Nyango Star: The Heavy Metal Cat Mascot Saving A Japanese Farm (HBO)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 янв 2019
- Nyango Star is one of Japan’s most popular mascots, but you might know him best as a meme.
He’s an apple that’s been inhabited by the spirit of a dead cat, and he absolutely shreds on the drums. Very cute but also very metal.
Nyango Star is what’s known in Japan as a yuru-chara - which translates loosely to “chill mascot.”
Japanese yuru-chara can represent everything from police departments to restaurants to government initiatives.
Nyango Star represents Kuroishi City - a farming community in Japan’s northern prefecture of Aomori - where the population is declining and aging. But Kuroishi’s mayor is hoping Nyango Star’s viral success will help the shrinking town maintain economic viability.
VICE News went to Japan to meet with Nyango Star and his management team and get an inside look at yuru-chara culture in Japan.

WATCH NEXT: The water in the Great Salt Lake is dropping precipitously because of high water usage and several years of drought. Experts say the lake has five years left unless more water is conserved. The loss of the lake would send ripple effects throughout the region. - ruclips.net/video/e_c7Oja2Smo/видео.html
Hey as a follow up video, you could have your journalists take the place of the drum set and hand Nyango a pair of hammers 👍
⁴r
Classic vice you know there is an agenda hidden in the video.
the so called "american mascots" that prowl the Tourst straps for photo and money are NOT real mascots, they are migrants just trying to get photos for money, they work for them selfs with cheep knock off costume's, REAL mascots work for a company, or represent a cooperation, theme part or sports team, with expensive costumes and copyrighted character's,
Well, if the lake is shrinking, the ripple effect won't be very large, at least.

This. I also noticed his voice is extremely hoarse, which may indicate the amount of substance he has to consume to play like that.

That was so metal
Kuroishi is my father's country and also my official ID country.
But me too. It's too country to go....haha...XD
Like just imagine...you get good at drumming throughout your teens, maybe played in some death metal bands and teared it up enough with licks so sick that you later represent an entire city, get involved with the government, and you're a viral sensation. This man is a legend

We are having economic problems. What we need is a drummer.
Well, this is a first.

This is too awesome
"We need a drummer to boost the economy!"
"Are you an idiot, that's a terrible idea"
"Ok, how about a drummer.. in a cute costume?"
"GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE!"
Tell this to the FED.
Japan needs a drummer while USA needs a new war, nothing out of ordinary.
“He’s an apple that’s been inhabited by the spirit of a dead cat.”

