The Yatta! video contains an amusing high energy 'boy-band' song from Japan. Initially, it seems like some ridiculous creation from the Japanese Comedy Team, 'Happa Tai'. After some reflection, there does appear to be a little more to this clever music video.With inspiration from the Village People's YMCA song, bibilical reference to only wearing a fig leaf, and visual representations comparable to Japanese comic heroes (e.g. Power Rangers), the viewer can appreciate this very clever and humorous inspirational video.With the Japanese economy suffering a long recession, the morale of the country has been quite low to say the least. This video presents a message to the viewer, 'Yatta!' or "We Did It" in a light-hearted manner that helps one to put things into perspective. Even though there are some critical challenges facing individuals and the country of Japan, the message of the video is to appreciate the basic good things in life such as appreciating clean water, enjoying the warmth of sunshine, being alive, and enjoying time together.The main point of the lyrics is that if one makes changes personally, then one's world will also change too. And, true to Japanese groupism, this is to be done together with the help of others.The messages are reminiscent of 'The Secret' in which one appreciates the positive aspects of one's life and focuses on the feelings of achieving one's goals and objectives. It seems that this little comedy skit actually has a bit more behind it to offer the viewers. I think that is why it's popularity took off in Japan after it's initial airing and why it continues to gain popularity worldwide.Yatta!!! (They Did It!!!)
