[2026] A roundup of crowd-pleasing gag/performance songs for party entertainment

TOKYO GIRLPerfume

[Official Music Video] Perfume 「TOKYO GIRL」（short ver.）

Characterized by its airy melodies and inventive arrangement, this work was released in February 2017.

It was selected as the theme song for NTV’s Wednesday drama “Tokyo Tarareba Musume,” marking Perfume’s first new track in about ten months.

The lyrics depict the everyday lives and emotions of women living in Tokyo, delicately expressing their pursuit of individuality amid the bustle of the city.

Coupled with Perfume’s signature pop, catchy sound, it’s a song that resonates with listeners.

Incorporating it into a performance or skit, along with its distinctive choreography, is sure to create a lively, glamorous atmosphere.

[Official Music Video] Perfume “Chocolate Disco”

It’s one of Perfume’s most well-known songs.

Just having everyone shout “Chocolate Disco!!” during the chorus makes it a super exciting track.

The lyrics and melody are very cute, so it sounds adorable when women sing it, and it’s also very popular with men.

Perfume is one of the units produced by Yasutaka Nakata that achieved great success.

The choreography for this song is a bit challenging, but as a performance piece it’s high-quality and will definitely leave a lasting impression on the audience.

It would be great to have young women put on heels and skirts and fully get into character.

For a party with close friends or a slightly geeky crowd, REAL AKIBA BOYZ’s “Otakuni Arigacchi” is a top recommendation.

It starts off by presenting classic otaku “relatable moments” almost like a rhythm comedy bit—feel free to turn it into a parody to get laughs from your friends.

In the latter half, there’s a section where you can suddenly show off some cool dance moves, so go all out and make it look awesome.

The contrast between the first and second halves is one of the song’s key selling points! During the call-and-response parts, hype everyone up so the whole party can get in on it together!

It might be disrespectful to fans if you use it as a gag, but since it’s a song everyone knows, it’s surprisingly easy to turn into a bit and I actually recommend it.

You can go wild and dance like crazy to the intense moves, or even use it for a one-shot performance trick.

Here we go! Phantom Thief GirlMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto

[Momoclo MV] Go for it! Phantom Thief Girl / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER / IKUZE! KAITOU SHOUJO)

Every Momoiro Clover Z song is a perfect, high-energy choice for a performance.

I think this one is especially upbeat and great.

There’s a part in the song where each member is introduced, so if you change those parts to the names of the people doing the performance, it’ll really hype up the crowd.

It would probably be funny even if men danced to it.

Theme of Eccentric Boy Bowie

Let me introduce a surefire crowd-pleaser that will have everyone laughing: “Theme of Eccentric Shonen Bowie.” This song was used on the variety show Downtown no Gottsu Ee Kanji.

The lyrics were written by Hitoshi Matsumoto, and the vocals were performed by the unit Eccentric Shonen Bowie All Stars, which includes Masatoshi Hamada.

It’s a lively track with plenty of comedic moments, making it perfect for warming up the crowd.

Another feature of this song is its relatively low key, which makes it easy to sing.
