Was thinking of that myself. I think it was the vapours back in the 80sTurning japanese I think I'm turning japanese Sakamoto and repeat
They are an indistinct mumble,I love the song but what are the words ???
Personally, I think this is much better:
Its even worse now I know the words. Nowhere near punchy enough and doesn't follow a simple enough rhyming structure and no repetition.Here are the words:
When you score, you make the City sing, Saka on the wing, Sakamoto on the wing.
Every time you're on the ball we know, there's gonna be a goal, our superstar from Tokyo.
Other options mentioned:
I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese
Sakamoto
Two Unlimited No Limits would be easy and could be done in the style of the Yaya/Kolo Touré song:
(Hands in the air) Saka, Saka, Saka, Saka, Saka, Saka, Sakamoto
(Hands to the ground) Saka, Saka, Saka, Saka, Saka, Saka, Sakamoto
And this one from his former club, which works and is easy:
Saka-Sakamoto oh oh oh (repeat)
That was the video I was referring to. Just a mumble nothing coherent at all.They showed an extended bit of it on the unseen video of the Sheff Wed game and no ones got a clue what the hell is going on!
Just need to get on board with the one everyone is singing
It really isn't that bad, is it?
Yes it is. Where do you sit out of interest? I wonder if this is a B16 vs everyone else thing.
Knew it. Come sit over the other side for a game and see if your opinion changes (don’t actually do this I wouldn’t trade B16 for anywhere)
Bunch of grown arse men arguing about a singy song for a fucking footballer. Grow up you virgins.
Did you get the sports bra you asked for?More of a boob man myself

Exactly, it just doesn’t work in a football stadium setting, it’s not punchy enough. You can probably belt out the “WE’VE GOT O’HARE, CALLUM O’HARE!!” chant and the “HAJI WRIGHT WRIGHT WRIGHT!!!” chant but there’s no way a whole stadium can get behind the “Tatsu on the wing” chant, there’s something wrong with the pitch/tone/melody or whatever, it’s just not belt-out-able.Its not about getting on board. The chant is fundamentally broken on a technical level and will never work.
I just think the bloke deserves a better chant tbh, best player on the pitch atm and only 20-30% of the fans can be arsed to sing his song because it’s a shit one.Bunch of grown arse men arguing about a singy song for a fucking footballer. Grow up you virgins.
I'd love that!The morons think because its a 'Japanese song' that he'll love it. Imagine an English bloke moving to Japan and the fans trying to fit his name into the tune of Bob The Builder?

Block 23, you?Where do you sit?

yeah it sounds good in 1520.
I think because the current chant is fairly quick (and long) the time it takes for sound to travel means that as you get further from singers corner it gets all jumbled up.
I’ve heard what sound like decent renditions of it. And when we’re away it’s sung well.
Well either way, whether our chants are borrowed or original….
That's the thing about the Going Loco song is it's not sung because nobody actually came up with a version that was actually goodThey’re all borrowed apart from LAST and arguably “We’ll Live and Die…”
the crazy thing is we have opportunities for original chants they just don’t catch on;
Hyam the one and only - was never used
Sheaf's the one - never caught on we apparently prefer a “he’s here” retread…
Whoa we’re Halfway there, Joel Latibeaudiere - never sung despite working well and the player not having an alternative.
Going loco - doesn’t work but the Celtic adaption has caught on despite the fact that Sakamoto is from Osaka not Tokyo (iirc).
American Boy - pretty certain someone here came up w a version of this for Haji Wright. Obvs we just adapted a 30 year old Arsenal chant about Ian Wright as it worked better.
