From timeless classics to trending hits, we’ve got you covered—there’s sure to be a perfect pick for you!

[Easy] A Collection of Party Dances That Hype Up Year-End and New Year Parties (51–60)

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.

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.

This is a cute-feeling song by Ikimonogakari that straightforwardly expresses the growing feelings of love.

It became noted for its dance in the music video, especially the choreography in the chorus, and at live shows the audience joins in the dancing.

The dance is simple, just repeating the same moves, but by using your whole body, it creates a fun mood.

Because the song conveys the excitement and joy of love, it’s important to keep a bright, blossom-like smile in mind.

It’s the major-label debut single by Momoiro Clover Z and one of their signature songs.

The tempo is very fast and the dance is intense, but if you can nail a full copy, you’ll be the hero of any party! I definitely want you to go all-in with a Momoclo cosplay and really get into character.

Golden Bomber’s signature song that always goes all-out in a comical way to entertain viewers.

They even performed this same “Memeshikute” four years in a row on the Kohaku Uta Gassen, so there can’t be many people who don’t know it.

The simple choreography—jumping while alternately waving your hands during the chorus—is guaranteed fun for everyone together! Above all, it’s a top-tier killer tune that doubles the fun when you dance.

You can also enjoy it in different ways, like cosplaying or imitating their style.

Let’s get everyone involved and turn it into the best year-end or New Year’s party!

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!

Arashi’s 1999 debut single “A・RA・SHI,” famous for its much-discussed see-through outfits, is a classic.

Given Arashi’s universally beloved vibe and the song’s feel, it’s a must-pick for something everyone can enjoy.

Sakurap is insanely cool, too! The choreography is relatively easy among Arashi’s songs, so it’s a good choice even when you don’t have much prep time for year-end or New Year parties.

Just listening to it lifts your spirits—you can bet people will sing along, and even the audience might start dancing.

It’s sure to be a huge crowd-pleaser!
