Funny party songs that liven up year-end and New Year gatherings [2026] (51–60)
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?
DansharismUchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
This is a song by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai, a band that champions everyday-life loud rock.
It was released digitally on December 20, 2024, with the music video dropping the same day.
Perfect for the year-end cleaning season, the track centers on the theme of decluttering.
The lyrics humorously and relatably capture the struggle of trying to sort out unwanted items but getting stuck because of memories and lingering attachments.
Crank up this explosive tune and get yourself hyped!
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.
