Takahashi Meijin, who can tap a controller button 16 times in a second (and who can make watermelons explode with this talent), demonstrates his finger exercises.

“Famicom Taisou, Famicom Taisou,
Shinakucha naranai”

“Famicom Exercise, Famicom Exercise,
You must do it”

Sounds better in Japanese or when translated by someone who isn’t me.

Now use those nimble fingers to click on this link to Brandon Sheffield’s incredibly focused interview with the Meijin, in which they discuss topics like the origin of the Shooting Carnival, and how a failed deal with Sharp led Hudson to become the first Famicom third party.
