Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

New EraAdo

[Parody Song] New Genesis Fat Ver. #Shorts #NewGenesis #Ado #Uta #ONEPIECEFILMRED

New Era Ado

Ado’s “New Genesis” has topped numerous music charts.

Since it’s the theme song for the smash-hit film ONE PIECE FILM RED, many people have probably heard it.

The song’s appeal lies in its bouncy sound and vocals that leap dramatically up and down in pitch.

That makes it quite challenging to sing at karaoke, but it also lends itself well to comedy: the gap between parody lyrics and skilled vocals can really get laughs.

When creating a parody, it’s easier if you pick a theme that rhymes with the title “Shinjidai” (New Genesis).

Ms. Hanako on a high pedestalback number

[Parody Song] That One Person Always in Cooking Class: “Hanako on the High Pedestal” lololol [back number]

Hanako, the unattainable flower by back number

Takane no Hanako-san, a candid song about unrequited love.

It’s one of back number’s signature masterpieces, right? Even that song, in the hands of the popular YouTubers Homies—known for their hilarious “relatable in all kinds of situations” bits—gets transformed into a song about “classic moments in cooking class”! Cooking practicums held from elementary through middle school—some people feel nostalgic, while others are experiencing them in real time.

The one thing we can say for sure is that “then and now, cooking class hasn’t fundamentally changed.”

PerfumeEito

Perfume / Eito [Parody Version for a Corporate Drone Working at a Black Company] vs. Boss with PV

Eito - Perfume

In 2020, singer-songwriter Eito took Japan’s pop music scene by storm after going viral on social media.

His song “Perfume,” built around the warm tone of an acoustic guitar and a relaxed tempo, is very easy to sing at karaoke.

Since it’s a slow ballad, making a parody version is simple, too.

The key to parodying this song is to land a solid punchline at the end of the chorus.

What matters is whether you can skillfully convey the backstory and the buildup to that punchline in the first half of the song!

Even if you sing it perfectly, it’s funny when Kansai-ben slips in, right? Since it’s easy to tweak the lyrics, it’s a great pick for parody beginners!

“Flamingo” is a medium-tempo track that combines a funky bassline with lyrics that carry a sense of humor.
