WOW WAR TONIGHT ~Sometimes You Gotta Start a Movement~H Jungle with T
This is the 1995 debut single by H Jungle with T, a musical unit formed by Masatoshi Hamada of Downtown and Tetsuya Komuro.
Hitoshi Matsumoto also participated as a guest on this track.
It became a hit with over two million copies sold and earned them an appearance at the 46th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
chicken riceHamada Masatoshi / Makihara Noriyuki
The heartwarming Christmas song “Chicken Rice” was written by Hitoshi Matsumoto and sung by Masatoshi Hamada and Noriyuki Makihara.
The deeply moving lyrics, based on real experiences and reflecting on filial piety and poverty—central to Matsumoto’s comedic roots—are truly impactful.
Hamada has also sung several other hit songs through collaborations.
Makihara’s harmonies are, as you’d expect, of outstanding quality and are another highlight of the song.
Nihon no Mikata – I Came Because It’s NevadaYajima Biyōshitsu
This song is honestly so cheeky (lol).
Right from the intro it gives off a soulful, sexy vibe.
Yajima Biyoshitsu is a trio made up of Tunnels and DJ OZMA playing Margaret Camellia Yajima, Naomi Camellia Yajima, and Strawberry Camellia Yajima.
DJ OZMA handled all of the tracks.
The deep, gutsy vocal harmonies and the grand, funny lyrics—so characteristic of the festival-loving DJ OZMA—are totally addictive.

Tunnels have been active as singers since the mid-1980s.
With this song, they won the Grand Prize at the 22nd Japan Kayō Awards and also performed at the 42nd Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Their next single, “Garagara Hebi ga Yattekuru,” became a million seller.
They have also been known for their subsequent musical activities with groups like Yazawa (Yaen) and Yajima Beauty Salon.
YELLOW YELLOW HAPPYPoketto Bisuketsu
Produced by Pappara Kawai of Bakufu Slump, this song was released in 1996 as Pocket Biscuits’ second single.
The trio—Teruyoshi Uchimura, Udo Suzuki, and Chiaki—were hugely popular at the time, and Chiaki’s cute yet powerful vocals were especially memorable.
The lyrics, written by Chiaki herself, are striking for their exceptionally positive, message-driven content.
Set to a punchy, beat-driven rhythm, it’s an energizing pop track that makes a passionate surge well up from deep inside.
Like a white cloudsaruganseki
This was Saruganseki’s debut single in 1996.
At the time, Saruganseki was at the height of their popularity thanks to their appearance on Nippon TV’s “Susume! Denpa Shonen,” where they took part in the Eurasian continent hitchhiking project.
The lyrics were written by Fumiya Fujii, and the music was composed by Naoyuki Fujii.
YATTA！happatai
Happa-tai are characters from a sketch on the comedy show “Warau Inu no Bōken.” The members were Kiyotaka Minamihara of Ucchan Nanchan, Bibiru, and the three-man group Neptune, making six in total.
The single was released in 2001, received high praise overseas, and in 2003 they appeared as guests on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in the United States.
