[2026] Party songs that hype up entertainment and performances. Popular party tunes (71–80)
New Treasure IslandSakanakushon
As soon as the intro starts, you can’t help but move—perfect as party background music! Released by Sakanaction in 2015, this track’s distinctive rhythm is addictively catchy, and stepping along together creates a real sense of unity.
Its pop melody meshes with rock sounds, making it a great pick for a performance or skit.
The beautiful, delicate synthesizers and lyrics that make you want to face forward and move on will give anyone taking a new step a gentle push.
Also used as the theme song for the film Bakuman, this lively uptempo tune fills the audience with the expectation that something fun is about to begin.
BlizzardMiura Daichi
It’s Daichi Miura’s 24th single and the theme song for the movie Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
You could call it an anthem that cheers on the younger generation.
Even aside from its use in the film, it’s a song that feels great to listen to, and if you learn the dance, it’s sure to get people of all ages—from adults to kids—fired up at any event.
It’s especially perfect for wedding performances!
STAR LIGHTHikaru GENJI
This song is the debut track of Johnny’s biggest idol group, Hikaru GENJI! It was created by ASKA from CHAGE and ASKA.
It really gets the crowd going if you sing it while wearing roller skates.
I think it’s also fun to assign roles to different people and sing it that way.
SenbonzakuraWagakki Band
This is Golden Bomber’s signature song.
It’s the legendary track that got them through four consecutive years on the Kohaku music show.
The singing and choreography aren’t too difficult, so it’s perfect for a party performance.
If possible, sing it with a sweet voice—it’s sure to grab people.
How you sing it is up to you, so feel free to arrange it in your own style.
Yattahappatai
A song born from a hugely popular sketch on the variety show “Warau Inu no Bōken.” Back when the show aired, the “Leaf Squad” was a big hit—Uchimura and Nanbara (of Ucchan Nanchan), Neptune, and Bibiru Ōki danced wearing only a single leaf.
With just the phrase “Yatta!” everyone felt happy.
It’s a song that really gets the crowd going.
Mega Lover of LoveMakishimamu Za Horumon
When it comes to loud, high-energy tracks, Maximum the Hormone’s “Koi no Mega Lover” is the ultimate pick! With its gripping death growls and irresistibly upbeat tune, it’s perfect as background music to hype up the atmosphere—but it could also be a great choice to perform as the main act! You can split the parts among several people to match each voice, or if you’re brave, take on all the parts yourself for a big reaction! And don’t forget the headbanging.
Gather, party people!Yabai T-shatsu Yasan
Atsumare Party People gets your energy skyrocketing from the very first line.
Just from the title, you can tell it’s an all-out party tune by Yabai T-Shirts Yasan.
It’s a hyped-up dance number with call-and-response chants that you can’t help but shout along to, and those back-and-forth ad-libs are the perfect spots to amp things up.
The lyrics paint a fun night out, and just listening puts you in a party-night mood.
Even people who are usually serious will cut loose and go all out to enjoy the night before a day off!
