SURREAL COMEDY MEETS VOCALOID! Nichijou Creator Keiichi Arawi Animates Yukopi's New Music Video!

Hold onto your onigiri, anime fans, because a collaboration for the ages has just dropped out of nowhere! Keiichi Arawi, the legendary manga artist and creator behind the surreal comedy masterpiece Nichijou - My Ordinary Life, has teamed up with popular Vocaloid producer Yukopi for an absolutely incredible music video. And the best part? Arawi didn't just supervise—he personally animated it himself, bringing his signature chaotic charm to the world of Vocaloid music!

The brand-new track is titled “Kome Rice Onigiri” and, as you might guess, it's a wonderfully bizarre and catchy ode to the glories of rice. The music video is a feast for the eyes, packed with the familiar, expressive, and hilariously deadpan character designs that made Nichijou an instant classic. From celebrating the simple joy of a perfectly made rice ball to the sudden, explosive bursts of comedic energy, Arawi's style is on full display and it pairs perfectly with Yukopi's infectious beat.

This is a dream team-up we never knew we needed! The fusion of Yukopi’s slick, modern sound with Arawi’s timeless, hand-crafted animation creates a truly unique experience. It’s a delightful celebration of Japanese culture, from its music to its most beloved comfort food. We highly recommend you stop what you're doing and watch it immediately. Just be warned: it will absolutely make you crave rice for the rest of the day!
