Watch Naomi Watanabe and Yuriyan Retriever's parody of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's RainOnMe video below!
-- the video seriously mimics the overall intensity of the original while inserting comedic details and gags for maximum effect.
The result is a well-balanced mixture of artistry and laughs, with the two comedians delivering what is probably the best dance performances of their careers, all while adhering to strict social-distancing measures -- note the wall between the two comedians and the video's dancers wearing masks and face-shields.
Looking back on the creative process, Watanabe shared:"I sensed that the way to make this as funny as possible would be to do it as precisely as I could. I love impersonating people, so I was meticulous about the details. As my personal project, this parody music video captures my effort to perfect the quality of a single impersonation."
Lady Gaga's production team gave kudos to the completed work, which racked up a million views in under 24 hours since its release in Japan on Saturday night, and became the No. 2 trending video on YouTube Japan. It now has more than 4 million views.
