I don’t want to get out of bed.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
A laugh-out-loud song by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai that powerfuly belts out a feeling everyone can relate to—never wanting to leave the futon on a cold winter morning—set to hard-hitting rock.
The repeated phrase “samui” (“it’s cold”) sung over a heavy sound perfectly captures a chill so biting it feels like it robs you of the courage to get out of bed.
It’s a track from the single Fuyuban, released in January 2018, and since January 2023 it’s also been featured in a Japanese McDonald’s TV commercial.
It’s known as a live staple that gets the crowd pumped in unison.
This piece hilariously portrays the agony of mornings when you just can’t get up, wrapped in a weighty metal sound—highly recommended for listening while you stay cozy under the covers during the cold season.
