Farewell gatherings—like company send-offs or parties after graduation—tend to get quiet and a bit lonely, don’t they?

Saying goodbye is especially tough when it’s to close colleagues or seniors you’ve gotten along well with.

But we can’t stay gloomy forever!

Let’s send off our colleagues and seniors who are starting a new chapter with as much brightness as we can!

In this article, we’ll introduce some funny songs that can lift the mood at farewells like send-off parties.

Let’s make it a farewell event that, when people look back later, makes them think, “I really had a great time at that company, that department, that school!”

Funny songs to liven up a farewell party (11–20)

Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā

The signature song of Golden Bomber, the air band that reigns as the king of karaoke hits.

A smash-hit track guaranteed to make you forget the sadness of a breakup and just dance, laugh, and get hyped.

With this song alone, you’re sure to get the crowd laughing—an absolute crowd-pleaser.

If you want to liven up a farewell party, we recommend Group Tamashii’s “I’ll Buy You Juice ♥.” Ever since its 2005 release, its zany lyrics have grabbed listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.

The humor and energy created by its uniquely charismatic members—like Sadao Abe and Kankuro Kudo—will completely transform the event’s somber mood.

Plus, the fact that this song was the opening theme for Sgt.

Frog makes for a great conversation starter, guaranteeing a lively time! Turn the sadness of “goodbyes” into smiles, and celebrate a fresh start!

aonori (green laver seaweed)Buriifu & Torankusu

Setting aside whether it’s suitable for a farewell party, here’s a song that’ll make you chuckle: Brief & Trunks’ “Aonori.” The song’s personality is way too strong, so it’s not suited for background music or a farewell montage! That said, if you don’t want the event to get too sentimental, definitely consider harnessing the power of this comic song!

The funk band Rekishi’s signature song, “Kira Kira Bushi.” While the lyrics are humorous, it’s a bona fide funk number, so I think it will really liven up the venue even as background music.

Recreating that afro would be great, too.

It’s a reliably uplifting dance track, don’t you think?

The Japanese comic song “PPAP,” which went viral around the world, is perfect as an act for a farewell party thanks to its ultra-catchy tune! You can perform it as-is, or arrange the lyrics for the occasion.

And above all, when you do PPAP, it’s all about the costume.

Make sure to suit up properly and go all in!

Dancing Hero (Eat You Up)Oginome Yōko

A slightly addictive dance number released by Yoko Oginome in 1985.

It became famous after being remade in 2014, but this unique and catchy track might also have the power to liven up a farewell party.

For example, a surprise dance or a farewell stage performance would be great ideas!

Nanawo Akari, who delivers addictive songs in her unique “social-misfit dame-pop” style, has released this single in February 2025, and it was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime “I’m the Receptionist of the Guild, but I Don’t Want Overtime, So I’m Going to Solo the Boss.” Set to a high-velocity melody composed by Tamaya 2060% of Wienners, the song boldly and hilariously extols the importance of being kind to yourself.

Its positive lyrics and rhythm, which laugh off the grind of work and study, are perfect for a thank-you party performance! If you hype it up with a comical dance together with teachers and friends, the venue is sure to be filled with bright smiles and a sense of camaraderie!
