I Have A Theory That Creepy Nuts Are Multiversal Travelers
According to Wikipedia, "Creepy Nuts is a Japanese hip-hop duo consisting of DJ Matsunaga and R-Shitei.
I became aware of them when their song Bling-Bang-Bang-Born was served to me by the almighty youtube algorithm. I dunno if it was popular or whatever, I don't talk to a lotta people.
I later started watching DanDaDan, with their song オトノケ being the OP. That got me reading the manga and-
Wait, is that them?
I've never seen a photo of Matsunaga-san with a perm or whatever you wanna call that hairstyle. But I can't say for sure he's never had one. These two fellas together sure look like Creepy Nuts though. Neat.
Some time passes. We all go on living our lives. One day I decide to watch 不適切にもほどがある. That's kind of a mouthful, let's go with the english title. Extremely Inappropriate. Creepy Nuts' song 二度寝 was used. And, they end up appearing in the show.
No ambiguity this time, it's live-action, they are definitely them just as much as I am definitely me. But my existence is usually limited to the one universe.
I tell a friend about my findings. At this point I just think it's neat that they do cameos like this, but I joke "if they turn up in an episode of Mashle or something I'm gonna start thinking they wander the multiverse."
I haven't noticed them in Mashle.
But I did start watching Call of the Night yesterday. Both the OP and the ED are Creepy Nuts songs.
It's them. Again.
They travel through time, space, other dimensions. They sing for kids in school, and they swim at night in pools.
Not that I'm actively looking for them, if anything at this point they're following me, but have they popped up in other shows? Could we maybe map out some kind of Creepy Nuts-verse?
Or. Is this just a common thing that I'm usually blissfully unaware of because most of the time I don't actually know what musicians look like? Like, maybe if I knew what Yoasobi looked like, I might've noticed a creature that looked like them in Beastars or whatever.
Am I on to something here, or just in the throes of bakanalia?
