Get Your Holiday Lights On Japanese Bike Decoration Style

You think you've got some Christmas light show going on this holiday season? Think again, my friends.



These tricked-out Dekochari bikes ("decoration" + "bicycle" in Japanese) are pretty much the closest thing to a human-powered Christmas tree light festival on wheels.



Check out the YouTube and the accompanying soundtrack, described on the Pink Tentacle site, as " 'Ichiban-boshi Blues' (sung by Bunta Sugawara and Kinya Aikawa), the theme song from the Torakku Yarou movie series that sparked Japan’s dekotora craze in the ’70s."
