Karaoke Songs That Hype Up a Wedding After-Party (31–40)

God of RomanceHirose Kōmi

Her million-selling single released in 1993.

She has many smash-hit singles and is sometimes called the Queen of the Slopes, but this song in particular captures the fluttery excitement of being in love, and it’s sure to lift everyone’s spirits.

If you’re at a second party with coworkers in their 30s to 50s—the boss crowd—you can’t go wrong picking this song! The moment the intro hits, everyone’s energy will shoot up with an “Ah!” for sure.

When the chorus comes, let’s all thrust our right fists forward and “go in swinging.” Despite being a hype song, it’s easy to sing, and the not-too-fast tempo is another reason I recommend it.

Released in 1999 as her ninth single, this is one of her signature songs.

As a classic that defined its era, it’s so famous that you could say there’s hardly anyone who hasn’t heard it.

The high notes make it tough to sing at karaoke, but it’s guaranteed to liven up any atmosphere as background music, so it’s definitely a track worth remembering.

A signature classic by The High-Lows.

Some say this song was written about Hitoshi Matsumoto, and even people who aren’t into rock have probably heard it at least once.

I’ve even seen it performed at a wedding.

It’s simply a great song and fun to sing, so I highly recommend it for after-parties and the like.

It’s not an outright upbeat song, but if you want to feel that live-show sense of unity, this is the one.

When the chorus hits, everyone lift your heads and raise your hands high.

You’ll naturally feel more positive.

With lyrics anyone can relate to, it’s sure to get everyone pumped up.

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.

A track released as ZOO’s fourth single in 1991.

More recently, it drew attention when EXILE covered it in 2004 and 2014.

The classic move where everyone lines up in a straight line and spins around in the intro is iconic.

It’s a song that lets all participants come together as one.
