Performing his hit single: Swim on! Taiyuki-kun!

The song is about a taiyaki snack who comes alive and rebels against the cook, going to sea and eventually ending up being eaten by an old man.

The song was a metaphor for traveling businessmen during the 70s.

That's one of the songs I remember Shimon for! (My personal favorite song of his is the ED theme for Godzilla Vs. Megalon.)

There's also "Hone Hone Rokku" ("Bone Bone Rock") and "Hataraki Kuruma" ("Working Car"). And he also sang a Japanese tie-in song for Star Wars! Yes, I kid you not! They rearranged John Williams' theme into a disco song!

MASATO SHIMON RULES!!!
