The unit Yajima Beauty Salon was formed by Tunnels and DJ OZMA.

They debuted in Japan as a family from Nevada, USA, who runs a hair salon.

Their memorable first release became a massive hit, turning them into nationwide favorites.

The appeal lies in the parody elements that incorporate aspects of various songs.

With their look—costumes, flashy makeup, and hairstyles—the song leaves a strong impact.

They set history to music using easy-to-understand words and funny gags, topped off with sharp choreography.

Even people who aren’t interested in or are bad at history can memorize it with this song, right? It’s entertaining enough to captivate those who already know the material, too.

“Unko” (Poop) is a humor-filled piece created by Naotaro Moriyama, known for signature songs like “Sakura” and “Natsu no Owari.” The title packs a huge punch that you’d never expect from Moriyama’s image—an instant attention-grabber.

But once you sing it, it turns out to be a classical, gently delivered ballad, which makes it all the more amusing.

On top of that, the lyrics are super simple and the song is short, so it doesn’t overstay its welcome—guaranteed laughs.

It’s perfect for completely changing the mood or as a little party skit (lol).

The collaboration song Umarvelous by the skilled band MONKEY MAJIK and the comedy duo Sandwich Man is a delicious and fun track released in 2018.

It’s a lively number packed with gags, and with Sandwich Man’s huge popularity and a production style that nods to disco songs from the ’70s and ’80s, it’s a tune that can get a wide range of generations excited.

Date’s “zero-calorie theory” is in there too (lol).

Brief & Trunks have gained popularity for their wide musical range, from serious songs to comedic ones.

The serious songs are handled by guitarist-vocalist Takayuki Ito, while the comedic songs are handled by vocalist Makoto Hosone.

Among their comedic tracks, one of the most famous is “Aonori” (Green Laver).

The lyrics depict the considerate feelings of a man toward a woman who, though beautiful, has flecks of aonori on her front teeth.

It’s a surreal piece, so singing it at karaoke is sure to get some laughs!

Wednesday Campanella 'Momotaro'

As the title suggests, this song playfully tweaks the well-known story of Momotaro, following a slacker Momotaro who ends up having to go to Onigashima.

It’s included on Wednesday Campanella’s 2014 mini-album “Take Me to Onigashima.” The uniquely styled animated music video ends with the words “To be continued,” but what happens after that remains unknown.

It makes you wonder what became of Momotaro.

“Yacchatta” (We Goofed), which featured swapped-out footage and illustrations on the internet, became a brief fad.

It’s a funny song that highlights everyday “whoops, I messed up” moments.

It didn’t make it into karaoke for quite a while, but in recent years it quietly found its way onto karaoke playlists.
