Shin Yamato Damacy: Ep. 1
Written by Jeshii on 2008.08.21 – 14:30 -My excellent friend Luka has started Shin Yamato Damacy, which you could say is a spin off of Yamato Damacy. In their first episode, they ask people (I think around Maebashi station XD) who they would want to be.
I can’t believe Doraemon lost to Kitajima.

Yamato Damacy
Written by Jeshii on 2008.08.21 – 14:11 -If you know anything about me, you know that I lived in Japan for 3 years and that I made a series of videos while I was there with my friends Rahman and Luka.
The name comes from 大和魂 (yamato damashii), which is a phase roughly translated as “Japanese Spirit,” and is generally a nationalistic phrase. You’d never hear a 外人 (gaijin) saying it… which is why we used that name. It goes along with the surprise everyone had at us foreigners speaking Japanese.
It was a lot of fun. And people seemed to like it. But since I haven’t been able to do anything nearly as big, it makes me feel like a total internet-famous has-been. ><; The best episodes are as follows:
Episode 9: Setsubun
This episode was the BEST. Dressed up as an 鬼 (oni), I ran out of a phone booth to scare people.
Episode 3: Karaoke
This episode was funny just for the end, if nothing else.
Episode 10: Vanity Project
On the whole, we usually would just do interview videos. But in this one, we were fed up showing others, and just made a short film featuring us. It turned out okay, but people really seemed to like it.
Episode 29: Vanity Project 2
This episode was the prequel to Episode 10. The editing and cheesy dialogue make this a classic.
You can see all the episodes on YouTube:

[Update] I now have pages set up for each of the Episodes here at Yamatologic. Go check them out!
