[2026] Get everyone hyped! Fun and funny songs that kill at drinking parties (41–50)
Hamtaro Tottoko SongHamuchanzu
This song by the Hamuchans is truly a gem that livens up any drinking party.
Sung in the voices of cute characters, its melody is charmingly familiar and easy for anyone to hum along to.
The lyrics, while simple and depicting Hamtaro’s everyday life, warmly embrace the listener’s heart.
Released in September 2000 and used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Tottoko Hamtaro,” the track has spawned sequels and a variety of arranged versions, and is loved by people of all ages.
Sing it at a party, and it’s sure to put a smile on everyone’s face.
It’s a song that can be enjoyed regardless of age, making it perfect for gatherings with friends from different generations.
FriendsOkazaki Taiiku
Tekkun, famously known as Okazaki Taiiku’s only friend on stage, stars in this playful track “Friends,” where their back-and-forth banter shines.
It kicks off with a peppy melody that could fit right into a kids’ show, and the two sing joyfully together throughout… until the dissing of the band starts, turning into a cheeky song about how going solo is more profitable! The chorus’s level of dissing really hits, building to an energy that makes you want to strike a pose and start dancing.
Whether you know them or not, you’re guaranteed to get hyped!
Aim to be a Pokémon MasterMatsumoto Rika
“Aim to Be a Pokémon Master” is the very first opening theme of the hugely popular anime Pokémon—famous enough that it needs no introduction.
Released in 1997, this song is so closely associated with Pokémon that many people think of it as the definitive anthem, and it has maintained strong popularity, continuing to be listened to even today.
The lyrics, which are a bit like a tongue-twister, are fun too.
It’s an upbeat song that will stir nostalgia not only for Pokémon fans, but even for those who aren’t.
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko
When it comes to karaoke songs from the bubble era, Yoko Oginome’s “Dancing Hero” is the one! It was released in 1985 as her seventh single, but it drew renewed attention after comedian Nora Hirano showcased bubble-era gags.
The “Bubbly Dance” performed by high school students also became a hot topic and was featured on TV, rekindling the song’s popularity.
It’s a track that both the younger generation and the bubble generation can enjoy!
ultra soulB’z
B’z, the rock band Japan is proud of, and their explosive rock tune “ultra soul.” Just having this song in your karaoke repertoire already gives you confidence.
And anyone who knows how to enjoy this track is probably already waiting for that moment without needing me to write another word.
B’z songs are packed with phrases that get the crowd pumped, but the lines in “ultra soul” are especially simple and powerful! If everyone can shout in unison at that moment, it’ll turn into an incredibly satisfying karaoke live show, don’t you think?
New Treasure IslandSakanakushon
Shin Takarajima, Sakanaction’s super catchy dance tune released in 2015.
It somehow feels a bit nostalgic yet fresh at the same time.
On social media, mash-up joke videos with other clips have also become a hot topic, and it’s fun that Ichiro Yamaguchi, the vocalist himself, sometimes picks them up and comments on them.
And of course, beyond the music itself, a big part of the song’s appeal is the music video, which pays homage to the classic comedy show The Drifters’ All-Star Family Get-Together.
It’s a reliable crowd-pleaser that’s guaranteed to hype things up when you sing it while doing the Drifters dance.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
If you’re looking for a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for karaoke, I recommend “Memeshikute” by Golden Bomber! This song was a huge hit in 2009 and is often performed on TV shows, so many people have probably heard it.
The chorus has simple hand choreography and parts where you jump up and down, making it perfect for getting into the rhythm and amping up the energy.
