Released in 2017.

Hanawa, known for comic songs packed with local in-jokes like “Saga Prefecture” and “The Legendary Man ~Viva Guts~,” which riffs on Guts Ishimatsu, became a hot topic with this song as a tear-jerking, moving piece—especially thanks to its music video that traces his own footsteps in Saga Prefecture.

This work, a song performed by a comedy duo from Yoshimoto Kogyo’s Hiroshima office, has been gaining attention.

With a shiritori theme, it features a comical storyline, a rhythmic tempo, and humor-filled lyrics.

It was released digitally in March 2023, and a music video followed in July of the same year.

The song went viral on social media, racking up over 2.4 million views on YouTube.

The members themselves wrote and composed the piece, resulting in a unique finish that incorporates elements of manzai comedy.

The song captures both the difficulty and the fun of shiritori, making it a great recommendation for anyone seeking laughs or a distinctive musical experience.

KOJI1200 – Blow Ya Mind

It’s said that KOJI1200, the unit by Towa Tei and Koji Imada, drew inspiration for “Blow Ya Mind ~ America Daisuki” from “Blow Your Mind” by the project group GEISHA GIRLS, which Towa Tei himself was involved in.

It even uses the riff from Janet Jackson’s “This Time.” Collabs between comedians and musicians are so stylish.

We’ve started serving cold Chinese-style noodles.

Speaking of AMEMIYA’s signature work, it has to be the song themed around a classic taste of summer: hiyashi chuka (cold Chinese-style noodles).

Its lyrics brim with the playful spirit unique to a comedian, cleverly tying various everyday happenings to hiyashi chuka in amusing ways.

Released as a single CD in 2011, it became a major hit after being performed on TBS’s “Arabiki-dan.” Seamlessly blending AMEMIYA’s musical and comedic talents, the piece has found success in many arenas, leading to more requests for customized parody versions at weddings and corporate events.

Ironhead “Flag Raising” [Official PV]

Ironhead is a comedy duo that formed while attending Kyoto Sangyo University, performing not only sketches but also manzai.

Their bit “Flag Raising,” based on the Cape Canaveral game, is striking for its contrast between delicate acoustic guitar and a sentimental melody.

As the piece progresses, the lyrics unfold in a dramatic direction unrelated to the game, and despite being a comedy routine, it’s moving enough to make your heart tremble.

It’s an emotional number made possible by Ryohei Tsujii’s keen musical sensibility.
