That link to the mp3 doesn’t work. :(
Is there another link to it? Or how do you rip sound from a video? Please and thanks. :)

I think the Umi-Bozu is just a design by humans. Care to vote?

Ha, ha, that poetic allusion went right over my head. (I’m soooo literal, meh.)
Thanx!

Another interesting thing about UmiBozu- the band from LC – is that when he’s rapping about ‘love’, he uses the word “Koi”, a word used to say “love”, but can also refer back to the Koi fish. Adding a bit of humor to the sea theme. :3

Here's a funny MP3 (2.5MB, iPod ready) of a YouTube video of the Umibozu Song: UMIBOZU song The rap is performed by Susumu TERAJIMA (he is really a actor who specializes in playing yakuza and is not a singer per se). In the TV show "Lovely Complex" he poses as a wannabe gangsta rapper and with scantily clad girls gyrating against him as he sings inane lyrics, this TV segment is a funny parody of lame rappers.

I’ve got plenty of bathing cap pictures but all of them are indexed on my external hard disk with a sick power supply.
That last drawing is actually typical of the my talentless “drawing” skills by rehashing graphics from a half dozen sources.
The actual swim cap is white with blaze orange and red umi-bozu (which tends to cause heart attacks and strokes poolside).
