This track’s wordplay and call-and-response over a four-on-the-floor beat spark laughter from the very first toast.

The deconstructed take on the “old-man text” style you see on social media and the recipient’s cool-headed comebacks roll along like a mini sketch, instantly creating a sense of unity in the room.

The music video dropped in May 2025; in June it hit number one on Billboard JAPAN’s NICNICO VOCALOID SONGS TOP20, and it held the top spot for three consecutive weeks that same month.

The key elements are Yoshimoto Ojisan’s humor and the catchy melody.

For parties, split roles between two performers for back-and-forth banter; add simple moves and costumes, and together with the official karaoke video support, it’s perfect for year-end and New Year festivities.
