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.
I’m starting the new NISA.Tarumi Kenji
A song packed with humor that sings about how to start the new NISA—guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Released by Kenji Darvish of Golden Bomber in September 2024, it stands out for its surprisingly mature tone.
The music video drew attention for featuring Darvish without his signature white makeup and for special appearances by members of Wagakki Band.
It sets universal worries—like anxiety about the future and planning for retirement, concerns shared by all working people—to a dramatic sound.
It’s funny, yet it makes you think, “Maybe I really should get my act together.” Definitely consider using it at year-end or New Year parties!
TSUGARUYoshi Ikuzo
A rap number by enka singer Yoshikazu Mera (Yoshi Ikuzo) performed in the Tsugaru dialect of his home prefecture, Aomori! Just listening to it, you can hardly tell what he’s saying, and it’s incredibly addictive.
Since it’s tough for people from other regions to imitate, those from Aomori should take the lead and sing it! And if there’s no one from Aomori around, brave challengers are welcome to give it a try!
DansharismUchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
This is a song by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai, a band that champions everyday-life loud rock.
It was released digitally on December 20, 2024, with the music video dropping the same day.
Perfect for the year-end cleaning season, the track centers on the theme of decluttering.
The lyrics humorously and relatably capture the struggle of trying to sort out unwanted items but getting stuck because of memories and lingering attachments.
Crank up this explosive tune and get yourself hyped!
