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.
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
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!
100% CourageNEW!
This is a hype-building call that creates a sense of security by leveraging a familiar melody.
The key is to keep singing as the base while occasionally loosening the words or extending the endings to set the mood.
In the chorus, switching to calling out names draws attention and focuses everyone’s eyes at once.
It naturally creates an atmosphere of “we’ve just gotta drink,” and, including the interlude call, it works as a complete performance from start to finish.
Since many people know the original song, the barrier to joining in is low, making it easy to involve both those who drink and those who don’t.
Because the vibe is a bit intense, it’s most effective toward the end or in moments when the energy is rising.
TRAIN TRAINNEW!
At first you might think it’s just a normal song, but the moment the chorus hits, the “Ikki!” chugging call kicks in—it’s a drinking song.
The contrast with the moving melody is striking, which is exactly why it can catch people off guard and hype up the crowd.
Also, this drinking song doesn’t stop at one drink; it encourages a second round.
Just when you finish and relax, you’ll immediately hear “Second one!” so be prepared.
Everyone except the singer and the drinker should add call-and-response shouts to liven up the scene.
It’s a two-for-one track that you can enjoy as music and also use as a drinking-party call.
LOVE YOU ONLYNEW!
This is a playful, “broken-style” call that’s built on a classic love song, but switches up words in between to instantly give it a drinking-party vibe.
Because it follows the natural flow of a well-known song, lots of people recognize it and it’s easy for everyone to join in.
Swapping out phrases partway through creates contrast and momentum, flipping the mood from earnest singing to laugh-out-loud fun.
When the lyrics call for a name, adding gestures like pointing or stepping forward boosts the hype even more.
Energy is key—being slightly off the beat or tune isn’t a problem.
Even those who aren’t drinking can participate by shouting along, making it a great call to use when you want to push the excitement up another notch toward the end.
