SUSSYNCYU’s iconic and popular songs
Introducing songs by Su-xing-cyu, the self-proclaimed “Japan’s most tear-jerking comic band.” While their humor shines through not only in their songs but also in their live performances and even their CD titles, they also have tracks that are emotional and hit you right in the heart.
They’re not just goofing around—listen to their music that truly grabs us fans by the heart.
SUSSYOKU’s Best and Most Popular Songs (1–10)
oni; demon; ogre; spirit (depending on context)yonseikyu
This piece, included on the album “Futen no Hana” released in January 2011 by Su-xing-cyu (a comic band based in Tokushima), humorously portrays inner conflicts and everyday pressures.
The lyrics, which call our daily little obsessions “demons” and turn them into gags, will make you burst out laughing.
But it’s not just funny—the heartfelt desire not to be swept along by those around us really resonates.
How about playing this track along with your bean-throwing this Setsubun and laughing away the timid little demons in your heart?
Dr. Clark and Meyonseikyu
Many of Su-xing-cyu’s songs have unique titles.
This one also has a distinctive title, but I think the phrase “A life that began without my knowing is ending without my knowing” resonates with fans.
It’s a song I hope people won’t dismiss because of the title, but instead take the time to listen to carefully.
Omo-Ro Never Knowsyonseikyu
The song begins with a gentle arpeggio, and after the first chorus it shifts into a brisk, fast-paced track.
Until the spoken-word section, it sings about ordinary, everyday life, but the lyrics are comical and full of “laughs,” characteristic of them as a comic band.
From the point where the spoken style comes in, it turns into an encouraging message to us, the listeners, and it reaches the end without losing its sense of speed.
Yokai: Laughing and Cryingyonseikyu
At first glance at the title you might think, “What on earth is this?” but if you read the lyrics carefully and listen, it runs deep.
The lines about how laughing a lot brings tears, and wondering if after crying a lot you can laugh—those really hit home.
Even though they’re a comic band, the way they have lyrics that pierce the heart is probably a big part of why they capture so many fans and don’t let go.
UMA WITH A MISSIONyonseikyu
Born from the delightfully outlandish idea of everyone cheering on a newborn foal as it struggles to stand, this is a track by Su-Xing-Cyu (Yonseikyu).
Released in February 2023, it was included on the 2024 album “Otokedokei” (Sound Clock).
Its lively tempo naturally brings a smile to your face.
Perform it at a party and, despite the goofy premise, it somehow ends up really moving—guaranteed to set that kind of mood! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to raise their voices together and get the crowd going.
Fyuu-chanyonseikyu
The way the song starts with a gentle arpeggio is similar to “Omoro Never Knows,” but it remains a tender, ballad-like piece.
The song’s content follows a single storyline: a boy from the future, “Fyu-chan,” sings, “I want to change your future for you, but since I can’t, I’ll at least stay by your side,” and in the end he says, “Until we meet again,” and leaves.
It’s a track that makes you feel as if you’re being cheered on with a “Hang in there until we meet again.”

It kicks off with an upbeat triple-time feel right from the intro, shifts to gentle guitar strokes in the first verse, then switches to lively backing in the chorus—a structure with clear dynamics.
The quietness in the verse makes the explosive power of the chorus all the more striking.
The lyrics flow comically yet convincingly, making you think, “Now that you mention it, that really does make sense.”
The hotpot boss takes on paellayonseikyu
This track is the third song on their fifth full-length album, “Shusshesaku” (Breakthrough Work).
It embodies that quintessential Yonseikyu comic band vibe! Just listening to it puts you in a good mood—that’s their charm! Also keep an eye out for the alien from past works appearing in the music video!
LAUGH LAUGH LAUGHyonseikyu
The music video is set at a wedding, which fits the song perfectly.
Its straightforward lyrics and simple melody are moving.
The lyrics also mention three kinds of LAUGH.
It’s a touching track that’s very much like Su-Xing-Cyu, focusing not only on love but also on LAUGH—smiles.
Your backyonseikyu
When it comes to rock stars from Tokushima, it has to be Su-Xing-Cyu (Shikoku no Hoshikuzu)! Even after their major-label debut, they’ve remained based in Tokushima Prefecture and are known for developing music activities rooted in their hometown.
Briefs and happi coats, cardboard crafts and comic songs—their musical style is full of quirks that invite plenty of playful critique.
Yet their love for Tokushima, and the love they receive from Tokushima, are on another level.
From Shikoku-wide tours to solo shows at halls in Tokushima, their activities as a rock band representing Shikoku are nothing short of impressive.
