- This video was not planned in advance. Mr. Ischii had just arrived in Nuremberg on his way back from an engagement at a German television station. The original intention was for Mr Ischi and the producer of this song, Mr Noboru Suzuki, to meet each other for a short time. This became an impromptu interview and then a video for this song. Even though the request was sudden and unexpected, Mr Ischi accepted the request in a good spirit, changing his clothes and giving a performance of "The Chicken and the Egg" without the benefit of a rehearsal. Both his good will and his unscripted performance exhibit an extraordinary level of professionalism which is to be much admired. It should be noted that Mr Ischii does not normally perform in English, and that the lyrics of "The Chicken and the Egg" were were not originally written with him specifically in mind, but rather as a means of celebrating the world's poultry industry.from the hatchery to the dinner table. It is due to Mr Ischi's amazing talent and also the talent of the German music composer that this song has become something much more, conveying an unexpected depth of meaning going far beyond the commercial intentions that motivated its inception. The lyricist, Professor Hikaru Kitabayashi of Daito Bunka University and the producer Noboru Suzuki of Belbird Productions wish to express their gratitude to Mr Ischii for his amazing performance and Mr Alpina for his equally amazing Music

Dieses Video wurde nicht im Voraus geplant.
Herr Ischi war gerade auf dem Rückweg von einer Aufzeichnung bei einem deutschen Fernsehsender in Nürnberg angekommen.
Die ursprüngliche Absicht war, dass sich Herr Ischi und der Produzent dieses Liedes, Herr Noboru Suzuki, für eine kurze Zeit treffen.
Dabei wurde ein spontanes Interview und dann ein Video für dieses Liedaufgenommen.
Obwohl die Bitte plötzlich und unerwartet kam, akzeptierte Herr Ischi diese bereitwillig und wechselte seine Kleidung und gab eine Aufführung von "The Chicken And The Egg" ohne eine vorherige Probe.
Sowohl sein guter Wille als auch seine improvisierte Aufführung weisen eine außerordentliche Professionalität auf, die sehr zu bewundern ist.
Es ist anzumerken, dass Herr Ischii normalerweise nicht auf Englisch auftritt und dass der Text von "The Chicken and the Egg" ursprünglich nicht speziell für ihn geschrieben wurde, sondern vielmehr als Mittel, die Geflügelindustrie der Welt zu feiern. Aufgrund des erstaunlichen Talents von Herrn Ischi und auch wegen des Talents des deutschen Musikkomponisten, wurde dieses Lied viel mehr als nur ein kommerzieller Werbesong - ein Lied mit einem unerwartetem künstlerischen Tiefgang.
Der Textdichter Professor Hikaru Kitabayashi von der Daito Bunka Universität und der Produzent Noboru Suzuki von Belbird Productions möchten Herrn Ischii für seine erstaunliche Leistung und Herrn Alpina für seine ebenso großartige Musik danken.
(C) Lyrics by Belbird, Japan - เพลง
I deeply admire this man for living life in the most authentic way, and not taking himself too seriously
The more I watch this man the more I realise he is who I want to be in my future
He is constantly developing artistically. That makes him a role model for me, too.
Thats cool dude
I am from the future, you are not him nor famous....
I’m amazed by his love to chicken ....
Takeo Ischi loves his fans more. He never turns a fan away when a fan wants to shake hands, get a picture taken together, or receive a signature. It is something impressive to watch. He is a true gentleman.
@@hkitabayashi That confirms that meeting this man is now on my bucket list
What an amazing song. It hits the heart with full emotions. Takeo Ischi is an amazing artist.
Yes
As lyricist, a word or gratitude. This comment meant a lot to me. Also, I am in total agreement that Takeo Ischi is an amazing artist.
...and I still think that this is one the best songs ever made.
How can you not love this wonderful man
I agree on both points. First, he is wonderful. Second, it would take a very unusual individual who would not fall in love with this man.
This man is my antidepressant
He has that effect on his friends, too.

Underrated Takeo Ischi song:
Catchy, top notch yodelling and deep meaning.
Brought a tear to my eyes.
Thanks you great yodeller of chickens with the power of nature,
also known as the yodelling Kaiser of Tokyo.
WELL 👏 FUCKING 👏 SAID 👏
Takeo Ischi needs his own official channel on youtube, the world is ready for him
20k views
It brought a tear to my eyes, too, and I'm the lyricist. You are right about Takeo Ischi. He is a genius. Thank you for your support from the beginning. It meant a lot to everyone connected with producing the song.
@@neojc128 Absolutely. I was with him recently in Taiwan and I can completely agree with you. The world is ready. But, more importantly, he's ready for the world, too. A perfect match!
