The underground rap battle for Japanese businessmen

Corporate culture in Japan involves strict hierarchy and long hours that have led to cases of death from overwork – so some 'salarimen' started an underground rap battle to let off steam, express themselves ... and say things to each other they never could in the office

The Guardian YouTube network:

This is respectful and just straight up badass in my opinion....salute!

This should have more views! I know Japan (and the world actually) has a big problem with stress and overwork, so this looks like a fun a cool way to relieve it!! Great stuff!!

[SatoSasaki]

This is so great, why doesn’t it have way more views though??

[khalidmohamud]

wtf 🤦‍♂️, they seem to be having a blast tho, can't hate

[public.public]

why is the guardian only presenting performance art in the culture section?

[JimmyKillem]

far better than the battles you can find on youtube because these guys have a struggle and those spoiled losers doing this as a career don't

[hubalahu]
