Collection of Hilariously Silly Songs [Humor] (11–20)

The Song of My Popular Phaseaidoringu!!!

A song by Idoling!!! that takes on the sudden arrival of a “moe period” (a surge in popularity or attractiveness), capturing a mindset that blends shyness with newfound confidence through a poppy sound and impeccable tempo.

While flustered by the intense attention from the opposite sex, the protagonist secretly delights in it—a situation portrayed with humor.

Like pulling a “fateful encounter” from a fortune cookie, the protagonist’s popularity graph is soaring.

Metaphors comparing this popularity boom to graphs, mountain ranges, and even sumo wrestling evoke laughter, making it a classic that symbolizes pop culture in the golden age of idols.

Released in January 2008 as a double A-side with their second single, Snow celebration, it reached No.

9 on the Oricon charts, marking the group’s first Top 10 entry.

Whether you long for your popularity peak, are in the thick of it, or look back on it nostalgically, this is a song anyone can relate to and laugh with.

Drifters’ tongue twistersZa Dorifutāzu

This is a fresh, humorous piece that fires off classic Japanese tongue twisters one after another over a funky groove.

Released in June 1981, the song is a comic number with lyrics by Chosuke Ikariya and music by Akihiko Takashima.

From “nama mugi, nama gome, nama tamago” to “tonari no takegaki take tatekaketa,” familiar tongue twisters are delivered with each Drifters member’s uniquely expressive voice and performance.

The inventive arrangement, which incorporates Wilson Pickett–style rhythms, also shines.

Included on the album “Drif no Hayakuchi Kotoba,” it was performed in the “Shonen Shojo Gasshodai” segment of TBS’s “Hachiji da yo! Zen’in Shugo.” It’s a purely fun track that makes you want to sing and play along with friends during school breaks.

Rice is a side dish.Hōkago Tī Taimu

A humorous song that sings of boundless love for rice has been born.

Its striking lyrics flip the usual perspective by positioning rice—normally considered a side to the main dish—as the “side dish” itself.

To a breezy pop-punk sound, it rattles off pairings of rice with various foods like ramen and okonomiyaki.

Released in September 2010 as a double A-side single by Ho-kago Tea Time, it reached No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Also performed during the school festival scene in Episode 20 of the anime K-On!!, the track packs laughter and energy while deftly incorporating Kansai’s food culture.

It’s a perfect number for school festivals and live-event interludes.

The Drunkard Has ReturnedZa Fōku Kurusedāzu

A masterpiece that depicts a zany journey back and forth between heaven and earth, delivered with a startlingly high-pitched voice and a uniquely comical narration.

Released in December 1967, this song humorously recounts the outlandish exchange between a man who died in a drunk-driving accident and the gatekeeper in heaven.

Its experimental sound—featuring sped-up tape-processed vocals and snippets of the Heart Sutra and classical music—brilliantly brings a surreal world to life.

Upon release, it became an unprecedented smash hit, and in 1968 it was used as the theme song for a Toei film of the same title.

Silly yet sharp with social satire, it’s perfect for party or banquet entertainment.

Recommended for those looking to liven up a drinking gathering or seeking an off-the-wall comedy song.

Temple Zukkyun! Ryoho-ji of Love!#toromi / ayu

Born in November 2010 as an unprecedented temple PR song that fuses Buddhism and anime music, this track is an ambitious work born from the efforts of Ryōhō-ji, a Nichiren Buddhist temple in Hachioji City, which utilized moe-style characters.

Carried by the cute vocals of Toromi and Ayu, phrases from sutras and Buddhist terminology are woven in with exquisite balance, resulting in a fresh, smile-inducing piece you can’t help but enjoy each time you listen.

The song was also featured as an insert track in the anime Samurai Flamenco, drawing attention among anime fans.

Its unique worldview, which pop-ifies Buddhist elements such as ascetic training and enlightenment, has refreshed the image of temples.
