MR.KARA
It’s a super cute K-pop song.
It’s one of the most famous in K-pop, and both the dance—where you shake your hips—and the lyrics are really cute.
It’s a fun, highly recommended song that women can all sing and dance to together and get really pumped up.
The Tangerine SongSEX MACHINEGUNS
The ultimate novelty song: Mikan no Uta.
SEX MACHINEGUNS are a hard-hitting heavy metal band, but in this song they sing about hometown pride using “mikan,” a specialty product of Ehime Prefecture, where the vocalist Anchang is from.
People from Ehime, how about this for entertainment at your next event?
Strong Wind Slicked-Back (feat. Kaai Yuki)Yukopi
This song features a catchy melody that anyone can hum along to right away.
Its humorous lyrics, inspired by everyday happenings, resonate with many people.
Upon its release in March 2023, it exploded in popularity on social media and spawned numerous fan-made videos.
In April of the same year, it reached No.
1 on Billboard JAPAN’s “Niconico VOCALOID SONGS TOP20.” It was even selected as the theme for Nissin Foods’ Cup Noodles commercial, and its momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
With an easygoing style that anyone can enjoy, it’s perfect for parties and performances—an ideal pick when you want to lighten the mood.

Feeling great!!mihimaru GT
It’s cute but exciting—perfect for a girls’ performance piece.
I think it would be adorable to wear slightly sexy outfits and dance, and the audience can sing and dance along too.
The lyrics about “Let’s all drink!” are a perfect fit as well!
PONPONPONkyarī pamyu pamyu
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s unique worldview and poppy costumes are a great fit for entertainment segments and performances.
Arranging the outfits might take a bit of effort, but they look impressive and are widely recognized, so it’s sure to get the crowd excited.
This song is one of Kyary’s easier tracks to remember, so I highly recommend it.
It’s not me unless it’s meGesu no Kiwami Otome.
You’ve really become a trending artist in many ways.
It’s a high-level bit, but I feel like it could work at a wedding after-party.
I’d love to use it in a segment where the groom ‘pledges to follow the bride’s rules’ (lol).
Of course, that’s assuming there are people who get the joke…
Yo-kai Exercise No. 1Youkai Wotchi
It’s the theme song from Yo-kai Watch, a nationwide, culture-phenomenon anime that everyone from kids to adults knows! Play this song and get everyone dancing—there’s no doubt it’ll hype up the crowd! It’s even better because little kids can enjoy it together, too! The more seriously you go for it, the more fun this song gets!
