KOMOREBI, an alternative hip-hop group that began full-scale activities in May 2023, released their new song “Giri Giri” on May 17th last month, which has become a viral hit after gaining popularity on social media!
The word “ギリハピダンス” for this song has struck a chord with young people on TikTok, and the app has been flooded with videos capturing “ギリハピダンス” (just barely happy) moments that occur in people’s daily lives. In less than a month since the song’s release, the number of videos using the song has exceeded 55,000!
Not only on TikTok, but on streaming services as well, the song reached number one on Spotify’s viral chart, the TikTok song ranking, and the Bilboard Japan TikTok Weekly Top 20, achieving a triple crown!
Furthermore, “Giri Happy” has crossed the ocean and is starting to become popular overseas, with Korean boy group ENHYPEN posting the “Giri Happy Dance” on TikTok and Instagram, which has now been viewed over 5 million times and has more than 1.35 million likes.
In the future, the term “ギリ幸せ” will likely become more widely used, not just among young people but among a wider range of people.
Why not give this song a listen, as it could be a leading contender for the 2024 Buzzword of the Year Award?
