Hilarious: Funny songs. Tracks that kill at karaoke and put a smile on your face.

Ginza vibes going full-on! Bling! Bling! Bling!Ken female male Ken

Around Ginza, it's gin! gin! gin! Ken♀♂Ken

It’s a wonderfully surprising track that starts with an enka-style intro and unfolds into sleek, urban pop.

The playful back-and-forth between Ken Shimura’s gags like “Buwā~” and “Aiiin,” and Naoko Ken’s uniquely husky voice is pitch-perfect.

With lyrics set in Tokyo’s bustling nightlife districts like Ginza and Roppongi, and a skit-like storyline, it portrays a romance between a new employee and a female executive.

Released as a single in December 2001, it was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Hen na Ojisan TV.” Despite its strong variety-show flavor, the catchy melodies and arrangements characteristic of Tsunku♂ truly shine.

It’s the kind of song that’s guaranteed to light up the room if you sing it at a drinking party or banquet.

If you sing this at a girls’ get-together, it’s sure to be a hit.

The word “ugly” pops up many times in the lyrics, yet the overall feel is somehow quite cute.

Just make sure men never sing it to women—absolutely don’t do that!

Be sure to have everyone dance the “Y,” “M,” “C,” and “A” at karaoke, too!

Hamada Bamyu Bamyu – Nandeyanen-nen [full ver.]

By the way, Yasutaka Nakata, who produces Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s songs, also produced this track, and once you hear it, it’ll stick in your head—guaranteed to get everyone hyped.
