Topics: japan, live aid

Remember back in like '84 when all the American celebs did "We are the World" for the Live Aid concernts?

Behold, more proof that television in Japan is lightyears ahead of the crap they show in the U.S.

Japanese people impersonating Bruce, Billy Joel, Lionel Ritchie, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and the gang.

The Cyndi Lauper chick rules!

  No way - I agree with the one youtube comment - the Bruce Springsteen impression completes my life.

  Oh yeah, I posted one kinda similar to that before as a joke to Anok (since it's labelled as "ninja girls in training.")
  
  I have to admit I'm secretly in love with the second girl.

Whenever I see a topic like this from kdawg I know I'll never, ever be disappointed. Funniest thing I've seen all week. The Springsteen guy and the Lauper girl are the best.
