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.
Poi poi poi poi poi poi poppi!ayaman JAPAN
A debut single from the entertainment group Ayaman JAPAN that you’ve probably heard of: “Poi Poi Poi Popoi Poi Popii.” It’s a song that supposedly turns the words they habitually use as the life of the party at drinking get-togethers into lyrics, packed with phrases that make you want to say them and sing along even if you don’t know what they mean.
The title phrase, “poi poi poi popoi poi popii,” is surely popular with kids too—you’d see them singing it while making ridiculously goofy faces, right?
The Song of Koike, the Ramen LoverSha ran Q
From heart-wrenching, tear-jerking love ballads to laugh-out-loud tunes, Sharam Q entertains with a wide range of styles.
When you hear the title of this song, “Ramen-Daisuki Koike-san no Uta” (Koike Who Loves Ramen’s Song), there’s only one Koike-san that comes to mind, right? It’s a track about Koike-san, the character who’s always eating ramen in Fujiko works like Obake no Q-taro.
The lyrics read like a slightly sultry love song, but the surprising truth is that the object of that burning passion is ramen! And the irresistibly singable chorus is just so good.
Shirake Bird OndoKomatsu Masao
Masao Komatsu, who was active as an actor and comedian and passed away in 2020.
His song Shirake-dori Ondo was released in 1977.
It was born from a popular gag and musical bit on the sketch show Migoro! Tabegoro! Waraigoro!, which led to the song’s release.
It’s a track that captures the feeling of a situation “going cold” or falling flat—steeped in melancholy, sadness, and poignancy—yet somehow it makes you laugh; the very fact that the joke bombs becomes funny.
Back then, many kids probably wondered, “Does that bird really exist?” (laughs).
Open! TulipsAkiyama Kanpei
Kanpei Hazama is a comedian beloved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults.
This song is one he released in 1975, and although the title “Open Up! Tulip” doesn’t make it obvious, it’s actually a track themed around pachinko.
As soon as you listen, you can tell: the intro features announcements and sounds that seem to be from a pachinko parlor of that era, and the lyrics make it clear the subject is pachinko.
It’s a passionate song that conveys the fervent hope for a big hit—a win—at the pachinko machines.
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.

Song of the Old Man from KawachiMisu Hanako
This groundbreaking comic song, delivered in rapid-fire Kansai dialect, brought Osaka’s downtown culture to national attention.
Set to a disco-funk groove, it humorously contrasts the rough language of a speaker using Kawachi dialect with his tenderness toward his family.
Released by Nippon Columbia in August 1976, it peaked at No.
5 on the Oricon charts and became a major hit, selling about 800,000 copies.
If you’re from Kansai, its nostalgic Kawachi lilt may remind you of home; even listeners from outside the region can enjoy this lively glimpse into Osaka’s warmhearted culture.
