I totally hate Christmas!! Just kidding ♡ / Crazy Ken Band (2002)

A Christmas song I recommend for those in funk bands, neo-soul bands, or dad bands is CRAZY KEN BAND’s “I Hate Christmas!! Just Kidding.” As you can probably tell from the title, it’s a very playful and cute Christmas tune.

The contrast with Ken Yokoyama’s dandy vocals is what really completes the song.

If a band that usually keeps it sharp covers this track, the gap will definitely capture the audience’s hearts!

Hawaiian NightCRAZY KEN BAND

crazy ken band hawaii no yoru

If you want to listen to grown-up music, I recommend Crazy Ken Band.

While cherishing the Showa-era sound, the way “Yokoyama Ken’s world” bursts forth with exquisite flair is so good you’ll want to shout, “Nice!” It’s turned into a delightfully entertaining track.

It’s a song that evokes Hawaii.

Crazy Ken Band - Cat

This is a song included on Crazy Ken Band’s 10th album, ZERO, released on August 13, 2008.

The pairing of the ever-falling rain and a cat paints a vivid scene.

The expression “a girl like a cat” suggests a metaphor for a person.

It’s a breezy pop tune.

Moving (house move)CRAZY KEN BAND

Crazy Ken Band / Moving [MASSIVE 2009]

In contrast to their signature song “Tiger & Dragon,” this track exudes a refreshing vibe—it’s Crazy Ken Band’s “Moving.” As you pack up and your room gets tidier, you sometimes realize, “Wow, this room was actually this spacious!” The lyrics begin with such an everyday observation, yet they also touch on things that can make you unexpectedly sentimental: the memories crammed into a familiar room and how quickly time passes.

Once you’ve finished getting ready to move, why not take a breather and look back on the memories you’ve made so far?

ripping sound; the sound/feel of something tearing or splitting (meri-meri)

Crazy Ken Band, the top sound creators in the East.

They’ve been active since 1997, and their 2002 single “Tiger & Dragon” became a sensation, earning them nationwide popularity.

One of their signature songs, “Meri Meri,” released as a single in 2006, gained acclaim for its R&B-centered melody and lyrics depicting mature romance.

If you’ve only listened to “Tiger & Dragon,” you’ll probably be shocked, thinking, “They’re such a soulful band?!”

Monte Carlo of the SunCRAZY KEN BAND

CRAZY KEN BAND - Monte Carlo of the Sun

The Rose Hotel that appears in this song has since been bought out multiple times and no longer exists under that name, but as a café of the Rose Hotel, there’s a place with a tongue-twisting name, “Les Thermes Marins de Monte-Carlo,” which, just like the lyrics say, has large windows.

Monaco is one of the world’s premier destinations for the wealthy and is also famous for its races, and Yokoyama Ken’s uniquely tasteful lyrics and stylish music are a perfect fit.

2:22CRAZY KEN BAND

Crazy Ken Band / 2:22 (MUSIC VIDEO)

Crazy Ken Band, also known as “the premier sound creators of the East,” have released many stylish tracks, but the one I especially recommend is “2:22.” While the song doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, it features many opening phrases that start a bit low, which really enhances the appeal of men with deeper voices.

It also has a slightly Showa-era vibe, making it especially recommended for those with a bit more life experience.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
