Odoru Pompoko RinE-girls
It’s a song that has continued to be covered by many artists as the opening theme for the anime Chibi Maruko-chan.
No matter how many years go by, it never loses its charm, and when you hear it, you just naturally start humming along.
I’m sure there are people who used to listen to it as kids and now listen to it with their own children.
There’s something kind of magical about that, isn’t there? Some of you might be getting together with relatives for year-end or New Year’s parties, and in gatherings where both adults and children come together, I think everyone can enjoy it together!
Choo Choo TrainEXILE
“Choo Choo TRAIN,” one of ZOO’s signature songs that later became a huge hit when covered by EXILE.
It’s known across generations, so everyone can join in with handclaps and have fun together.
A can’t-miss, classic number for year-end and New Year parties.
That spinning move at the beginning is so striking and gets everyone hyped! With EXILE’s large lineup, it’s also perfect to perform with a big group.
If there are lots of energetic people, the whole venue might end up spinning together.
Isn’t it just right for wrapping up or kicking off the year on a bright note?
PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH
An electrifying tune that builds and builds toward the chorus.
It’s a track by RADIO FISH, the performance group led by the comedy duo Oriental Radio, released digitally in 2015.
Its ultra-stylish sound, humor-packed lyrics, and the chorus’s distinctive choreography became a hot topic and sparked a nationwide boom.
This song is best danced to with as large a group as possible—that way you can really capture its impact.
YATTA!happatai
This song was released as a single in 2001, and it’s a CD version of a song that was performed in a sketch on Fuji TV’s variety show “Warau Inu no Bōken.” The lyrics are quite earnest, making it a song that encourages listeners in life.
I think it’s a bright dance number that’s perfect for entertainment at year-end and New Year parties.
I’m sure it would be even more exciting if you imitate the costumes as well—but don’t overdo it.

What a nice hot bath (ba-ban ba-ban ban-ban)Za Dorifutāzu
Nothing livens up the cheerful vibe of year-end and New Year parties quite like “Ii Yu Da na (Babanbabambamban).” The song was originally created as a promotional tune for hot spring resorts, but it was later covered by The Drifters, and their version has since become the most widely known.
It’s an upbeat, feel-good number, so don’t overthink it—just have fun and dance along.
Also, when performing it, try imitating The Drifters’ costumes to enhance the atmosphere.
If your year-end or New Year party is being held at a hot spring, it should be easy to assemble the outfits, so it’s especially recommended.
Love Revolution 21Mōningu Musume.
It’s no exaggeration to say that almost everyone from the Morning Musume generation has danced to this disco-flavored hit by Morning Musume.
While many of their songs feature difficult choreography, this one is relatively easy to imitate and easy to groove to.
If people from the generation that listened to Morning Musume nonstop take the lead in practice, you’ll be able to dance it in no time! Coordinate your outfits in black, and style your hair spiky like the members in the music video to capture the vibe!
Yeah! Super Holiday!Matsuura Aya
Released in 2002, this song is Aya Matsuura’s sixth single.
When you think of Ayaya, many people remember how talents Ai Haruna and Ken Maeda used to do “air Ayaya” impersonations.
At year-end or New Year parties, why not do an impression of those impressionists and really liven things up? Since it’s an “air” performance, both men and women can give it a try!
