Strawberry shortcakeKisaragi Maron

Kisaragi Maron “Strawberry Shortcake” MV [Jellydon]

Do you know Marron Kisaragi, the underground idol who sprang from the popular comedy show “Ariyoshi no Kabe”? She’s a character played by Kamichii from the red-hot comedy trio JARUJARU—wait, actually by the trio JELARDON (Jeradon).

And now, Marron-chan is making a full-on debut.

Her idol song “Strawberry Shortcake,” which pushes a quirky, indescribably mysterious vibe, is hilarious even as a comedy bit.

Despite being a song about shortcake, earthworms and pill bugs show up… it’s pure chaos.

The call-and-response that sounds like Nishimoto’s tsukkomi is laugh-out-loud funny too!

Hitoshi Ueki “Sūdara-bushi” ANALOG RECORD MUSIC

This song became the catalyst for Hitoshi Ueki’s explosive popularity, and upon its release in 1961, it became a massive hit, selling 800,000 copies.

Although Crazy Cats were a comedy sketch group made up of entertainers, they were also a jazz band with solid technique.

Comedian Akiyama from the trio Robert, known for filling living rooms with laughter through his highly original comedy.

He has created many comic songs over the years, but among them, the one that’s especially popular with teens is probably “SAY KOU SHOW,” right? The song is about asking couples how they first met, and the punchline packs such a punch that it leaves a strong impression.

The melody is incredibly catchy too, so it’s sure to be a hit if you sing it at karaoke.

HOPE feat. HikorohiKimyō Reitarō

Kimyō Reitarō – “HOPE feat. Hikorohee” Official Lyric Video

Reitaro Strange Reitaro captivates many with his emotional lyrics and vocals.

He features comedian and actress Hikari Hikorohi on “HOPE feat.

Hikorohi.” It’s a stripped-down, voice-and-guitar song that depicts someone lost in thought in familiar settings like a supermarket or a home kitchen.

Anyone who’s been in a similar situation will surely relate.

And if you know the brand names that appear in the song, you may feel the lyrics’ depth even more.

Otona Blueatarashii gakkou no rīdāzu

[Adult Blue Parody Song] New Manga Association Leaders “Great Master Blue”

Set to the melody of Atarashii Gakko! (The Leaders)’ “Otona Blue,” this song features members of the Manzai Association’s board singing from the perspective of seasoned veterans.

It gives the impression of a viewpoint unique to those who frequently interact with the big names, and it sharply conveys what kind of presence these veterans are.

By detailing things like not being rattled when a joke falls flat, repeating the same routine over and over, and lecturing younger performers at great length, the lyrics clearly communicate just how troublesome their behavior can feel.

While it might look like a rebellion against the old guard, the song also acknowledges their humor in places, making it clear that this is a good-natured, affectionate parody.

Tay and TaishonA masso

[Music] I tried making a song that could be on Ponkikies [A Masso Official Channel]

Formed by childhood friends since their elementary school days, the comedy duo A Masso has gained popularity with avant-garde and experimental material.

Their song Tei to Teition, released on their YouTube channel “A Masso Official Channel,” was created with the image of a Ponkickies-style tune.

The lyrics themed around gravity and the laid-back melody, together with a sprightly beat, create a unique atmosphere.

It’s an addictive pop tune that offers a glimpse into A Masso’s wide-ranging style and sensibility.
