Jenny High is a band formed under the pretext of boosting the TV show’s profile.

Produced by none other than Enon Kawatani, it’s a five-piece featuring regulars from the show—Kazutoyo Koyabu and Cookie—along with Ikkyu Nakajima, plus Takashi Niigaki on piano.

Steering clear of a gag route and opting for a straight-ahead approach, their song “Kaname de Ijou ni Koishiteru” (“Madly in Love with One Eye”) is bound to become a crowd-pleaser at karaoke—albeit for reasons a little different than usual.
