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!

Nihon no Mikata – I Came Because It’s NevadaYajima Biyōshitsu
Yajima Biyoshitsu is a unit formed by three people: Sho Ayanokoji of Kishidan, also known as DJ OZMA, and Takaaki Ishibashi and Noritake Kinashi of Tunnels.
They were created in 2008 as part of a segment on the TV variety show “Tunnels no Minasan no Okage Deshita,” and they really entertained us, didn’t they? Their motif is the American female trio The Supremes, so if you keep that in mind and learn the choreography in flashy party-goods-style outfits, you’re sure to be a hit.
Then just go all out hyping things up with a Norisan-style way of singing and big, flashy reactions!
Yes, with pleasure.kocchi no kento
Hai Yorokonde, which was also performed at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and went mega-viral in 2024, is the smash hit that propelled multi-creator Kocchi no Kento to nationwide fame.
While calling it a “gag” might not be quite right since the song is based on the artist’s own experiences with bipolar disorder, its playful touches—like the dance in the MV that blew up on social media and lyrics modeled after Morse code—keep it from feeling heavy and instead make it an upbeat, feel-good track.
That sense of balance is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s great to sing solo or with friends—be sure to fire it up at karaoke!

A collaborative track between MONKEY MAJIK and Taiiku Okazaki that came to life after they worked together on the morning drama Manpuku! It’s a fun song with lyrics themed around English that sounds like Japanese and Japanese that sounds like English.
If you faithfully mimic the lyrics, you can sing a song that’s both cool and funny too!
Riding the good vibes ☆ NIGHTFakkingu Rabittsu
It’s an upbeat party tune packed with a super memorable phrase—“Riding a good wave!”—that went viral on social media and TikTok! That same phrase was even chosen for the 2018 Gal Buzzword Awards.
With its catchy tempo and killer hook, it’ll get you hyped! People from that generation, and those who aren’t, can all have fun shouting the phrase together.
And the vocals are great, too!
ABC songRanī Nōzu
Lani Nose is a comedy duo made up of two former band members.
These days, they’re known as musical manzai performers, both doing stand-up while playing guitars—a style that’s getting a lot of buzz! In 2019, they won the Song Gag King Championship, so their musical sketches have serious cred.
Among their bits, “The ABC Song,” which they performed in that championship, is highly recommended.
The tear-jerking melody and ultra-emotional lyrics—there’s this sense that they’re using their songwriting talent in the strangest way, and the unique world of a deeply moving “ABC song” is hilariously charming.
If you’ve got two people who can play guitar, definitely give it a try!
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?
