Not That Mike The Other Mike

It’s time for the Autumn Music Festival in Japan, and tom-tomcat Maru gets reluctantly snared into helping his human drum up support.

    Finally putting the tail thwapping to good use!

    I saw taiko drummers from Japan at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Philly a few years ago. Very cool.

    His tail never stops moving, so it’s got to be powerful! :3

    I don’t know who is funnier: Maru, or his slave-person.

      I agree catslave, setting that all up they must have been cracking up. It so wonderfully weird and silly. 😀

    That drum is gorgeous! I wonder where she got it — maybe from a local school or music group that uses it to help train younger drummers? it’s certainly perfect for Maru! Play that funky music, Cat Boy!

    I give this video a 10. Nice beat and you can dance to it.

    Sly.

      Noice. I was also thinking of headlining this “Meower Drum Song” but that references a musical about Chinatown, not Japan.

        Noice. Back at choo.
