Counting Song of Happiness / George Tokoro

Included on the 1997 album “20th Anniversary Canniversary.” Though it turns everyday happiness into a counting song, it’s relentlessly light and up-tempo, sometimes speaking of “happiness” with an almost excessive nonchalance.

One of Tokoro’s hidden gems.

This is a piece that has been used for many years as the entrance theme of mixed martial artist Hideo Tokoro.

It was created by George Tokoro—well known as a TV personality—and included on his July 2006 album Anzen Daini (Safety Second).

It’s also known for having been written specifically for Hideo Tokoro as part of a TV show project, inspired by the fact that they share the same surname.

Set to a powerful rock sound, the song is a stirring number that gives voice to the resolve to face battle and the mental strength to overcome adversity.

In July 2024, after winning a match that would determine his retirement, Tokoro himself said it had “given me courage so many times,” underscoring how deeply the song is tied to him.

Tokoro George – Not in One’s Right Mind

A song packed with the playful spirit that’s so typical of George Tokoro.

Part of the title riffs on “Saturday Night,” doesn’t it? It’s a track from his 1977 debut album, “George First: Keep Your Hands Off the Cash!!,” and it was used as the theme song for the variety show “TV Pirate Channel.” For some, it might bring back memories of Saturdays from back in the day.

It also carries a cool R&B vibe.

It’s exactly the kind of song you’d want to sing on a Saturday night—in the bath or at karaoke.
