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

capeRondonbūtsu Ichigō Nigō

Misaki by London Boots No.1 and No.2

This is London Boots’ debut single, released in 2000.

The lyrics and composition were handled by Masatoshi Mashima of THE HIGH-LOWS at the time.

In fact, although Ryo’s part was recorded, the take didn’t turn out very well, and in the end it was replaced with someone else’s voice that sounded similar to Ryo’s for the release.

Noritake Kinashi “GG STAND UP!! feat. Takahiro Matsumoto” Music Video (Short Ver.)

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.

Abracadabra spellBaku Chū Mondai

Abracadabra spell

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.

To the youthTsunoda Akihiro (Tokyo Zero-San) + Ootake Manejaa

Akihiro Kakuta (Tokyo 03) + Manager Otake / To the Young

In recent years, it seems we’ve entered an era where managers also take center stage.

This unit features Akihiro Kakuta of Tokyo 03, well-known from King of Conte, together with their manager, Mr.

Otake.

The unit reportedly began when they unveiled it in the “Serious Championship” segment of the late-night show God Tongue.

This song, crafted with a strong message for today’s youth, combines Kakuta’s folk-singer-inspired persona with Otake’s charmingly off-kilter piano, eliciting plenty of laughs.
