This work by the band Omedetai Atama de Naniyori is the second installment in the “Oshi Memo” series and was released digitally in 2021.

It starts off with a gentle, mellow vibe, then shifts into a loud rock feel, adds a touch of idol-song flavor, and in the latter half transforms into their signature passionate sound.

It’s exactly this kind of progression that defines Omedetai Atama de Naniyori’s style.

Think of your oshi and belt it out with all your heart!

A song that makes you go “Ahh—I was fooled, but that was fun!” is Nakane Kana’s ‘demo.’ If you thought, “Does ‘demo’ mean an unfinished demo track?” you’ve already fallen right into Nakane Kana’s trap.

Spoiler alert: in this case, ‘demo’ means the conjunction ‘demo’—as in ‘but’ in Japanese.

The lyrics spin a comical tale: “A beautiful sea, a refreshing breeze, an iced coffee, and my beloved car that feels like it’s embracing me—there’s no better drive than this, but… I don’t have a driver’s license.” The song is so good you barely notice how absurd the lyrics are—what a curious track.

The natural swing that gets your body moving is a joy, too!

Rapper Tokage, who’s known for his unique style, has gained a lot of popularity.

He occasionally shows up in the freestyle scene and is also active as a YouTuber, so many of you may already know him.

Among his works, the track I especially recommend for karaoke is “Hagero” (“Go Bald”).

As you can see, Tokage is completely bald, and this song hilariously tries to force the sorrow of baldness not only onto himself but onto everyone around him.

The last verse is especially funny, so be sure to check it out.
