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.

Wellerman (Sea Shanty)Nathan Evans

Some people find it hard to come up with parody lyrics for Japanese songs.

That might be because they’re too bound by the original lyrics’ imagery.

In that case, I recommend making parodies of Western songs.

If the song has gone viral on social media, you’re likely familiar with it, which makes it easier to sing.

One especially parody-friendly song is Nathan Evans’s “Wellerman.” The tempo is slow, so it’s okay even if you change the lyrics a bit forcefully.

[Parody Song] “Really, Limit” Sung by Someone Who Wants to Escape Reality / Parody of T.M.Revolution’s “HOT LIMIT”

HotlimitT.M.Revolution

T.

M.

Revolution’s “HOT LIMIT” is a song released in 1998.

Not only the music but also Takanori Nishikawa’s outfit left a strong impression, didn’t it? This parody song, “Honto, Limit” (“Honestly, Limit”), changes the original lyrics.

It’s about the shock experienced at a class reunion.

The self-deprecating humor will make you chuckle.

Still, there are surely people who can relate.

Many working adults have probably felt the same way.

It’s a parody I especially recommend to those whose views on marriage resonate with the song.

Until the world ends...WANDS

[Parody Song] Until the World Ends, Only Corporate Drones Will Understand... / WANDS

Until the World Ends... WANDS

This is a parody song with lyrics imbued with sorrow that evoke self-deprecating laughter.

Even if your situation is a bit tough, sometimes laughing it off can give you energy, right? And simply sharing a sense of “we’re all like this” can make you feel better too.

Karaoke is a perfect place for that kind of mutual encouragement.

The key with this song is to sing it earnestly to build a sense of shared empathy.

Laugh together and belt it out—“Yep, that’s exactly how companies are!”—and turn it into positive energy to say, “Let’s keep doing our best starting tomorrow!”

Tried singing Kobukuro’s “Tsubomi” using baseball player names

Tsubomi Kobukuro

It’s a hit ballad by the musical duo Kobukuro.

The song was written specifically as the theme for the drama “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad,” and was released in 2007 as their 14th single.

Each word seems to gently seep into the depths of your heart, which is exactly why it lends itself well to parody lyrics.

In the featured video, the lyrics are replaced with the names of baseball players.

Thanks to how good the song is, it somehow ends up sounding moving.

[Kiryuuin] “Please refrain” cover

Self-restraint and Golden Bomber

This is a parody of Golden Bomber’s “Memeshikute” released by Ryoji Takarabe, a music YouTuber who covers famous songs, during the 2020 stay-at-home period.

Thanks to the buzz it generated on Twitter and other platforms, a version covered by Golden Bomber’s Sho Kiryuin himself was released.

If you can cleverly rephrase the repeatedly used words into funny expressions, it’s sure to be a hit! Matching the momentum to the sound is important too!
