A few days ago I posted about the popularity of posts about Mt Aso on this page in 2014:

Today I’d like to continue my little series on “posts that got big responses in 2014” with a some popular videos.
The video that got the biggest response (over 8,000 views) was this one by World Order, which features the group dancing in various well-know spots in Kyushu (including Kumamoto):

If you want to see it, though, you need to follow the links to the YouKu (Chinese YouTube) link. You may find that, depending on the time of day, it doesn’t always work. If you are a World Order fan, you can download the video to watch at your leisure without streaming problems.

The second most popular video was this one about sending shock waves through vegetables at Kumadai to turn the insides into juice (the video is better than my explanation):

Third in terms of views (about 1,000) but my own personal favorite is “HAPPY ‘MOKKOSU KUMAMOTO.’” “Mokkosu” is Kumamoto dialect for “stubborn.” “Mokkosu” is frequently referred to as a cultural characteristic (Higo mokkosu) and I think it is used here as a indication of local pride. At any rate, it’s a really fun video in which people dance to Pharrell Williams’ “Happy”:
