With singers taking turns and everyone chanting “ie” together, even those not used to singing can join in the fun.

Short but impactful, incredibly easy to remember, and ideal for creating a sense of unity—this is a go-to track for karaoke!

Osaka StrutUrufuruzu

Bursting with Naniwa flavor, this is a fun 1995 track by Ulfuls.

Did you know it’s actually a cover of Eiichi Ohtaki’s “Fussa Strut”? With lots of spoken lines and thick Osaka dialect, not everyone may be able to sing it, but if you nail it, it’s sure to be a hit.

It’s upbeat with a great rhythm—why not take on a song that’s uniquely Ulfuls?

Endless HeavenYamamoto Momiji

The pachislot game Kaitō Tenshi Twin Angel, released in 2006, went beyond the boundaries of pachislot with developments like an anime and a video game.

Amenbo Plus is a duo of YouTubers who generously show off their encyclopedic baseball knowledge.

Their skit videos like “Things Typical of Baseball Teams” and “A Baseball Player’s Routine” make you laugh no matter how many times you watch them.

Their song ‘Kaihou Exercise’ is also packed with jokes only baseball fans would get.

For example, the “463 double play” you often hear—those numbers don’t make sense unless you’re into baseball.

Whether it gets through to people or not, that’s exactly the spirit—and the charm—of this song.

But what exactly are we ‘releasing’ in this ‘release exercise,’ anyway?

It’s only a minute long, but it’s packed with grand adventures.

Even years after its 2007 release, its momentum hasn’t waned at all.

Why not sing it and feel like a hero yourself?

Kanpei Hazama, beloved across generations for his lighthearted gags, released “Hirake! Tulip” in 1975.

Its comical lyrics about pachinko leave a strong impression.

With its somewhat retro vibe, it’s perfect for karaoke with senior colleagues or your boss.

Try singing it coolly to the rhythmic accompaniment.

It’s also fun to have everyone sing the phrase at the end of the chorus together.

Since the song doesn’t require a wide vocal range and has an easy-to-follow beat, it’s a comic song that even those lacking confidence in their singing can tackle with ease.
