If you only have two dancers, why not go bold and show up dressed as a village headman and a tenant farmer? Among Rekishi’s songs, the especially popular, breezy, feel-good pop numbers are perfect for a year-end party performance.
And don’t forget to prepare a sack of rice as a prop.
SHIKIBU feat. Awa no Odoriko (Chatmonchy)rekishi
You get to enjoy high-quality pop songs with luxurious guest vocals, and you even learn some history along the way.
That’s Rekishi—Takafumi Ikeda’s much-talked-about solo project.
This track features the Awa dancer (Chatmonchy).
The music video was shot on location in Kyoto.
It’s great for covering with a band, or for screening a parody of the MV.

The song was used in a commercial for Daihatsu’s compact tall wagon, the “Thor,” and its theme is family growth.

Chatmonchy participated under the Rekishi-name (stage name for guest musicians) “Awa no Odoriko” (Awa Dancer).
Let’s ninjarekishi
It’s like, when this person sings a ninja-themed song, it somehow turns stylish.
Normally you’d imagine ninja songs being upbeat and high-energy, but this one feels kind of mellow.
And when Rekishi says “ninja,” for some reason it sounds like a different English word—so strange.