🤣
I think the most interesting and "Japanese" element to this story is when they mention that the guy in the NyangoStar costume doing the drumming is also the creator of the character who owns the trademark and collects its revenue, and his identity is a secret. That's just so different than how a trademark and brand like that would be handled in the West.
There's nobody inside the costume, just pure chaotic energy
Hahhah
is not a costume its a seal to contain his red chakra from escaping
if you take off the suit its just another suit
Don’t forget the dead cat! Good lord..
I'd like to imagine that if an eye or body part falls off there's no person underneath and just a dark empty void
You're saying my ugly ass could become a full time mascot in Japan and take cute pictures all day??
pastapooper *all our ugly assess
Yup and mine too
Yep, except imma be a lit kazoo player!
ALRIGHT IM BOUTTA MAKE A NYAROME COST-wait he’s not my character
You have to understand Japanese. Luckily, you don’t have to speak!
the explanation of "why" his name is "Nyango Star" fucking killed me LOL I get the reasoning, but the dry Japanese delivery of it was just too much for me LOL "Nyango Staru desu" LOL
The absolute cheekiness of "What do apples, cats, and The Beatles drummer Ringo Star have in common?"
And the interviewer awkwardly giggled 😂
The fact that he's supporting his community.
Makes him an instant inspiration
I've known him for years. I've seen him for years. But only now did I know he is an apple.
An Apple cat to be exact.
Inhabited by the spirit of a dead cat
A Child Metal Apple Cat to correct all of you
The most metal cat i've seen i finalize for you all
He looked like a red blood cel first time I saw his video
Does he make you want to visit Kuruishi?
"No, I don't."
*Mission Failed, we'll get em next time.*
I died at that one
@@JarmanovicIvan ... still laughing, and getting short of vreath
What a way to end lmao
Lol it was fast and blunt the man did not even think about it
At lest he spoke with truth lol 😂
seeing Nyango picking apples added 10 years to my life span
😂❤
"Does he make you want to visit Kuroishi ?"
"No, I don't want to."
They could have interviewed someone else, edited this out, but nope. They just had to kill the whole vibe.
Vice journalism.
Yes. And the answer of a single person is not representative at all.
I doubt very much if 20 year old metal fans are the target demographic of their tourism push. But, as they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity.
The point for me was that this young man was surprised by what he saw, and bought some merch even though he wouldn’t have expected he would do that before seeing the show. He spent money after seeing Nyango Star just once. In ten years maybe he’ll take his young family to Kuroishi and say “this is where Nyango Star is from!” - marketing can be a long game as well as a short one.
i think it’s important to keep honest true responses in even if it’s not what the producers or audience want!
It was funnier when I though it was just some guy that was hired to do a children's show and forced into a stupid suit.
@jevon magnus it isnt tho, he trademarked that suit himself which means it was his in the first place
@@moremannners He's a hero and an inspiration, an incredible self-made drummer makes a goofy suit and becomes a star, he's what many Americans wish they could do. Nyango Star is my hero.
Then there’s CHIITAN
Now it’s a guy that was hired to save a whole city’s economy with the power of Apple cats and heavy metal!
TOUGH MAN RANDY SAVAGE Just think of it as classic plot development. He started out being forced into the stupid suit and now he’s been called to do bigger things for the people. The reluctant hero arc!
He's a super talented drummer, he's saving a farm, and his name is a three-layer pun. The holy trifecta of internet glory and fame right here.
japan loves puns
Japan's humor is great
all pokemon are puns too
All anime characters’ names are puns too
Why are we all assuming the drummer is a guy?? Their gender has never been revealed lmfao.
I'm a 73 year old lady. I saw the original video of this character.
The talent is totally awesome.
Good for sharing this with us here in the USA 🇺🇸.
I wish the town only the best.. 💖💗🌟🌟🌟🌟💗💖
Rumor has it that behind Nyango Star is Kawakita Nao ,better known by HER stage name Nao the drummer of MAXIMUM THE HORMONE.
*"No, I don't"*
And then the documentary ends
Yeah... bad ending though
Guess it makes it feel more candid
And you realize the Nyango Cat guy is getting all the revenue of his merch
@@bingbonghafu I don't see the problem though. He's still helping the place with tourism and he put in the physical and creative work behind the character. He's just like any artist/celebrity.
Juan Fernando Buniao how it was a good ending it just reconfirms japan is dying an desperate towns really are giving away free houses
"He's an apple that has been inhabited by the spirit of a dead cat"
I like how Japan continues to be kawaii and metal AF at the same time
Yes indeed
BabyMetal is a good example of this haha
Since the war , the Japanese have in my eyes become the most honorable people on this planet.
Exactly 🤭
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 they've always been very honorable, thats why america used the atom bombs because they wouldn't surrender
My bf used to live in Iwamizawa, a small town in Hokkaido, back when he was working as an assistant English high school teacher. Their mascot, Iwamichan, is a smiling onion that gives me Kirby vibes. Perhaps he's not as talented as Nyango Star, but I enjoy his presence nonetheless.
This makes me want a mascot for my town.
I love how Japan incorporates the arts into their economic growth, more countries could learn from the Japanese
He's not just a celebrity in Japan, he's a celebrity in my heart.
@Igno Rantsounds like a communist propaganda

Made me cringe a bit that they went with that angle. Gotta dig dirt on a Japanese metal drummer dead cat apple mascot of all things. -.-' I never heard of the city before this video and the mascot brought me here.
3yrs later he's still epicly strong. I love hearing stories about creative people being justly rewarded for their creativity.😊
"does it make you want to visit kuroishi?"
"no, I don't."
*video ends*
Oh... OK...
that's exactly what i thought. what were they thinking? what was the point of all that?
The city is saved! ...wait, what??!
I think the point is that, well at least from the video that even though Nyango Star is popular and making some bank, a lot of the money is not going back to the city nor are people wanting to visit.
exactly, I was thinking: well, what a happy note to end it on...
The point is that it's GG for the town dude.

