【MV】PERFECT HUMAN / RADIO FISH

The signature song of a dance-vocal unit formed around the two members of Oriental Radio.

Released in 2015, it’s their standout track, featuring an upbeat EDM vibe and cool lyrics with a touch of humor.

And of course, the most important element of the performance is the dance! A perfectly synchronized routine by all six members is guaranteed to get the crowd going.

If you can also recreate Shingo Fujimori’s rap part, it’ll be flawless!

TSUGARUIkuzo Yoshi

IKUZO YOSHI “TSUGARU” Music Video (Released digitally on September 12, 2019)

A rap number by enka singer Yoshikazu Mera (Yoshi Ikuzo) performed in the Tsugaru dialect of his home prefecture, Aomori! Just listening to it, you can hardly tell what he’s saying, and it’s incredibly addictive.

Since it’s tough for people from other regions to imitate, those from Aomori should take the lead and sing it! And if there’s no one from Aomori around, brave challengers are welcome to give it a try!

Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai “Japanese Rice Is the Best in the World”

If there are lots of people who like rock bands, I highly recommend the band Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai! Their songs are often about food or the kind of everyday situations that make everyone go, “So true!” Among them, this track is an ode to rice—super catchy and guaranteed to hype you up.

The shocking lyrics that repeatedly shout out the names of various rice bowls are sure to get laughs.

If you’re doing a band performance as a side act, this is the song to play; and of course, it’ll also fire up the crowd if you just sing it at karaoke!

ff (fortissimo)Hound Dog

Fortissimo (ff) HOUND DOG

This song is a signature track by Hound Dog, the rock band fronted by Yasuhira Otomo.

Although it was released in 1985, it’s still a classic you hear all the time! What’s more, the person who helped introduce the song to a younger generation was the impressionist Ringo-chan.

She’s known for her cutesy persona, but clips of her singing this song with a powerful voice that rivals Otomo’s became a hot topic.

If there are any women out there who can belt with a rich, deep tone like Ringo-chan, definitely try singing this song and wow everyone with the contrast!

Circle of Life [The Lion King]

Not so good at singing? If that’s the kind of crowd you’ve got, The Lion King is the perfect challenge! Put on a homemade musical with DIY Lion King decorations set to the epic soundtrack.

And if someone comes out at the end as “Onishi Lion,” you’ll have the perfect punchline.
