[2026] Japanese party songs: Popular party tunes that hype up performances and skits (21–30)
Feeling great!!mihimaru GT
This is their debut single, which became a huge hit, featuring the distinctive, innocently sweet lollipop voice of hiroko, the vocalist of mihimaru GT.
There’s no way a song with the word “party” in the lyrics won’t get the crowd going.
It’s a high-energy number that makes everyone want to sing along to the chorus.
Poi poi poi pop poi poi popi—ayaman JAPAN
It’s a full-throttle, over-the-top, risqué party tune that’ll make you laugh, plain and simple.
Released in 2010 as Ayaman JAPAN’s debut single.
Even just the insanely catchy chorus melody leaves a huge impact—you’ll remember it after one listen! It’s got an energy that blows away stress and makes small worries feel irrelevant.
Rather than using it for the main part of a ceremony, it’s perfect as part of entertainment or a performance at an after-party where you want to maximize the hype.

Mr./Ms. (honorific suffix)FRUITS ZIPPER
This is a song that colored the 3rd anniversary of FRUITS ZIPPER’s debut.
Released digitally in June 2025, it’s a mid-tempo J-pop number filled with sun-like warmth and gratitude.
The lyrics, which express everyday happiness in a poppy way, will warm your heart just by reading them, and the bright sound arrangement is soothing.
It’s perfect for when you want to feel gentle or need a little push to move forward!
water lily blossomShonan no Kaze
Shonan no Kaze’s “Suirenka” features a beautiful koto-like synthesizer melody in the intro.
It’s a great pick for performances that open quietly, like at a school culture festival or a wedding after-party.
Then, in contrast to the intro, the main section bursts into an irresistibly bright, danceable summer tune.
The upbeat, straightforward lyrics are sure to fire you up, too.
Be sure to play this at your summer events—hook the audience with the intro, then get everyone dancing together when the main part hits!
ultra soulB’z
If you sing this at karaoke, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going! And if it plays at a party, it’ll ignite a fiery SOUL in everyone’s hearts.
I recommend holding back that passion until right before the chorus ends.
When the moment comes, belt out a big “Hai!!” together with everyone.
A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko
The moment the intro plays, everyone can’t help but think, “It’s that song!” and start singing along—Cruel Angel’s Thesis.
Originally the theme song for the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, it’s now so famous that even people who don’t watch anime know it! Released in 1995 by Yoko Takahashi, the song features a super cool signature phrase with synthesizers.
Its clear beginning, development, twist, and conclusion make it easy to match with skits or performances.
Be sure to make use of this song in a variety of situations!
New Treasure IslandSakanakushon
Released in 2015, “Shin Takarajima” is a song by Sakanaction, a Japanese rock band formed in 2005.
The band consists of five members, both men and women, including Ichiro Yamaguchi, who handles vocals and guitar.
Yamaguchi is responsible for writing and composing most of Sakanaction’s songs.
The title “Shin Takarajima” is said to be taken from a work by Osamu Tezuka, often called the God of Manga.
The music video for “Shin Takarajima” is also unique—a large-scale production filled with nostalgic homages that will make certain viewers chuckle with recognition.
It’s an energetic, positive number reminiscent of early Sakanaction.
Definitely give it a listen as a track to liven up any party.
