Video Games Can Make Lonely Kids Happy… And ROCK!!!
Team Nekokan might be best known for their brilliant Mega-Man music videos. Here’s a non-Mega-Man one, and a slightly touching one at that.
Thanks, Chinpokomon!

@BubbleF**kingBuddy:
@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Wow thanks for that, hahaha. Love the spoons on the eyes part and the vocals were amazing.
@Chibirazi: I really enjoyed this song and the video was awesome, haha. It certainly got me pumped up and now I can't stop thinking about going to an anime convention for some reason...crazy. Maybe I just miss the craziness that this video portrays hahahaha.
@Noctis: FUCK YEAR! You guys should see other artists on youtube like Hyadin who does covers for Rockman, FFIV and VI, and many many others. One that I highly recommend is the artist IOSYS. One of their (in)famous cover songs Marisa Stole The Precious Thing:
In case you do know them, but think their songs are original, here's a bubble burster for you. The original source: Perfect Cherry Blossom - Alice's Theme Doll Judgement

Those busy, but fun days
Just by looking back on them, I can't complain about my current state.
There's not enough money in my wallet (K S K! K S K!)
I don't have any social status or prestige either (D V D! D V D!)
That's Ok! We'll always be with you!
Right! Mercury Venus Earth Mars Saturn Jupiter Uranus Neptune Pluto
I don't even care if I get laid off!
Hey, you're up!
Pinch hitter with the bases loaded. Full Swing!
Dodge dodge dodge the snide remarks, fight back fight back with full power for a homerun.
Those vile rumors, la la la, I can't hear them.
Sounds like someone using video games to escape real life, if you ask me.

I finally just broke down and bought this single off iTunes.

The guys voice sure did change since I Cant beat Airman
hyde_ist
Very amazing videos they put out. So they also did the "I can't Defeat Airman" Video too?
@Chinpokomon: It's always nice to see their videos reaching Kotaku.
I want to get their CDs. But I haven't found an online shop to buy them.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Awesome little video there, thank you. I think it captures the hearts of most of us here, having played videogames growing up, and well, growing up. But hey, as long as we play games, our inner-child will never be far out of reach. And thank God for that, as adulthood would be pretty boring otherwise.
"Ultraman! Ultraman! SEVEN!"
@Rozeros: Anime is in a strangely, uplifting league of its own.
@Chinpokomon: My thanks and ever lasting gratitude. I will keep my eye on you...

@Chinpokomon: I read your post thinking you had an answer and at the end you say you don't
Way to get my hopes up :(
0:31 - 0:39 cracked me up.

Man I'd watch that anime. if it was real.
Thanks for posting this, Brian!
Sorry for sending in an old video.
I just found the video recently, and thought it was cute.
Please forgive me, oh kotaku-elite.

And here's my translation:
I've got the latest game system, but it's boring on my own.
I watch from behind as others play.
Well, that's all for today....No way!
The home phone rings [Hey, let's play soccer!ã€(Accelerate! Accelerate!) (*ksk = kasoku)
I was stubborn, and turned them down. (Totally clueless! Totally Clueless!) (*mky = maji kuuki yomenai)
When you're all alone, what do you do?
That's right! Monday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday, wanna play with me?
When you and you and you and you and you and you and me hold hands,
we can do anything, what do you want to do?
Your smile speeds up the clocks hands.
As the sun sets, I tell you "See you tomorrow"
Even when I'm just fooling around, I'm looking for someplace.
Somewhere over the days I can't return to.
When ever I'm lonely, this is probably what I'd do.
All together! (So exited! So excited!) (*wktk = wakuteku)
I hope this message gets to you, in front of the screen.
Your hand is in mine.
We can go anywhere. Where shall we go?
Your smile makes the clocks hands go faster.
At the speed of light, I tell you "Thank you"
There's a second verse here:
+ Watch video
Concusion:
I have no idea what this song is about.

@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Always time to post that!
@AnalysisDialysis (and a MudkipNDS): What the hell did he say! I need to know!!! I need to stop slacking off and get back to work! But its driving me CRAZY! ARRRRRRRGGGHHH >:[

Is that really the point of the video? Video games can make lonely kids happy?
The video seems about a kid who got a new game system and wants to play with the girl he likes but he never can cause whenever he invites her over the game system gets taken over before they can play together. It's kinda sad actually
@Van_Occupanther: lolwut
@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Thanks for posting that. twas super sweet.
nekocomet the dejected
@Van_Occupanther: Ah. That explains your psychology of speaking. Good show, my friend, good show.
@Noctis: Somebody fetch me a decoder!!
@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Those are the best Japanese vocals i have ever heard!
@Noctis:
I don't think many people know about Team Nekokan. :P
Greo
I wanna listen to guilty gear music now....
Haha I cant help but getting pumped up everytime I hear their songs.
Really its heartwarming.
Go Go Team Nekokan (。^‿‿^。 )

@Alternate: No such thing. It's like girls on the internetz.
@Van_Occupanther: .....I don't even....???!?!?!
I love Team Nekokan. I was surprised to when I saw almost 20 of their songs at one of the karaoke places I frequent. Although I can only sing them with certain groups of friends. lol
@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Loved the video. Thanks for posting.
...Now back to my quarter life crisis ^_^'

Alternate
I guess my videogame friend would be Seaman. Oh, the conversations we'd have: "Yes." "No." "Hello." He really brought me out of my shell.
