Funny party songs that hype up year-end and New Year parties [2026] (71–80)
GG STAND UP!! feat. Takahiro MatsumotoKinashi Noritake
This is the first song released by Noritake Kinashi of Tunnels as a solo artist.
One of its charms is the powerful guitar work by Takahiro Matsumoto, the guitarist of B’z.
As the term “Kinashi Funk” suggests, it carries elements of disco-funk and conveys a laid-back sense of fun.
The world depicted in the lyrics is amusing in a way that reflects Kinashi’s side as a comedian, expressing the aches and ailments that come with age and the way he tries to gloss them over while enjoying his days.
Panda piranhaMatsudaira Ken
It calls to mind the cheerful, energetic performance he showed in “Matsuken Samba.” Released in June 2023, this work features lyrics by Shohei Osada of Chocolate Planet.
The imaginary creature “Panda Piranha” takes center stage as the protagonist, unfolding a mysterious, otherworldly setting.
Its ethnic, lively rhythm and Ken Matsudaira’s relaxed, soaring vocals leave a strong impression.
If you’re looking for a song everyone can dance to at year-end or New Year’s parties, why not choose this one?
Matsuken Samba IIMatsudaira Ken
Because it’s become such a classic song, if you really nail it, laughter is guaranteed! The key is how well you polish the performers other than the Matsuken role.
Amp up the excitement even more by, for example, having a horse character appear wearing a white horse mask and a full-body white tights outfit!
I’m starting the new NISA.Tarumi Kenji
A song packed with humor that sings about how to start the new NISA—guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Released by Kenji Darvish of Golden Bomber in September 2024, it stands out for its surprisingly mature tone.
The music video drew attention for featuring Darvish without his signature white makeup and for special appearances by members of Wagakki Band.
It sets universal worries—like anxiety about the future and planning for retirement, concerns shared by all working people—to a dramatic sound.
It’s funny, yet it makes you think, “Maybe I really should get my act together.” Definitely consider using it at year-end or New Year parties!
Adorable Hideyoshi unifies the realmChōnōryoku Senshi Dorian
This song expresses the feeling of “tottoi” (overwhelming adoration/reverence) with playful lyrics.
It’s included on Psychic Warrior Durian’s second mini-album, “Hanpa-nei Meiban,” released in April 2020.
Its worldbuilding is striking, conveying overflowing ‘oshi’ (idol/stan) feelings through historical motifs like Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the little cuckoo.
The comical, pop-tinged rock sound is another highlight.
It might be the perfect pick if you’re looking for a song everyone can sing together as entertainment at year-end or New Year parties.
New YearRepezen Chikyuu
Speaking of novelty songs, doesn’t a track by Repezen Chikyuu really get the crowd going? This one is literally titled “New Year’s,” making it a perfect pick to sing at year-end and New Year gatherings.
It starts off with a warm, easygoing vibe, cutely singing about wanting New Year’s money, but it actually dives into all sorts of New Year’s gift antics—almost more like “squeezing money out of grandparents and relatives.” It’s a New Year song that packs in everything from cute vocals to a sudden plunge into death-growl-like threats, plus straight-up comedy bits.
Try singing it at a get-together where everyone gets the joke!
Age Age Every KnightDJ OZMA
This is a signature track by DJ OZMA, who has a vibe similar to Shō Ayanokōji, the vocalist of Kishidan.
It’s a cover of Korean hip-hop group DJ DOC’s “Run To You,” with Japanese lyrics added—and notably, it incorporates mondegreens from the original as part of the lyrics.
The sound feels laid-back yet strongly beat-driven, creating a mood that stirs joy from deep inside.
The lyrics evoke a lively party atmosphere, conjuring images of people getting carried away on a dark dance floor.
It’s a song with a captivating, mysterious sense of drift—a blend of rowdiness and intrigue.
