This is one of Yabai T-Shirts Yasan’s signature songs, “Gather! Party People.” It’s packed with relatable party-people clichés, but it also shows the flip side of the party crowd and the cute, laugh-inducing glimpses of “ordinary folks” who aspire to be like them.

Above all, it’s a track you can really move to and get hyped with! Even if you don’t know the lyrics, everyone ends up chanting the “Sha! Sha! Sha!” call together, right?

Aim to be a Pokémon MasterMatsumoto Rika

It’s a classic theme song from a nationally beloved anime, and most people from the Pokémon generation know it, right? This song isn’t a parody version or a call-and-response; it’s a drinking song where everyone sings together following a certain rule.

First, you pass the mic around and sing the song one phrase at a time.

And when you put this song on at karaoke, depending on the machine, Pokémon footage will play—when Pikachu appears on the screen, the person currently singing has to drink.

It’s great because you can enjoy it casually without having to memorize any parody lyrics or calls.

Highly recommended!

This song was released in 2016 by Balloon, the Vocaloid producer alias of Keina Suda, who is now active as a singer-songwriter.

It’s still loved today as a popular, staple Vocaloid track, and many of you may have heard it before! With its rock-inspired, fast-paced accompaniment and catchy beat, it’s sure to hype up the room if you sing it at karaoke.

There are numerous drinking-song variations using this track shared online, so if you’re at a drinking party with Vocaloid fans, definitely give it a try.

Aimyong’s third major-label single, released in August 2017, is a song that captures the bittersweetness of a youthful crush.

The clumsy desire to share one’s favorite music is conveyed through a nostalgic band sound.

It earned power-play rotation on 42 radio stations nationwide, and its streaming plays have surpassed 500 million—proof that it remains beloved years after its release.

The track is also included on her first full album, “Seishun no Excitement,” and is known as a song that epitomizes Aimyong’s artistic world.

For karaoke, swapping the word “rock” with “sake” is a fun twist that really gets the crowd going.

Add call-and-response shouts in time with the chorus peak, and the party atmosphere will light up instantly.

The Bear of the Forest

Japanese Children’s Song – Dōyō – Mori no Kuma-san – The Bear of the Forest

This song is a nursery rhyme that everyone knows, but it seems there’s a trend of changing the lyrics into a parody for party singing.

Since the song works like a call-and-response, it might be very easy to get the crowd going.

By the way, I’ve heard there’s also a sake called “Mori no Kuma-san.” For something I thought was a children’s song, it turned out to be a surprisingly formidable nursery rhyme.

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.

The Drifters were active on TV shows like TBS’s “Hachiji Dayo! Zen’in Shugo” and Fuji TV’s “Dorifu Daibakushō,” with their peak from the 1970s to the mid-1980s.

Their hit song “Dorifu no Hayakuchi Kotoba” is so well-known that it’s no exaggeration to say anyone above a certain age is sure to know it.

At first, they recite tongue twisters in rhythm in a straightforward way, but things get more intense around the part where Ken Shimura comes in with a changed voice.