I hope he comes to the United States I really would love to meet him
Takeo is a gem. I pray we get more before he retires
We probably have a good 3 to 4 years left
まだ現役ってほんとにすごいなぁ
この曲も好き！
I randomly played this song when my father was eating egg in dinner .
He is a living world treasure! Truly unique human being!
Methinks a duet with him and PSY would be epic.
🙂❤️
In reference to a comment by "The Komodo Collective", I, too, have come to see this song as having metaphorical significance, although, when I wrote the lyrics, I was more concerned with matters of rhythm and thematic unity. However, Marc Alpina, the composer, and Takeo Ischi, the singer, both being artistic geniuses, brought out other aspects of the song which I had not seen in the beginning. My present take on the song, having listened to it innumerable times, is that it is, indeed, a metaphor of human life. Living in Japan, I see human birth, much like a chicken's, as being born in a hot spot and human death leading to a trip to a crematorium, which may be thought of as a type of frying pan. At least, though, I don't think it to be inappropriate to demand that a big, gaudy, funeral wake ("I want the dinner table to be grand") to be given in my honor when my final appearance is made. In the mean time, enjoying survival as much as possible is probably all either humans or chickens should wish for. One further comment, which I liked very much, was the idea by "Think Dragon Think" that a future song be written about chickens and heaven. Lastly, I would like to express my profound gratitude to everyone who has taken the time to leave a comment. I see song-writing as a constant learning process, and having been able to use both positive as well as negative comments to further my education as a writer, remain grateful to all.
I'm a musician myself, trust me this is seriously good. People can argue all they want about the flamboyance of this song, but Takeo is spot on, Marc did a great job, and if your the lyricist, we definitely have you to thank for a great time. I think we take ourselves too seriously today, and videos like this remind us to take it easy and enjoy things a bit more.
@@louisb.6149 This comment means more to me than any other. I am currently reaching the end of a career as the senior professor of a graduate school program in linguistic ethnography at a certain Japanese university and am more and more finding song-writing and song production to be an all-consuming passion. Becoming famous is not a life goal. Intellectual challenges are. However, receiving recognition from people with an intimate understanding of music, such as yourself, does produce an incredibly sweet feeling of accomplishment. Thank you again for making my brain feel 50 years younger.
@THINK DRAGON THINK Thank you for the positive comment. Irregardless of whether I deserved it or not, it made me feel good.
Even your comment was really beautiful
This comment is very important
ありがとう
We need more views & likes. He deserves better..!
Thank you for expressing your support when you did. This song was a bit experimental and we on the production team had worries about its success.
Oh man this dude got old 😭😭😭
活躍見て安心した
私も。これからも長く活躍してほしい。
Good
Thank you.. As part of the production team, I find all comments valuable. Positive ones, because they encourage us and negative ones because they challenge us to become better. Once again, thank you for the encouragement.
Get this to 1 million views.
I think it's just a matter of time. The song's statistics would indicate that this might happen by Spring of 2021. As for the English version of Bibi Hendl, even though the video version was uploaded much later, this should happen sometime next year.
the music is so beautiful。
The first time I heard the song I cried. Marc Alpina did an amazing job on the lyrics, Noboru Suzuki as the video producer and Takeo Ischi as the greatest German folk music artist of our time.
He seems like such a cheerful talented person. Everyone should aspire to be like this guy.
I couldn't agree more. He is a great guy.
His yodeling sounds so good here yes ma'am
I totally agree. His work proves that yodeling can work well with many genres of music, including a heavy metal version of his famous "Chicken Attack" sung together with the Taiwanese group Chthonic.
Sounds pretty lit at 1.25 speed
Thanks for the advice.
doooga thanks for da advice
Dang dude it sure does!
Wow. Thanks!
1.5 is better
D": it really hits me in the heart and sounds so beautiful!
Absolutely! Me, too, even now, and I'm the lyricist.
@@hkitabayashi You did the best lyric for the best song ever. Good job! :) Sorry for my english, im from the Czech republic :d
@@Sorlex Thank you. I checked out your channel and discovered you are a talented young entertainer. This was clear, even though I don't know Czech. I wish you every success and recommend your channel to others.
It hits 1:35
So beautiful😭👏💖
A big thank you from the production team for your early support. We totally agree with you.
Fav one
Mine, too.
There are so many deep levels to this song. Takeo Ischi is a musical genius! The different dishes of food represents the different ways we can express our love. He is also obviously straight forward saying he wants to please. "Eat me with pleasure, gourmet food's a treasure, drink a fine wine" is a metaphor to savor and enjoy every moment of love and life. Heart emoji's right there, wow.
