Versione con sottotitoli in giapponese e inglese (così si può fare il karaoke ^_^)
"Yatta" è una canzone del 2001 scritta dagli Happa-tai はっぱ隊 (cioè il "gruppo della foglia"; si fanno però anche chiamare "Green leaves"), diventata famosa soprattutto grazie a internet. Yatta in giapponese significa "ok", "va bene", "ce l'ho fatta!": questa parola
ricorre così spesso nella canzone in quanto il testo si prende gioco dei tentativi del governo giapponese di mantenere l'ottimismo malgrado i gravi problemi economici, che hanno ridotto parte della popolazione ad uno stato di povertà (e la foglia di fico indossata dai cantanti allude proprio a questo).
Ecco il testo:
