Parody song in a dialect

I’ll collect and introduce parody songs sung in various dialects.

It turns out there are quite a few dialect songs out there—you just might not know them.

Sometimes there are songs where you’re like, “I have no idea what they’re saying!” but that’s part of the fun, too.

Parody Songs in Dialects (21–30)

Yamagata Dialect Robinson

Robinson dialect (Yamagata-ben) Spitz cover PV | Japan’s No. 1 folk song
Yamagata Dialect Robinson

They sing “Robinson” in the Yamagata dialect.

With its warm tone, you can enjoy a distinctly different take on the song.

At first the dialect feels a bit unfamiliar, but the singing is so good that you can’t help but get drawn in.

This person also covers various other songs in the Yamagata dialect, so be sure to check those out too!

Yamagata Dialect Cotton Handkerchief

Cotton Handkerchief (Yamagata Dialect) – Saya Asakura
Yamagata Dialect Cotton Handkerchief

Sayaka Asakura, a singer-songwriter from Yamagata Prefecture, performs Hiromi Ota’s signature 1975 song “Momen no Handkerchief” in the Yamagata dialect.

The lyrics are structured as a dialogue, a unique composition in which a man and a woman exchange their feelings.

Sung in the Yamagata dialect, the words take on a distinctive flavor.

From the woman’s aching feelings for her lover far away, you can sense the gentle strength of a woman who endures harsh cold with quiet resilience.

Hokkaido dialect, right?NORTH END x AYUMI from SAPPORO

An arrangement of EAST END × YURI’s hit song “DA.YO.NE” in the Hokkaido dialect, aptly titled “DA.BE.SA.” It’s sung by “Mister” Takayuki Suzui from the unusually popular local TV show How Do You Like Wednesday?, his ex-wife Ayumi Ito, and Ryusuke Denno.

It’s packed with keywords that people from Hokkaido will be very familiar with.
