Believe it or not, there’s a music video about kanji with the 魚 radical on the left side (魚偏) (うおへん).
It’s a delightful song and video produced by Up Front Agency (home of Hello Project). I’m confused as to why they would make such a video but I think the song is kinda catchy so check it out if you have a few spare minutes.

Why not?
The best reason for doing so many things.
We do what we must because we can
Lmao how fun
Except when we do what we can because we must.
Or when we run out of cake.
But the science gets done, and you make a neat gun, for the people who are still alive.
It reminded me of an old Sesame Street video about silent e on the end of words - hat vs hate, bite vs bit. Could be a really handy song to memorise those 32 kanji!
This is what I could find in Jisho with Daijirin as backup.
