With ELLEGARDEN’s fierce yet heartrending vocals, you might just forget your hectic days.

If I can laughUrufuruzu
The 24th single by Ulfuls, released in 2002.

It’s a very gentle cheer-up song that I’d recommend to men in their troubled thirties.

So as of July 2023, many people in their 30s have likely heard it.
As this was the 1990s, when the karaoke market was considered crucial for a song’s success, the track is structured to be very easy to remember and sing.
It’s a song I highly recommend even for those who don’t usually sing much.
Since it’s a slightly slow-tempo song, just be careful not to get ahead of the beat when you sing.
