Funny party songs that hype up year-end and New Year parties [2026] (71–80)
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!
A Song Dedicated to LassenNAGANO
Anyway, when you’re really short on time, this is the last resort: “A Song for Lassen.” Worried it’ll seem too half-hearted on its own? In that case, try tweaking the lyrics into inside jokes and perform a few versions! It’s especially fun and dynamic when a big guy does it—highly recommended!
Why the heck, geez!?Hamada Bamyubamyu
The ridiculously upbeat track “Nandeyanen-nen,” which you can just sing, dance, and enjoy without thinking, is the debut single of the artist Hamada Bamyu Bamyu.
Hamada Bamyu Bamyu is a character born from the TV show “Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!” as part of the “Hamada Idol Project.” The song performed by this character is “Nandeyanen-nen.” As you can tell from the character’s name and the musical style, the sound producer is Yasutaka Nakata, who also produces Kyary Pamyu Pamyu herself.
The fashion and music video, which imitate her visual style, are must-sees.
With its addictive lyrics and goofy dance, why not try singing it at your year-end or New Year’s party?
Nihon no Mikata – I Came Because It’s NevadaYajima Biyōshitsu
Yajima Biyoshitsu is a unit formed by three people: Sho Ayanokoji of Kishidan, also known as DJ OZMA, and Takaaki Ishibashi and Noritake Kinashi of Tunnels.
They were created in 2008 as part of a segment on the TV variety show “Tunnels no Minasan no Okage Deshita,” and they really entertained us, didn’t they? Their motif is the American female trio The Supremes, so if you keep that in mind and learn the choreography in flashy party-goods-style outfits, you’re sure to be a hit.
Then just go all out hyping things up with a Norisan-style way of singing and big, flashy reactions!