This could also be a message about power dynamics and exploitation. Stay with me here... The different chicken dishes are about power and control with each dish representing a different strategy to gain power. The author will stop at nothing to gain power with his friends being scrambled yet he did fine. "Pick a pick, peck pick, found that I was struggling in a hot spot"... wow this is deep stuff. He is speaking about difficulties achieving his goals in a competitive and hostile environment. Then he says "out of the shell, raised to be organic, make a good dish". Holy smokes! Hes clearly talking about the ways in which people are often molded and manipulated by those in power and if you want to maintain your integrity you need to resist those influences.
Could also be about just chicken and an egg too.
Thank you for this profound interpretation of the song. It shows once again that music can express so much and help to alleviate the difficult times in our world.
Thank you Takeo and thank you to the authors and producers of this song!
HOW??????? I just heard food from this song
angel of voice
His voice matches his personality.
@@hkitabayashi ok....
only 15K views? no way
I've been keeping up with the view numbers since last year. The total is now over 19k for this TH-cam site alone. At its normal rate of growth it should be 100k by the end of the year and 1m by the spring of 2021. I can measure over 24K for the internet as a whole now. There are many internet sites which do not provide view numbers, so the actual number of views should be at least 25K. If you know a Korean site that does provide view numbers, please add that. No Korean site is currently in the list I am measuring.
I Just love him
I am always listening well. Thank you.
Takeo Ischi is a master! He gives joy!
Takeo Ischi is my favorite rapper
Como amo este viejito , Maestro Takeo Ischi
Estoy de acuerdo. Takeo Ischi es un hombre muy amable.
y yo hermano, y yo.
Este hombre está obsesionado con los pollos... ¡y me está obsesionando a mi también! 😭
Almost 80,000 views - this piece is catching on, as it deserves. Takeo Ischi is DA MAN! Kudos to the composer!
Good one
Yes, it is good. Not only that, but it is also a good sign that someone who must have been exposed to a very different musical tradition can appreciate the song, too.
This fulla cracks us up..my kids love this..
C'mon, more views....!!
We keep up with the song's statistics on a daily basis. I expect it to reach a million views by spring of 2021.
With all the imagery of the location, I feel this is some sort of deep metaphor.
This caused me to write a rather long message elsewhere affirming your take on the song.
@@hkitabayashi Glad to be of help, hope you discovered for yourself what I could not.
@@Cosmoandtherobins he is the lyrics composer haha, agreeing the song is metaphorical
@@Naxafa what a bloody Legend
While I don't exactly feel comfortable with the lyrics, his yodeling will always send a chill down my spine. So fucking good.
I love it I keep watching it looks like grandpa mikal
Takeo Ischi's understanding of his fans runs deep. He shows love, no matter who it might be. Maybe grandpa Mikal is the same.
Thanks for including german sceneries, I really want to live there someday :')
I NEED to meet this guy before it's too late, Takeo is a genius
I love takeo ischi
Sometimes I think everyone does, but I can truthfully say that he deserves it.
I love him
Oh yea power of nature
If you think this is something, check out Takeo Ischi's performance with the Taiwanese heavy metal group Chthonic. That will be known one day as a turning point in music history.
i love this guy
nice song!
this guy is so fucking based and so is chicken.
When I get to an old age and listen this im sure i will cry for nostalgia :(
This is so emotional
Weiter so! Tolles Lied
Thank you for making me feel the joy of being a child again 🥺
:) Love it!!! Great yodelling! Sunny greetings from Switzerland!
2:53 is just angelic.
best new singel
During the six months since you wrote this the number of likes has increased to 504 (roughly, one out of 43 views) and the number of dislikes has remained only 2. I think this is evidence that there are many people who might agree with you.
Let’s make it viral ..
Absolutely! Hopefully, in South Asia, too.
I got served chicken soup while listening to this..
2:53 Beautiful part all the way to the end.
I really love this guy.
I do, too.
I have gain a deep appreciation for chickens and eggs. It is truly a heavenly experience.
Not so different from human destiny. Horrible, yet beautiful at the same time.
Music you listen when you are 2 weeks in quarantine
Although my first reaction was to smile at the humor of the above comment, it is, actually, perceptive and appears to be true. I have been keeping a record of view numbers for almost a year now and, with Covid-19 growing more serious day by day, the number of views per day has also been increasing. The rate now is more than twice what it was in December of 2019. As the song's lyricist, I am gratified that people seem to be finding comfort in the video during these hard times.
Hahahahahaha I love it!!!!
You were the first person to comment. Its positive nature was a big boast to us who were part of the production team. Thank you.
Ou wow I live here
Danke, Meister Barde, für den Spiegel und die Lust.
Arigato, Takeo Ischi /
This is inspiring
The same thing happened to me. After I got to know him better, I became more inspired.
This is a beautiful thing.
