It's heartwarming to see we all share similar problems globally. And in 2009 they already understood that wearing masks is an act of kindness towards others. Thank you.

Each time I return here this song brightens my day :) I think it is the best of all Complaint Choir performances.
I love the intensity of the guy at 6:25 ...probably because I understand EXACTLY how he feels, plus I got the idea he was having fun with his frustration. I thought of that about a half hour after I first saw this and I wanted to laugh like crazy all over again. (I only restrained myself because I imagined that would only go over so well in a meditation hall.)
In Asian countries, it is normal to wear surgical masks when you're sick so you keep others from getting sick. In the case of song, it is symbolic of Japanese people's tendency to keep complaints to themselves in public settings. Taking the masks off is finally allowing themselves to complain no matter petty it might be.
my japanese teacher showed this to our class when i was in 11th grade and let me tell u... it's been three years since i last saw this video and i was so happy that i finally found it again because it's so funny and relatable even though i dont live in japan or am japanese lmao THANKS MR. PAKISER. U THE REAL MVP.
I think it is really interresting to see what all-day-problems the people from different countrys have! There were some that I could totally understand, because they also happen to me, but some of these things are not important in my life at all, but for japanese people they obviously are! There were also some "stereotypes" that I built out of reading manga and I thought they were just typicall mangastory elements, but they seem to be real! Listen to the other complaint songs and compare!! :)
i like about this that it is much more political than a lot of the other city's/country's complaint choirs! and a-ma-zing music, too!!! very, very well done, indeed!
I actually appreciate the fact that they point out the aspect of cultural difference. Western countries, by which I mean EU and US, always attempt to force their values upon eastern countries, which is totally wrong and ridiculous. I am not Japanese, but I really appreciate this.
lol I use to live in Japan and had to goto Tokyo quite frequently for work XD.. I can relate to the discount cards, and the Oedo line being too crowded... they stuff yo ass in those trains during rush hour.
@francoisancebou Hahaha xD I loled so hard at that!! Anyway, remember that Japan T-shirt I wanted to make there in BA?? Well, I've decided I'll change the kanji at the back for a whale on a plate! LOL xD
@GaijinGDB Oita city has a shop that sells Whale meat, but I don't know if they're still in business. It isn't popular to eat.. I think its just something Japan's elite consumes to be honest.
@LanakilaIesu lol yea man. I use to work in tokyo for a few months. its stressful. the commute and everything.. at the end of the day when you're walking back and some solicitor stops you just verbally abuse them XD
Caught this on Boing Boing. I'm so impressed!! I want to join something like this! And this only makes me want to visit Japan (or even learn the language) so much more. I can't say enough; well done.
@sachiym most japanese don't eat whales or dolphins... I didn't understand why these were put into the lyrics also... I am someone who lives in beppu btw XD
@nikophobic No intentes subir a los trenes llenos, me aplastarán! / Así quiero vivir mi vida, acéptalo / Todos los hombres lindos ya están casados / No puedo preparar mi ropa invernal porque la temperatura baja muy rápido/ Mis piquetes de mosquito sanan muy lento / Den empleos a estudiantes / No me gusta que fumen en el parque / Págame lo que acordamos, para qué hicimos ese contrato? / Tengo sueño en la mañana, día y noche!! Déjenme dormir más!! / Los músicos no podemos ganarnos la vida
@nikophobic Los programas de TV se burlan de la gente / No mandes tus tarjetas de ocasión por e-mail / Las chicas que se maquillan en el tren, ojalá se equivocaran / Iba a dejar a mi novio, pero él me dejó primero / Los políticos no deben ir a clubes con nuestros impuestos / Por favor no ases Kusaya al lado de mi departamento / Ojalá pudiera ir una vez más al concierto de Michael Jackson / El pelo que no quiero crece muy rápido, y el de mi cabeza no crece / Mi bolso es pesado /
@nikophobic Yo hice ese trabajo, no digas que fuiste tú/El gato que vive por mi casa me ignora/Las guarderías están llenas y no tengo dónde llevar a mis hijos/No s´usar mi iPhone/En la sala de espera del hospital me contagié de influenza/Mi jefe hizo que sus errores fueran míos/No hagas parecer tonto al empleado nuevo/Los pelos no deseados crecen muy rápido pero los de mi cabeza no crecen para nada/Tengo miedo cada 3 meses porque eso dura mi contrato/Gana-pierde - atrapado en la sociedad/
@nikophobic Tengo alrededor de 40, pero aún soy atractiva / No quiero cuidar a mi jefe cuando salimos a tomar / Gracias por escuchar nuestras quejas! Me faltó un pedazo que borró CZcams, pero no la pienso volver a poner... :)
@lordblazer, hmm. i amend my comment; politeness - is not _this_ common in Ireland and England - the two places i have lived.... sad to say. A complaint would usually be .. er 'padded out' with much swearing and louder voice! ;)
@nikophobic Los cuervos dan miedo / Mi cuarto es pequeño y la renta es cara / Gana-pierde, gana-pierde, atrapado en esta sociedad / El registro de mi pensión fue borrado y desapareció sin notificación / Es frustrante!/ Las ballenas y delfines son deliciosos! Por favor entiendan la cultura japonesa, no nos culpen / No te piques la nariz y luego agarres los sostenes en el tren / No me manden correos del trabajo los viernes en la tarde / Mi esposa casi no me entiende /
@hypernorton dude don't you gu ys have commercials on the radio telling you to remember to stop at stop signs. I've spent some time in MAlaysia... but you know what. There are crappy drivers everywhere... Come to Texas and you get to see suicidal crappy drivers... people who are on the highway thinking they can go 90 MPH on a 35 degree angle ramp in a really old SUV or pick up truck, only to see them turned over. car wrecks every 2 to 3 miles on the road... texas....
god the let me sleep guy was such a good complaint. this song is beautiful

