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.

Crazy Ken Band’s classic and popular songs (31–40)
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?
daylilyCRAZY KEN BAND
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!
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.
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.
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!
