Songs with titles starting with 'Ya' (81–90)

YATTA!happatai

The comedy group Happa-tai, known for their positive outlook and outlandishly unconventional performances, is irresistibly captivating.

Born from the variety show “Warau Inu no Bōken,” they released a song in April 2001—amid a recession—that bursts with an upbeat message encouraging listeners to move forward in life with a positive attitude.

Its addictive, earworm melody and their shocking appearance clad in just a single leaf of lettuce quickly made them the talk of the town.

The single reached No.

6 on the Oricon charts and sparked a huge reaction overseas, leading to an appearance on the popular American talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in March 2003.

It’s the perfect staple for parties and events—a track you’ll want to play when you’re feeling down or when you want to get everyone hyped.

No matter what state you’re in, there’s nothing more uplifting than having someone who believes in you, right? When I listen to this song, I’m reminded that as long as we keep the promise we made that day, I won’t lose sight of myself no matter who laughs at me, and I can overcome anything.

And it makes me want to believe, to the very end, in the people who truly matter to me, no matter what happens.
