Yatta Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Yatta is a song by a group called Green Leaves (Happa-Tai in Japanese) which became extremely popular on the Internet through the distribution of its music video and also a Flash animation called Irrational Exuberance which used the song (this was a so-called Animutation). The song was first performed on a Japanese sketch comedy show called Silly Go Lucky.
The video features its members singing in a mixture of Japanese and English, and dancing exuberantly while wearing only underwear with a large green leaf on the front. Yatta literally means "We did it," but an equivalent exclamation in English might be "All right!" The song is meant to be motivational and uplifting, and the leaves and nudity are meant to be comedic, as part of the sketch.
The song went triple-platinum in Japan within a number of weeks. While the song was intended to be humorous, the Internet audience in the United States generally assumed it to be earnest, probably due to the obvious work that went into the special effects in the video. The incomprehensibility of such an elaborate video enhanced its popularity among Western audiences who could not understand the words.
The song and video have since been used as a web culture in-joke on many different websites, akin to All Your Base, and the amount of independent video of various kinds that has referenced or used it is quite prolific.
