Funny party songs that liven up year-end and New Year gatherings [2026] (51–60)
LOVE DokkyunCLUB PRINCE
There may still be many people who don’t know it yet, but the host-themed, sure-to-hype “LOVE Dokkyun.” The choreography is surprisingly easy, so it’s recommended even when you don’t have much time to prepare.
A usually quiet person doing a host cosplay with super hyped-up moves is hilarious.
Poi poi poi pop poi poi popi—ayaman JAPAN
Even a slightly raunchy song is fine as long as it gets everyone hyped! For that kind of party, Ayaman JAPAN is highly recommended.
The choreography is simple, though it might be a bit embarrassing for the girls.
But once you let loose, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going! Maybe skip it for parties with important higher-ups present…
Coco☆NatsuMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto
Momoiro Clover Z is a four-member girls’ unit known for their unique musical style.
Their song “Coco☆Natsu” is an upbeat tune that brings a festive vibe and is perfect for livening up year-end and New Year parties.
The lyrics are comical and easy to add call-and-response shouts to, so singing it together will instantly raise the energy! Especially when four women get together, splitting parts and performing this song will get everyone excited—not just fans, but even people who don’t know Momoiro Clover Z.
Barely Showa ~Complete Edition~Kyūso Nekokami
As the title suggests, I recommend Kyuso Nekokami’s “Giri Showa ~Complete Edition~” to anyone who was born right on the cusp at the very end of the Showa era, just before Heisei.
It was released in May 2019, right as the Reiwa era began.
Even though there shouldn’t be a huge difference, the song vividly captures that hazy, complicated feeling between people born just before Heisei (technically Showa) and those firmly born in Heisei.
If you’re squarely in this generation, it’ll probably resonate with you big time! Speaking from my own frustration too—let this song help you vent that fuzzy, in-between feeling.

Because it’s so warm♪kumamushi
A heartfelt song released in 2015 by the comedy duo Kumamushi, who took their era by storm.
The beautiful vocals really sink in! The phrase “Attakai n dakaraa♪” is guaranteed to make everyone want to join in.
Its warmth feels like it could wrap up everything that’s happened so far, even the bad stuff.
Let’s all share a gentle feeling together.
ReiwaGōruden Bonbā
Released just two hours after the new era name “Reiwa” was announced in April 2019, Golden Bomber’s “Reiwa” is a raucous, over-the-top song that’s quintessentially Kinbaku.
It fills you with the spirit to live brightly in this new era! Even if you don’t know the song, its sheer momentum will sweep you up, making it perfect for parties.
No matter how many years pass since the era change, it’s a tune that, when sung together, can blow your everyday worries away.
Packed with playful, gag-filled elements, enjoy this track with laughter and lively energy!
National Sake-Drinking Festival Song of Japanbarakūda
This is a song released in 1979 by a comic band called Barracuda.
The striking lyrics might make you miss it, but it’s actually a parody of “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” the insert song from Disney’s Cinderella.
The song portrays people finding any excuse they can to drink alcohol.
The first verse, which looks back on annual events, is well-known, while the second verse is quite interesting in that it introduces local specialties from various regions while incorporating the local dialects.
It’s a fun song for the vibe alone, making it perfect for parties.
