funkytownosakaYay, day 3! A song about a place ☆
Okay, as we all know, Kanjani8 cannot shut up about Osaka 🤣 And while I love the classics, I wanted to pick something slightly more niche because this way we all get to check out new-to-us music, right?
My original choice was F.T.O, from their first full-length album. It stands for Funky Town Osaka aka the name of this DW! F.T.O is a banger, it always puts me in a good mood! Idk why, it's not a funny song like Sukiyanen, Osaka or their million other nonsense A-sides. It's just... a jam that makes me feel good. A feel good jam for me, personally? 😂 Unfortunately, F.T.O didn't have an MV and it's old enough that I couldn't find any fun perfs of it. Don't worry, fam, I gotchu 🐙 Worth the dl and listen, I promise!
Maybe it's been on my mind more than usual lately because of the 90s Eurobeat parody that recently went viral lolol
But while I was looking for F.T.O, I stumbled on this debut era perf of Cool Magic City and hey, that works too!
Cool Magic City is the B-side on their debut single, Naniwa Iroha Bushi (you'll never convince me Ohkura didn't literally name his children after himself). Cool Magic City is ALSO a song I love for no reason other than that it makes me smile. And look, they still had their taller-than-them baby too :')
This is my first time watching this perf and they're awfully cute. Finally debuted after everything! All their fans here to cheer for them! Their smiles are just so full of hope and happiness and it makes me emo ;_; I also love that they're surrounded by Kanjuu because of course. (No, I didn't look for Jo and you can't prove that I did). Just something about how bright-eyed and excited they all look ;_; All the media from that time, the interviews, the mangas, they always talk about how excited they were for the future despite the hand they were dealt (enka pop!? about Osaka?!).
It's a little bittersweet. But they all do eventually get their happy endings, just not the way they planned it. But what matters is they made it, one way or another <8
On a less feelings note, the lyrics in this perf are like, "don't worry, don't worry, if you ride a VESPA~" and I'm LAUGHING because no, that isn't in the original. What is this random VESPA collab LOL
