[MV] Release Exercise - Amenbo Plus -

Amenbo Plus is a duo of YouTubers who generously show off their encyclopedic baseball knowledge.

Their skit videos like “Things Typical of Baseball Teams” and “A Baseball Player’s Routine” make you laugh no matter how many times you watch them.

Their song ‘Kaihou Exercise’ is also packed with jokes only baseball fans would get.

For example, the “463 double play” you often hear—those numbers don’t make sense unless you’re into baseball.

Whether it gets through to people or not, that’s exactly the spirit—and the charm—of this song.

But what exactly are we ‘releasing’ in this ‘release exercise,’ anyway?

HARD WORKERSOPHIA

SOPHIA – Hard Worker

The way it’s put together makes it a very unique song.

All the lyrics are in English, but it’s crafted so that, as a mondegreen, they can all sound like Japanese lyrics—and still make sense.

The single also includes a Japanese version of the same song as a coupling track.

As the title suggests, this song is about a “subculture girl,” something that’s not so unusual these days.

It’s sung from a male perspective that pokes a bit of fun at subculture girls, but it’s so relatable you can’t help but chuckle.

It feels like he actually likes subculture girls deep down, making it a fun song for everyone to sing together.

Go bald.Juukage & ksmn

Go bald / Tokage & ksmn Official Cursed Video

Rapper Tokage, who’s known for his unique style, has gained a lot of popularity.

He occasionally shows up in the freestyle scene and is also active as a YouTuber, so many of you may already know him.

Among his works, the track I especially recommend for karaoke is “Hagero” (“Go Bald”).

As you can see, Tokage is completely bald, and this song hilariously tries to force the sorrow of baldness not only onto himself but onto everyone around him.

The last verse is especially funny, so be sure to check it out.

Okazaki Taiiku “FRIENDS” Music Video

This is a song by Okazaki Taiiku, who became instantly famous nationwide with “MUSIC VIDEO,” a track that humorously sings about common “music video clichés.” While it’s a song about what it means to be friends, it still packs in some sharp, musician-targeted irony.

You can’t help but smirk.

“Sand-Passing Grandpa,” with its wildly surreal lyrics, leaves a strong impression.

In fact, this song was actually created based on answers from Itsuji Itao’s ad-lib comedy (oogiri).

As the title suggests, the song’s theme is Sand-Passing Grandpa.

You’re probably thinking, “Who on earth is that?!” (laughs).

He’s apparently a yokai who stands next to the Sand-Scattering Hag and keeps handing out sand (laughs).

Man, that kind of idea is so uniquely Itao.

When it comes to surreal bits, there aren’t many who can top him.

Dejavina (Japanese ver.)Recitals

Recitals – “Dejavina (Japanese ver.)” [Official Music Video]

Recitals is a group consisting of three members from Tokai On Air: Tetsuya, Shibayu, and Toshimitsu.

Their catchy melodies paired with Shibayu’s outlandish lyrics create a perfectly quirky charm.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is “Dejavina (Japanese ver.

).” While it features a stylish, K-pop-inspired melody, Shibayu’s over-the-top lyrics create a striking contrast that makes it truly unique.

Definitely try singing it at a drinking party or get-together.
