NEWS – Chankapāna [Official Music Video]

Even among Johnny’s songs, this is a very popular hype track.

Everyone can get excited together at the “Chankapāna” part of the chorus, so it’s also really popular with women.

It’s the kind of song that would make hearts flutter if a man sang it to pump up the crowd.

When you listen to it again, you can’t help but wonder what exactly an “Oshiri Kajiri Mushi” (Butt-Biting Bug) is.

The lyrics themselves—like “Biting is my job, so if I can’t bite, it’s all over”—are from a bafflingly whimsical world.

This kind of nonsensical humor would really hype up a party if performed as a skit.

The key is to sing it with full-on energy, so don’t be shy.

“Oshiri Kajiri Mushi” is also strongly associated with voice actress Tomoko Kaneda, so someone with a unique or anime-style voice might make it even more exciting.

If you’re usually serious, play the gap-moe card!

The dazzling music video featuring 32 female dancers became a hot topic as well.

It’s the perfect song to hype up a party or event, and it’s also recommended for those who want to project a cool, confident female image.

M.C. Hammer – U Can’t Touch This

I love it.

A friend did this as a performance at a party, but I’d actually never seen the real thing.

Even so, I laughed so hard! Watching the video again now makes it even funnier—it’s the best.

Just the background music alone makes it feel like something funny is about to happen.

MEGARYU / Ageage Hurricane

As the title suggests, it’s a party song that’ll get everyone hyped.

It seems like it would go off in clubs, too.

Girls wearing slightly sexy outfits or swimsuits and dancing—those slightly erotic touches would probably heat things up.
