[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.

TOKYO HamburgerHanbaagu Shishou feat. OZAWA

[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.

Let’s for nyuMō~gāru

[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!

affogatoKisaragi Maron

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?

Alright, Buck-Naked FriendKojima Yoshio

Alright, Buck-Naked Friend

This song, used as the ending theme for the TV anime Sergeant Keroro, is a track released by comedian Yoshio Kojima in May 2009.

Set to a poppy melody, the lyrics humorously depict Sergeant Keroro’s character and his relationships with humans, while emphasizing the importance of friendship and peace.

Incorporating Kojima’s gags and routines, it brilliantly captures the world of the anime.

It’s a charming song that blends a comedian’s playful spirit with an approachable appeal that can be enjoyed by both children and adults.

It’s recommended not only for anime fans but also for fans of Yoshio Kojima.

Why not give it a listen during a fun time with family or friends?

Bosom of LamentationTsukitei Kachō

Kachō Tsukitei – Lament of the Boobs 2017

Released in 1969, it became a huge hit, selling over 800,000 copies.

In 2017, to commemorate Mr.

Kacho’s 60th year as a rakugo performer, a 7-inch analog EP “Nageki no Boin 2017 / Shassha Shakkin Kouta” and the best-of CD “The Tsukitei Kacho Best + New Song” were released, both featuring a re-recorded version of the same song, “Nageki no Boin 2017.”
