SAY KOU SHOWRobāto Akiyama

Robert Akiyama’s masterpiece “SAY KOU SHOW.” It’s a relatively recent song, and with its lyrics packed full of dirty jokes, it seems to land better with people in their twenties and up than with teens.

Despite being a comic song, it features a groovy, smooth melody.

The vocal range is narrow and mostly sits in the lower to mid register, so most men can sing it in the original key without trouble.

It’s a song that’s more about expression than technique, so it’s best performed with exaggerated facial expressions in true Akiyama style.

That's good too / MV by Kocchi no Kento

Kocchinoken, a multi-creator whose household name skyrocketed with the 2024 hit song “Hai Yorokonde,” released a track in May 2025 titled “Sore mo Ii ne,” written specifically as the theme song for the children’s TV program The Wakey Show.

Because it was composed for kids, it’s extremely catchy and easy to remember, with a melody that even those who aren’t confident singers can enjoy singing.

For example, it would surely be a hit at family karaoke when a dad sings it for the children.

Of course, it’s also great for adults to sing together and feel like kids again!
