A Victorious Billy
Hi all. Geez it's been too long. Sorry kids, my fault. I hope everyone had a joyous holiday with lots of presents, friends, family and/or merry holiday alcoholic beverages.
One of the items flying off the shelves this season was none other than Biriizu Buutokyanpu. What absolute joy to open a present and discover that your friends think you're fat.
For us non-Japanese we've known Mr. Billy Blanks for years now. He single-handedly sparked North America-wide interest in aerobic boxing. But with the rise of Billy-Billy-Billy it sparked all sorts of competitive ways to get fit and/or lose weight while having a bit more fun. My favorite: Carmen Electra's "Fit to Strip," or as I like to call it, "Lose weight while practicing for a fulfilling career." Ha.
So what does one do when their popularity fades a bit in America? Why, go to Japan, of course! And Billy's Bootcamp quickly caught on. So much, in fact, that Billy's even got himself a top 5 music hit. It's true World, Billy's got his own song. Thankfully, his "singing" in it is minimal. This song is an obvious yet brilliant marketing ploy to sell more Bootcamp DVD's. How can I tell, you ask? It's simple really. If it were Billy's idea I bet it wouldn't be called "Boom Boom Wonderland."
Give it a listen:
What did you think? I'm betting there won't be an English version of this song.

why do the japanese need to work out? why? really, why?
i think that moving rainbow background is hypnotizing, like the teletubbies.
victory! yeah!
Very true. But working out is a big craze currently going on in Japan.
I found Billy's Bootcamp to be difficult to follow by subtitles. And the ads claim his workouts will only require the area of 1 tatami mat, which is untrue if you attempt to execute the perfect sidekick.
But definitely, more power to Billy to strike while the iron is hot.
