Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

[Guaranteed Laughs] A Compilation of Parody Songs That Hype Up Karaoke! (21–30)

PerfumeEito

Perfume / Eito [Parody Version for a Corporate Drone Working at a Black Company] vs. Boss with PV

Eito - Perfume

In 2020, singer-songwriter Eito took Japan’s pop music scene by storm after going viral on social media.

His song “Perfume,” built around the warm tone of an acoustic guitar and a relaxed tempo, is very easy to sing at karaoke.

Since it’s a slow ballad, making a parody version is simple, too.

The key to parodying this song is to land a solid punchline at the end of the chorus.

What matters is whether you can skillfully convey the backstory and the buildup to that punchline in the first half of the song!

Chu, diversity.ano

[Parody Song about Debt] Chu, Diversity. [Soshina]

Chu, diversity. ano

Set to ano’s song “Chu, Diversity,” it sings about the sorrow of losing at gambling and sinking deeper into debt.

A key point is that the lyrics incorporate some of Soshina’s real-life experiences, which makes the anguish of debt feel even more pronounced.

It’s also easy on the ears where it echoes the original’s sound—for instance, opening the chorus with “Get on make,” a play on “geromake,” mirrors the phonetics of the source.

While it preserves the original’s light, breezy feel, the lyrics are packed with suffering, creating an enjoyable contrast that makes for a fun parody.

Gen Hoshino – Doraemon (Official Video)

Doraemon Gen Hoshino

It’s a parody song of Doraemon filled with relatable “we’ve all seen that” moments.

The lyrics center on the kinds of kids you’d definitely remember from elementary school, but they’re written with a warm, kind perspective so you can sing it without worrying about hurting anyone’s feelings.

Especially with elementary school boys, they’re at that age where they just tend to do things that make adults go, “Why?” For moms with sons, and even for grown men, there’s probably at least one thing in there that will ring a bell.

It’s the perfect parody to sing at karaoke with both adults and kids—guaranteed to get everyone roaring with laughter.

240 Million EyesHiromi Go

[Parody Song] 240 Million Eyes: “24,000 Yen Rent” – Hiromi Go, sung by Tasukukoma

240 Million Eyes - Hiromi Go

This is a parody of Hiromi Go’s “24 Million Eyes” that thoroughly describes, down to the fine details, the kinds of issues you find in low-rent apartments.

The sample rent used for the cheap apartment is “24,000 yen,” echoing the original song’s title, which clearly conveys both how inexpensive it is and what kind of environment comes with that price.

It doesn’t just say the room is small; it also depicts psychological anxieties in detail—like the presence of talismanic paper charms—adding to the unease.

The fact that it’s presumed to be set in Tokyo further underscores the anxiety about the rent level.

It’s a parody that makes you feel that only those who can tolerate these conditions get to choose a low rent.
