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!

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!

TSUGARUYoshi Ikuzo

A rap number by enka singer Yoshikazu Mera (Yoshi Ikuzo) performed in the Tsugaru dialect of his home prefecture, Aomori! Just listening to it, you can hardly tell what he’s saying, and it’s incredibly addictive.

Since it’s tough for people from other regions to imitate, those from Aomori should take the lead and sing it! And if there’s no one from Aomori around, brave challengers are welcome to give it a try!
