Bringing Back That Old...Japanese...Rap!

Welcome back, everyone! It is once again Friday and you know that if you are here then you came to find out the biggest twenty videos on the planet! It is officially time for…

Chachi’s Top 20 Video Countdown!

Let’s begin with Falling Out:

Kid CuDi – Day and Night (Peaked at #18)
HALCALI – LONG KISS GOODBYE (Peaked at #2)


Kid CuDi had a short run while Halcai is biding their time for their second video to hit of 2009. We start off THIS week with a new video from a new artist!

20. Shion Tsuji – Sky Chord ~Otona ni Naru Kimi he~ (New Entry)

This week starts with what may be my favorite Bleach ending of all time! The video for “Sky Chord” is simplicity at its finest and actually reminds me a lot of a YUI video. Which is an awesome thing to have. Can’t wait for the single!
19. Paramore – Decode (Last Week #17)
Paramore falls two spots this week and it looks like their ride off of Twilight is over. Even though I love some Paramore…but I hate Twinkle.
18. UVERworld – 99/100 Damashi no Tetsu (New Entry)

Another day, another brand new UVERworld video! But this video is about as awesome as they have put out since Zero No Kotae two years ago. They are rocking HARD for the first time in a long time!
17. Game feat Ne-Yo – Camera Phone (Last Week #15)
Game and Ne-Yo falls two spots this week as they fell short from making the Top Ten as a duo. Maybe next time…
16. BoA – Eat You Up [Korean Version] (Last Week #13, Four Weeks at #1)
So March 27th is the day that BoA will grace me with her English presence. That album needs to hurry up and get here before I freaks the hell out!
15. BoA - Eien (Last Week #18)
Speaking of BoA….MORE BOA! Now in Japanese form which is interesting because I am not sure if she is releasing a Japanese album at the same time or not. Either way, the more BoA, the better.
14. Ikimonogakari – Kimagure Romanteikku (Last Week #11)
Ikimonogakari falls three huge spots this week and I have to say that this video has been on here for a long time. One of the longest running videos and rightfully so. It makes me smile. Like Snoopy!
13. Young Jeezy featuring Nas – My President Is Black (Last Week #14)

Jeezy and Nas move up another spot this week as we move closer to the Top 10. I am really beginning to like Young Jeezy, and considering how much I wished him pain two calendar years ago it is an accomplishment.
12. Nana Mizuki – TRICKSTER (Last Week #8, Plunge of the Week)
Nana falls from the Top Ten for the first time since 2008! She has a new video but there have been a rush of new videos that have kept it out. Maybe next week?
11. John Legend – Everybody Knows (Last Week #16, Biggest Mover)
Mr. Legend is looking for his seventh Top Ten video and he is doing it in quick fashion! He hops up five spots this week to number eleven and is looking like maybe a sixth number one video is in his future!
10. Kanye West – Heartless (Last Week #6)
We start the Top Ten with a mainstay that falls a HUGE four spots this week. Kanye West falls from number six and ends his string of Top Five videos in a row. Hopefully he will bring us “Amazing” next.
9. B.o.B. – I’ll Be In The Sky (Last Week #12)

B.o.B. is in the Top 10! He moves up a big three spots this week and is now up here with the veterans! However, with tracks under his belt with Ludacris and T.I. I think he will fit in just fine. WHERE IS THE ALBUM, FOOL?!
8. Aqua Timez - Velonica (Last Week # 4)
Aqua Timez falls from the Top Five this week after failing to take the top spot from YA-KYIM three weeks ago. BLEACH HAS TURNED BACK THE CLOCK, FOOL! CHECK IT OUT!
7. BACK-ON – flyaway (Last Week #10)
BACK-ON continues to move up this week as they look to go farther than they have since “Chain” three years ago. I wonder when this single is coming out because I NEEDS IT AND I NEEDS IT NOW!
6. Jesse McCartney – It’s Over (Last Week #9)

J-Mac moves up three spots this week and he is just outside the Top 5! He may be filling the void that J-Tim has left over the last two years since he has been gone. Best to strike while the King is away. Into the Top Five!
5. Joe Inoue – Closer (Last Week #3)
After coming close to the top as you can without taking the throne, Inoue Joe falls two spots this week and back to Earth. However, A NEW VIDEO IS OUT! HELLS YES!
4. NERD – Sooner or Later – Away (Last Week #7)
NERD has quietly made their way into the Top Five for the second time. I am still all about this song on my phone and man…the video pretty much makes me despise the bailout. Such is life, peeps. We are down to three!
3. YA-KYIM respects SEAMO - SA IKOU! (Last Week #5)

YA-KYIM and SEAMO move into the Top Three this week and makes history! I have to say that on the YA-KYIM RESPECTS mini-album, this is my favorite song. The video has a “1980’s threw up on it“ feel which I can’t complain about because the 80’s had its moments. Now, for a bit of a shocker…
2. YA-KYIM respects KOME KOME CLUB – Kimi Ga Iru Dake De (Last Week #1, Four Weeks at #1)

Ya-kyim - kimi ga iru dake de
by vero147
WE HAVE A NEW NUMBER ONE VIDEO! After a month long reign for these three ladies, YA-KYIM falls from the top! Also, YA-KYIM is the first group in the three year history of the Countdown to have two videos in the Top Three! Kanye had two but they were as a guest performer. Congrats, ladies! However, they are runners up this week which means we have new champs!
1. RSP with DA BUBBLE GUM BROTHERS – LA.LA.LA LOVE SONG (Last Week #2. One Week at #1)

RSP x BGB = #1!! After a long FOUR MONTH TREK, RSP finally takes the number one spot! I have to say it was well worth the ride, peeps! I love this song and I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Can’t beat the BGB with all their wackiness. Congratulations!

That is all for this Friday! Tune in a week from right now to see if RSP x BGB can make it two straight weeks on top! Or will YA-KYIM take one of their TWO videos in the Top Three to the top? See you in seven to find out!

Well, I will be back late tonight and then it is Gabriel Iglesias tomorrow in D-Town. Stay up ya’ll, I will try to be back on Sunday.

Chachi Out.
