Japanese Beatboxer Covers Touhou's "Bad Apple!!"

posted on by Daryl Bunao
Daily Video: Super Mario, Street Fighter beatboxer Hikakin covers Touhou classic

Using a vast array of vocal manipulation, Japanese entertainer Hikaru "Hikakin" Kaihatsu has made a name within the hip hop sub-genre known as beatboxing. In a video released earlier this month, Kaihatsu tackled "Bad Apple!!" a musical track from the third game of the Touhou franchise, Lotus Land Story.

Previously, Kaihatsu has gained attention with beatbox renditions of video games Super Mario Bros. and Street Fighter II.

The popularity of "Bad Apple!!" extends from a viral video that was posted on Japanese video website Nico Nico Douga in late 2009 using Adobe After Effects to create an entirely black and white montage of Touhou characters.
