Parody of 'Life Is Full of Ups and Downs': 'Life in Tatters'Chiyoko Shimakura
Here is an idea for a parody of Chiyoko Shimakura’s famous song “Jinsei Iroiro” (Life Has Many Varieties), titled “Jinsei Boroboro” (Life in Tatters).
“Jinsei Iroiro” sings of the turmoil of life—women’s struggles and tears, and rising beyond them toward hope.
In contrast, “Jinsei Boroboro” portrays a senior who still has things he wants to try, values effort, lives humbly, and understands he must appreciate his wife.
It expresses the anxieties awaiting in old age and a man’s resolve to face the life ahead.
Surely many of you can relate not only to the worries, but also to the desire to see hope in one’s later years.
I want to brag.SUPER BEAVER
This warm mid-tempo ballad carries the wish to become someone a loved one can be proud of, sincerely chronicling effort, setbacks, and a resolve to embrace change.
Written and composed by guitarist Ryota Yanagisawa, its heartfelt melody and powerful message resonate deeply.
Released in October 2020 as the double A-side single “Toppa-kou / Jiman ni Naritai,” it was unveiled as the second single following the band’s return to a major label.
The song was also selected as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Haikyu!! TO THE TOP, drawing significant attention from anime fans.
It’s a track that gently supports those who care for someone and those striving toward their goals.

It’s a piece distinguished by a soothing soundscape that seems to nestle alongside the city’s nightscape.
The track, by the Vocaloid producer Arukuhito, was released in November 2020.
It beautifully blends city pop and electronica into a floating, airy sound design.
Hatsune Miku’s whispery vocals gently paint an urban scene set against a highway backdrop.

Life is a mix of nutsVaundy
This song wraps the frustrations of everyday life, the complexities of existence, and the world’s diversity in a poppy, lighthearted sound and captures them fully.
It’s a work by singer-songwriter Vaundy, released digitally in March 2025.
Within the brisk arrangement unfolds a richly layered world that lets each listener project their own emotions.
And the melodic lines get more and more addictive the more you listen.
I think it’s perfect for refreshing your mood.
Time TravelerMariya Takeuchi
Mariya Takeuchi has produced many classic songs, and she has also released tracks in English.
Among them, the one I particularly recommend is “Jikuu no Tabibito.” Because it’s in English, pronunciation can be a hurdle, but if you can get past that, you’ll find this song very easy to sing.
It’s a ballad with a calm, Carpenteresque melody, without sudden jumps in pitch and with a relatively narrow vocal range.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-sing English song, be sure to check it out.
I got a copyright claim on a song I made myself.tegi
This piece vividly portrays the struggles of a Vocaloid producer.
It’s a track by Tegi, released in November 2024.
As the title suggests, it turns an unfortunate incident into a song: despite being the creator, they received a copyright claim from YouTube’s official system.
If you’re a creator yourself, you’ve probably heard rumors of this kind of trouble.
I can’t help but grin at the determination to turn the whole ordeal into a work of art—and at the solid, catchy, rock-style sound.