Each time I return here this song brightens my day :) I think it is the best of all Complaint Choir performances.
I love that it is not only about the big things but also about all the little things that are so annoying in everyday life...

great !!!!
we love this song and the performace too.
Really the best complaints choir!
Thanks for the English subtitles! Great job!
Anyways this is my favourite complaints video... luv the song... hehe cheers to JP!
Love the music, great song! Job well done!

that dude that was screaming to have more sleep would be perfect to join a screamo band. ^_^
Best "Complaint choir" so far...
Oh yes... I hate it when there's shrimp in my presents... happens all the time...
???
This is just adorable. I’m from Helsinki, and I think we have the 2nd best complaints choir, Tokyo being the superior nr 1!
Same here, guy at 6:24. Same here...
The tune of this song is so delightful.
jaja so cool!!!
greetings from mexicoo!
Really good ^^

This must be so therapeutic to everyone involved...
darn it i thought the little girl was going to speak japanese heehee x]
aww the little boy at 08:35! :D
i love complaint choirs heheee
awesome music, talented musicians, very interesting text...guess the best complaint choir
i like about this that it is much more political than a lot of the other city's/country's complaint choirs! and a-ma-zing music, too!!! very, very well done, indeed!
@TbaginANDBuck
Indeed ...you are a master of observation. Many thanks.
Good Performance
I actually appreciate the fact that they point out the aspect of cultural difference. Western countries, by which I mean EU and US, always attempt to force their values upon eastern countries, which is totally wrong and ridiculous. I am not Japanese, but I really appreciate this.
Samba, that's so nice, even a Pandeiro
Good to see such a great sense of humor from the Japanese.
I hate the Oedo sen stairs too. That subway line is like 200 mt deep.
Great video!
but so many ignorant comments below show little understanding of anything..
LET ME SLEEP MORE
ハハッ、すごく面白かったです！やっぱり人は何人でも不平はあまり変わりません。
@Choconou My sentiments exactly!
i love ther dancin around lol
Awesome! No one does wierd stuff better than the Japanese :p
I like the "I don't know how to use my IPhone" at least they are honest.
i have the same hat!
Awesome funny ! XD
Its never been so entertaining to hear complaints
lol I use to live in Japan and had to goto Tokyo quite frequently for work XD.. I can relate to the discount cards, and the Oedo line being too crowded... they stuff yo ass in those trains during rush hour.
Hahahahahaha xDD Why can't I have a whale on a plate in the back of my t-shirt?? LOL! It's so groundbreaking! xP
Dope song. Valid points. Never live in Japan :P
5/5!
@sachiym I agree. I once went to Japan and i didn't see any whale meat for sale.
@mace197
yea, its tough to find and its expensive and its just blubber so it isn't really worth seeking out to try.
cool XD
みんなさん、うたうがすばらしいです。面白いだよ！
Liked the performance. Very interesting. Favorite part was the guy screaming between 6:23 and 6:30. Can totally relate to that. XD
"whales and dolphins are delicious" WTF???
"Please understand our culture"
i've had whale in iceland where it's legal- it is delicious
@arenasification and so it does
@francoisancebou Hahaha xD I loled so hard at that!! Anyway, remember that Japan T-shirt I wanted to make there in BA?? Well, I've decided I'll change the kanji at the back for a whale on a plate! LOL xD
We all LOL-ed at the mask.
Thumbs up if you did!
No offence to Japan!
And we send our greatest condolences to the latest Quake!
7:23 - A Japanese Happyslip! (seriously, look up 'happyslip' on youtube. The resemblance is uncanny)
¿Alguien podría subtitularlo al español?
Se lo agradecería muucho, no hay ningún vídeo del coro de quejas de Tokyo con sub. en español.
Gracias.

I'm sorry I can't....
@LanakilaIesu

Caught this on Boing Boing. I'm so impressed!! I want to join something like this!
And this only makes me want to visit Japan (or even learn the language) so much more. I can't say enough; well done.
Sugoi desu, neh?
Japanese may seem weird to you...but that's because of the cultural difference.
Why got angmo girl
@sachiym
most japanese don't eat whales or dolphins... I didn't understand why these were put into the lyrics also... I am someone who lives in beppu btw XD

it was supposed to be sarcastic. i'm japanese and not much of us actually consume whales and dolphins. haha.
Oh, they started wearing masks so long before the whole world!
ouch
I don't like the smoking in the park either! Or anywhere else.
