[Parody Songs & Chants] Drinking Songs That Hype Up Karaoke (31–40)

Subtly flashy (bling-bling, but nonchalant)Kondō Masahiko

Released in 1981 as Masahiko Kondo’s fourth single, this song was also tied in with several commercials, so many people probably remember it fondly.

Its crisp brass rock-style arrangement seems perfect for livening up a party.

When the chorus hits, get everyone to sing along at the top of their lungs and make it a night with no regrets.

ARASHI – ARAFES NATIONAL STADIUM 2012

Arashi, the national idol group, has lots of bright, upbeat songs that are perfect for fun drinking parties! Among them, “Troublemaker” is especially recommended because it’s easy to make parody lyrics.

This song was used as the theme for the drama “Tokujo Kabachi!!” starring member Sho Sakurai.

You can get everyone hyped by changing the chorus to something like “I’m not driiiinking!” Before “I’m not driiiinking,” you can add the name of someone who hasn’t been drinking much, insert “at all,” or even put in the name of a drink to playfully nudge them.

Since it’s such an energetic track, it’s the perfect number to liven up the atmosphere.

My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS

RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense [original ver.] [Official Music Video]
My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS

Zen Zen Zense by RADWIMPS, which gained popularity alongside Makoto Shinkai’s blockbuster anime film Your Name.

as one of its insert songs.

Its exhilarating, fast-paced melody is perfect for drinking scenes where the drinks keep flowing! A fun idea is to make a parody of Zen Zen Zense by adapting the chorus into something like “You’ve barely drunk anything,” keeping the feel of the original lyrics.

Try singing it to encourage someone who isn’t drinking much with the nuance of “Come on, drink more!” But be careful not to pressure them too much!

FlowerORANGE RANGE

Among ORANGE RANGE’s songs, this famous ballad—one of their most well-known—has apparently become a popular drinking song at parties.

The rules are simple: pass the microphone around and sing in turn; whoever sings the word “hana” (flower) has to drink.

That means the first person to sing will end up drinking, but just go with the flow—sing it out and drink with gusto (lol)! The word “hana” appears nine times in the lyrics, so it’s a game that can be enjoyed even with a large group.

Matchmaking party songrīmanmaiku

A hip-hop unit called Reiman Mic, whose members are all salarymen at top-tier companies.

Their song “Gōkon Song” is, as the title suggests, all about the ins and outs of group dating, and it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

Gōkon and alcohol often go hand in hand, of course, but the vibe of this track—the party energy—is seriously impressive.

Even if it has nothing to do with a gōkon, it’s the kind of song that would hype up a karaoke room and get everyone laughing.

By the way, their nickname is “Charari-man,” a play on “charai,” meaning flashy or flirty, and “salaryman” (lol).

Goodbye ElegySuda Masaki

In addition to his overwhelming presence as an actor, Masaki Suda continues to captivate many fans as a singer.

This work is his third single, released in February 2018, and it was selected as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Kiss That Kills.” The lyrics and composition were created by Hui Ishizaki, a singer-songwriter whom Suda deeply admires.

It’s a rock number that straightforwardly portrays the struggle of seeking love while being unable to escape loneliness, as well as the poignancy of parting.

The melody carries a touch of nostalgia, and the powerful, emotionally stirring lyrics leave a strong impression.

With relatively little variation in vocal range, it’s easy to sing and perfect for livening up a karaoke session.

The chorus, full of driving energy, is sure to create a sense of unity when everyone sings together.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to energize the mood at a post-drinks after-party.
