[Mega Hit] A compilation of million-selling songs performed by comedians
“Million-seller”—doesn’t that phrase have a nice ring to it?
It refers to works like CDs that sell over one million copies, and in recent years, streaming hits that spark big trends have also begun to be counted as certified million-sellers.
In this article, we’ll introduce works by popular comedians who have achieved million-seller status with songs they performed.
Many of these picks are on the nostalgic side, so they might bring back memories from those days.
You might even discover something surprising, like, “Wait, they sang a song like this?!”

Like a white cloudsaruganseki
In the Reiwa era, Hiroiki Ariyoshi, a TV personality who remains wildly popular, once formed the comedy duo Saruganseki with Kazunari Moriwaki.
This was their debut single, released in December 1996 under the production of Yasushi Akimoto, right as they were skyrocketing in popularity thanks to the hitchhiking segment on the show “Susume! Denpa Shōnen.” Its long run on the charts kept pace with their rising fame, culminating in 11th place on Oricon’s 1997 year-end ranking.
The lyrics were written by Fumiya Fujii, with music composed by his brother Naoyuki Fujii.
The fresh, breezy tune is paired with quintessentially “Fumiya-esque” lyrics—so much so you can almost hear him singing them—poetically tracing faint, hard-to-see footprints and hopes for the future in an evocative way.
The understated yet richly flavored vocals of the two Saruganseki members also stand out, so be sure to listen with that in mind.
In conclusion
Even if they weren’t from your generation, there were probably some songs you’d heard before. Million sellers really are amazing! I’d be thrilled if more wonderful works like that continue to emerge in the years to come. If that happens, I’ll update this article again!
