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

Keroro Dancingogiyahagi

Keroro Dancing

As a song performed by comedians, this track has a uniquely exquisite flavor.

Sung by the duo OgiYahagi as the theme for an animated film, it features a poppy, catchy melody and lyrics laced with social satire that leave a strong impression.

Released in March 2006, it drew attention through its tie-in with Sergeant Keroro: The Super Movie.

It was also used as the film’s ending theme, quickly becoming a favorite with audiences.

Despite its bright tone, the lyrics—raising questions about contemporary society while singing of hope for the future—shine with a perspective only comedians can offer.

It’s a recommended listen not just for anime fans but also for those who enjoy socially conscious comedy.

Don’t give up ~Awakening~ainisuta

[Sanshirō] Ainista | Don’t Give Up ~Awakening~ [Ariyoshi’s Wall]

It’s hard to tell whether it’s a song or a comedy bit, but Sanshiro’s “Ainista” draws out a surreal kind of laughter.

Ainista is a fictional unit that appeared on the TV show Ariyoshi no Kabe.

Their piece “Don’t give up ~Awakening~,” which is somewhere between a musical gag, a translation, and an explanation, features the two dressed like deities, with Komiya holding a guitar and singing.

It’s really fun to see all kinds of new styles presented as a fresh form of comedy, different from traditional sketches or manzai.

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.
