YATTA!!!

"YATTA!"

...said Hiro Nakamura when he successfully teleported from his Tokyo office to New York in the hit TV series Heroes.

The phrase then became worldwide pop-culture and a popular catchphrase for the TV series.

But little do the people outside Japan know of how it reeeeally got popular in the land of the rising sun in the first place...

Ladies and gentleman, minna-sama... Get ready for Happa-tai!


"YATTA! YATTA!! YATTA!!!"

What the heck is GREENL anyway? Green Leaves??? Anyway, the song is from 2001 by a a fictional Japanese band called Happa-tai. You can read more about it in this Wikipedia article.

I will never look at Hiro Nakamura the same way again...

How are you gonna save the Cheerleader like that?!
