[2026] BGM Playlist to Speed Up Your Year-End Big Cleanup [Have Fun and Get Sparkling!] (31–40)
flying getAKB48
This track was chosen as the theme song for the 2011 drama “For You in Full Blossom ~Ikemen Paradise~,” starring Atsuko Maeda, who was a member of AKB48 at the time.
Since Maeda won first place in AKB48’s general election held beforehand, she took the center position for this song.
Its flashy, high-energy vibe makes you feel like, whatever it is—even dreaded deep cleaning—just go for it! You might even find yourself mimicking AKB’s mic performance with a broom in between…
Before you know it, you’ll have breezed through the cleaning—an invigorating song that leaves you feeling refreshed.
Heavy rotationAKB48
It’s a catchy song that almost everyone has heard at least once.
It’s a work by AKB48, released in August 2010.
The lyrics were written by Yasushi Akimoto, and the music was composed by Akira Yama-zaki.
The lyrics about passionate love resonate with the heart, set to a melody that unfolds dramatically.
When you listen to this track, your body will start moving naturally.
It’s an energizing song that’s perfect to accompany a big house-cleaning session.
New EraAdo
It seems that supermarket in-store BGM often features fairly rhythmic and lively selections.
There must be music that boosts your desire to shop.
In that sense, Ado’s song “New Genesis” might be a track that helps you power through the hassle of a big housecleaning.
As many of you know, it’s the theme song for the One Piece movie “ONE PIECE FILM RED” and was a massive hit representing 2022.
The song was written and composed by Yasutaka Tanaka, who has produced many tracks for Perfume and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
Let’s breeze through the big cleanup while listening to some upbeat music!
Flying DeityAyase × R-Shitei
Hiten is a collaborative track by Ayase—also known as a Vocaloid producer and composer for YOASOBI—and R-Shitei, the rapper from Creepy Nuts.
Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, it’s an energetic tune highlighted by the duo’s call-and-response interplay.
Its lyrics, which depict a resolve to keep fighting recklessly, are perfect for boosting your motivation as BGM while you relentlessly tackle a year’s worth of grime during a big housecleaning.
It’s a fast-paced number where aggressive rap intertwines with a catchy melody.
Small worldBUMP OF CHICKEN
To clean every corner thoroughly, you have to carefully spot even the tiniest bits of dirt.
The perfect BGM for such a big cleanup is “Small world” by BUMP OF CHICKEN.
Released in November 2021 as their 17th digital single, it was used as the theme song for the film “Sumikko Gurashi: The Little Wizard in the Blue Moonlight.” With lyrics that focus on a small world and a sound that puts you in a calm mood, it’s the ideal track for meticulous cleaning.

Future Projection IIDREAMS COME TRUE
This song, “Mirai Yosouzu II,” is one of DREAMS COME TRUE’s signature tracks and a beloved national love song.
Those who grew up listening to it have probably sent a signal with their brake lights at least once.
Tackle your cleaning while imagining your own future vision—of a tidy home and time spent in a beautiful room.
Choo Choo TRAINFANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE
A classic song that’s been passed down ever since HIRO (formerly of EXILE) was in the group ZOO.
“Choo Choo TRAIN” refers to a steam locomotive.
Now that you mention it, you can picture a train running across a snow-covered plain, can’t you? For dads it’s the ZOO version, for older brothers it’s the EXILE version—listening to the song together while cleaning sounds fun, doesn’t it? Of course, FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE’s “Choo Choo TRAIN” is wonderful too, showcasing the youthful energy of vocalists Yagi and Nakajima.
It’s hands down my number one recommendation for cleaning BGM! But even though it’s a rhythmic dance number, don’t get so caught up dancing that you forget to clean.
