Funny crowd-pleaser songs for year-end and New Year parties [2026] (31–40)
Kumamoto Surprise!Kumamon
Especially recommended for those living in Kyushu! This is the song that often plays when Kumamon, the now nationwide beloved yuru-chara, makes an appearance.
If you do a full-body black Kumamon cosplay, laughter is guaranteed! The choreography is simple, so the key is how sharply and energetically you dance.
Being human is nicemanga nihon mukashibanashi
A nationally beloved song that just about anyone could sing all the way through.
The more innocently you dance along like in the video, the more laughs you’ll get.
You could even make a movie that recreates the footage! Since it’s an anime ending theme, it also works well as an exit song after other party acts.
Ojapamendauntaun
It’s a lively song performed by Downtown and the other regular members of the show “Downtown no Gotsu Ee Kanji.” It’s a cover of “Ojebame Iyagi” by the Korean idol group Fire Truck.
Although it sounds like Korean, the lyrics were transcribed into katakana by Yuichi Kimura, a writer for the show, based on how he heard them, which makes it amusing in part because the meaning doesn’t always come through.
Now that K-pop is popular and people have more opportunities to hear Korean, the oddness of the lyrics might be even more fun to appreciate.
Before anything else, from atop the roadIsseifubi Sepia
“Zenryaku, Michi no Ue yori” by Ikkyū Fūbi Sepia, who began activities in 1984, is a novelty song with an addictive festival-style rhythm.
Ikkisefūbi Sepia is a unit that branched off from the street performance troupe Gekidan Ikkisefūbi.
Their songs emphasize performance over singing, making them perfect for livening up year-end and New Year parties! Especially at events with lots of men, if you go shirtless from the waist up and sing this song while dancing like they do, it’s sure to put a smile on the audience’s faces.
If you’ve been lacking exercise, why not dance while singing this song to relieve some stress?
Love Is an Open Door (Frozen)Kanda Sayaka, Tsuda Eiyu
Instead of the familiar “Let It Go,” the duet “Love Is an Open Door” is perfect for a male-female performance! It mixes in spoken lines, and if you add gestures, it feels just like a musical and will make people chuckle.
The final punchline with the proposal line is a great touch, too.

With its catchy melody and unique lyrics, it gives listeners a boost of positive energy.
Add some dance to the performance and it’s sure to hype up any venue! It’s recommended not only for people who love strength training, but also for anyone interested in health.
Adult Blueatarashii gakkou no rīdāzu
Otona Blue, which has been blowing up since 2023, was actually a song released by ATARASHII GAKKO! in 2020.
It started trending on TikTok around the end of 2022 after the head-shaking dance in the chorus drew attention.
Many of you have probably seen this dance on TikTok or YouTube.
Including the other choreography, the quirky moves throughout the whole song really stand out, so performing it on a school festival stage is sure to hype up the crowd! Just note that the dance is surprisingly challenging, so take your time practicing.