I laugh out loud because of that 😂 that was cute but funny
What deep meaning? Apple + meowing + The Beatles reference?
Печерога Євгенія well i get the apple part, Apple is the record company that produces the Beatles records. Meowing? Could be the fact that john lennon had cats. So that could also being another reasoning for the name.

@@lunahetfield no, Apple is Ringo in Japanese. And "Nya" is Japanese for meow. Apple + Kitty = Nyango. Ringo Starr was a drummer for the Beatles. Nyango Starr, not hard to understand
The Japanese culture is so right for Nyangostarr. I can't help but truly smile as I enjoy this tale as it's told. Thank you for having the heart to support him and also share him with the world. This is sooo cool!💕

05:05 " Do you think part of the appeal is the kind of human element, of imagining the person drumming that hard inside a very hot, sweaty costume ?"
I would unironically travel all the way to Japan to attend a Nyango Star concert.
it just ends with the most sour note after all this business stuff
"no, i don't"
Honestly though, I don't see why it would help the prefecture at all. Especially when he goes on tours mostly outside Aomori.
Then again, it was just one guy they interviewed. We can't be sure his opinion represents the majority.
There will be some people who will be interested in both metal drumming and visiting a rural city. I commend the Nyango Star.
The guy that makes Detective Conan come from a small town and people travel their to explore it.
They have created statues from the anime and placed them all around the town..
I bet at least people will buy the apples with his logo on them which come from his town.
I mean it’s not like Star owes the city any reputation or money. He made himself who he is. He’s being generous by trying to give something to the city, but in the end it’s the consumer who decides
Homeless bird uwu
They're making it seem like he's greedily doing it all for himself pointing out he's making money from Merch. No shit, the man or woman under the costume got to eat, pay for rent and transportation. Under the costume is another person like us that needs to make a living, take care of family and save for future. While all this is happening, the city is helped. Why can't it be both way without needing to donate all the money.
Can't be doing all this for free.
Dead cats possessing apples need to eat too
true
I hate when socialist leaning people try to make working people feel guilty for What they have earned.
This creature is not a person, it's a fricking *DEAD* *CAT*
nyango star is a girl
They picked the most anticlimactic ending lmao

A Nyango Starr crossover with Aggretsuko seems inevitable. I need it
Ikr!? That would be sugoi! I would die.
Okay, that would be awesome! Aggretsuko is probably the only other one of these mascots I like (maybe because she's more "real" with the issues she tackles as I too am an adult) but red pandas are also something you don't hear too much about. Both of these two would be absolutely perfect performing together.
omg... YAS!
AAAA
Also “That would be sugoi!”
gtfo
The great thing about Nyango Star is that you can't just dress anyone up as Nyango Star unless they're just as talented of a drummer.
It is like Dr Who.
Agreee
Amen to that ... they gotta shred good on the drums!
Yeah there’s a woman who I think lives in the area who can shred and who is almost definitely Nyango Star for that reason
Not just a costume, an identity
Interviewer asked about where the money goes. Why do you care?
Nyangostar has got a cause, which actually helps Aomori prefecture. And on top of that, Nyangostar does all the drumming AND provides work for lots of people. AND it hasn't unleashed his immensurable power just yet.
Of friggin' course, it deserves all the direct revenue.
The answer was a very "Tatemae" way of saying "FU B*tch". Kudos to the Japanese dude.
Vice should be called "Biased" with all their socialist interviewers who will never have an ounce of respect for hard-working talented anybody.

