Wazaari! – Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi
A march song that makes me think all this is a Japanese turn at the Mickey Mouse Club. I don’t listen to many marches, but that’s because not many people write them. Maybe because they’re not ideal structures for pop songs, being above all marches, stunted to what that demands musically and conjures visually. There’s still a Ushiroyubi Sasaregumi song in here, in the way their voices work together and the way Yuyuu echoes Mamiko in the chorus. And it’s fun, Sousa obliggatos on synthesizers all over the place towards the end.
