Roppa Furukawa, who had a remarkable career as a king of comedy in the Showa era, also left behind many delightful songs as a singer.
This piece feels as if you’re listening to a lively comic monologue right before your eyes.
Carried by a rhythmic performance, it conjures up scenes of a trip to the tropics, and just listening to it makes your heart dance.

While he isn’t the type known for powerful vocals, he has created many classic songs with his catchy musical style.
Among his tracks, one I particularly recommend is LORIOUS DAYS.
