There, thereKANA-BOON
KANA-BOON is a band that has continued to stay popular for many years with their upbeat melodies and lyrics.
While they’re considered a mid-career act among Japanese rock bands, they’re still active on the front lines, so even high school students have probably heard their songs.
Among KANA-BOON’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Horarara.” It’s a somewhat uptempo song, but the pitch movement is simple, making it easy to stay in tune.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Chocolate Planet’s TT Brothers and Jungle Pocket’s “Exercises That Are Effective Nowhere” both originated from the variety show Ariyoshi no Kabe.
Amid the flood of new gags and unit teams born from the show, the one that really stands out is KOUGU Ishin.
Their 2.5D musical-style performances that personify tools have a bright, addictive quality that makes you want to see more.
In the song “Homura (En) ~kougu memory~,” tools like screwdrivers and drills appear in the lyrics, which unfold with an undercurrent of battling an evil organization.