Japan's love for cute things is so adorable
It does make me want to visit Kuroishi 😊. Although, it might be a bit difficult since I know only two languages that aren't Japanese.
It's really important to change the image of the word "rural" area since people tend to think those areas are somewhat backwards or empty. Plus job opportunities and available entertainment contribute to the image of a town 👀.
They ARE backwards and empty. Authoritarianism ALWAYS begins in a farm house.
When you said "An apple possessed by the dead spirit of a cat", I froze
When did anyone say "possessed"?
I smiled
I thought it was just an apple cat
If you froze,turn on your heating! ;-) But seriously, I think, it´s not an SOO surprising thing. The guy who invented it, is japanese (hello kitty / Pokemon) and he plays Death Metal / Black Metal double bass blast beat drums.... I like Nyango Star sooo much. I hope i can get a little Nyango Star for my living room and my car... But unfortuenally I didn´t find the figure here in germany......
OOPS sorry I forgot to unfreeze my character while playing... I've unfreezed you

Good meme 10/10

Tyrone bad interview technique and editing, thnx mericajap
Yeah, it framed the whole thing in a somewhat derogatory light... basically saying "this dude is making lots of money doing something silly, and it has nothing to do with the city trying to capitalize on his popularity"
It's Vice. What did you expect?
Not really, the ending has him saying no i dont then shows him drumming away in a way that says who cares? Its still freaking cool
"It's taboo to mention that it's a human in a costume"
*Mentions that it's a human in a costume in the interview*
Maybe it's just me being a weird non-Japanese person, but I'd actually like to know a) why the hell it's a taboo and b) what the fascination with these costumed mascots is. She covered both things with her question and even though she didn't get an answer we get an interesting response which would be a great starting point for another documentary.
@@Crayzier its like why you can't see BABYMETAL girls outside their costumes/onstage/lore videos.
@@Crayzier to keep them fantasy Japanese kid like those mascots and buy those merch, same as in Disneyland or something like that. That why they are forbidden to take their costume to ruin the fantasy or something like that
@@Crayzier I imagine it's like publicly acknowledging that "Santa Claus" at the mall is just a fat man in a costume. Everyone knows it's true, but you don't want to be the one breaking the illusion.

isnt there enough GAY in the world already?
Metal Core :D Gays that enjoy great music apparently.
Where I am (UK) there are many small towns and cities in the countryside that have been dealing with similar problems as Kuroishi city has, but there are a few that have managed to recover and grow through the export of local talents in things like music and art through hosting local music festivals, arts festivals and other cultural events. These events may only happen once or twice a year or so but it's enough to boost the local economy so that the town can survive on its usual sources of income like farming and fishing. They draw people out of the cities to come visit the area for a few days, bring in a lot of interest in the local area, and makes lots of jobs for locals which encourages people to stay living there rather than moving to find work elsewhere. Perhaps Nyango Star can be used for a similar purpose to help the town. Set up a festival or event of some kind for a couple of days where you invite whatever artists are willing to play there and try and get more people into the city for longer than just a few hours so they can really experience the local area and engage with the local economy. When you bring in so many people for that long other companies will begin expanding to accommodate the visitors like local restaurants, hotels and shops which will produce more jobs which will keep more young people in the city and reverse the flow of people leaving the area. There are small towns here that end up having people come from all over the world to experience and take part in such events, I can certainly see Kuroishi city managing the same thing if they can manage to make it work.
If I were to go to Japan, a picture with nyango star would be the best souvenir

This might be the best reporting Vice has ever done
Finally! This should put all those cynics who keep saying that Vice doesn't cover _real_ news any more to flight. If a heavy metal drumming apple/cat hybrid isn't serious news, I don't know what is!
Vice is amazing! The fact that they take the time to go in depth on some of the most random shit is great! And when it comes to like legit, major shit, they give you some very real insight.

Vice wouldn’t do anything where they wouldn’t gain a profit from 🤣
Do you really think this small rural farming community will do international shipping? Especially if you're getting a fragile item? I think they only ship within the country. So unless you want to set yourself up a Japanese PO box, and get the item sent from that community to that PO box, and then have the PO box forward it to you wherever you are in the world, sure.
"Collaboration with Hello Kitty."
Should've been with Aggretsuko instead. Oh how metal it would be

Aomori apple's juice is the best apple juice i ever taste in my life . I'll pay premium price if they sell them in US .
Agree. The sweetness of the apple is a bit...different to me as compared to other apples, well at least to me.
I know right
I feel like most Japanese produce and their byproducts are of higher quality than what we get over in the US.
Same goes for their premium grapes. Kyoho grapes are the sweetest i have ever tasted.
Interesting...do they made in to cider/wine also?
Dude, I’m American and I want to visit Kuroishi. Epic metal apple-cat aside, I love visiting orchards.
