Japanese Mascot Offers Death Metal Interpretation of Classic Children's Show Theme Song

Anytime Japanese people do anything metal-related, they always offer a unique slant. There is, of course, Babymetal. Last week, a Japanese band pioneered "cockroach moshing." Even Hello Kitty is getting in on the metal craze, by introducing a character who loves metal and beer.

Today, a new video has serviced which features a Japanese man taking the theme song from Anpanman's March, a popular kids show in Japan and reworking the track to feature way, way more blast beats. Here's the original:

And here's the unique cover:

Xの紅など激しい曲ばかりではなくて、ここで1曲お子さん向けの曲を…！と始まったアンパンマンのマーチですが、、、
