Because if you haven't seen this music video, you haven't seen anything.
This song has been puzzling and exciting us westerners in equal amounts (something the Japanese know how to do well). If you've spotted videos of young men and boys sporting nothing but a diaper and a green leaf, proclaiming triumphantly "Yatta!", this is the cause.
The origins of Happatai and their song "Yatta!" date back to 2001, when the song was first performed on a comedy sketch, on the show "Adventures of a Laughing Dog" (笑う犬の冒険, Warau Inu no Bōken) aka "Silly Go Lucky" in the US.
Happatai (also known as the "Leaf Squad" or "Green Leaves") is a parody pop boy band, and we must admit we can't get enough of them.
Just look at them boys!
