MONGOL800 - KAME (Turtle)

It’s included on the fourth album, “Daniel.” We set out to make a goofy song everyone could sing together at shows, and this is what came out.

It’s a punk-leaning number that even works in some “Oi!” chants.

The spontaneously written lyrics are unique.

A summer tradition delivered by the Okinawan rock band MONGOL800.

With a light, breezy rhythm and a simple instrumental setup, this song paints a picture of Okinawa’s eternal summer.

It humorously captures the helplessness and resignation we feel in everyday life when the heat gets overwhelming.

Although fed up with the summer heat, the song carries a positive message about keeping your head up and moving forward.

Give it a listen on a scorching summer day, and you’ll find your spirits lifting.

Hum along with your friends and blow the heat away!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" MONGOL800 - Japanese to English Translation

Since all the lyrics are in English, it might be a song that’s hard to sing and understand.

However, because it has an up-tempo melody, I think it would definitely liven things up if you played or sang it at a celebration.

Also, if you can sing it, it’s the kind of song that will make you look really cool.
