Drifters’ tongue twistersZa Dorifutāzu
This is a fresh, humorous piece that fires off classic Japanese tongue twisters one after another over a funky groove.
Released in June 1981, the song is a comic number with lyrics by Chosuke Ikariya and music by Akihiko Takashima.
From “nama mugi, nama gome, nama tamago” to “tonari no takegaki take tatekaketa,” familiar tongue twisters are delivered with each Drifters member’s uniquely expressive voice and performance.
The inventive arrangement, which incorporates Wilson Pickett–style rhythms, also shines.
Included on the album “Drif no Hayakuchi Kotoba,” it was performed in the “Shonen Shojo Gasshodai” segment of TBS’s “Hachiji da yo! Zen’in Shugo.” It’s a purely fun track that makes you want to sing and play along with friends during school breaks.

This is a single released in January 1973 by the multi-talented Kenichi Nagira.
The song’s story involves a foul loss occurring during a live professional sumo broadcast.

Fake (feat. Haruomi Usono, Mamoru Miyabi, Mane Kamishiraishi)Nise Akira
An exquisite pop song brimming with playfulness and euphoria.
It’s the major-label debut of Nise Akira—Hoshino Gen’s close ally (perhaps?)—released in June 2025.
With the unique backstory of an April Fools’ joke turned reality, the track brilliantly captures the sparkle of the moment when a lie becomes true.
From its infuriatingly suave sound arrangement to the star-studded guest vocals, there’s plenty to savor.
Give it a careful listen!
