# Galo Sengen GAL男宣言, usually written in English as Galo Sengen, is a 2011 animated rap music video by Japanese hip-hop group Policeman that satirizes the gyaruo youth subculture by turning its tanned, bleached-blond protagonists into Dragon Ball Super Saiyans[1]. Western anime fans circulated the clip through 4chan, FunnyJunk and Reddit over the following year, and by January 2012 it had earned a slot in the /a/ board's banner rotation[5]. ## Origin YouTuber POLICEMAN110Tube uploaded the music video on January 9, 2011, as the official clip for the Policeman track GAL男宣言[1]. Over its first 13 months on the site the upload gathered more than 900,000 views along with roughly 8,000 likes against 350 dislikes before Western audiences discovered it[4]. Policeman produced the song and its animation themselves, and the group hosts related material on its official site[8]. The gyaruo subculture it parodies is a male counterpart to the gyaru fashion trend, which was itself rooted in the earlier ganguro look of blonde or orange hair with heavily tanned skin[7]. - **Platform:** YouTube (origin) / 4chan /a/ (viral spread) - **Creator:** Policeman (Japanese hip-hop group) - **Date:** 2011 ## Overview Policeman's video follows a group of young men who transform mid-song into glowing, blond-haired warriors, directly spoofing the Super Saiyan sequences from Dragon Ball Z while the group raps about club nights, tanning and gyaruo pride[1]. The track's hook, built around the repeated chant 'Go go go go go Galo Sengen,' is the chunk that English-speaking viewers tended to clip for shorter reposts[3]. Reposts usually left the Japanese audio untouched and relied on the goofy character animation to deliver the joke to viewers who did not understand the lyrics[6]. The gyaruo look it mocks, platinum hair, dark tanning, flashy club outfits, had already peaked in Japan around 2007, so the clip arrived as both parody and nostalgia for a fading subculture[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Galo Sengen?
