Ulfuls – It Makes Me Want to Cry

This is a single released by Ulfuls in 2007.

It was also used as the theme song for the film “A Dog Named Palma.” While simple, the sound and vocals carry a sense of strength, and the moderate tempo gives the impression of something staying by your side and encouraging you.

It evokes an image of cherishing the small, everyday scenes and, even in difficult times, teaching you to move steadily toward the future, one step at a time.

It’s a warm, gentle anthem of support.

Osaka StrutUrufuruzu16rank/position

Ulfuls – Osaka Strut

Although this song is often heard in Kansai and strongly evokes the atmosphere of Osaka, it is actually a cover of Eiichi Ohtaki’s “Fussa Strut part 2.” That said, only the sound and maybe a single word of the lyrics remain from the original—there’s a huge difference in the amount of information packed into the songs.

With lyrics that conjure up the streets of Osaka and dialogues in Osaka dialect that bring the characters to life, it incorporates an abundance of flashy, chaotic elements, resulting in a track that truly captures the feel of Osaka.
