It’s a song that perfectly fits an energetic dance, making you feel like you can play along with joy! Created by the folk duo Yuzu as the theme song for the October 2017 film “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.,” it expresses overflowing emotions and a racing heartbeat with a fresh, pop sound.
Digital elements blend beautifully with Yuzu’s signature harmonies, and the “Twin Dance,” performed together with the film’s cast, also became a hot topic.

This is a charming song featuring a cute voice and the maddening emotions of love.
It’s a track by Merokuru, originally included in the compilation album “Voca×Hera Vol.1.” The lyrics strikingly and refreshingly express the desires and anxieties of romance.
And Karin Natsuiro’s clear, transparent singing voice is truly wonderful.
With its danceable tempo, it’s highly recommended as a dance number for stage events.
I want to hold youzēzē hāhā
Zeezeehaa-Haa is a band that’s popular among hardcore Japanese rock fans.
In their early days, they incorporated funk and soul, giving their sound a distinctive originality even within mainstream Japanese rock.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Dakishimete Itai” (“I Want to Hold You”).
The vocal range is about average, with no sudden jumps in pitch and a relaxed tempo, making it unquestionably easy to sing.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Daichan Counting SongYoshida Yoshimi
Known as an anime song with the flavor of enka, this piece was released in 1970.
It was put out under the name Yoshimi Yoshida by Yoshimi Tendo, who was a junior high school student at the time.
Beloved as the opening theme for the anime Inakappe Taisho, it features counting-song style lyrics.
The powerful vocals vividly express the protagonist’s growth, dreams, and earnest—if slightly clumsy—spirit.
The melody shaped by the rhythm of Japanese taiko drums and lyrics in the traditional 7-5 meter is striking, and it continues to be loved across generations, having been featured on NHK’s Shin BS Nihon no Uta in April 2023.
It’s a song that gives courage and energy to anyone setting out on a new step in life.
Dance!!Reg-Wink
Formed in Kyoto in 1987, the authentic all-female rock band Reg-Wink captivated fans of the time with their powerful sound.
After winning the Grand Prix at the CBS/Sony-sponsored Ladies’ Rock Competition, they made their major debut in 1989 with the album “REG-WINK.” With Mayumi Fujii’s commanding, husky vocals and the band’s gritty sound, they steadily built their track record, including contributing a song for Recruit Co.’s job magazine commercial.
Their bluesy rock, often described as directly descended from Humble Pie, earned high praise for prioritizing musicality over emphasizing the fact that all members are women.
Showcasing forceful playing and fiery live performances, their music is a perfect pick for rock fans who value the real thing.
It’s a happy ending.Oriibe Kofi
