Kanpei Hazama

Geinin song is Japanese popular music made and performed by geinin—comedy entertainers such as manzai duos, conte (skit) troupes, and variety-show regulars. It mixes singable J‑pop hooks with overt humor: punch‑line lyrics, catchphrases, spoken skits, parodies, and instantly recognizable dance moves tailored for TV and social media. Musically it leans on bright, karaoke‑friendly melodies, simple diatonic harmony, uptempo grooves, and sound‑effect gags; culturally it is intertwined with variety programs, commercial tie‑ins, and the talent agency ecosystem that promotes comedians as multitalented entertainers.
