Naotaro Moriyama poop

Speaking of Naotaro Moriyama, he’s a renowned Japanese singer who has released countless masterpieces—but he’s actually sung a song like this, too… (lol).

The simple title might catch your eye, but the melody itself is deeply moving and beautiful.

The lyrics, however… That contrast is delightfully surreal and amusing, making it a perfect number for anyone confident in their vocal ability.

If you get a chance to sing at a party, karaoke, or do a live performance, give it a try! Just keep in mind the theme is what it is, so decide whether to perform it based on the time, place, and occasion.

Dragon sewing kit (lol)Chōnōryoku Senshi Dorian

Psychic Warrior Dorian: 'Dragon Sewing Kit (lol)'

Do you remember the thrill of flipping through the home economics supply catalog back in elementary school? This song by Psychic Warrior Dorian belts out that universal moment of “choosing your sewing kit” with full force.

Among designs like sporty brand knockoffs and supercar prints, it’s a nostalgic, laugh-inducing track that brings back the oddly specific memory of picking the dragon pattern for some reason.

It’s included on the mini-album ‘Oozora Cruising,’ released in July 2024.

Perform it at a party, and you’ll definitely spark a chorus of “Oh yeah, that!” from friends of the same generation.

This Year for Sure: Gyaru — Early Summer Ver.hanabie

Hanabie. – This Year for Sure, Gal ~Early Summer ver.~ Be the GAL ~Early Summer ver.~ – Music Video [HANABIE.]

A loud, heavy-sounding girls’ band with beautiful death growls: Hanabie.

There’s a period at the end of their group name.

Members Yukina and Hettsun liked the band Cocoa Otoko—note that in their name the period comes after the word “Otoko” (man)—so they copied that idea.

Their track This Year For Sure, Gal ~Early Summer ver.~ is perfect for parties with a club vibe.

It’s great as background music, and it’s guaranteed to make a huge impact if you perform it at karaoke.

The highlights are the death growls and the stylish rap parts, so be sure to split the parts and sing them!

This is “Dirty Work” by the Western pop artist Austin Mahone.

This song is used in the routines of the hugely popular female comedian Chiemi Blouson.

So how about playing it while doing her routine? She’s a very popular comedian, and people often hear this song, so it should really liven things up! Recently, it seems a mixed version of Dirty Work by Austin Mahone and Chiemi Blouson has also been released.

GOLDFINGER ’99Gō Hiromi

Hiromi Go – Goldfinger 99

The chorus of this song is very famous.

It’s a track everyone can get excited about—singing in a jacket, doing slick jacket moves, and joining in the choreography.

Since people of many different ages know it, I think it’s a song that works well in a variety of situations.

Effeminate / Golden Bomber – Music Video

This is a classic hype song from the Heisei era.

One of the charms of “Memeshikute” is that everyone can dance together to the chorus, which makes it really popular because it gets the crowd going.

It’s also great that it’s such a famous song that many people know it.
