Adam’s appleGōruden Bonbā

The one who delivered a bigger-than-expected surprise on Christmas night was Kenji Darvish.

On December 24, 2023, he released “Nodobotoke” (“Adam’s Apple”), a track with uniquely playful wording that I can recommend as a novelty song.

As for what Santa brought on Christmas… I’ll let you find out with your own ears.

In any case, this song might make your goofy hangout time with friends even more fun.

It’s the kind of track everyone can get hyped about together.

Why the heck, geez!?Hamada Bamyubamyu

A giant in the comedy world—Downtown’s Hamada—becoming an idol? Packed with ideas as if the god of laughter himself has descended, the single “Nandeyanen-nen” comically plays up the visual gap and tickles our hearts.

Released on December 16, 2015, its music—crafted by Yasutaka Nakata and reminiscent of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu—strangely fits Hamada’s charm perfectly.

The contrast between his cute inner self and intimidating appearance has birthed a magical phrase that can blow away any stress.

It’s perfect for when you want a good laugh or a cathartic moment of empathy.

Come on—let’s chant it together and let the stress melt away!
