  • Story

    Like the other Monkeys, these ones like to tap dance. One of them is a DJ who plays at night and on the weekends, relieving the stresses of young people with his energetic selections. He also hosts a radio show as DJ SALU (DJ SALU?, DJ SALU). He conducted an interview with the RAPMEN, talking about their latest song. During the interview, the RAPMEN talked about how their snacks were stolen by the Rap Women, while DJ SALU replied in the style of their songs. At the end, he quoted the red rapper, knowing the line because he was playing Rhythm Tengoku, and cut to a commercial for the game. He seems to have a lot of life experience, as he was brash as a teenager[1].

    Yellow versions of this monkey appear in Live as part of the Drum Samurai's Band, playing the trumpets and saxophone. The Monkey in Tambourine in Remix 2 is replaced with this one. The purple Small Monkeys in Monkey Watch bear a resemblance to this kind of monkey.

    Trivia

    • In Japanese, this monkey's name is always romanized. In all other languages, the name is the exact same as the other Monkeys. In Korean, it is simply the English word instead.
    • In Rhythm Tengoku, the monkeys are taller than their artwork suggests, while in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix, they are the same size.
