The lyrics were written by KOCHO, the music composed by Kosuke Okui, and the arrangement by Takeshi Nakatsuka.

Choreographed by Eri Ayaki, the Kebon Dance was created, and its participatory staging—letting parents and children jump and clap together—became a hot topic.

You pure motherfuckersKishidan
As a CD single from Kishidan, this is their first new track in an incredible 5 years and 8 months.
Written by Show Ayanokoji, it serves as the theme song for the drama “Donketsu,” airing from April 25, 2025! It’s a hot, rough-and-ready rock band sound that’s quintessentially Kishidan and perfectly matches the yakuza-themed world of the drama.
The melody line is very straightforward, and with the same chorus melody recurring, it shouldn’t be hard to memorize.
Also, as you’d expect from a Kishidan song, the vocal range isn’t too high, making it comfortable for male singers.
It sounds coolest when you sing with a clenched-fist, power-through vibe! Just be careful to keep your throat relaxed and not tense up.
Using gestures helps you naturally loosen up and makes it easier to sing.
Be sure to learn the choreography and have fun singing along!

Listening to it while facing your bare self before putting on makeup might help you learn to love yourself as you are.
It also makes a perfect BGM for an unadorned day spent with someone special.
