Japanese crowd vibes to Daler Mehndi’s Tunak Tunak Tun in a 'civilised manner', social media users find it respectful

A viral video from World Expo in Osaka, Japan, has caught the attention of social media users. It shows a heartwarming crossover between India and Japan where a Punjabi singer takes the stage to perform Daler Mehndi’s Tunak Tunak Tun, with traditional dancers. But what has made the video loved is the reaction of the Japanese audience, who are seen to be composed, respectful and yet enjoying the moment and grooving to the music.

As the energetic performance happened, the audience responded in a characteristically gentle manner, offering polite head bobs and soft claps in rhythm with the music.

The video was shared on X with caption, “Japanese log Punjabi songs pe bhi itne civilised way mein vibe karte hain,” loosely translated as “Even when it comes to Punjabi songs, Japanese people vibe in such a civilised way.”
