FUNKY MONKEY BABYS “Confession”

There must be plenty of people in their thirties today who can’t help but squint with nostalgia at the sight of Eiichiro Funakoshi’s jacket with an umbrella.

“Kokuhaku” (Confession) is a hit song released in 2008, a masterpiece that belts out incredibly straightforward, honest lyrics with all its might.

True to their style, the lyrics are packed with words and delivered at a slightly rapid pace, but it’s quintessential 2000s J‑POP, and for those who were in their teens to twenties back then and are now in their thirties, it likely feels like the melody of their youth—something they can sing with ease.

Just a heads-up: the final chorus modulates up by a half step!

A song filled with gratitude and love for someone special has arrived from FUNKY MONKEY BABYS.

Released in November 2008, it was also chosen as the theme song for the film “Love Fight.” This work layers heartwarming lyrics over a friendly, faintly nostalgic melody.

It gently conveys the happiness and courage that the presence of someone important brings.

It’s perfect for those who want to express the bonds of friendship and the value of time spent together.
