If you’re going to tackle the big year-end clean, you might as well make it fun, right? Released by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai in December 2024, this track vividly captures, with a heavyweight loud rock sound, the inner tug-of-war we feel between the “can’t-throw-it-away” mindset and the reality that “it has to be cleaned up.” Even when we know something’s unnecessary, the conflict of piling on excuses like “I might use it someday” accelerates through the repetition of simple phrases and hard-hitting riffs.

First unveiled at the tour finale at LaLa arena TOKYO-BAY in Chiba, the song’s live performance—bottling up the venue’s raw heat—has been released as the music video.

Its call-and-response design fosters a sense of unity with the audience and has an addictive quality that makes you want to hum along while cleaning.

Even if you can’t quite get yourself moving, with this song, tidying up is bound to turn into an enjoyable time.

Planet of CatsUchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai “Planet of the Cats”

A three-piece band with male and female members formed in 2004.

Their band name is pretty odd, and many of their songs are a bit unusual too—ranging from super-relatable anthems to tracks about food.

They’re a band you can enjoy live, where you can shout out the names of foods from the bottom of your heart.

Recently, they’ve been in the spotlight after the bassist, Junko, publicly announced that she had turned 60.

TAVEMONO NO URAMIUchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai "TAVEMONO NO URAMI"

As the phrase suggests, this is a song about a grudge over food.

Throughout the track, it keeps singing about how the pudding saved in the fridge was eaten.

You can tell that grudges over food are terrifyingly deep-rooted—so much so that a single incident can fill an entire song.

Island Nation DNAUchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai "Island Nation DNA"

As you can tell from the lyrics suddenly starting with the character for “fish,” it’s a song about seafood, and its message encourages eating fish.

The music video is also set on the vast ocean, expressing the song’s worldview.

It’s a track brimming with love for an island nation, proclaiming that eating fish is etched into the DNA of the Japanese people.

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai “Fronel”

It’s a song that, from the very beginning, sings about a “plan to take a bath and crash into bed right away,” laying out the comforts of the night before a day off and the holiday itself.

It sounds delightful as it maps out how to make bath time even more fulfilling and tries out different ways to sleep.

NikutabeikōUchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai “Let’s Eat Meat!”

When you go out for yakiniku, I recommend listening to this song first to get your whole body into a meat-eating mindset.

This band also has plenty of awesome tracks where they go all-in while leaning into humor, like “Japan’s Rice Is the Best in the World” and “I Don’t Want to Get Out of My Futon,” so definitely give them a listen.
