Japanese Fad! The Bottom Biting Bug Song - Oshiri Kajiri Mushi
October 28th, 2007 by Mike
Every once in a while a new craze takes over Japan, usually in the form of a children’s song. The song will hit the top of the Japanese music charts and stay there for months. Every little kid will memorize the song and believe it or not so will quite a few adults. Once the song becomes popular a dance will be choreographed for it and kids will study hard to learn it.
Right now that song is Oshiri Kajiri Mushi -The Bottom Biting Bug Song I have no idea who thought of it but they are probably making millions from it. Not only that, but I’ll bet that if you spend a day shopping in Japan, you’ll hear it being played in at least one place. It’s a funny song and is actually kind of catchy.
Learn this song, or at least the “Oshiri Kajiri Mushi” part and you’ll totally impress all of your Japanese friends!

It’s a true classic, right up there with Crazy Frog and the Teletubbies. Spread the word and get this song a Grammy!
