It’s a thrilling anthem by the rock band Kyuso Nekokami.

The lyrics, which satirize the inner workings of the music industry, pair perfectly with a catchy melody.

Released as a single in 2014, it’s included on the EP “Change the World.” With lines that cheerfully tackle the industry’s darker side—like “bands that major-debut but never get popular and end up breaking up”—it’s guaranteed to get laughs at karaoke.

It might also be perfect for confessing your fiery passion for music under the influence of a few drinks.

JO1 is a boys group active across a wide range of fields, including Japanese variety and music shows.

Among their songs, the perfect track for a drinking party is “Tiger,” released in 2023.

It’s a dance tune with a tribal vibe, featuring a heavy yet danceable sound.

Since the song develops over an EDM-based beat, it’s great for showcasing dance during the lyric-less hook, or trying call-and-response or parody lyrics.

Pair their passionate yet cool performance with the track to really energize your gathering.

I can’t stay a daydreaming girlAikawa Nanase

Released in 1995 as Nanase Aikawa’s debut single, this song quickly drew attention.

It’s said to have become one of the standard tunes for the Brazilian-style Bon Odori known as “Matsuri Dance” in Brazil, and seems to be an essential track wherever people want to get hyped.

At drinking parties, it’s common to change the end of the chorus to “I can’t be someone who can’t drink [XX]” and then drink during the following instrumental break.

Back when it aired, Tottoko Hamutaro (Hamtaro) was very popular among many children.

The cute hamster characters were a hit, of course, and the theme song was also adorable, catchy, and well-loved! That “Hamtaro Tottoko Uta” has since been adapted with changed lyrics and embraced as a drinking song! In the chorus, you swap the lyrics for “Tottoto hayo nome [Name]” to insert the name of the person you want to make drink.

It’s a pretty unreasonable rule, but if you sing it at a gathering of people from the same generation, it’s sure to get everyone hyped.

presentJITTERIN’JINN

They made their major debut in 1989 after appearing on the then-popular show “Miyake Yūji’s Ikasu Band Tengoku.” Many people probably remember this JITTERIN’JINN song with nostalgia.

Although it’s a heartbreak song, its ska-like rhythm really pumps you up.

It’s fun to ad-lib and sing in order the things “you gave me,” then take a drink on the chorus—highly recommended.

Repzen Chikyu is a hot topic everywhere.

Doesn’t the title of this song, “Buster Call,” sound familiar? That’s right—it’s the term used in the popular anime One Piece for when the Navy’s top brass assemble and launch an all-out attack.

Despite that heavy title, this track is a party essential packed with all kinds of crowd calls.

Just watching it makes you feel like you’re drinking, and it’s guaranteed to fire up any karaoke session—a true party anthem.
