[2026] Songs sung by comedians: from the latest tracks to nostalgic classics

I want to see you, I want to see you, Muay ThaiSamāto Pachara Injiwatto Muachai

[Muay Thai] Samart Pachara Injivath Muachai / I want to see you, I want to see you Muay Thai [Ariyoshi’s Wall]

Here’s the song that Akemasu Yasumura (Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura) performed under the name “Sermmart Pachara Inchiwat Muangchai” on the variety show “Ariyoshi no Kabe.” The name—apparently a playful riff on a famous Muay Thai fighter’s name—is hilarious.

The outfit is Muay Thai-style, but his clearly untrained, endlessly soft-looking body is the best part.

And once you hear it, it gets stuck in your head with addictive repetition.

The way he drops the pitch slightly at the end of phrases is really catchy.

Friend’s Songharisenbon

Friend's Song

This is a song released in March 2007 by Harisenbon, a duo popular in the comedy world.

Set to a bright, poppy melody, the lyrics center on themes of friendship and bonds with companions.

It features phrases about clapping hands and dancing in a circle, giving listeners a sense of familiarity.

The track was used as the theme song for the film “Chibi Kero: The Secret of the Kero Ball!?” and was released as a CD-and-DVD set.

The DVD also includes choreography lesson footage.

With Harisenbon’s signature comedic and fun vibe, the song exudes positivity about meeting new friends and adapting to changing environments.

It’s a tune likely to be loved by a wide range of listeners, from children to adults.

[Official] TOKYO Hamburg Music Video / Master Hamburger feat. OZAWA [DX ver.]

Here’s a song produced by Enon Kawatani—famous for Gesu no Kiwami Otome—performed by Speedwagon.

Jun Idota from Speedwagon has long been known for his “hamburg steak” routine, and it’s surprising that such a stylish track could be made based on that bit.

When professionals play seriously, it’s fascinating—the details are crafted down to the smallest parts.

This style of collaboration between artists and comedians seems likely to keep popping up in various forms.

I’m definitely a technician.Bīto Takeshi

I'm definitely a technician.

Incorporating elements of techno-pop, this comical track became one of Beat Takeshi’s signature works.

Released in 1981 under the name Two Beat, the song makes heavy use of the then-trendy synthesizer sound and is characterized by its unique lyrics that repeat onomatopoeia.

The self-proclaimed “absolute technician” protagonist sings lyrics that seem to satirize the fusion of technology and nature.

It’s also remarkable that the lyrics were written by Etsuko Kisugi and the music composed by Kenji Endo.

Blending a comedian’s playful spirit with bright pop sensibilities, it’s a standout track recommended not only for comedy fans but also for anyone interested in 1980s music.

[K-POP] Makes you want to dance! Let’s for nyu ❤️ / Tanpopo Kawamura, Niche Kondo, Nagon Usu-kou

One of the most popular segments on the Nippon TV variety show “Ariyoshi no Kabe” is the Break Artist Championship.

From that segment came the three-member unit Mō~Girl and their song “Let’s for nyu.” The group consists of Nichi-e’s Kondo, Tanpopo’s Kawamura, and Nagon’s Miyuki.

With a K-pop-inspired track, they’re pioneering a new genre called M-POP themed around milk.

It’s an adorable song featuring the trio dancing in cow costumes!

The Day Love Was BornOishi Madoka · Dandy Sakano

Madoka Oishi & Dandy Sakano / The Day Love Was Born

Dandy Sakano, who became a huge hit with gags like “Get’s!” and “Niooka!”, and Madoka Oishi, the original ‘entertainment idol,’ have earnestly covered and remade the nostalgic classic ‘Ai ga Umareta Hi’ without any comedy.

For those in their 50s and up, the title likely brings to mind the original duet by Miwako Fujitani and Yoshiaki Ouchi.

This version by Dandy and Oishi is every bit as sultry as the original, and above all, Dandy’s singing voice is exceptionally pleasing.

It’s a highly recommended track that I hope many more people will listen to.

Kisaragi Maron “affogato” MV [Jelardon]

The new song by Kisaragi Maron, a fictional underground idol created by the comedy trio Jeraldon, is creating a buzz.

It’s a K-pop-style dance tune featuring a distinctive array of flows layered over techno beats.

The lyrics reflect her commitment to pursuing not just “cute” but also “cool,” packing in the appeal of a 35-year-old who’s striving while working night shifts.

Released in July 2024, the track was a huge hit at fan meetings and the release party.

One listen and you’ll be surprised by a musicality that transcends the bounds of comedy.

When you’re tired or need a boost, why not listen to Kisaragi Maron’s energetic vocals?
