Summary | “Sonna no Kankei nee!” means “That has nothing to do with it!” in Japanese. This gag was made famous by comedian Yoshio Kojima in the mid-2000s. He would shout the phrase while doing a dance wearing only swim briefs, then follow it with a nonsense phrase: “Oppappi!” The ridiculousness of both the phrase and pose made it a viral hit. He is now focused on creating content for children, and remains somewhat recognized among younger audiences. |
