WHO YOU GONNA CALL? Japanese comedians give Ghostbusters the epic video tribute it deserves

They've taken the music from the original movie and given it their own special spin just in time for the reboot to hit screens

Japanese Ghostbusters

THIS is Ghostbusters guys, but not as you know it.

A group of female Japanese comedians have decided to mark the highly-anticipated reboot of the movie with their very own music video.

The new flick has divided opinion, mostly because die hard fans can't bear the thought of anyone replacing original 1984 Ghostbusters stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis.

Well whatever because times are a changing, and now we have Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones taking over the mantle for 2016.

That might not have gone down well with some, but this funny Japanese foursome couldn't care less.

Yukiko Tomochika, Naomi Watanabe, Oniyakko Tsubaki and Shizuyo Yamasaki have teamed up to create a hilarious musical tribute to the upcoming film using the famous track from the original.

All together now: "I ain't afraid of no ghost!"

The new flick comes with a title track from Fall Out Boy, but in all honesty it could be time for movie bigwigs to have a rethink because this is just genius.

The women are seen jumping around to the music and singing along, part in Japanese and part in English.

They battle ghouls with their special proton guns while dressed in the iconic Ghostbusters jumpsuits - no updated weapons needed for this little gang.

Even better? It's interspersed with footage of Melissa, Kristen and the gang from the upcoming movie.

The video has gone down a storm online - even Paul Feig is a fan. If you don't know who he is it's time to bone up on your ectoplasm knowledge because he's directed the new film, which is due to hit screens on July 11.

Paul's not the only one who's in love with the track, people have flocked to Twitter to praise it.

One user called it "SO MUCH BETTER" than the Fall Out Boy track, while another said it was so good they can't live without it and more called it "mind-blowing".
