Friday Afternoon Fun: Riki Takeuchi Wrestles a Bear

Thanks to the keen-eyed folks at TwitchFilm for spotting this one.
While he may not be a familiar face to the average American moviegoer, Riki Takeuchi is still a hero to Japanese cult film enthusiasts everywhere. As an actor he’s always willing to go the distance in order to make an impression, his dedication to the craft unforgettably evidenced in such outrageous cult favorites as Fudoh: The New Generation, the Dead or Alive trilogy, and Deadly Outlaw: Rekka.
I haven’t a clue what the song is about… all I know is that the video made my day, and I want the song on my iPod so I can encourage my daughter to dance around the house maniacally to it.
After you’ve been effectively indoctrinated into the Cult or Riki by watching the video, why not take a moment to enjoy one of these delectable, er…. whatevertheyare that seem to sooth the savage beast in our favorite impeccably-coiffed Japanese superstar?
