Air Man Can’t be DefeatedAugust 13th, 2008
I’m about a year late on this one, but this is the catchiest song. In fact, I sung and hummed the notes the entire time I was on vacation last week. The video has an 8-bit flavor that I just find so nostalgic. It’s by a Japanese band called Team Nekokan.
Watch this:
There is no direct translation for the title, Airman Ga Taosenai. Freely translated into English it’s closest to “Air Man Can’t be Defeated” or “I cannot beat Air Man” The video directly references the art styles of Rock Man 2 on the Famicom, better known to the U.S. as Mega Man 2 on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Keep an eye on the official blog for the band; new videos are listed there first even though you more than likely can’t read it.
If you’re like me and want this song right now, iTunes can deliver along with many other songs by the Nekokan Team!
