[2026] Get Everyone Hyped! Fun and Funny Songs That Kill at Drinking Parties (21–30)
My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS
Rock really brings the energy, whether it’s live or at karaoke! And if it’s a signature song by a well-known rock band, even more so.
From hardcore RADWIMPS fans to people who just know them a little, “Zenzenzense,” loved by many as the theme song of the film Your Name, is a perfect example.
When it comes to this track, the explosive power of the chorus is unbeatable.
The moment that catchy phrase hits, everyone wants to belt it out together—it’s the kind of number that can turn a karaoke room into a full-on rock festival!
Gather round! Party people!Yabai T-shatsu Yasan
Yabai T-Shirts Yasan’s “Gather Up! Party People” is a track included on their first album, “We love Tank-top,” released in 2016.
It’s packed with call-and-response shouts that make it easy to get everyone pumped up! The lyrics are all about hyping the party scene, so it’s perfect for drinking parties and the like.
Since the band is especially popular with younger generations, pick your setting and give it a try!
presentJITTERIN’JINN
JITTERIN’ JINN’s “Present” is a smash hit that represents 1990s J-pop.
It’s a classic that anyone from that generation can sing, but in fact, the song is also quite well-known as a drinking-party call song.
It seems people often do the calls during the chorus, but since there are lots of local variations, you might want to ask someone who knows the details.
Naughty SunORANGE RANGE
“Ikenai Taiyō” is ORANGE RANGE’s 17th single, released in 2007.
It was also used as the opening theme for the TV drama “Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~ Ikemen Paradise ~.” It’s a hot summer anthem that’s become a seasonal staple.
Since the lyrics can be a bit edgy for some, it’s best to save it for later in a karaoke session once the mood has warmed up.
Highly recommended for livening up drinking parties.
Roppongi ~Giroppon~nezumi senpai
Rats Senpai’s “Roppongi ~GIROPPON~,” which was popular in 2008, is a mood kayōkyoku (mood-style enka/pop) song! Its chorus, where he repeatedly says “po,” is very famous and was even used in commercials.
It takes a little while to get to the chorus, but there’s a playful pause and repetition at the end, making it a great karaoke song that can get laughs.
It’s recommended for moments when you want to calm the atmosphere a bit after a run of up-tempo songs.
I’m going to Tokyo.Yoshi Ikuzo
Songs with slightly quirky lyrics are always fun and get everyone hyped! So how about Ikuzo Yoshi’s “Ora Tokyo sa Igu da” (I’m Headin’ to Tokyo)? This track, packed with heavy dialect, is well known for its lyrics about a country kid deciding to head to Tokyo.
In fact, it’s even said to be the origin of Japanese rap.
If you slip it in between other Japanese rap tracks, the contrast will probably get a big reaction.
I messed up.hannya
In recent years, the hip-hop scene has been getting renewed attention thanks to shows like “Freestyle Dungeon,” and one of the highly recognized, top-tier rappers who appeared on that popular program is Hannya.
One of his signature tracks is “Yacchatta” (“I Messed Up”).
The song humorously portrays various situations that make you want to say, “I messed up.” It would be even more fun to make a parody version using your own everyday “I messed up” moments.
