It’s one of the theme songs from the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro.

PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH
This is the sixth digital-only single by RADIO FISH, a music group formed around the comedy duo Oriental Radio.

Not only the song but also the dance performance—including the “Flying Man”—is of high quality, and its catchiness gets even kids singing and dancing with high energy.
It’s a perfect song for when you want a boost.
