

    According to the other vids in the end “Kerokeroking” did it. Gives a few clues when googling it, alltho their own site seems to be in japanese.

    I don't know who made the toys, but I do know that the island in the background is called Enoshima, which is off the coast of Kamakura. Great place to visit and watch the sun go down at the restaurant on the top while you feed leftovers to hawks.

    Thank you, Luc! The best part is that there's a few other videos of this amazing duo.

    Fun huh? :) I love that they're playing old Ventures tunes too. It's all a tad psychedelic or something! Haha!
