[2026] Songs Performed by Comedians: Introducing the Latest Tracks to Classic Favorites (41–50)
Nonsensical SongBaku Chū Mondai
“Baku-chū Mondai” was the name of the duo that Bakushō Mondai used when they appeared in a segment of the show Ponkickies.
The segment was called “Baku-chū Mondai’s Nonsense Tuesday” and aired on Tuesdays.
The song “Nonsense Song,” performed by the two dressed as mice, became a hit, selling over 200,000 copies.
Some of you might even have had it at home.
The segment had an image of high-quality comedy for children—I’d love to watch it again.
Moonlightkuzu
This is the debut single of Kuzu, a unit from the comedy show “Warai no Nai R&R” (One-Nine R&R).
Following the success of this song, Kuzu went on to release four singles and one album.
Incidentally, the CD jacket is a parody of Yuzu’s album “Yuzu no Moto.”
Abracadabra spellBaku Chū Mondai
I think many people have heard “Arara no Jumon,” the ending theme of one of Japan’s most beloved anime, Chibi Maruko-chan.
It’s an effortlessly cheerful song, isn’t it? Did you know who the artists are? The song is performed by “Baku-Chu Mondai,” a pair of mouse characters played by the comedy duo Bakusho Mondai.
It turns out that the original creator, Momoko Sakura, was a fan of Bakusho Mondai and asked them to do it.
The rattlesnake is comingTonneruzu
Here is the 18th single by Tunnels, released in 1992.
It was used as the opening theme for “Tunnels’ Thanks to Everyone,” and it seems it was rushed to be released on CD because it became popular among elementary school students.
Inspired by a line from a foreign film—“Watch out for the rattlesnake,” said by a young girl—this track pairs a ska-like rhythm with a brass section to cool effect.
PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen) Pen Pineapple Apple PenPikotarō
PPAP captivated everyone from kids to adults with English phrases everyone knows and a simple yet irresistibly catchy tune.
It went viral worldwide after Justin Bieber retweeted it on Twitter.
Daimaou Kosaka, aka Pikotaro, says he pursued a “goofy tempo” to the extreme and even obsessed over the cowbell sound made with a rhythm machine.
It’s one of the essential signature tracks when talking about the comedy-leaning music scene, which later led to a boom in “sound-gag” acts like Kumamushi and RADIO FISH.
GG STAND UP!! feat. Takahiro MatsumotoKinashi Noritake
Here’s a signature track from Noritake Kinashi’s EP “Kinashi Funk ~NORI NORI NO-RI~,” which was released digitally in the fall of 2019.
It’s a lavish collaboration featuring B’z guitarist Takahiro Matsumoto as a guest.
Given Kinashi’s strong vocal ability to begin with, the quality is quite high.
The lyrics play humorously on themes of aging that people of Kinashi’s generation can relate to, making the content entertaining as well.
Neo-Chara (featuring DJ DEKKA)EXIT
Here’s the track released by EXIT, the duo who broke out with their “playboy” manzai that felt both familiar and fresh—but they’re not just typical party boys.
Aiming for the next level beyond “chara,” they call it “Neo-Chara.” It’s a collaboration with DJ DEKKA, giving it a real Shibuya vibe.
Even when you lump together music released through collaborations with comedians, there are a lot of different genres, so it’ll be fun to see where they go from here.
