Anime Song Column 4: DJ Kazu Discusses “Hare Hare Yukai”

This is a historic song that has reached not only anime lovers, but ordinary people as well. This is because the name Haruhi is so amazingly widespread that even my mother knows it! I think as an anime made from a light novel, it has top-class popularity. There are still a lot of people who cosplay as Haruhi and other characters, and I see a lot of Haruhi cosplay even overseas; it is super popular!

At the end of each episode, the characters dance to the song. This has spread in various directions, and the dance, karaoke, and cover videos on Nico Nico Douga increased due to the appearance of this song. I think this song has a power that makes you want to do something, not just purely enjoy it by listening to it. You can often hear people singing it at club events, and its state of being a sure success hasn’t changed either, even when putting it on as a DJ. It has a mood that the moment the intro begins, it changes the atmosphere in a second. It has a beat that plunges straight into your ears, an easy-to-sing melody, and slightly wondrous and pleasant lyrics. I’m sure that every anison DJ has this song. I’ve listened to it I don’t know how many hundreds of times on TV, in front of shops, and at events or karaoke, but I still can’t get enough of it!
