Funny party songs that hype up year-end and New Year parties [2026] (71–80)
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!
Perfect HumanRADIO FISH
The signature song of a dance-vocal unit formed around the two members of Oriental Radio.
Released in 2015, it’s their standout track, featuring an upbeat EDM vibe and cool lyrics with a touch of humor.
And of course, the most important element of the performance is the dance! A perfectly synchronized routine by all six members is guaranteed to get the crowd going.
If you can also recreate Shingo Fujimori’s rap part, it’ll be flawless!

Japanese rice is the best in the world.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
If there are lots of people who like rock bands, I highly recommend the band Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai! Their songs are often about food or the kind of everyday situations that make everyone go, “So true!” Among them, this track is an ode to rice—super catchy and guaranteed to hype you up.
The shocking lyrics that repeatedly shout out the names of various rice bowls are sure to get laughs.
If you’re doing a band performance as a side act, this is the song to play; and of course, it’ll also fire up the crowd if you just sing it at karaoke!
ff (fortissimo)haundodoggu
This song is a signature track by Hound Dog, the rock band fronted by Yasuhira Otomo.
Although it was released in 1985, it’s still a classic you hear all the time! What’s more, the person who helped introduce the song to a younger generation was the impressionist Ringo-chan.
She’s known for her cutesy persona, but clips of her singing this song with a powerful voice that rivals Otomo’s became a hot topic.
If there are any women out there who can belt with a rich, deep tone like Ringo-chan, definitely try singing this song and wow everyone with the contrast!
Circle of LifeRaion Kingu
Not so good at singing? If that’s the kind of crowd you’ve got, The Lion King is the perfect challenge! Put on a homemade musical with DIY Lion King decorations set to the epic soundtrack.
And if someone comes out at the end as “Onishi Lion,” you’ll have the perfect punchline.
dreamnakanekana
This is a song released through a collaboration with ACOM.
Created by Kanakana Nakane, it came out in 2023.
As you listen, you think, “This is a positive song that portrays someone working hard toward their dream,” but then the chorus suddenly shifts to a story about borrowing from ACOM to develop an app that divides a cake into five equal parts.
The contrast with the warm tone and catchy melody is so striking that it makes you laugh.
It’s a fun track that seems perfect as entertainment for year-end or New Year parties.
