On a recent Friday episode of NHK's "Asaichi"（あさイチ）, the morning information variety show got a whole lot livelier with longtime band Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra getting on the floor for some very exciting music. Not surprisingly, the faxes and email were flowing in like water at the spectacle of party time just after 9 am in the morning.
I forgot who was the subject of the "Premium Talk" segment that usually comes on those Fridays but another actor did show up to help TSPO. And he was definitely essential since he helped write and perform the song. I may have seen Tsuyoshi Muro（ムロツヨシ）in a few dramas but at this point, his performance headlining "Medetashi Song" (Congratulatory Song) will be my highlight of him.
With TSPO baritone sax player Atsushi Yanaka（谷中敦）and Muro behind lyrics, and TSPO trumpeter NARGO taking care of the melody, "Medetashi Song" is a splash-bang ska tune with some surf rock thrown in there. It's all well and good as a tune about getting through the bad stuff and celebrating the good stuff. With these guys, it's all too easy to doff off the blues and hit the dance floor. The song was placed onto the band's 4th mini-album "S.O.S. ［Share One Sorrow]" from November 2021; the album peaked at No. 13.
