Nice find! I love how the mural/tub setting at 0:17 looks kinda like the back of Terauchi Takeshi's All About the Electric Guitar album.

And speaking of Terry, there's a slideshow vid for the Royal Fingers' killer cover of "West Side Guitar," too.

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.

Oh great! Nice funny video!
Yes, hard to find some stuff from japanese surf bands!
This is Sammy! There is also a band with him who is called Wild Sammy & The Royaltones. They had an album out on "One Million Dollar" Records here in Germany. A picture disc! But it`s also out on CD.
If you like the Royalfingers, the Royaltones will blow you away!

I met them on their European tour a few years ago. Fantastic live band!!! Very nice people!
Another nice japanese band was Goggle A. They once played here also years ago. They are also one of the best live bands I met.

Japanese bands are always so professional in playing. Always very stylish, nice guitars, superfunny smiling and stage acting!!!!
Love them!!!

Twaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!!

Nice! Sweet video! These guys really rip it up. Their Wild Eleki Deluxe album is awesome all the way through, and yeah their version of West Side Guitar is so killer, probably my favorite track.

Awesome! Love the Royal Fingers. We've been covering Wild Jet Beach for a while now (Wild Sammy & The Royaltones).

Ha, that was my first thought too!

Some of the best surf/instro bands today definitely comes from Japan.
