Do you guys remember last week when we took a nice look at Fukuoka Kanbe Girls and remarked that, ha, isn’t it neat how idols are part of any tourism marketing department’s promotional arsenal?

Well, step that up a little bit, and you get Banzai Japan (Twitter), who … I don’t think I need to explain it. Japan. They promote Japan. Or, rather, they aim to do so by incorporating a member from each of the 47 prefectures and I guess are working on that? Anyway! They rock traditional looks in their costuming, they use some neotraditional sounds, that kind of thing. Maybe not the kind of thing that you’d expect to find here on Homicidols.com!

Except when it gets very loud and fiery and guitar-driven and stuff:

That’s probably the most intense thing in their repertoire, but here’s a nice little song with a band:

Kind of cool! And good luck to their war of conquest to unite all of Japan under their banner.
