WATCH | Japanese Influencer’s Energetic Bollywood Beats for Ganesh Chaturthi Goes Viral
Ganesh Chaturthi is going global, with vibrant celebrations reaching far beyond India’s borders. This year, a Japanese influencer added a dazzling international flair to the festival, capturing widespread admiration online.
Kake Taku, a well-known content creator, honored Lord Ganesha with an electrifying dance to the Bollywood anthem Deva Shree Ganesha from the movie Agneepath. Shared across his social media platforms, the performance quickly skyrocketed to viral status, with fans lauding his enthusiasm and respect for Indian culture, as reported by various outlets.
Dual Performances, One Unforgettable Tribute
Kake Taku delivered not one but two captivating performances for the occasion.
In his first video, he danced alongside a diverse ensemble of performers children, teens, and adults moving in flawless harmony to the song’s dynamic rhythm. Their synchronized choreography radiated festive energy, bridging continents with its celebratory spirit.
The second clip showcased a creative twist, featuring three simultaneous versions of Kake’s dance on-screen, highlighting his versatility and boundless energy as a performer.
Social Media Erupts with Praise
The videos resonated deeply with audiences in India and worldwide. Social media users flooded Kake’s posts with heartfelt appreciation for his spirited tribute to an Indian festival.
One commenter noted, “The world knows the secret to getting countless likes.”
Another wrote, “India approves.”
“Love from India,” a third chimed in.
Viewers expressed joy at seeing Ganesh Chaturthi traditions embraced globally, while many praised Kake for spotlighting Bollywood music on an international stage.
A particularly touching comment read, “I’ve always admired your team for singing and dancing to Indian songs. But recently, you touched me on a much deeper level. When many Indians pointed out that footwear should not be worn while performing to devotional songs like the Ganesha song, you could have easily ignored the feedback. Instead, you chose to listen, respect, and correct it by performing the same song again, this time barefoot and in a kurta, to honor our culture and religion. This simple yet powerful gesture speaks volumes about Japan and its people… thank you and keep going guys.”
Another fan added, “It’s no surprise that this reel has gone viral, because when talent meets hard work, magic happens. You deserve every bit of love and recognition coming your way. Keep inspiring and keep dancing with the same spirit, you are simply outstanding. Ganpati Bappa bless you.”
This viral sensation underscores how festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi are uniting people across borders, fostering connection through music, dance, and shared celebration.
