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.

A music video where Ken-san sings dapperly against the backdrop of Singapore’s night skyline, delivering a tight, thrilling hot tune with a signature CKB-style, luxurious horn section.
The track appears on the 2017 summer release CRAZY KEN BAND ALL TIME BEST ALBUM Ai no Sekai, commemorating the band’s 20th anniversary.
Originally included on the 1995 album Kyoken-teki Sekai, this is a semi-new recording that mixes the original take with newly replaced parts.

It was included as the fourth track on the 11th album, Girl! Girl! Girl!, released on August 12, 2009, and was used as the CM song for Seiyu’s “KY Campaign.” It’s a funky track with cool guitar cutting, and the lyrics—told from the perspective of a bicycle saddle—are unique and a must-hear!
Rainbow DriveCRAZY KEN BAND
A track that driving enthusiasts won’t be able to resist has arrived.
It’s included on the EP “Rainbow Drive ep,” released in September 2024.
The song was inspired by Crazy Ken Band’s Ken Yokoyama’s favorite driving route.
Created with the image of breezing through the streetscapes of Yokohama, the piece leaves a vivid impression of fleeting scenes at T-junctions and intersections.
Its unique sound—where retro and modern sensibilities fuse—is truly captivating.
The lyrics, which reflect Yokohama’s culture and scenery, are also a highlight.
It’s perfect not only for drives but also for when you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Give it a listen, and you’ll surely feel a pleasant breeze.
girlfriendCRAZY KEN BAND
Released on July 22, 2009, this 11th single was chosen as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s “JAPAN COUNTDOWN.” This medium-tempo ballad sings of sweet memories and a bittersweet farewell with a once-all-consuming girlfriend.
It really feels like an adult romance!
morningCRAZY KEN BAND
If you want to create a wonderful adult morning vibe, I recommend “Asa (Morning)” by Crazy Ken Band.
First, the title itself has a masculine feel.
And, as always, their charming Showa-era pop sound resonates pleasantly in your ears.
It can be called a classic suitable as a morning tune for people of all ages.

GTCRAZY KEN BAND
Among the Crazy Ken Band’s songs that keep celebrating a man’s romance, this track also sings about another man’s dream: the “GT car.” It features a lively rhythm, a bold horn section, and a unique call-and-response of “GT.” The lyrics evoke summer vacations and travel, making it a song you’ll want to listen to while driving and feeling the breeze—one that conjures up a fresh, blue-sky vibe.
Golden Dragon RestaurantCRAZY KEN BAND
It’s included on their fifth album, “777,” released on June 25, 2003.
Ken Yokoyama had left the song unfinished for over ten years because he struggled with the lyrics, but he said that after visiting Chinatown in Hawaii, he was able to write them all at once.
The arrangement really captures that Chinatown vibe, too!
