Space and NaganoOkazaki Taiiku
It’s a unique song that blames space and Nagano for childhood baseball memories and a school ski trip episode.
It’s included on the EP “Suplex,” released in March 2024.
Though it’s a gentle, guitar-and-vocals piece, the lyrics keep shifting the blame in a comical way.
Perform it as a skit at a year-end or New Year’s party, and the room is sure to be filled with laughter.
If you’re good at guitar, why not give it a try?
I don’t want to get out of my futon.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
Have you seen the McDonald’s commercial featuring the hugely popular actress Sari Ito, who’s in high demand for dramas and films? She looks super cute waddling along all puffy and bundled up.
The song playing in that CM is Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai’s “I Don’t Want to Get Out of the Futon.” It’s a track that just repeats “It’s so cold I don’t want to get out of my futon!!,” and it’s guaranteed to be fun whether you’re singing it or listening to it.
With a heavy, headbanging sound reminiscent of heavy metal plus comical lyrics, make sure to lean into that contrast when you sing!
GG STAND UP!! feat. Takahiro MatsumotoKinashi Noritake
This is the first song released by Noritake Kinashi of Tunnels as a solo artist.
One of its charms is the powerful guitar work by Takahiro Matsumoto, the guitarist of B’z.
As the term “Kinashi Funk” suggests, it carries elements of disco-funk and conveys a laid-back sense of fun.
The world depicted in the lyrics is amusing in a way that reflects Kinashi’s side as a comedian, expressing the aches and ailments that come with age and the way he tries to gloss them over while enjoying his days.
Panda piranhaMatsudaira Ken
It calls to mind the cheerful, energetic performance he showed in “Matsuken Samba.” Released in June 2023, this work features lyrics by Shohei Osada of Chocolate Planet.
The imaginary creature “Panda Piranha” takes center stage as the protagonist, unfolding a mysterious, otherworldly setting.
Its ethnic, lively rhythm and Ken Matsudaira’s relaxed, soaring vocals leave a strong impression.
If you’re looking for a song everyone can dance to at year-end or New Year’s parties, why not choose this one?
