Two skilled Japanese MCs, Kamisuzuki Hakushu (of P.O.P) and Maru (ex-Hondalady), have formed a band called BeastieBoyz and are doing, yes, Beastie Boys covers! Backed by acoustic sounds of guitar, flute and cajón, they sing lyrics in Japanese that are partly inspired by how the original English words may be misheard by Japanese listeners (a phenomenon known as soramimi). While they've been performing live for some time, this is their first release.
In Japanese, the band name is "Beastie Boys" spelled out in hiragana.
