Playful Paradisehyōkin direkutāzu
First broadcast in 1981, the comedy variety show “Oretachi Hyokin-zoku” became a beloved national sensation.
With big names like Takeshi Kitano (Beat Takeshi), Sanma Akashiya, and Shinsuke Shimada as regulars, it hardly needs saying that the show had a tremendous influence on later comedy programs.
The directors who worked on “Oretachi Hyokin-zoku” even formed a unit under the straightforward name “Hyokin Directors” and went so far as to release a song—this is the “Hyokin Paradise” introduced here.
Issued as a 7-inch single in 1982, it’s a curious gem that vividly conveys the atmosphere of the 1980s: cheap electronic sounds and blatantly amateurish vocals embodying a kind of spirited, good-natured fooling around that perfectly reflects Fuji TV’s motto at the time, “If it’s not fun, it’s not TV.” The track was later included on various compilation albums of techno kayō, and it’s highly regarded among aficionados.
The joy of digging up discoveries like this is part of what makes the techno kayō genre so fascinating.
If you’re coming alone, don’t come in winter.fuki no tō
This is Fuki no Tō’s classic winter song.
It portrays the bittersweet feelings of a protagonist facing a lonely winter, with delicate scenic imagery.
Released in November 1982, it was introduced as the lead single from the album “Sketch.” Written and composed by Yasuyo Yamaki, it features a gently flowing folk rhythm and a cold yet soul-penetrating melody.
The image of a winter night where heartbreak and chill overlap—recalling memories of a former lover in the white steam rising from a ramen stall—is especially striking.
It’s a recommended track for those who want to feel an ’80s winter night or sink into a reflective, nostalgic mood.

The combination of aggressive sound and lyrics with a unique, story-like quality is superb, too.
