Dialect parody songs (1–10)
Sanuki dialect love
An acoustic guitar cover of Gen Hoshino’s “Koi” in Sanuki dialect.
“Koi” is famous as a 2016 hit that blew up along with the “Koi Dance.” Amid all the attention on the dance, covering it in Sanuki dialect really shows some flair.
Even with the lyrics changed, the arrangement sounds natural and goes down smoothly.
The soothing, gentle vocals are heartwarming.
Kumamoto dialect thread
A Fukuoka-dialect cover of Miyuki Nakajima’s “Ito.” “Ito” is a ballad often sung at weddings, and many people have probably been moved to tears by it.
So what happens when this classic is covered in the Fukuoka dialect? The dialect adds a sense of intimacy and familiarity, making it almost feel like a family member is singing it.
Akita Dialect Christmas Song
Christmas Song, released by back number in 2015.
back number’s lyrics convey the feelings of being in love in a poignant yet powerful way, and that world doesn’t change even when sung in the Akita dialect.
The straightforward feeling of “I like you” comes through even more honestly.
When you’ve got a burning feeling, you want to express it in your own words without trying to act cool!
Dialect Parody Songs (11–20)
Hamamatsu dialect: Until we meet again
They’re singing Kiyohiko Ozaki’s song released in 1971 in the Hamamatsu dialect (Enshū-ben).
Even within Shizuoka Prefecture, it seems a bit different from the Shizuoka City dialect.
At first you might think it sounds like standard Japanese, but as it approaches the chorus, the dialect really comes out! The words have a quite delightful ring to them.
The chorus endings use “ni” and “ra,” and these “ni” and “ra” feel somehow so endearing.
Fukuoka Dialect Osaka LOVER
A cover of DREAMS COME TRUE’s “Osaka LOVER” in Fukuoka dialect.
The lyrics include local in-jokes, so it’s even more enjoyable if you get the references.
It’s an a cappella cover, with vocal percussion and harmonized chorus parts that elevate the track.
Aomori Dialect Senbonzakura
They’re singing a song released by Wagakki Band in 2014 in the Aomori dialect.
Since it’s a fast-tempo song, the dialect doesn’t stand out much at first.
In the original, each instrument has a solo during the interlude, but in this video they’ve put Aomori-dialect lines in that section, which is pretty fun! The Aomori dialect ends up sounding surprisingly rock!
Miyazaki Dialect: User Guide
A video has been uploaded of Kana Nishino’s “Torisetsu,” a wedding staple, sung in the Miyazaki dialect.
It’s packed with Miyazaki-specific jokes that’ll make locals nod along, featuring expressions like the region’s classics and accents “tege tege” and “choru,” as well as “dogen to sen to ikan,” which actually isn’t used there.
