Parody of ‘Kanpaku Sengen’: ‘Koki Sengen’ (Seventieth Birthday Declaration)sadamasashi42rank/position

Koki Declaration — Parody Song “Kanpaku Declaration” OZSONG.88

Let’s try singing a parody of Masashi Sada’s massive hit.

Here’s an idea for “Koki Sengen” (Seventieth-Birthday Declaration), a parody of “Kanpaku Sengen” (The Regent’s Declaration).

While “Kanpaku Sengen” is characterized by lyrics that demand a husband’s authority yet reveal weakness and dependency, expressing clumsy affection, “Koki Sengen” humorously sings about things that may happen in the life ahead—messages to share before reaching one’s seventieth birthday.

Some of you might even feel, “Hey, this is about me!” Give it a try and make it your own.

Ms. Mariko

A track included on Masashi Sada’s 1982 album Yume no Wadachi.

It’s said that this “Mariko-san” is the same person who appears in Miyuki Nakajima’s classic song “Akujo,” and the song portrays the loneliness of a woman whose feelings aren’t understood.

“Mariko-san” seeks a moment of happiness in alcohol.

Though she appears strong, it depicts emotions everyone carries in their hearts, and it quietly pierces you.

The gap between the melancholic lyrics and the slightly upbeat sound also leaves you with an indescribable feeling.
