Expo lover! Tatsuo Kamon sings “Osaka-Kansai Expo” with love for the Expo and for Osaka/Kansai. Original song: ‘Minato no Yoko, Yokohama, Yokosuka.’

This is a song brimming with Tatsuo Kamon’s heartfelt feelings for the Osaka-Kansai Expo, brought to you by a leading figure in Osaka’s music scene.

It brilliantly blends nostalgia for the Osaka Expo of the past with excitement for the new Expo, drawing you in with its upbeat rhythm and Kamon’s witty, lighthearted narration.

The arrangement, based on hit songs from the Showa era, is also outstanding, striking a perfect balance between a nostalgic atmosphere and a contemporary sound.

Although it was released digitally in December 2024, the track already captures the growing excitement ahead of the Expo.

It’s recommended not only for Expo enthusiasts but also for anyone looking to rediscover the charms of Osaka and the Kansai region.

GO! GO! Parody Song MedleyKamon Tatsuo9rank/position

GO! GO! Parody Song Medley

It’s a medley that takes songs everyone has heard—starting with children’s songs—and rearranges them with comical lyrics.

Just when you think the lyrics are the same as the original, they start to veer off little by little, subverting listener expectations in various ways.

Another key point is the parodies that focus on the sound of the words, leading to big developments that aren’t related to the story, which adds to the comedy.

It’s a fun, lighthearted medley that sneaks in moments of shock amid the easygoing music.

TK parody song medleyKamon Tatsuo10rank/position

Actually, Mr. Komuro and I are the same age.

It’s a medley that lines up Tetsuya Komuro’s songs and presents parody versions of them, creating a sense of consistency within its comedic style.

While the lyrics are humorous, the sound and melodies are conscious of the originals, and that stylishness further accentuates the fun.

What’s important is which words are used at the very beginning of each song’s chorus; they bring out similar words and expand ideas from there.

With the overlap of fast-paced sound and comedic lyrics, it feels like a piece that expresses fun in a straightforward way.

Go! Go! Hiroshi Kawaguchi!!Kamon Tatsuo11rank/position

Go! Go! Hiroshi Kawaguchi!!

Speaking of Showa-era comic songs, you can’t leave out Tatsuwo Kamon.

His song “Go! Go! Hiroshi Kawaguchi!!” is a track that uses a real person’s name as its title and subject.

Hiroshi Kawaguchi was active as an actor and an explorer.

The TV show “Kawaguchi Hiroshi’s Expedition Team,” which aired starting in 1977 and featured him as an explorer, became very popular, and this song is based on that theme.

You might think it’s an anthem cheering on explorers, but it’s actually full of punchlines—in fact, the song relentlessly pokes fun at the show itself—making it a rather darkly humorous number.

Come on! Kanmon MarchKamon Tatsuo12rank/position

Tatsuo Kamon - Come On! Kanmon March

A local march brimming with regional pride, crafted by Tatsuo Kamon, known for his comical style.

Set against the Kanmon Straits linking Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi Prefecture and Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture, it portrays the lively bustle of two cities joining hands—just listening to it lifts your spirits.

The song was created as the theme for a JR West tourism campaign launched in October 2005.

Its lyrics convey Kamon’s warm message of energizing the community.

For anyone planning a trip to the Kanmon area, it’s the perfect track to play before departure to heighten your anticipation.

Hamburger Shop - Tatsuo Kamon

Speaking of comedy novelty songs, we can’t forget Tatsuo Kamon! From among his many humorous tracks, let me introduce “Hamburger Shop.” Every burger joint has a manual, and staff generally follow it for customer service and food prep.

That’s only natural, but depending on the situation, it can feel a bit off… The lyrics poke fun at this kind of strictly-by-the-manual customer service at burger shops.

Since much of the song is in dialogue, even if you’re not good at singing, you can just read the lyrics in a funny way and you’re set! In any case, with Tatsuo Kamon’s songs, being funny is far more important than vocal prowess!

Hell Sports FestivalKamon Tatsuo14rank/position

Tatsuo Kamon: Hell Sports Festival

The B-side track to the 1994 single “Southern Parody Mega Medley.” Born in 1959, he is a singer-songwriter from Osaka Prefecture.

Set to Hermann Necke’s piece “Csikós Post,” this song features an elementary school student who’s bad at sports as the protagonist, expressing in the lyrics how much they don’t want to participate in the school sports day.

It’s a comic song very characteristic of him.
