Classic and popular songs by Crazy Ken Band

Here’s an introduction to songs by Crazy Ken Band, led by Ken Yokoyama, famous for the catchphrase “Ii ne!” The band’s music is characterized by incorporating various elements—enka-style pop, rock, funk, and R&B.

Although they’re often associated with the term “Showa kayō” (Showa-era pop), they continually explore new styles beyond just Showa pop.

The line “Ore no hanashi o kike” (“Listen to what I have to say”) from their signature song Tiger & Dragon is said to be a phrase that Mr.

Yokoyama’s father used to say frequently back in the day.

Please enjoy.
