#Shin Takara-jimaDrinking song

♪ Original Song – Hanamaru – Hanamaru

The call-and-response using “Shin Takara-jima” is characterized by a style where you sing along and enjoy the addictive rhythm.

By repeating chants that lead into the opening phrase of the first verse, you get drawn into the song’s world.

Swaying your body to the groove and building excitement toward the chorus creates moments when the energy spikes.

A key feature of this call is that everyone can have fun together through the music.

Since many people are familiar with the track, it creates an atmosphere where all participants can shout along and enjoy themselves.

Incorporating choreography further boosts the visual fun, helping the entire venue come together in a unified surge of excitement.

DESIRE -Passion-

@liacreate__

This is the ultimate party drinking song lol—Akina Nakamori’s “DESIRE.” The call-and-response chants are hilarious haha.#UmedaBarKita-Shinchi BarDrinking songCall

♫ Original Song – Osaka’s Funny Bar / Umeda / Kitashinchi / 3 Locations – Osaka’s Funny Bar / Umeda / Kitashinchi / 3 Locations

This is a participatory call-and-response that riffs on the world of Akina Nakamori’s song “DESIRE -JOUNETSU-,” gradually breaking the flow with interjections.

The goal isn’t to sing the whole song; the point is for everyone around to throw in calls between the lyrics to complete it.

By having everyone add short, punchy interjections like “yoi yoi,” “aa-dokkoi,” and “stakora sassa—hoisa ssa,” a strong sense of unity emerges.

Since voices are layered in the gaps, there’s no need for big movements; even if it gets a bit messy, it easily turns into laughter, and it’s great for drawing in people who aren’t drinking.

It’s a drinking-party-style call that’s all about riding the momentum.

I can drink water.

Cole: "I can drink it if it's water." #Reiwa Roman
I can drink water.

For those who want to enjoy the unique vibe of drinking-party calls, I recommend the “I can drink it if it’s water” call.

The idea of “drinking alcohol as if it were water” captures the high energy of a nomikai.

In this call, you keep shouting along to the rhythm and sip your drink in a steady tempo.

Since a good sense of rhythm is key, having an experienced leader will make it even more exciting.

You can also spice it up by tweaking the chants or mixing in new phrases for lots of variations.

It’s a call that helps even first-time acquaintances naturally break the ice.

Dragon Night

@tsujibar_minami

Have you heard of it?? 🤔Osaka#MinamiFunnyBar#bar#drinking_songCall#dragonnightSEKAI NO OWARI

♫ Original Song – Self-Proclaimed Heavy-Drinking Manager @ A Certain Bar in Osaka Minami – Self-Proclaimed Heavy-Drinking Manager @ A Certain Bar in Osaka Minami

This is a call-and-response chant set to SEKAI NO OWARI’s song “Dragon Night.” Its hallmark is a development style that intentionally stays restrained in the first half, then pulls everyone in all at once from the second half.

Sing normally through the end of the first chorus, and once the atmosphere has warmed up, switch to repeatedly shouting “Let’s go!” to seize control of the crowd.

During the part where you call out names, adding a pointing gesture helps focus attention and makes it easier to get people excited.

Spreading it sideways with “Let’s go over here too!” encourages whole-group participation.

The chant itself is simple, so even people who aren’t drinking can join just by shouting.

It’s a highly versatile call that builds a sense of unity with a rapid-fire push in the latter half.

You’re really riding a good wave.

[Latest] Drinking Party Chants! Guaranteed to get everyone hyped! Classic chants! [Party People] Part 1
You're really riding a good wave.

The phrase that got famous on TikTok originally existed as a drinking-party call, then it was incorporated into a song and caught on from there.

It’s a compliment you throw at someone, like saying, “You’re on a roll!” The key is to deliver it rhythmically—praise their bold way of drinking and hype them up even more.

Since it’s a simple one-liner, I think the lead-up and how you connect phrases afterward are important for keeping the energy high in the moment.

Put your hands up

Top 5 Latest Drinking Party Chants: Direct from Ayaman JAPAN! #DrinkingChants
Put your hands up

At parties and other lively scenes, you often hear the phrase “Put your hands up.” It carries meanings like “get hyped” and “raise your hands,” and it’s also perfect for toasting with raised glasses.

This call-and-response, which incorporates a word that symbolizes excitement, creates a fun atmosphere.

We replace the lyrics of “If You’re Happy and You Know It” with words that evoke a drinking party, and at the end everyone chants “Put your hands up” as a toast.

Although it’s a parody, the phrase is very short, so the key point is to start singing boldly and energetically to draw everyone in.

The Bear of the Forest

Japanese Children’s Song – Doyo – 3D Mr. Bear of the Forest – 3D Mori no Kuma-san
The Bear of the Forest

How about using the children’s song “The Bear in the Forest,” which almost everyone sang at least once in childhood, as a call-and-response? In the original, you meet a bear in the forest, but in this version you meet alcohol instead and keep on drinking.

As you sing, keep changing the lyrics to suit a drinking party more and more.

Also, increase the number of people joining in with each verse.

In the end, adjust the lyrics so that everyone present can join and turn it into a fun gathering!

Help yourself to a drink.

♪ Original song – Shinyokohama’s Beauty Squad Girls’ Bar “Aiming to be No. 1 in Japan” – Shinyokohama’s Beauty Squad Girls’ Bar “Aiming to be No. 1 in Japan”

This is a call-and-response that stands out for its humor of saying one’s true feelings with a straight face.

Riding a rhythmic handclap, participants trade quips in a snappy tempo, which sparks laughter and deepens bonds.

Its uniquely cool, restrained energy livens up drinking parties and naturally keeps the conversation flowing.

Because the style involves stating honest thoughts deadpan, it also creates a fun chance to share things you usually wouldn’t say.

With a leader to set the clapping rhythm, even first-timers can join easily.

It’s perfect for casual get-togethers, creating both laughs and a sense of unity.

Look that way, hoi!

♪ Original song – Eva Tokyo – Eva Tokyo

A call that incorporates “Acchi Muite Hoi” is great because it uses a game everyone knows and can get excited about.

Add rhythmic clapping along with the chant, and have the loser take a drink to create both thrill and fun.

The key to this call is that it gets people laughing regardless of the game’s outcome.

The clapping rhythm further lifts the mood of the party and makes it easy for everyone to join in.

Another point is that saying “Gochisousama deshita” out loud at the end signals to everyone that it’s over.

This call is easy even for beginners at drinking parties to try, and it can be used in many situations.

Go go, let’s go!

Go Go Let’s Go is a call-and-response you can enjoy with a simple choreography—face forward, sway your body left and right, and extend both hands—paired with a catchy chant.

Thanks to the straightforward moves and easy-to-remember phrases, even first-timers at a drinking party can jump in without hesitation.

Its charm lies in how everyone naturally starts moving, sharing the rhythm, and bringing the whole venue together as one.

You can also add your own flair by tweaking the choreography or slightly changing the beat, giving you plenty of variation.

This light, large-group-friendly call will ramp up the excitement of any drinking party even more.
