Anime songs that hype up the after-party: recommended bangers and popular tracks

GHOST SWEEPERHarada Chie

[Official] Anime “GS Mikami” Opening Video: Chie Harada “GHOST SWEEPER” / Ghost Sweeper Mikami

This is the opening theme song of GS (Ghost Sweeper) Mikami.

It’s a jazzy tune, so if you sing it coolly, it’ll hype up the after-party too! Imitate a Jintsūkon with an umbrella and get into character as Reiko Mikami! You can mimic Okinu-chan by “flying.”

Crimson Bow and ArrowLinked Horizon

Linked Horizon / Guren no Yumiya with lyrics

This is the opening theme song from Season 1 of Attack on Titan.

You can get hyped together right from the intro.

One thing to watch out for: the lyrics don’t appear when you sing it at karaoke, so I recommend memorizing them well in advance or checking the lyrics on your phone while you sing!

Well then,SURFACE

SURFACE – Now then

This is the opening theme song of Mamotte Shugogetten!.

It has recently become a hot topic thanks to the table tennis skit by the comedy duo Korokichi.

Since SURFACE themselves read the manga before writing the lyrics, it matches the work very well.

Let’s sing it coolly!

Naughty SunORANGE RANGE

ORANGE RANGE “Ikenai Taiyō” Music Video

A famous song by ORANGE RANGE that needs no introduction.

It’s a track that’s sure to get the crowd going no matter where you play it, so it’s a near-certain pick for an after-party.

It’s even more fun if you imitate the roles of the three vocalists.

On a hot summer day, you’ll find yourself wanting to sing it without thinking.

Even now, this is one of those songs you’ll almost always hear when you go to the beach.

When it’s summer, it’s got to be Shonan no Kaze! And when you say Shonan no Kaze, it’s gotta be “Suirenka”! It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped at the after-party, too.

If you’re doing karaoke as part of the entertainment, make sure to include this song—the energy in the room will hit the max.

AKINO from bless4 “Miiro (Sea Color)” Music Video

It’s the opening theme of the TV anime “Kantai Collection -KanColle-.” The brisk, fast-paced composition makes it perfect for keeping the energy up at an after-party.

Also, if you watch the promo video, you’ll see the artist’s movements are very distinctive and easy to imitate, so let’s all copy them together.

That’s the best way to enjoy this song.

On the edge (chop)B’z

B'z / Giri Giri Chop

This song was used as an opening theme for the long-running anime Detective Conan.

It’s a hard-driving, quintessential B’z-style hard rock number with a fast tempo and infectious groove that you can’t help but get into.

Inaba’s soaring high-tone vocals are absolutely explosive in this track.
