This is a heart-thumping number that colored the ending of the anime Pokémon Sun & Moon.

The tongue twisters and rhythmic phrases that make kids want to imitate them naturally bring a smile to your face just by listening.

The track was released in April 2017 as a split single with Satoshi with Pikachu, and was later included on the concept album OT WORKS, which compiles tie-in songs.

Packed with the playful spirit characteristic of Okazaki Taiiku, it’s a song that brightens and lifts the mood at any time.

Kamo River Equidistance, which candidly sings about the feelings of lovers sitting at equal intervals along the Kamo River, is a song by Okazaki Taiiku, known for his comedic tracks.

It vividly portrays the growing gap between the maturing self and the widening world.

From a bridge overlooking the lovers by the Kamo River, the narrator wonders if, in reality, he is the one being looked down on—capturing that anxiety and inner conflict in a real and tangible way.

Beyond his comedic songs, these pieces that carry his bittersweet emotions are also part of Okazaki Taiiku’s appeal.

It’s a wistful number that stays true to a self that tends to see the world at a slight angle, honestly singing a sentimental heart.

A series of commercials titled “Minna de Tsukuru I-RO-HA-SU no Uta” for I LOHAS, the mineral water sold by Coca-Cola, is currently running.

The song featured in the commercials is based on “Minna de Tsukuru I-RO-HA-SU no Uta,” created by Okazaki Taiiku, with the lyrics sung in various regional dialects for the different ads.

The commercials skillfully showcase regional characteristics through the cast, filming locations, and linguistic expressions in the lyrics.

Be sure to check out the versions from different regions.

You might think it’s a playful track, but its mellow tone and visuals make it quietly moving.

The processed vocals sound cool, and it never gets old no matter how many times I listen to it.

If you focus on the lyrics, which evoke tragic conflict, it really makes you think about a world that keeps repeating history.

By the way, “Spetsnaz” is Russian for “special purpose forces,” or special operations units.

ExplainOkazaki Taiiku26rank/position

This is a song by Okazaki Taiiku that became a smash hit and drew attention for its YouTube views.

The meaning of the word is “to explain.” It’s a song with the unusual angle of explaining the song itself.

That alone is interesting, but in the second verse he even comes out and admits it’s lip-synced.

How are we supposed to express that at karaoke… (lol)?

You think it’s the famous Momotaro song, but then it suddenly switches to dubstep—a tour de force of a track.

His signature sense of humor explodes here; you can’t help but laugh.

Yet what’s truly impressive is that even the supposedly jokey dubstep section is incredibly cool.

It’s an arrangement that can only be described as masterful.

While Okazaki Taiiku is strongly associated with creating unconventional tracks, in this work he presents a mid-tempo, hip-hop-tinged ballad reminiscent of Ketsumeishi.

The lyrics, rich with distinctive word sounds, accentuate the song’s sense of weightless drift.

Be sure to check out the music video too, which has a distinctly DIY feel.
