Nihon no Mikata – I Came Because It’s NevadaYajima Biyōshitsu
The unit Yajima Biyoshitsu, born from the variety show “Tunnels no Minasan no Okage Deshita,” made their debut with the song “Nihon no Mikata – Nevada kara Kimashita.” They’re a trio presented as glamorous, glittery foreign women, but the people “inside” are actually the duo Tunnels and DJ OZMA.
As the title suggests, the song portrays Japan from the perspective of people who came from Nevada, filled with lyrics and expressions so funny you can’t help but laugh.
This must be how Japan really looks from a foreigner’s point of view.
Still, it’s very clear that Yajima Biyoshitsu are Japanophiles (lol).
The rattlesnake is comingTonneruzu
Tunnels, the comedy duo that released numerous hit songs from the 1980s through the 1990s, were hugely successful not only as comedians but also as singers, skillfully performing enka, pop, and a variety of musical styles.
Their song “Garagara Hebi ga Yattekuru” served as the theme for the show “Tunnels no Minasan no Okage Desu,” and, with a side that felt like a children’s song, it became a massive hit across generations.
However, the song actually has a hidden layer of meaning—an undertone that depicts adult circumstances.
PPAPPikotarō
Pikotaro’s “PPAP” became a huge craze not only in Japan but all around the world.
It’s a very simple—almost overly simple—song, yet his outfit, the slightly quirky dance, and the song’s humor all came together to create a major sensation.
Among the many highlights, the videos of famous people overseas singing the song somehow made me feel truly proud.
Despite being such an iconic number, it’s comical and irresistibly catchy—one of those songs you can’t help but say out loud and want to sing at the slightest occasion.

High School LullabyImokin Torio
High School Lullaby is the debut single released in 1981 by the Imo-Kin Trio, a unit born from the variety show Kin-Don! Good Kids, Bad Kids, Ordinary Kids featuring Kinichi Hagimoto.
Thanks to the show’s popularity, the song became a major hit and even sold over a million copies.
The lyrics capture a high schooler’s innocent crush and youthful feelings, while the track packs in techno sounds along with comical dancing and choruses.
It’s a smash-hit comic song notable for its choreography that matches the techno beat.
Sūdara-bushiHana Hajime to Kureēji Kyattsu
Many of you have probably heard it as a cover song or in commercials.
“Sūdara-bushi” by Hajime Hana and the Crazy Cats was released in 1961 and became a huge hit, covered by numerous artists.
The excitement was such that the following year a film was made on the back of the song’s success.
Notably, the lyrics prominently feature, almost as the main motif, one of Hitoshi Ueki’s gags—or catchphrases—so many people regard it as one of his signature songs.
It’s a quintessential comic tune that helps you relax and puts a smile on your face.
LOVE DokkyunCLUB PRINCE
The debut single and signature song of the real host group from Shinjuku Kabukicho, CLUB PRINCE, is “LOVE Dokkyun.” The lyrics portray the world of hosts and their interactions with female customers, making it enjoyable even for those unfamiliar with that scene—you won’t be able to take your ears, or eyes, off it until the very end.
It’s more than just a love song; it conveys the unique struggles of hosts.
Above all, it’s catchy and makes you want to start dancing—a true party tune.
Perfect for livening up drinking parties or karaoke sessions.
Suite: Winter ScenesTokoro Jōji
You wouldn’t guess from the title that George Tokoro’s “Suite: Winter Scenes” is a comic song, would you? The track is included on his 1997 album “20th Anniversary Canniversary,” released to mark the 20th year of his career.
As the title suggests, it’s a song that evokes wintery scenes and landscapes, and you might expect it to be cute—but then you find yourself wanting to say, “Wait, you’re going to treat a snowman like that?” Despite the singing and melody not hinting at anything of the sort, that gap makes it a fun track.
