A popular pop-funky song by MONKEY MAJIK. A masterpiece that cherishes Japanese tradition.

MONKEY MAJIK is a rock band known for hit songs like “Sora wa Marude.” Formed in Aomori in 2000, the band went through member changes and now consists of Canadian brothers Maynard Plant (vocals/guitar) and Blaise Plant, along with Japanese members DICK on bass and tax on drums—a hybrid four-piece.

They rose to fame with the hit “Around The World,” the theme song for the drama Saiyuki.

Their music features beautiful, Japanese-focused lyrics and catchy melodies.

At the same time, their covers and collaborations with celebrities and artists showcase a free-spirited sense of fun that’s a big part of MONKEY MAJIK’s appeal.

Many of their songs carry a funky, comfortable groove that lifts your spirits.

Enjoy a wealth of classic tracks from MONKEY MAJIK, who are based in Sendai!

Selected as the theme song for NHK Sendai Broadcasting Station’s Tohoku six-prefecture block network program “Nattoku! Koko Tohoku.” It’s a medium-tempo cheer song that speaks to yourself and your friends who can’t take the first step for fear of regret, saying you should spread your wings like a seagull and soar into the sky.

They’re known for music that blends naturally into its surroundings.

Although its release is undecided at the time of writing, this track also features an upbeat sound with a rhythmic melody that melts into a natural atmosphere.

The English lyrics are, as expected, really cool! It seems perfect as BGM for a family outing, and it’s got the kind of cool vibe that fits when you’re cruising and want a sleek mood.
