Genghis Khan (also refers to a Japanese grilled mutton dish called 'Jingisukan')Berryz Kobo
Many elementary school kids who don’t know the original might even think Berryz Kobo’s “Dschinghis Khan” is the original.
It’s such an upbeat song that it seems perfect as BGM for sports days or school presentations.
The original is the debut track by the German music group Dschinghis Khan.
The “Genghis Khan” in the song’s motif isn’t the famous Hokkaido grilled mutton dish, but the Mongolian hero, Genghis Khan.
The song’s infectious energy is its charm—it blasts past even that kind of confusion.

Tune in to the passionate yet somehow emotional sound as well.

CHEHON, who continues to work energetically, including collaborations with overseas rappers, brings us a fiery motivational song titled “GIANT KILLING.” The term “giant killing” means a major upset, and by repeating that phrase, the song encourages people who are taking on high hurdles.
Since the music video was filmed on a soccer field, it’s likely the lyrics were written with the World Cup in mind.
That said, it should resonate with anyone striving hard in any field.
