Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

The moment the intro starts and someone shouts, “Oh, I know this one!”—that excitement is exactly what makes intro quizzes so fun, isn’t it? Hit songs from the Reiwa era feature many catchy melodies, making them enjoyable across generations.

Just a few seconds of the opening can bring memories rushing back, and before you know it, people are clapping along or humming.

In this article, we’ll introduce plenty of Reiwa-era crowd-pleasers that will instantly brighten the mood in any intro quiz.

Use it as inspiration when you’re looking for ideas for recreational activities or events!

The group Atarashii Gakko! has been drawing attention with a nostalgic melody reminiscent of Showa-era kayōkyoku and their uniquely charismatic performances.

This work skillfully portrays the inner conflict and restlessness of yearning to be a grown woman while not yet fully mature, leaving a powerful impression on listeners.

Released in May 2020, the song is also included on the album “Ichijikikoku” (Temporary Return).

Sparked by TikTok, its distinctive head-shaking dance went viral and even made the Top Ten of the U-Can New Words and Buzzwords Awards.

With an intro that exudes a Showa-era vibe, it’s easy for older listeners to naturally catch the rhythm, making it a great pick for intro-quiz segments in recreational settings.
