Roppongi TsunderellaDJ OZMA

There have always been “flashy” songs that are a hit as jokes.

DJ OZMA’s “Roppongi Tsundere-la” is one of those flashy tracks, but the original is actually the official cheer song of the Turkish soccer team Galatasaray, and this version is a cover.

Once you know that, it really does sound like a cheer song, doesn’t it? More recently, it made waves as a high school baseball cheer song.

The MV is also fun, featuring tightly synchronized para para dance moves.

Rock The NationDED CHAPLIN

Featuring a lineup of legendary figures whose names are etched into Japan’s heavy metal and hard rock scene, the short-lived band Dead Chaplin kept up a high pace of activity, releasing an album a year, yet disbanded after about three years.

Formed in 1989 as a band that grew out of a solo project by vocalist Minoru Niihara—renowned worldwide as the frontman of Loudness—the original members were guitarist Yukihiro “Chachamaru” Fujimura, bassist Toshimi Nagai, and drummer Kozo Suganuma.

Beyond Niihara’s astonishing vocal performance, the band’s ensemble—driven by the technical prowess of these seasoned musicians—was truly world-class.

Sadly, they never achieved commercial success and remain a hidden gem known to the initiated.