Yes, it's a perfect marriage of talent: the composer, Marc Alpina's; the video producer, Mr. Suzuki's; the studio personnel. The magic, though, is entirely Takeo Ischi's.
hkitabayashi most definitely indeed
@@BATMAN-vw2eg Thank you. I think there are certain networks in the world we live in where good energy is produced and certain where bad energy is produced. The lyrics of this song were written in a "good energy" hot spot, created by a great group of wonderful people. I was lucky to be asked to contribute to this as the lyricist.
Takeo Ischi has a passion for keeping chickens and eggs.
I think it is safer to say that he has a passion for bringing hope to others.
damn this hits yer in the catchy feels
If you happen to read this commentary, rewatch this song trying to see the metaphorical meaning behind. Hikaru Kitabayashi, the lyricist, explains the song in another comment of this video.
Scheiß auf Gangnam Style! Takeo ist einfach der Hammer!
wahre worte
As a proud chicken owner, I love this guy's songs about chickens. ♥️👌
Mr Ischi is a wonderful person who takes joy in life and in being with others, but also works hard to keep constantly improving the artistry of his singing and his performances. He puts this into his "chicken songs" as fully as his other work. Just a comment, though, on chicken ownership, as the lyricist of this song, I attempted to write a song that, while being honest to reality, would also reflect the deep affection I have had for the various pet chickens I have had during the course of my life and the joy they have brought me. Personally, everytime I listen to this song, I feel gratitude to Mr. Ischi for bringing this to life so beautifully and, of course, equally to the others connected with the creation of the song and video. Thank you for the comment. It struck a chord with me.
This is my antidote to 2020
Hey Takeo, aktivier doch die Kommentare, wir wollen dich lobpreisen, du bist wirklich ein cooler Typ. Gruß aus Norddeutschland 👍
first time I heard it I didn’t listen to the lyrics. Now I’m actually feeling like I don’t want to eat chicken or eggs again
I died at the end! lol
Wunderbar！(*´ω｀)
Genau. Es ist wunderbar!
Sex ohne Grund
dang, this happend in my city
All he was and is was yodeling and the German and European love him 😂
Chicken Attack
This is part of a "Chicken Trilogy" which not only includes "Chicken Attack" but also his equally famous "Bibi Hendl" which was sung in a now little used language from southern Bavaria, but for which an English language video with English subtitles for the hearing impaired has been produced. As for "Chicken Attack", there is also now a heavy metal version on TH-cam which he sang together with the Taiwanese group Chthonic.
Link is fearfully trembling in his cartridge.
Esto es incontables veces mejor que el reggaetón. Me encanta
😀😍
to watch this makes me feel sorry for every egg or chicken i ate in my life v.v
Deux ans plus tard, toujours pas de karaoké 😭😭😭😭
plot twist: the chicken and the egg
Hai
What can you say the guy really loves chicken's this is the 4th song i know this guy has made about chicken's 😂😂
This birds was 'raised to be organic' which means they were made to be natural and free range bird. then people came and were all like no thank you, you are going to 'make a good dish' instead. birds say 'please we don not want be in cruel facilities where kills us en masse n then u cook us.' i htink we listen to the birds perspective and help bird. thanks
石井さん、鶏を好き過ぎる😂
You ever feed a chicken KFC they love it too 😂😂😂
“Eat Me Whit Pleasure”
You're right, double entendres (sometimes triple entendres) are also possible.
hkitabayashi what?
hkitabayashi stands for Hikaru (given name) Kitabayashi (family name). I'm a professor of linguistic ethnography at a university in Tokyo.
hkitabayashi oh, but I was actually wondering about the first comment, did not quite understand it?
@@jamespoleman241 Sorry, I misunderstood. I actually am the person who wrote the words to the song, so I was confirming that there are various places in the song where it is possible to give more than one interpretation to the same words. That's what I thought you were getting at by quoting the words "Eat me with pleasure".
I am vegeterian and i liked it. Also Conor McGregor should tap the like Button.
I tend to see the song in metaphorical terms. Human existence in most parts of the world all too often means being exploited by a small minority, being "cooked" so to speak and eaten up until nothing is left other than a garbage bag of bones. The song's message, though, is hopeful. Enjoying life while it still exists is something the individual has at least partial control over.
are those raycon earbuds?
All food is murder. I believe this, but this doesn't mean that I believe in starvation to death for the whole animal kingdom. What I believe is that, no matter what one's eating habits might be, respect should always be maintained for the food we eat and the life it costs the universe to provide it to us. I hope, as the lyricist of this song, that people listening to Takeo Ischi's rendition of it will feel something of the sense of gratitude for all life that this song was meant to convey, even if only indirectly.
Google Algorithm brings me here. Good job.
how can this guy be real
The question is how and why has this song only got 100k views.

#takeoischi
Aw, this one kinda made me sad
1.25 speed is even better
Nice to know and experience. Thanks for the tip.
