Hilarious lifeShōnan no Kaze feat. Hamada Masatoshi
This is an exuberantly upbeat cheer song that blends sizzling reggae sounds with the humor of Kansai dialect.
The track, released in May 2025, features Shonan no Kaze with Downtown’s Masatoshi Hamada.
It was created as the theme song for “Gobugobu Festival 2025,” hosted by Hamada.
Shonan no Kaze’s signature energetic sound meshes perfectly with approachable phrases said to be gathered from Hamada’s everyday conversations with his friends.
It carries a powerful message: whatever happens in life, laugh it off in the end and keep moving forward.
It feels like a warm, strong push on the listener’s back.
It’s the perfect song for when you’re feeling down or when you want to rally your friends and boost everyone’s spirits.
We’ve started serving cold Chinese-style noodles.AMEMIYA
Speaking of AMEMIYA’s signature work, it has to be the song themed around a classic taste of summer: hiyashi chuka (cold Chinese-style noodles).
Its lyrics brim with the playful spirit unique to a comedian, cleverly tying various everyday happenings to hiyashi chuka in amusing ways.
Released as a single CD in 2011, it became a major hit after being performed on TBS’s “Arabiki-dan.” Seamlessly blending AMEMIYA’s musical and comedic talents, the piece has found success in many arenas, leading to more requests for customized parody versions at weddings and corporate events.
launch; founding; starting up (e.g., of a new organization or enterprise)aironheddo
Ironhead is a comedy duo that formed while attending Kyoto Sangyo University, performing not only sketches but also manzai.
Their bit “Flag Raising,” based on the Cape Canaveral game, is striking for its contrast between delicate acoustic guitar and a sentimental melody.
As the piece progresses, the lyrics unfold in a dramatic direction unrelated to the game, and despite being a comedy routine, it’s moving enough to make your heart tremble.
It’s an emotional number made possible by Ryohei Tsujii’s keen musical sensibility.
Madly Blooming Friday NightTamori
It’s a song from 1981 provided by Keisuke Kuwata.
It was also used for the ending of the film Kidnap Blues, starring Tamori and directed by photographer Shinpei Asai.
In addition to releasing four albums featuring bits like “Four-Nation Friendship Mahjong,” Tamori has also put out a serious jazz album titled HOW ABOUT THIS.
Ta-da-da-da-daaan★ainapū
Ainapu, known as a member of the comedy duo Paar — finalists in King of Conte 2017 and frequent faces on variety shows — is also a singer.
Created as a playful counter to her partner Hoshino Disco, who’s been gaining attention for his music, her track “Panpan Papapaan★” is a number in which Ainapu took on lyric writing and rhyming.
The lyrics cheerfully sing about what could be considered a fatal flaw for a vocalist, and together with the addictive chorus, they make a powerful impact.
It’s a pop tune you won’t forget after a single listen, showcasing Ainapu’s cute yet eccentric expressive style.
father-in-lawhanawa
Released in 2017.
Hanawa, known for comic songs packed with local in-jokes like “Saga Prefecture” and “The Legendary Man ~Viva Guts~,” which riffs on Guts Ishimatsu, became a hot topic with this song as a tear-jerking, moving piece—especially thanks to its music video that traces his own footsteps in Saga Prefecture.
Shiritori ~ Ringo, gorilla, trumpet, parsley ~menbā
This work, a song performed by a comedy duo from Yoshimoto Kogyo’s Hiroshima office, has been gaining attention.
With a shiritori theme, it features a comical storyline, a rhythmic tempo, and humor-filled lyrics.
It was released digitally in March 2023, and a music video followed in July of the same year.
The song went viral on social media, racking up over 2.4 million views on YouTube.
The members themselves wrote and composed the piece, resulting in a unique finish that incorporates elements of manzai comedy.
The song captures both the difficulty and the fun of shiritori, making it a great recommendation for anyone seeking laughs or a distinctive musical experience.
