Hey! Hey!Tonneruzu

Tunnels’ “Ora Ora” portrays drunken behavior throughout the entire song.

Released in 1987, it features lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto and music by Tsugutoshi Gotō, who also composed for the 48 groups including AKB48, as well as Onyanko Club.

People often say, “Drink, but don’t let the drink control you,” yet the characters in this song seem completely controlled by alcohol.

Some listeners might picture someone they know who’s just like that, while others may find themselves thinking, “I’ve done that too,” and relate to it.

A song by 10-FEET produced as the ending theme for the film The First Slam Dunk.

It was released as a digital single in November 2022 and was also included on their ninth album, Collins, released in December of the same year.

With lyrics that weave in basketball terminology, the song strikingly explores themes of pursuing dreams and self-actualization.

It gained attention on TikTok and won Best Rock Video at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan in 2023.

Its high-energy band sound and catchy melody make it perfect for getting crowds fired up at karaoke—an excellent track for boosting a sense of unity at drinking parties.

Maybe PART IIMiki Katsuhiko & Kobayashi Sachiko

“Moshikashite PART II” evokes the feel of a dangerous, adult romance.

Released in 1984, it’s a collaboration between Sachiko Kobayashi and composer Katsuhiko Miki.

It also serves as an answer song to “Moshikashite,” which came out about six months earlier.

The lyrics portray a relationship that deepens under the pretense of alcohol, even as the narrator worries that getting involved with this person might not be a good idea.

The melody, which heightens the thrill of the couple’s growing love, is also memorable.

Be sure to listen to it together with Part 1, “Moshikashite.”

Until the World Ends…WANDS

[Parody Song] Until the World Ends, Only Corporate Drones Will Understand... / WANDS
Until the World Ends...WANDS

This is a parody song with lyrics imbued with sorrow that evoke self-deprecating laughter.

Even if your situation is a bit tough, sometimes laughing it off can give you energy, right? And simply sharing a sense of “we’re all like this” can make you feel better too.

Karaoke is a perfect place for that kind of mutual encouragement.

The key with this song is to sing it earnestly to build a sense of shared empathy.

Laugh together and belt it out—“Yep, that’s exactly how companies are!”—and turn it into positive energy to say, “Let’s keep doing our best starting tomorrow!”

In conclusion

We introduced many lively drinking songs for karaoke—were there any you actually wanted to try singing? There are all kinds: not just songs that get everyone hyped as-is, but also ones with brilliant parody lyrics and songs with rules that everyone can enjoy together.

Sing along and have fun with everyone! Just be careful not to get carried away and drink too much!
