Beethoven's 5th Sung in Japanese

This hilarious rendition of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is entitled "Asagohan" and is sung entirely in Japanese. From the YouTube comments, it appears that the lyrics are largely about what to order for breakfast.



(Thanks, Craig!)

Sugoi desu. Honto ni sugoi desu!

Trust the Japanese to come up with something this wacky. That conductor reminds me of Maestro Franz Streseman from a Japanese show called Nodame Cantabile.
