In order to embody our challenge 'ever-changing for what does not change' Yamato Transport, whose symbol is black cat, published videos that revived 'NEKO FUNJATTA' (I Stepped on the Cat, in English, also known as Der Flohwalzer* and so on all over the world) in 2 contemporary styles.

The first bullet, "NEKO FUNJATTA | Dancing Black Cats"(https://youtu.be/3pKESMsMQBw), is revived in funky dance music. It is shot in places related to cats like Harajuku Cat Street or Fish Market.

And the second bullet "Black Cat Ballad"(https://youtu.be/IqCpa5qyWn8) is revived in a dramatic piano ballad of a level to evoke even emotion. A professional pianist Miro who is popular especially on the Internet and getting attention of millions, is playing piano in the cat suit.

"NEKO FUNJATTA | Dancing Black Cats" lyrics

Yo yo yo, you know in many foreign countries,
the song "I stepped on a cat" isn't a song about cats at all.
Instead it can be the Dog waltz, the Tick March,  
the donkey, the duck or the monkey. There are so many variations.
But everyone across the world loves the melody so this time we decided to change it into a party tube. Meow~
Alright, everybody let's say it together now! Meow!
