The Peruvian-Japanese Hip Hop Dancer Says Goodbye to the Half-Chinese Filmmaker (A Music Video) · 16 March 07

My good friend Jason Ho (of Sushi Time and The Whale fame) just left Japan for America.

I wrote him a silly song. But, he's a video guy, and video guys deserve video gifts.

So, I borrowed a little snapshoot digicam and rallied the local Japanese-Peruvian Elementary Student Hip Hop Dancing Superpal...





...and we made this for him.

(Vimeo.com link here)

Like most going-away gifts, a bit hard to understand if you don't know the recipient personally. But I feel confident you'll enjoy the dancing.

  1. When is Saleem going to become a pop cultural icon? I keep watching VH1 waiting for Saleem to show up to put his hilareous and distincitve spin on the trivial news of the week like Samantha B or that other guy from the Sierra Myst commercials.

    This might be favorite video yet…
