Shingo Mama no Oha Rock

Shingo Katori is the youngest member of SMAP, a very popular Japanese idol group. Katori is probably best known for cross-dressing as the character “Shingo Mama” (慎吾ママ) on the variety show Sata Suma.

He released a top-selling CD single “Shingo Mama no Oha Rock” (慎吾ママのおはロック), a karaoke favourite of mine. The video is below.

This is a children’s song and the chorus loosely translates as “In the morning I suck mayonnaise”

Shingo Mama’s trademark phrase is “Ohhā!” (おっはー), short for “Ohayō!” (おはよう “Good morning!”).
