Crazy Ken Band's Classic and Popular Songs (21–30)
ringCRAZY KEN BAND

This is the 18th single, released on July 1, 2015, featuring Dan Mitsu in the music video.
The song, reminiscent of 90s UK soul, portrays the small discontents a woman feels as time passes after marriage and life settles into stability.
Gentlemen, what do you think?
Kitten in the parkCRAZY KEN BAND

This commercial expresses the warmth imbued in the Kao Premium Gift, which delivers a variety of Kao products.
Along with showing what’s inside, the white outfits and gentle smiles of the people exchanging the gift calmly convey a reassuring sense that dirt can be thoroughly removed.
The song that really highlights the gentle atmosphere of the visuals is Crazy Ken Band’s “Park no Koneko-chan” (Little Kitten in the Park).
Precisely because it overlaps with the soothing sound, you can sense the tenderness hidden within Ken Yokoyama’s powerful singing voice.

discCRAZY KEN BAND

This track is included on the 14th album, FLYING SAUCER.
It was created under the influence of the beat of Mighty Sparrow, who is famous in the calypso genre, making it a highly danceable song.
ShalimarCRAZY KEN BAND

This song is included on the only live recording CD, “Aoyama 246 Night Owls’ Night.” No studio version has ever been produced, making it something of a phantom track.
It tells the story of Shalimar, a traveling automobile peddler who came from Pakistan.
SeptemberCRAZY KEN BAND

A perfect song for autumn by Crazy Ken Band, born in Honmoku, Yokohama.
Its sound blends a melody that evokes vintage soul with a distinctly Japanese sensibility, creating a truly one-of-a-kind world.
Sung from a woman’s perspective, it poignantly expresses lingering feelings for a love that has ended and the fading scenes of summer.
The lyrics conjure vivid images like the sea at Kamakura and the last Yokosuka Line train, likely stirring bittersweet memories in anyone who listens.
Released as a single in September 2001, it served as the lead track for the album “CKBB – OLDIES BUT GOODIES.” It’s a masterpiece perfect for solitary reflection on a long autumn night or as a companion to a melancholy drive.
Nice! Yokohama G30CRAZY KEN BAND

It’s a rare song created as the campaign song for Yokohama City’s G30 waste-reduction initiative.
The lyrics were solicited from the public, and Ken Yokoyama’s melody was added to them.
For a time, the intro was played from garbage collection trucks operating in Yokohama.
VIVA WomenCRAZY KEN BAND

This is a song included on the 11th album, “Girl! Girl! Girl!”.
It’s a track that puts the theme of “women,” Yokoyama Ken’s eternal motif, front and center.
While the lyrics are silly, the high-speed backing track in the first half and the key change in the middle make it reportedly quite difficult to perform.
