It’s an upper tune that makes you want to call it downright addictive.

It’s a mixture rock number built around a four-on-the-floor rhythm that makes your body start moving on its own as you listen.

The sound of the words in the lyrics is insanely good—you’ll want to say them out loud.

The philosophical message about what true justice and evil are really gets to you, too.

Let’s clap along and sing! “Strong Wind All Back,” by Vocaloid producer Yukopi, was released in 2023.

The song and its humorous music video became a hot topic and sparked an explosive boom online.

The idea of turning the experience of “your hair getting slicked back on a windy day” directly into music is laugh-out-loud funny.

The bright tone of the recorder is another addictive element.

The highest notes aren’t that high, so especially for women, you might be able to sing it in the original key.
