The Japanese make me jealous.

First it was that dude who beat Super Mario Bros 3 in less than 12 minutes. And now this...

The Blindfolded Mario Pianist.
He's only blindfolded for the beginning while he's playing the most familiar part, but the video is over ten minutes long, and the blindfold/no-blindfold thing really makes no difference. It's crazy impressive. There are so many sections of this that put a goofy grin on my face, and by the end I was pretty much speechless.

Seriously, I don't know if it's just because of the sentimentality attached to this music, but I think videogame music composers should get more recognition. They need to be more famous.

The piano dude in the video is only 17 by the way. Think about that this holiday season.

It is time for you to understand the origin of a sentiment from long ago. JAPONES is the Spanish word for JAPANESE. Suffice it to say, the title of your blog should have been none other than...
JAPONES!!!!!!
(Let's never forget Moffett as a 5-foot out of control kid.)

Ok, that's all well and good, but what of "Chaputnes" then?

Most invigorating. I particularly enjoyed the action camera technique. Perhaps it was blindfolded Luigi behind the lens. I appreciate the extra effort for what seems to be an otherwise normal moment, noting the 'booty' socks and sleevless tee.

If only Ray Charles could have taken off his blindfold after the first few minutes....
