This one time at band camp, some Japanese kids took over the photo meme known as Hadoukening. Sometimes called Vadering in the US, the trend was started by some Japanese school girls imitating manga martial arts moves from Street Fighter that sent their friends blasting through the air, spread through the world, and reached its peak about two months ago. But these young band kids have revived it, blowing their friends away with tubas and calling it “Tuba Gun” (チューバ砲 or “Chuuba Juu”).

The kids have even started twists on the Tuba Gun trend with other brass instruments too! Whether this photo fad will catch on in the West remains to be seen, but I’m sure there will be a new one by the time this post is published. What will they think of next?
