Tokyo Rockabilly

Imagine walking around Tokyo seeing these dude in a park thinking that they're yakuza members with Glock 26s in their waist and then after 15 minutes you start seeing them busting sick moves to old rockabilly songs.

[순두부찌개한개]

he really be walking ion the street of tokyo looking hot like this every day. WHat a man.

[melodyfairymeadow]

they should interact with more rockabilly communities around the world. there are many people still into the style and from newer generations too.

This is the same dude in the 5soc Youngblood I fucking fell in love with him

[imwritingapoemaboutit]

after watching this video I've become 10x cooler, my hair is slick af, and my hip thrusts are sharper

[Aranelyn]

ok, but the story about highschooler Johnny going to Jack's Store and have a full transformation is so cool, just like a movie.

[bisaf]

The shop owner is so chill. Would even pay to see him perform, lol.

[Formerlyi]

he actually drives a left side steering car in japan. that's totality

[JorkinMyPeanitss]

I barely know who 5sos really are, but I'm so glad they gave these people exposure in their music video! I honestly hope this lifestyle doesn't die off

So that's why in many 80s anime the cool guys were dressed in a Rockabilly attire 😮

When I first came to Japan in 1995, the dancing Elvises where in Harajuku. Last year (I made a video on my channel about Harajuku) I saw them again after 24 years. Some of the same guys were there, albeit with gray hair. I am glad they are still doing the thing they love. Kudos to them!

In the 1989 film, "Mystery Train", Jim Jarmusch does a great job capturing the 1950's Americana-Japanese inspired rockabilly culture in the first part of the story. Almost 30 years later, it's great to see that it's still starring under the radar in places like Piso Studio's, "Delinquent Hamsters"- the animated series featuring a Japanese man with a pompadour, rockabilly style, and naughty hamsters who curse, have 'bad boy' hair styles, and get into trouble. <3
I'm glad that I watched this. When I was younger, it was also my uncle who got me into rockabilly, along with a lot of other great music. He changed my life forever.

Not until the 5:16 mark did I realise I've seen this guy live. Went on a family trip to Japan about 4-5 years ago and we chose a random venue/bar to go into and this great rockabilly style band played live, this guy was in the exact same red suit and had the same hair along with a cute Japanese girl singing in a polka dot dress. Guitarist was amazing as well, lots of drunk Japanese business men were there as well, one of who got us all up off our table and dancing on the floor with everyone else. Was such an amazing night, highlight of the trip.

Johnny Pandora made me become a Rockabilly again. Since September 2019 when I first saw this video I was cached and into Rockabilly and 50s lifestyle again. I hope I can meet him one day. I want to thank him for bring me on the right way.

5SOSのPVに出てるのってこの人達だったのか！
役作りかと思ったけど、本当に好きなんだね

[kuroakikitsune]

I am obsessed with the song youngblood (never liked any 5sos before) but the mv goes so well with the song and they pull the rockabilly off so well. I'm glad I found this video as it is pretty interesting, but 2:54 to 3:02 I was not expecting that, lol.

[cybermek]

This dude is like a living 50's fashion person, not only representing the clothing style, but living the lifestyle as best as he can!

[zxbarr]

These are the guys from that 5sos song! Anyway, this whole culture seems very interesting ♡

[eyraxiao]

thanks to youngblood! he really suits as a rockstar

[whossoul]

This is so great! I love to see how there's still rockabilly followings all over the world! It's sad he said that most of the people in Japan who follow it are older. In the U.S., the U.K., and Australia there's tons of young people getting into the style!
