‘Japanese log Punjabi songs pe bhi itne civilised way mein vibe karte hain…' Punjabi hit Tunak Tunak Tun goes viral in Japan
Source: @Oye_Jahazi (X) Daler Mehndi's iconic 1998 song ' Tunak Tunak Tun ' is back in the global spotlight this time, thanks to a viral video of a Japanese crowd vibing to it in a perfectly calm and synchronised way. The video, which shows fans clapping in formation and gently grooving to the beat, has taken over social media, sparking nostalgic joy and fresh intrigue around the track that helped define Indian pop culture. While the energy may be 'civilised,' the internet can't stop laughing and dancing. So why is Tunak Tunak Tun suddenly everywhere again in 2025? And how did it win over fans from Japan to the West? Let's dive in. Why 'Tunak Tunak Tun' is trending again in 2025 Originally released in 1998, Daler Mehndi's Tunak Tunak Tun was India's first music video to use chroma key (green screen). Tired of criticism that his success relied on backup dancers, Mehndi created a video featuring multiple versions of himself dancing solo and the rest is viral history. Decades later, the song is a global meme. In 2025, its catchy beat and joyful absurdity have made it a favourite across generations, with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts reviving the classic with dance challenges and reaction videos. The Japanese Tunak Tunak Tun video: Calm, composed, and completely viral The video that reignited the conversation features a Japanese crowd at what appears to be a cosplay or anime event. But unlike the wild dance circles we often see in India, this crowd responds to Tunak Tunak Tun with polite enthusiasm, clapping, nodding, and slightly moving in sync. The contrast between the song's energetic beat and the crowd's chill vibe struck a nerve online. Comments like 'they're dancing like they're in a tea ceremony' and 'peak Japan energy' flooded social media. While the exact origin of the video remains unverified, its impact is real: Daler Mehndi himself has previously been celebrated in Japan, and Indian pop music has a niche but growing fandom in anime and cosplay circles. Twitter (X), Reddit, and Instagram users had a field day with the video: 'When Daler Mehndi meets Japanese discipline, you get perfection'one said, 'The calmest flash mob I've ever seen' said another. The viral moment also sparked a fresh wave of videos featuring Indian users reacting to Japan's response, along with remixes and duet stitches across TikTok.

‘Civilised way mai vibe': Japanese crowd's calm reaction to Daler Mehndi's ‘Tunak Tunak Tun' goes viral
A video showing a group of Japanese people calmly grooving to a high-energy Punjabi song has sparked a wave of reactions online. The clip, filmed at the World Expo in Osaka, features a stage performance of Daler Mehndi's iconic Tunak Tunak Tun song, complete with dancers and a Punjabi singer leading the show. What stole the show was the audience's reaction to the song. Instead of the usual jumping and dancing one might expect, the Japanese crowd vibed to the beat in a measured, synchronised manner, clapping with enthusiasm. The contrast was so striking that one X user, @Oye_Jahazi, posted the video with the caption: 'Japanese log Punjabi songs pe bhi itne civilised way me vibe karte hain (Even when Japanese people vibe to Punjabi songs, they do it in such a civilised way).' Japanese log Punjabi songs pe bhi itne civilised way me vibe karte hain 😭 — Jahazi (@Oye_Jahazi) July 18, 2025 The post quickly gained traction, with thousands of views and plenty of comments. 'Most civilized country for a reason,' one user remarked. Another quipped, 'Bechare bachpan se shant log hai (They've been calm since childhood). One of the nicest human breed on earth.' Meanwhile, a Japanese travel vlogger recently stirred discussion with a video reflecting on his interactions with Indians he met during his travels abroad. Unlike the viral Osaka clip, this one carried a more reflective, and somewhat critical, tone. The vlogger questioned a recurring pattern he noticed: 'I met so many amazing Indians while travelling abroad. But almost all of them said the same thing.' He said many Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) told him they left because they felt 'the system holds back those who want to do something big in India.' Another comment that kept coming up, he added, was: 'India is too hard to live in.' His video has since led to debate online, with viewers reacting to what some see as a harsh reality and others defending their homeland against generalisation.
