Song Production Information

John Robinson

The idea of Kecak came from the traditional tribal dance performed by the Balinese in Indonesia.
It actually translates to "trance dance" so it seemed somehow appropriate. The tribesmen work themselves up into a frenzy, all the while chanting the "chak chak chak" sounds that you can hear in Kecak.
I was extremely happy and relieved after I performed this song with 50 tribesmen in Bali.....
I wonder what would have happened to me if they had not liked it!!!!!!!!!

Video Production Information

kjk@tksd / TOKYO SYOKUDO

Firstly, this is based on kecak kecak.
There's more kecak kecak. I can't get enough of it. It's still excessive.
It isn't a kecak dance at all, but I had an image of characters quickly moving, so I kept them in.
So anyways, I thought it was interesting for them to unexpectedly appear in the video without context, so other than kecak kecak, I summarized it in a normal and cleany way, and timed the rhythms as carefully as possible to get that feeling.

To summarize the total image, there was an error within a computer system that was working properly, as the kecak virus suddenly appeared, somehow made noise, and seemed to quickly scatter throughout the screen.
It has nothing to do with the real Bali kecak dance.
